TEEATV.—There
has
Always been a discrepancy of understanding
between oar Government and England with
tefercooe to the meaning of this Treaty on
important point*, and an agreement bee mod
impossible to be effected. The present Ad
ministration ha** never regarded it favorablv,
and it was distasteful to the English Govern
inent and now that the English Government
had agreed to do, and according to her own
had
not'
and eu
th«
(jy London Times prstends that the
occasion of increasing the British fleet in the
estern Waters is to intercept expeditions
contemplating a descent upon Ireland. It is
nonsense for such a journal to employ Buch
ridiculous pretences. No such thing is
thoaght of here, or feared in England, as no
one knows better thau the management of
the Timts, and the employment of such a
feint only creates a broad laugh. The real
causes of it are Cuba, St. Domingo, and the
jprecariousness of the Danish West India
Islands in case of any rupture between the
United States aud Denmark on account of
the Sound Dues. Every body understands
all this very well, and it deceives no one and
does not the least good to its own Govern
ment for the Timet to make a fool of itself.
(gTMacaulaj's two volumes in continua
tion of Engli^ history are meeting with
what is considered in England an unprece
dented success in advance. IIi« publishers
lhave orders for near 40,000 copies, and the
price is £1 16s. It was expected and prom
1iaed that these volumes would bring down
the history to the memory of living persons,
and the reading public will be much disap
pointed to find that these two volumes of fif
te«i hondmi psp« only eompriM four vtars
of William and Mary.
The French vintners engaged in Ohio
aay that the climate of that region is more
propitious for the grape culture than in
Prance. They express themselves verv de
cidedly, also, as to the relative value of for
ei?n and American wines, nnd predict that
the latter will ultimately monopolise the mar
ket, both because of their purify and supe
rior natural quality.
The grape crop of Ohio haa now become
very large and important, and is rapidly in
creasing. The stili wines are the cheapest,
bat, the least profitable, that made from the
Isabella grape this year being less than I
per gallon by the quantity. The Catawba
grape is the most profitable veriety, and the
wine expressed from it is considered decided
ly the best.
®T Lord Ellesmere, (who it will be re
membered visited our country a few months
since), in a late lecture at London on the
present war, speaking incidentally of the 1".
States, said he regarded this country as by
''far the most warlike nation OH the fa&of
the globe. He said

but they have a lurgt* population, accustomed
to the use of anus,and readv to volunteer in

M'lt* RA hh iv TUR T"MTEI STATES.—
Jules Janm published last M«ndav,inthe De
bats, a dramatic feuilleton on "Sl'lle Rachel
in the I nited States. He makes his text the
apparent lmlifT.-reace of th« audienco for the
f.assies, aud their calls for the Marscllaite
a "vile revolutionary doggerel." The Amer
icans are abused and insulted during twelve
columns, for ignorance, follv, \anitv, and
warned faithlessness, to such a degr'ee that
the writer wouid appear to bo mad. He begs
KachH to return to France, and to leave the
Americans to their bears, babv-shows, me
nagenes and Other national fetes up to their

It sounds odd for a critic of the intelligence
and standing of Janin to talk about the
"married faithlessness" of the American peo

a |«itent for fourteen year*, in France, Great Britain

in tone, hold and clear in effect, are universaily ad
mireil wherever they are exhibited, and are rapidly
taking the p'a -e of Daguerreotypes, which too often
prove evanescent and chungiug in their characters.

the weather in any climate, and will resist the aetion
of the elements and retain its brilliancy for age*—
