Louis NAPOLEON ON AMERICAN Abrams.
The Paris correspondent Of the National
Intelligencer. speaking Of the French Empe-
ror's reception ofathe foreign diplomatic corps;
on New Years day, relates the following:
When the collective reception of the d.
plonatic body was over, the Emperor passed
slowly along the line of Ambassadors and Min
listers, speaking a few words to each in person.
After a moments conversation with the Per-
sian Ambassador, who stood at the right Of
the Minister of the United States, the Elnpe-
ror approached Dir. Faulkner and cordially
shook his hand. The usual words of greet
ing were then exchanged, after which the
Emperor asked, in English:
I" What istthe latest intelligence you have
received from the United States? Not SO
alarming, 1 trust, as the papers represent
it ?"
sLike most nations, Sire" replied Mr.
Faulkner, 2. we, have our troubles, which have
lost none Of their coloring, as described in the
European press.

Dir. Faulkner.-HThe States still form one
common government, as heretofore. There
is excitement in portions of the confederacy,
and there are indications of extreme measures

THE FREE PRESS AND THE PEOPLE.

THE FREE PRESS AND THU PEOPLE
The Free Press has very suddenly become
a great advocate of the rights of the people,
and insists upon the people voting twice on
the question, what shall be done by the Con-
yention- once in the election Of Delegates,
! and again on the ratification of their action.
This sounds strangely, coming from the Free
Press, which approves of the conduct of Gov.
Hicks, who refuses to give the people of Ma
fryland any3sayas to what ought now to be
done, and which has constantly endeavored
to prevent the people Of Virginia fren voting
at all by. opposing the call of "a Convention.
But as now they have, despite his efforts, got
AN opportunity to yote; he insists they ought
toyote twice on the same matter. His whole
object seems to be e produce delays, and to
throw Obstacles in the way of the peoples

purpose was anticipated, however, by Deputy
Marshal Williams, who stepped upon the train
at Camden station with her, and, upon reach.
ing the Relay, informed the military olhcss
there stationed that he Was fully satisfied that
Miss Smiths clothing consisted Of sonesAing
more than crinoline. '' s.T 'eN'1 'ta :
After parleying few minutes, il was pro-
posed and scceded to that . committee Of ladies
should be called upon to perform the search.
Accordingly, two Union ladies' were chosen,
who at once proceeded to the task Of counting
and feeling the texture of her gafmsnh, b.
meath which they discovered and brought 10
light . large number Of military buttons, and
considerable quantity Of gun caps, besides
several letters addressed to wellknovn cbafac.

These were all nicely packed, and strapped
around her waist, beneath her clothing. On

incapacitate me. for time, from filling my stu-
ses, fer month, when my throat became better.
ResumIng again, the soreness returned with IN
creased violence. / n,w had recourse to medi
cal advice, aud afterwards TO several advertised
remedies, with slight effect. Despsiring Of a
cure, relinqulshed my situation, and had turned
my attention 10 other bushes, when one of your
circulars fell into my han6s. determined TO Try
the Cordial, and bought bottle with that view.
1 could not see that was any better, after TAX
ing #, yet determined to persist. | accordingly
bought second, and soon after third bottle,
! by which time ! felt SO much better, that though
could not afford il, determined to purchase half
dozen. When ! bad taken the sixth, bottle, Il felt
that was cured, and heye takeu no more since.
Six months passed way, and have felt no re-
turn Of the disease. Ihave resumed my old stu
