AMERICAN Coal ron FRASCE.-The New

England has declared the shipment of coal
to France or Austria to be contrsband of
war, the French Government has been COM

MKMco.-Hopes are INDUCED that Mr.. Nc
Lean, our Minister to Mexico, will succeed
in negotiating favorable commercial aud
territorial treaty with the Liberal Govern
ment of Mexico that may entirely change
our relations with that country. Niramon,
the leader of the Reactionary party, was
elevated TO power by coalition between
priesthood and army. The priests not hnd-
ing him, of laIe,. so plant and devoted a
patizan as they required, attempted to de-
pose him and elevate his old rival, Qoloaga.
Miramon nipped the conspiracy in the bud
by seizing the treacherous priests and send
ing them to Vera Cruz. This dissentIon
among the partizans of the church, is likely
to insure the triumph Of the Liberal Gov
eminent, and treaty made, il viii be likely
to be execnted Since Miramou expciled the
American Consul, Mr.. Black, from the City
of Mexico, and refused to hold intercourse
with Mr.. Mclean, as American Minister,
Miramon's Secretary of State has very gra-
ciously profered to take all American citi-
zens under his special protection, as they
are deserted by their own Government, for
whose intermeddling policy he does not hold
them responsible. 81 tzE l.t.0EgA

A MODERN HERoD.-The Florence CORE
spondent of the Boston Courier, SAYS that
during the last illness OF the King of Naples,
his body was covered with vermin If this
be true, he died of the riorbas pedicUiarius,
or phthirisis, the result of horribly i'm
pure state OF the blood This loathsome
complaint, which is happily very rare, is
generally the punishment of excessive and
protracted debauchery. History records a
few instances of its ravsges. -a-sal
In the book of Acts we are told that Her
cd was eaten up BY worms. The Roman
Sylla, after life of infamous profigacy, was
covered in his last hours, by the most dis
gushing vermin. The gloomy tyrant, Philip
ii, of Spain, in his seventy -lirst year, was
tcrmented BY sores on his breast and knees,
the consequences of the vices of his youth,
from which issued countless inyriads of lice,
which it was impossible for his attendants to
destroy. aa -

The CURSE OF OuR CoUSTRY President
Buchanan is not given to the utterance of
much Truth; but the following paragraph,
part of speech recently delivered to the
students of the College in Raleigh, North
Carolina, is gospel: .isze. I.- 81 A.
The great curse of our country-that
curse which has involved so many of the
most promising young men of the land in
ruin, which has made mothers miserable,
and which has made. fathers feel disgraced
by the spectacle OF their own ofspring-is
the crime OF drunkenness, more deadly far
than the pestilence, than the yellow fever,
than the plague, and than all calamities that
have visited man. We bring upon our
selves a greater calamity than Heaven has
brought upon us, in any form or shape of
misery Everywhere you see the wrecks of
this dreadful vice scattered over the land,
in the destruction of the finest prospects that
ever were presented by the youth of any
country.

sA. The Coolie trade in Cuba is bringing
its own retribution upon the Island
The Coolies bring with them the Chinese
practice of using opium, a practice that un-
fits them often for enduring continued la
Dor, and renders them liable to any prevail
ing epidemie-wbieh they teach the ne
groes, and the result Of which is seen on
those plantations in which the two races
are thrown together The opium is sup
piled by European spectators, and is dis
tributed by Chinese agents. Then, too, there
IS no provision made for sending home
those Coolies whose term OF labor has ex-
PRED, and SIS they are by no means a desir-
able class it is thought that as the numbers
increase al cement will be introduced
which will hereafter become dangerous.

IMPORTANT DKcIsI0S.-The Trustees of the
town of Brookyille have unanimously de-
cided thai the liquor law passed at the late
session OF the Legislature is demonstrations
al and void They consequently refuse to is
sue licences for the sale of liquors. The
Supreme Court may now as well "shst up.
Every Justice OF the Peace, and constable
will assume the authority to decide apon the
constitutionality of every enactment of the
Legislature. The Trustees, we presume. hold
that the law, being unconstitutional, no one
is obliged to obey 1t, and every man is free
to sell liquor.

Neutral Rights.

neutral hIButs,
Our government is active just now in an
effort to settle with England upon perma-
nent basis and in clear and distinct terms,
for the future, the rights of neutrals. Mr..
Dallas is trying to arrange with the Eng
lish government a new maratime code which
is to be presented to all European powers
for approval and confirmation by mutual
treaties. As the mistress of the ocean, Eng
land has dictated code to the world,
framed, in good degree, to suit her own
interests and views; and up to This time she
has steadily resisted any notifications of it.
The first demand for a change of the old
code was made at the period of the armed
neutrality by Russia, Sweden, and Dem
mark, who proclaimed the principle that
free ships make free goods, that the Asg
covers the merchandise, and that blockade
must be actual by an adequate force, and
not merely nominal 1920 e.
England refused to yield her doctrine Of
the law, and the new principle was aban-
doned by all the European powers. The
United States, however, continued to insist
on il, and went into the war of 1912 prin.
cipaIly in its defence, The denial Of the
right to search our vessels engaged ia the
slave trade by the British cruisers on the
coast of Africa is in support and vindication
of the doctrine We have always insisted on
as part of the code. s-s
Englands position has materially chang
ed; she is now neutral herself, and inter
ested in securing the largest privileges fol
neutral trade. And should she become in
volyed in the war, her commerce must be
entrusted to neutral flags, and whatever new
rights they shall gain will be spared by her
own trade. 1t ia essential to England, too
should she become involved in the war-tc
remove i'm advance all chance of a quarrel
with the United State. At this moment
when England is looking with some appre.
hension upon the course of events which
may unite against her the fleets of Russia
she is becoming solicitous for the adoption
Of a maritime code which she has strenu
ously resisted fOr the Iaet eantury. So il is
that the changing necessities OF the hou
will bring our proud old enemy, England
to accede TO the modern code of neutral ant
maratime rights, and fix this one great STEP
in the progress OF nations upon permanent
base

NARROW Escape or THE EMPERoR.--Wh;ie
Lcuis Napoleon was out on a accommodating
excursion along the banks of the Pc, recent
iy, detachment of Austrians suddenly pre-
sented themselves to him, only two hundred
PAGES distant Whether they had lost their
way, or whether they had advanced thus
fur from mere bardihood, cannot be told !;
but it is probable that the latter superstition
is correct. Directly. however, the Emperor
saw them, he changed color. threw bis segar
away, drove the spurs into his horses
flanks, and gailoped back to voghera at a
wpace which would have done honor to the
inner of the Derby. Napoleon has faults,
it must be admitted; but that of wantouly
exposing bis person to the enemy cannot
certainly be numbered among them.

p6- Two recent acts of the French En-
peror show the important changes that have
occurred in the visws and practices of bellig-
erents. After the battle of Monticello he
sent bach the wounded AustriaRs without
exacting the Usual parole, and he has pun
ished two French grenadiers for forcibIy help
ing themselves in wine shop. by simply
dismissing them from the ranks, with the
observation that no heavier penalty could
be inflicted upon them than THEN being de-
prived of the opportunity Of sharing in the
glories Of the campaign. In olden times
the offending soldiers would have been
scourged as animals too insensible to he
punished by any moral inflicting; and the
captives would have been kept prisoners,
though ut u heavy cost 20 their captors.

&iru AN IcEsExs.-fu the last outward
bound trip of the steamship Edinburgh for
|, Glaseow, While pursuing her course in .
tbicH fog, of the banks Of Newfoundland,
on the 9th inst, at noon, shes run at full
speed into an iceberg, and being turned
suddenly around by the rebound aud
force OF the shock. Fortunately, she is
an iron steamer, and her hull is divided into
several water-tight compartments, else She
would have been instantly ergulphed, with
all on board. The Importance ofthese bulk
heads was strikingly illustrated. in her es-
cape. The iceberg was not discovered
though il was noon-till the ship was within
200 or 300 yards of it, under a full head Of
steam and press Of canvass with n fair wind.
The shock must have been terrible, and her
escape is wonderful. The passengers say
that her entire bows arc greatly shattered,
and the whole forward portion of the vessel
to the third bulkhead is filed with water.
When she struck, her two forward compart-
ments filed in few minutes, aud her bows
went nearly under water altogether, for she
became submerged to the figure heao. Her
stern was also raised so much out OF the
water that only one Aange of her fan touched
the water in its revolutions, and sometimes
when the ship pitched 1t did not do this, so
that her machinery was almost useless, and
her progress through the water very slow.
At first there was some excitement and
alarm among the passengers, but it soon
subsidized when it became evident that the
vessel was not sinking. Everything move
able was transferred AFT as quickly as posi-
bic, In order to balance the vessel and give
her machinery as much command upon the
water Is could be obtained for IT,. The men,
without distinction, were set to work to as
sisf the efforts of the crew, and they worked
the pumps cheerfnlly and necessarily from
that time till they reached St.Johns, which
was upwards of thirty hours afterwsrds.--
When the ship arrived at st. Johns the pas
sengers were greatly exhausted, and their
hands were blistsred from working at thu
pumps.
