formed President Saget, under date
Of Pori-au- Prince, February 10, 1870, of the
arrival of the Severn, accompanied by the
monitor Dictator, and announced to him,
under instructions from the Government of
the United states, that negotiations we're then
pending between the United States Govern
ment and that of Dominica, and that during
the existence Of this negotiation the United
States Government will use all it's power to
prevent any interference on the part OF
the HnytieDs, or any other power,
with the Dominican Government Any
interference or attack, therefore, by
vessels under the Haytien, or any
other flag, upon the Dominicans, during the
pepdency of said negotiations, will be- consid-
cred an act of hostility to the flag of the
United States, and will provoke hostility in
return. The Haytien Government, through
its Foreign Secretary, on the 18th of February,
1870, in letter,addressed to, Minister Bassett,
said bis Government was resolved to abstain
from all interference in the internal affairs of
the Dominican Republic, and IN n formal
manner Rad instructed its agents at home aud
abroad to act in conformity with this resolu-
ton, and it had not failed to give similar
instructions to its Consuls at Kingston and
Curacao

Foreign Affairs.

The French Provisional Government has
authorized million and half francs of
forced paper currency, secured on State do
imains.
{ 1t is intended to place fifty thousand
belgian troops upon the frontier of Belgium,
in case General Faidherbe is forced in that
direction by his opposers.
The bombardment of Paris continues
|,without interruption throughout the day and
night, women and children being frequently
killed in the streets of the city.
"A Berlin despatch says that a semi
official statement made that Austria has
offered her services as mediator between
Prussia and France is premature.
The accounts relative to Chanzy's army
differ materially as from the sources whence
they come, the Germans asserting that it is
virtually crushed, and the French that it is re-
organized and ready to resume operations.
\ Jules Favre is ready and anxious to at
tend the London Conference, and is only pre-
cluded from proceeding to London by reason
4 of the bombardment. He, however, expects
shortly to get pass through the Prussian
lines by means of Minister Washburne's in
tercession.

An extensive use Of chloralum will sweep

Its influence over diseased processes is

properly treated otherwise, recoveryi may
be hoped for and even expected. 1t is the

WHAT RuMsELLERs CoNTRIBuTE We
find the following IN an exchange, without
any indication As to its origin. 1t presents
the business Of the liquor dealer in striking
contrast with trades which are useful and
honorable
Every individual in society is expected
TO contribute some thing to its advance
n,ent and interest. We remember to have
read, years ago. Of company OF trades
men, who had united themselves together
in mutual benefit society. and each one
had to relate what he could contribute to
its support. First the blacksmith came
forward and said:
Gentlemen. wish to become mem
Der Of your association"
swell. what can you do ?"
"Oh. can iron your carriages. shoe
your horses and make all kind Of impe-
ments."
"Vsry well, come in Mr.. Blacksmith" !"
"The mason applied for admission into
the society"
"And what can you do, sir ?"
IL can bn'ld your barns and houses.
stables and bridges"
"Very well. come in; we cannot do
without you"
Along comes the shoemaker. and says
81 wish to become member OF your
society,"
"Well. what can you do o.
al can make boots and shoes FOR you
"Comc in, Mr.. Shoemaker, we must
have you"
In turn all the different trades and pro-
fessions applied. till lastly, an individual
came in who wanted to become a mem Der.
"And who are you ,"
"a rumseller.'
"And what can you do -
II can cause yeu to build jails and
prisons and poorhouses.
"And is that all p
"No. can hll them; can fill your
jails with criminals, your prisons with
convicts, and your poorhouses with pau
pers."
What else can you do -
~ can bring the gray hairs Of the aged
to tho grave with sorrow | can break the
heart OF tho wife an blast the prospects OF
the friends Of talent. and fill the land with
more than the plaques Of Egypt
''Is that all you can do
"Geod heaven !" criod the rumseller
is not that enough -

A REVIEW or THE WAR.

IN view of the absorbing interest which
hangs about the fall of Paris, we present
elsewhere to-day a complete and carefully
prepared review of the great struggle between
France and Germany from the date of the
capitulation at Sedan to that of the fall of
Paris. The history of the earlier period of
the war was narrated at considerable length
Immediately after the overthrow of the
Empire, and it is only necessary to repeat in
this connection bare summary of the lead
ing events.
The candidature of Prince Leopold for the
vacant throne of Spain was first broached to
his colleagues by Marshal Prim on the 4th of
July, and on the'5th it first became known to
the world outside of diplomatic circles. On
the 9th, the Due de Gramont, French Minister
of Foreign Affairs, announced to the Cham
bers that under no pretext would France per-
NIT a German power to place one of its
princes on the throne of Charles V. Then
ensued the conferences between nj. Benedict,
the French Ambassador to Prussia, with King
William, at Ems. On the 18th the withdrawal
of Prince Leopold from the candidature was
announced, and ON the 14th the Due de Ora
mont acknowledged the official notification OF
the withdrawal. On that occasion he said;-
''The negotiations which we have been pur
suing with Prussia hare had no other object
! !gt hey hare net get !symiaated. Yet, OI
