place to-day At eleven o'clock his Imperial
Majestys yacht arrived nearly alongside, towing
a rowboat INTO which MS Majesty and suite
entered and thence transferred themselves to the
MonGdnOck.
On the Imperial party entering the small bo&t
the vessels of war and the torts belched forth a
salute. 1t is unnecessary to state that In this
the Amer can war vessels had the lions snare.
His Majesty was accom- panied by his sonin-aw,
the Conde d'Eu and his officers OF State, and his
household. He was received bV Commodore
Rodgers and Lieutenant Commander Bunce,
commanding the Monadnock, the yards OF the
several vessels OF war in port being manned.
His Majesty passed around the vessel on deck,
followed by his suite and courtiers. After this
his Majesty inspected the interior of the two
turrets, and listened with much attention to the
explanation gwen him in regard TO the system
OF pointing the guns. The turrets were made TO
reVolve and two guns were tired theretrom, in
illustration OF the explanations made. 1t may
be observed that the charge of powder was only
fifteen pounds, while the full charge is sixty
pounds.

A serious disturbance occurred In the north

report that colored man, named Alfred Lee,
had, in dispute with a white man, named
Bradley drawn knife on the latter.
A desperate mob pursued Lee, threatening to
lynch him, but he was protected by the police,
and on his being taken to the police station it
was proved that he was not at fault, and he was
discharged.
Misplaced Confidence.
The confidence of Speaker Colfax that the
President would sign the Freedmens bill has
been SO implicit, that he wagered box of cigars
with a prominent member from Connecticut,
asserting at the time that he had conversed with
the President and had been made aware of his
views. This morning the cigars we're found on
the desk Of the member, endoTsed-"From a

Eaeodote of Henry j. Foote.

We find in the correspondence of an ex-
change an anecdote of Henry s Foote,
which may be worth Reproducing even ifit il
not quite new. When Footc IVES in the
United States Senate. he tell asleep one day
while Baldwin, of Connecticut, was making
an elaborate sneech on some noint of Law. -
Westcett. of Florida, who was fond of a
practical joke walked Foote up and took him
to the lobby, where he repeated to him an
invecive which he said Baldwin had pro-
nounced against him while he was asleep.
Foote returned to the Senate Chamber in a
great rage. and as soou as Baldwin had con.
cln led, sprang to his feet and began a most
fery and personal attack against him.
Baldwin listened in astonishment.
At last Foote broke forth: Il will teach
the Senator lesson, when he calls me the
arch repudiator and robher chief z"
Baldwin Immediately rose and vehemently
denied that he had said anything of the
sort.
What cried Foote. g Does the Sena
tor deny the fact, does he dare to ieny it,
when heard him with those ears?" Suit-
ing the action to the word, and seizing the
attesting organ with finger and thumb, he
dragged it thus visibly into court. He was
greeted by rears oflaughter.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March Ie.
GENTLEMEN: in reply to your letter of
the 18th inst, desiring an explanation of my
letter to Hon j. w. Patterson, of New
Hampshire, dated on the 81 inst. | have
to say that the letter was written without
consultation with the President, as is this.
l have no explanations to make of the
sentiments or purposes expressed ia that
letter--nothinp to add 10 or take from them.
1t is the prerogative Of the President, not
mine. to answer the specific inquiries con-
tanned in your letter.
FraDkness. however, compels me to say
that do not regard the support or opposi-
tlon to the veto message, nor of the policy
Of the President or Congress in respect to
the reconstruction Of the States lately 10 re-
bellion, as a test ofloyalty to the Union Re-
publican party; and as said in my letter in
relation to the New Hampshire election. so
| say of the canvass pending in the State of

State would vote for Gen. Hawley, and
all his colleagues on the Union Republican
ticket.

to her: Betsy, have fulfilled your wish.
You said you wished you we're separated
from me. Here is the decree of divorce. /"
His wife was at first surprised, but far toe
indignant to betray any emotion. She said
she was ready to leave. She only needed
to pack up her goods. She wished he would
be present to zee that she took nothing ex-
cept what was her own. He stepped into
the adjoining room with her, where the
bureau and clothes-press were. The wife
proceeded in silence to take out the clothes
when suddenly her eyes fell upon q small
dress, and, quite overcome, she broke sut
in conyulsive weeping. The husband, hith-
erto an Indifferent observer, remarked her
emotion, and discovered the causs II was
the dress of their only child, little daughter
of three years, whe had died almost two
years ago. The husband was not less af-
