French Indian colonies.
The effect of this demand for single ship,
with the prospect of three other similar arrivals,
oonvu'sed the whole Blight of Benin. The chiefs
and all their subjects deserted legitimate trade,
and English merchants, entangled with larger
amount of property unpaid for in the interior,
were only too happy to be able to contract their
operations and ship their property as fast as
possible. But it soon appeared that M. Regis,
despite his large African experience, had en-.

THE DEMOCRACY OF NEW YORK

We publish this morning their appropriate place,
the resolutions adopted by the democracy Of the
city Of View York in mass meeting, several letters
addressed TO the committee Of arrangements, and
various excerpts from the democratic press Of that
State all uttering the tone of cordial appro-
val Of the sentiments and recommendation of the
Presidents message Tho meeting in New York
city was large ORE rejecting truly and unequiEO-
cally the sentiments Of the democracy of the com
mercial metropolis Of the country. The letters we
publish are a selection only from the largo number
addressed TO the committee Of arrangements all Of
which concur in their expressions Of approval Of the
positions of the President The extracts from the
press are a small portion only Of those we might
give they emanate from different sections of the
State and doubtless reflect truly the views Of the
democracy in their respective localities Together
these resolutions letters and extracts represent
tforitsrvey the position taken by the democracy of
the Empire State upon the immediate questions Of
the day in emphatic support Of the present ma
tional administration. Ii.
