END or 1HE ANGIo-FRESCH SQUABBIk-The
Niagara brings an important item of news.
namely. the settlement OF the dispute between
England and France. On the 18th, the day be-
fore the steamer Failed, Mr.. Disraeli announced
in Parliament that government had received
a very satisfactory despatch from the French
government, in reply to Lord Malmesbury, and
that al misunderstanding between the two cOun
tries was at an end. So this cloud has blown
over.
The blunder into which the French fell-the
publication of the addresses of the vaporing
colonies in the Moniteur, and the tone adopted
by the highest officials of State-was, 1t maybe
depended upon, rot committed by the Emperor.
II was biunder of over Jealous and indiscreet
sabordinst-s, seeking to curry favor by tremen-
dous protestations Of loyalty and fury against
any and every one who might in any way be
coupled with The sssassins. Ar sOOn ~ the Em-
peror perceived it, he bestirred himself to mend
the mischief; and now, it seems, he has sue
ceeded. That blunder Of Walewsh and the
other hot headed Bonapartists cost England her
administration and very nearly cost the two
countries the alliance.
The Emperor Is now precisely in the position
in which Louis Philippe found himself prior to
ls47. Louis Philippe and his Minister, Guizot,
were perfectly satisfied that the one thing need
full for France was peace with England. On the
other side of the channel, Sir Robert Peel on the
one side, snd Palmerston, Russell, Grey and the
liberal leaders ON the other, were all imbued
with the same opinion as regarded France.
NJ Guizot tells us In his memoirs how these
statesmen actually conspired together to keep the
peace between the two countries, no matter what
differences might occur, or how the populace
might rage. He also describes the immense
difficulty which attended their honorable task,
in consequence of the bitter and apparently in
durable hatred which the masses of the two
countries felt for each other. M. Guizot, how
ever, surmounted the obstacle, and carried his
point.
Napoleon has just experienced one Of the diff
have overcome it; but if he does not impose
more discretion upon his subordinates, the next
difficulty may be less easily got over.
MORE GoID.-The California steamer arrived
yesterday with fourteen hundred thousand dol
lars more in specie. Thus our banks continue to
swell their surplus, and will continue, in the
present depressed state of trade, to accumulate
until by midsummer, in all probability they
will bold the enormous aggregate Of forty-6ve
to fifty millions of specie, with nothing to do
with it but to lend it out on whatever they can
get.
People are not generally aware that we may
perhaps be on the eve of another gold mania
similar to that which was witnessed in lS4S-'5 so,
when the gold in California was discovered.
Sonora, and its vicinity which the church
party in Mexico are anxious to sell to the United
States-are known to be full of silver and gold
The latter Is believed to be even more abundant
in Sonora than in California. 1t is known that
for years parties who profitea by the experience
of California have been ready to avail them
selves Of the first chance for making descent
upon the gold of Sonora, and believe that it
would prove even more fruitful than any aurife-
rous region yet opened Should the present
anarchy in Mexico lead TO q sale Of Sonora to
us-as the church party want-what q tremen-
dous change would follow Fancy two Cali
fornias pouring in their gold simultaneously
at the rate Of nearly two millions week!
Kansas FOR LEcoMrroN-THE FREE STATE
MEN CosvERrED.-In another column will be
found telegraphic despatch from Washington,
stating that important intelligence from Kansas
had been received there under date of March
l6, TO the effect that the leading politicians and
the people generally Of the free State party are
TO LET Kansas come into the Union with the Lee
compton constitution. They have grown weary
OF shrieking, and are now, exGovernors and
all, turning their attention to the practical af-
fairs of iifc--operations in Indian land reserva-
tons railroads and other speculations, which
they expect to turn TO good account. Men of
all parties there have gone into these operations
with rush. II is said that several of the lead
ing free State men in Washington, though not
openly declaring their sentiments are with their
brethren in Kansas; 70 that the Kansas bubble
may be now said TO be fairly burst.
Coz. JOHNSTON IN A TIoHT PLAcE.-Accord-
ing TO the latest accounts from Camp Scott, in
the midst Of the most inhospitable wilderness Of
mountains and mountain defiles, and thousand
miles from the nearest sources of relief the
safety Of Col. Johnston scommand depends upon
timely supply Of provisions, munitions and re-
inforcements- We are glad TO know that all these
supplies are on their way to the camp; but
should they not arrive In season this Mormon
rebellion may assume very formidable shape.
In the meantime, regulars or volunteers, 1t
devolves upon Congress to second the active
excr,ions of the President to savc tho camp and
Fort Scott, and to reduce the rebellious Nor
mons TO law and order, or 10 cxpel them from
the country.
