La France draws attention to the fact that Ad-
mrsl Wilkes continues to subject British merchant
mon to search, and is inclined to believe that the
provocsons have other object than to exasperate
England and bring about war.
The London Herald Paris correspondent says:
Orders have been sent TO all the French naval
arsenas TO fit out all the ropelads that are launched,
and to hasten the completion Of those ON the stocks.
The war rumors 70 on increasing every day. Moth

The Emperor had all but made up bis mind TO re.

General of Algeria. The French Government cou.
fdently expected 10 receive news Of tho fall Of

r, ADAMs'S LETTER.

notism of passion that tins pervsrts things not
merely innocent in their nature but even praise
worthy in their design. In 10 otner way can we
account for the cutlery it is attempted to raise abou,
the letter Of protection from the visits OF American
cruisers given by Mr.. Adams TO ship bound for the
Mexican waters.
The instructions given TO the Federal cruisers in
the Gulf were undoubtedly too extensive and indis-
crlminate. Notorious a. II had become that large
conraband trade was being carried on through Mex.
lean ports with the Confederate territory west OF
tho Mississippi il was nos possible TO arress, or even
to search all British vessels in the vicinity OF The
blockaded harbors without great risk OF pro-
yoklng irritation and inficting injustice. Though
the Federal Prize Courts might adjudicate every
case with unimpeschable mpartiality, and the Fed
eral Government promptly award compensation to
the owners Of acquitted vessels, general order Of
this kind could not but work mischief. That 1t was
withdrawn upon representation OF ITS probabe con-
sequences il sufficient proof If any could be needed,
that it was designed simply to add strngency to tina
blockade not TO give mOles,ation to honest traders
In the same spirit was she document wTtten by
Mr. Adams, at the request Of firm in this country.
They volunteered TO satisfy him that their ship was
no H., ended TO run the blockade or 10 convey con-
trabapd stores to the Confsderates, directly or nd-
rectly. To save the ship from moestatlon he wrote
certificate to that effect In doing So he not only
protected an honest trader from annoyance, but
iessened the chances Of international msunderetsnd
ing. Every European ship thus attested by an
American Minister or OOnbul IL Que opJcCi vi coh-
,ineent collision and controversy withdrawn from
the game of hazard. The practice Of giving such
attestations would in reality mitigate the annoyance
10 which. neut rails subjected by the usages OF
maritime warfare and prevent those errors and ex
oesses by which naval commanders are apt to H.
flame the passions Of their respective countries.
II is no concern Of ours to vindicate either the
Federal Government or any Of its representatives.
II we thought them guilty of disregard for the
rights or the dignity Of this country, we should
blame them for criminal inssnsibility 10 the great
domestic interests they have in charge, as well a,
for ungratefu return 10 the active, dslnterested
friendship Of the majority of the English nation.
but we should DO slow to put IN Offensive con-
strucion upon any part of their procedure for the
very reason that they have such conspicuous and
acknowledged Inducements TO remain at peace

For the Journal.

Mr.. EDITOR Here is description of
western home, which perhaps may in
terest those who are fond of level country /:
"E. says may have the privilege of
sending you description Of this country,
and as think it will not be difficult, | have
taken piece of paper and am out doors
sitting on a log, SO | can survey the whole
world and give you correct picture oft.
In looking around here, one would think
this might be the only place in the uni.
verse, for can see the 'end of the world"
in every direction On the south, as far
as the eye can reach, are prairie and sky,
which appear to meet on very friendly
terms-thev seem quite glad to see each
other. The prairie is the greener of the
two; I cannot say which is the elder
On the west is sky and prairie, and |
think the prairie looks little nearer 80
the sky, than the sky does to it,-such
little differences are worth nothing where
everything looks so plain. On the north
is sky and prairie, interspersed with a
black bird. On the east it is quite differ
ent it is sky and prairie with few trees
standing up against the sky, but they
look very much out of place | think there
was a mistake made in the arrangement,
there are so few it is onl y an aggravation.
However the scenery is very fine here
just now 1t has been raining a little
and the clouds hang beautifully in the
sky They are of all colors, and [ pre-,
sumo, are sent to show us that the west
has charms as well as the east. The sky
is the handsomest thing in the country
but it is too far off to suit me. 1t is the
only thing | can see anywhere around
here to hang anything on, and it is rather
Iinconvenient to reach
Can you see this country now from my
description | have not told you about
our locust trees and the grounds about
our house We have very extensive
grounds here, indeed. This is all the
paper allowed myself to describe thi:
