ENCOURAGEMENT TO FOREIGN ADvEvTrRERs.-
When the self dubbed zouave who has made
such wreck of the peace and happiness Of an
honorable and respectable family, aud who has
been recently figuring so extensively In the
newspapers, came to this city, about year ago.
be was publicly endorsed and recommended TO
the community by score Of citizens of high
reputation, including, II we mistake not, the
names of General Sanford, the Harpers, &c.
OF course we are all liable to imposition; but it
strikes us that before an unknown adventurer
Is endorsed and recommended to public aud pri-
vate favor, those who assume the position of
sponsors should take more than ordinary pains
to ascertain that their protege is all that be
represents himself to be. IF Monsieur dc Riyicre
had not been certified TO, as Il turned out, 20 un-
deservedly by respectable citizens, be would
not 80 easily have gained access into

TO practice his French gsllantry In the
way be has done. As il Is, be has
abused the hospitality which his credentials
procured for him, and played sad havoc with
the peace and fair fame of an estimablc family.
We hope this will he salutary lesson TO those
who are 70 ready TO act az public sponsors to
all plausible adventures who come to our
shores.
In connection with this subject we cannot but
express our regret that paragraph rejecting
in most rude and unbecoming manner on the
character of one Of the ladies involved In this
matter should ever have been published. We
allude to an article published by the Ueve-
land Herald, purporting to be an account
Of the schoolgirl antecedents Of Mrs Blount.

A RAY OF HOPE FOR MExICo-It is stated
that General o 'DoDnell, the new Prime Minis
ter of Spain, is about to send ten thousand men
to Mexico TO enforce the claims Of Spanish SUBJ
jects, and demand reparation for past insults to
Spain. This is no doubt al old story revived
by a new minister, for the purpose of engaging
public attention at home, while be IL buoy dis
solving the Cor.ez and arranging for new cleo
TONS A war cry is as popular in Spain during
an electioneering canvass as it is anywhere
else. 1t would be very desirable that such an
expedition should be cent forth by Spain against
Mexico. The effect Of it in that republic would
be like the effect here of an English expedition
TO reconquer the old thirteen colonies Public
spirit in Mexico would receive new life.
Parties would suddenly sink their differences
and the whole country would be aroused, not
only to organize itself, but to oppose the
enemy. The popular feeling in Mexico is that
they have whipped the Spaniards out of the
country once, and that they can do it again,
and repeat as often as occasion may require.
We hope General O'Donnell will not give up
his enter prise.
