to Lisbon for adjudication. On hearing of this,
the French Government have sent two men-of-
war to the Tagus, to wake, with the. thunder of
and have peremptorily demanded the surrender
of the Charles ct Georges within forty weight
hours, have given orders to the feet at Toulon to
hold itself in readiness to sail, and twice YER
bally refused the offer of the Portuguese Gov
eminent to submit the matter to the arbitration
of third Power. The latest accounts hold out
hope indeed, that a friendly arrangement
may be expected, but matters are still in an
uncertain state. The ground On which the
French Government is understood to rely is,
that the presence of French delegate on board
the ship necessarily implied such absolute inno-
cence of any design of slave-trading, that the
Portuguese Government was bound to be sat
isfed with it at once, and to inquire no further
and that, compared with this conclusive proof,
all matters of suspicion or irregularity become
absolutely insignificant and ought to be thrown
aside as of no account whatever.

The thirst for blood is still showing itself in
this part of the country and the revengefu ma
ture of the Druses who inhabitant Mount Leb-

About eighteen years ago, Christian killed
a Druse in quarrel, and succeeded in making
his escape from the fury of the friends of the
deceased-during which time two members of
his family had been killed by the Druses, in

POSITION OF MR.. CRITTENDEN.

The Frankfort (ky.) Commonwealth a lead
ing A merican paper, says
If Douglas is crushed, the Administration
will have succeeded in prostrating the man who
had the boldness and hardihood to remind the
President of his Inconsistencies, and to brave
his power if Douglas wins, the verdict will
have been given against the most dangerous at
tempt on the part of the Executive to destroy
the freedom of the elective franchise, by oppo
sing the whole weight of his patronage to the
popularity of hated rival. The question to be
decided in the Illinois contest which is para
mount to all others is, Shall the interference OF
the Federal Executive in local elections be toll
erated-shall he be endorsed in removing men
from office for no other crime than that of being
favorable to the election Of a man who has
thwarted his will-shall he, by using the patron
age of the Federal Government, have the power
to say who shall and who shall not be elected
shall he, in short, ceasing TO be servant of the
will of the people, become their master, their
dictator? These are the questions at issue in
Illinois, and Mr.. Crittenden, as might be readi
ly conjectured, stands with Douglas against the
arrogance, the impertinent interference, and the
tyrannical dictation, of the President.
"As to the mere personal preference of Mr.
Crittenden between Douglas and Lincoln, if he
IDS oiiyy VIC uO hot huOW WudI IL Is nOT UO We
know what his views are as regards the mere
party policy of electing either the one or the
other but we greatly doubt whether he has Sc
riously taken anything of the kind into consid
Grafton. But we do know that he feels all the
sympathy for Douglas that soldier may natu
rally be supposed to feel for one who has fought
by his side in most desperate struggle for Fife
and death. 1t would be strange indeed, if, un
der such circumstances, he did not heartily de
sire Mr.. Douglass reelection. To say thai
Douglas ought to be overwhelmed by the inter
meddling Administration, to say that Dougla.
should be punished for the course he pursued in
the last Congress, would be to admit that the
Administration is justifable in using the same
expedients against himself, to acknowledge him
self a vile criminal, unworthy of public conf
dence and support. We know these to be Mr.
Crittenden's sentiments, from frequent CONVEX
sations had with him since his return from
Washington nor has he ever deviated from
them, or concealed them from any one who
thought the subject worthy of inquiry"

In another year France will possess forty screw

that, while there is general increase of land

strongest desire and firm intention of durable

Legislature. Mr.. Douglas has triumphed
against the Administration and the Republi-

LETTER FROM Hon. F. p. BLAIR, JUS.-The
course taken by the partisan press in the inter
est of Mr.. Douglas, both here and in Illinois,
has made it necessary for Mr. Blair to take
some notice Of their hbellous assaults and he
accordingly does 50 in letter. 1t viii be seen,
that whilst Mr.. Blair declines to retail private
conversation, he yet sees fit to relieve himself
from the implication of having sought an inter
view with Mr.. Douglas. In reference to the
facts alleged, that his letter was designed to
mitigate the hostility Of this journal against Mr..
Douglas, that it was done with Mr.. Douglass
concurrence, and that for the time being it had
the desired effect, can ourselves testify. Fur
Their we are not at liberty to speak, except to
repeat, that neither Mr.. Blair nor the person TO
whom his letter was addressed have given any
countenance to the newspaper comment which
has so unwarrantably transpred in regard to
private correspondence-&.L LOUIS Democrat

The AMERICAN TREATY WITH CHINA.-The
reader will find, in another column, a highly in
teresting article upon this subject, from the Lon
don Times. Our Minister to China, it will be
seen, is handled without gloves" We profess
to know nothing of the manner in which the ne
gotiation has been conducted, and we give the
article for what it is worth. We are aware that
the Administration, as the creature of the
Slave Interest, is jealous of Slavery hating Eng
land, and for that reason always ready to CO.
operate with any despotic Power against it !;
and since the shareholders will have no direct
interest in the China trade, it is not impossi-
BILE that the true interests of the country have
been sacrificed, as alleged by the Times, from a
splenetie hatred of country which has abol-
ished Slavery, and branded it as a crime.
!, The sympathy of the late Administration and
of the Slave Interest with Russia, on account
of its serfdom, in its late conflict of arms with
England and France, will be we'll remembered ;
and although the Gar is preparing for the abo-
lition Of that relic of barbarism his Government
will remain an absolute despotism, and for that
reason it will be less repulsive to the Slave OF
garchy than the Government Of free people,
like that of England.
