On the RamDara-

Yesterday "a little old French woman
was arrested for smuggling and an at
tempt was made to take her into private
apartments to search her clothing. She
resisted, and "spoke piece" in French,
which if translated would not sound well
to ears polite. On one arm she carried
basket of eggs, and with these she pelted
the officers and kept them at bay until
they were exhausted. The basket was
next used up, and as a last resort she took
one shoe, and motherly-like, spanked all
who approached her. She final y succu1nbed
to superior numbers and was taken pris-
oner. Upon being searched a large num-
ler of newly-made woolen stockings wers
found securely sewed to her chemise. She
was " conhscated. Detroit Tribune.

American Matters In England.

Lond n Cor. n. \. Times.
The advent of Mr. Caleb Cushing is
looked forward to with some interest and
there is an anxious feeling expressed that
all matters in controversy between the
two governments should be amicably ad-
iusted. Ii is now declared that the only
man in the Cabinet who desired the sue
cess of the Confederacy was the late Prime
Minister Lord Palmerston. If he could
have had his way he would have Joined
with the Emperor of the French in an
act Of recognition, but, powerful as he
was, he could not do this, with the Queen,
Russell, and the whole extreme liberal
and abolition party against him. The
Cabinet, as now constituted, is as friendly
to the United States as one of so conserva-
tive character can be. If it is changed
by the addition of Horseman and Lowe,
it will be moro hostile; If in the other di-
rection, by that of Bright and Foster, it
would be half Americanized.

disastrous Are occurred here this morning
The entire blocks of wooden buildings on
Water and corner of Water and Dock streets

Mexican News.
Renndintion OF Dehts.

SAN Francisco, November 25th.-Private
letters from commercial firm in Ma
zatlan and other Mexican ports were re-
ceved by the steamer John S. Stevens
They report the feeling against the French
us becoming stronger and stronger every
day.
Large purchases in wine and other COM
modities made in San Francisco during the
summer ON the French account, have been
rejected by resorting to the subterfuges of
short weights and inferior quality, to the
detriment of the merchants, who operated
largely on the presumed good faith of the
French commissiarat. Goods to the amount
of $500, 900. imported from Valparaiso to the
account of the French in Mexico have also
been repudiated, to the great disgust of the
parties Immediately Interested.
The General condition of the country is
represented as being deplorable, and under
no other government had things been in
such a state of chaos.
Most of the French troops have gone to
the northern frontier. 1t is said there
would be general rejoicing if the few hun
dreds remaining at Mazatlan would follow.
But for the action of the French authori-
ties it is believed there would have
been a good trade with the western Mexican
ports all through the winter, whereas every
thing is now depressed.
Mexican Items.
The Matamoras Ranchero, of the 10th,
says that the firing ON the steamer Antonio
from the north bank. on Friday last, was one
of the most dastardly outrages perpetrated
on the frontier. The Antonia had on board
a detachment of French marines and two
field pieces She grounded some miles be-
low the city, and while engaged with the
enemy on the Mexican side, a furious fire
was opened upon her at long range from the
neutral bank, which was very effective,
wOunding two marines.
The Liberals on the north bank were
dressed in Federal uniforms.
The same paper says: 1t appears to be
the settled purpose of some men to bring on
a war between the United States and
Mexico. 1t says that outlaws have been on
the American side in force where they make
their headquarters, receiving reports, issu-
lug orders enlisting, recruiting &c.
Antonio was fired upon from the Texas
shore near where Cortinas had been
SanPsd.
