We are reminded of the tribute that should ta paid to the genius of the au thor of tli* statement by a very roman tic case n >w before the courts in Gaines ville. Jt appears that a Mr. T. J> Field, H/ne lime ago, looked upon a Mies JuLan, of Gwinnett county, and, behold, the was fair and lovely Field's heart was immediately pierced by one of the missiles that Cupid not infrequently launches from his Alabama sling. Field succumbed. Love’s sweet dis content overcame him, aa it were, and his mind became a pasture wherein his drtstns of love wandered and browsed at leisure, feeding upon thoughts of the fair girl until satiety grew into raven ous hunger, lie worshipped at his kiew-found shrine with an assiduity ■hat could not hut compel success. His fcrdor won upon the young lady, bu | »t ti|*o» bar remomelees papa. The d gentleman had no more ro- anre in hia naturo than a last year’s rd'n-n* st, and he gave Field to under and that the space he took up in sting srourid the house courting old tie made otherwise available. Ir. tort, tbe papa gave tbe young man to ideia'-and that he didn’t come up to his eal of a son in law, and, furthermore, at if he lingered around the ranche, e climnte would become highly insa- brioun. Field didn’t linger, but oue ue morning when the rest of the fain ir were absent, he mads a raid upon I me Juhau domicil, carried tbe daru i eel off, rnmruonel a convenient justice of the peace, and the twain be came one. Their new found jnv, how ever, was short-lived. Wbi'e they were at the house of a friend er joying the a. rial delights of what is known in the Gw rgia vernacular as an '‘infair,” the paps waltsed dowu upon them ami, in the current language of the day, tcoofied his daughter in. lirwoa •trances ou the part of friends, entrea ties on the part of the frown, and tears cn the part of the bride were ail of no avail. The old man was inex orahle. He carried nis dang!.ter off, placed her in close confinement, and thus oracticaily bade defiance the scriptural injunction which says that those whom God hath joined to gather shall no man put asunder, ft it her than make a row, the husband quietly submitted, thinking that per haps the anger of the old man would soon he cooled and hia opposition cease; bm Field was mistaken— badly taken, lie toamed around without his mate for days and weeks, hut the old man’s vigilance was equal to the occasion. All advances, all endeav were in vain. Some one wren rather lightly that "love laughs at locksmiths.* This was probably in the olden time, for Field has long since discovered that love do an’l laugh when there irate fat her-in law sunning him the trout porch with a shot gun across his knees, aad a brindle cur in the hack yard that wouldn’t wag his tail if he had one. Growing impatient the disconsolate husband lias eued out a habeas corpus for the purpose of bringing the case before the courts. The case was to have before Judge K ce in Cham tiers one da* last week, hut was positioned, and it is mere than probable that it will finally he carried to the supreme court. The defense a*ys Mrs. Field ia a minor, being only seventeen years old; that she married without lbs consent of her parents, aad that the marriage ia void, for tl*-t the license issued from the court of ordinary waa issu'd neither by ti c or dinary nor a aworn deputy. Ad this the much-injured plaintiff admits is true, hut ha claims lliat the aa of the ordinary in recording the marriage and litwnae gives legality to the cere mony, aud ha cairns that the minority of bis wife has nothing what ever to do with the question of legal ity. The Gainesville Georgian allndmg to this aaye a feature of the case ia lliat if these parties are not ; country t>. bj I concerned —the property ol the peo- pie—the value of silver has not raised a hair’s bread!h sinoe the day it was worth more than gold, and we main tain that as soon as remonetisation takes p’ace, gold will drop down to its normal value, and silver will take the place it held in our currency for eighty years. ’I he gold organs say that their favorite metal is the standard of values. If so, it is a very pretty standard, that fluctuates and varies in the markets of the world every day. The organs, if they believed their own assertions, ought to quote the price of greenbacks, instead of the price of gold, hot with an inconsistency that ought to aston ish themseivea, if no one alas, they s«y day by day that gold ia worth 102. 103 or 110 aa the case may he. In this in stance their inconsistency is creditable, to aay the least, for they know that the value of the greenback is based on the public credit—on the confidence of the people in their government—and they know moreover that to eav the green b*ck is worth ao-and-to in gold,ina’ead of saying*hatg>!d is wirthao aad-so in greenbacks,would he absurd. It ia to he regretted that the instinct which Mines them to quote the fi actuations f their "standard” of value does not come to their aid v hen they and their followers engage in the senseless and ilirgraceful crusade against silver. ADRlASOPLE. Whether the Tu rka evacuated Adri anople because it was untenable or tiecauae of the Russian demands, not now an essential question. The Turks dejiarted r.nd tbe Russians are full pcr»*o««ion of the city whe*e Frederick Ihibirowa once concluded treaty with the Greeks. Its prox imity to Constantinople, and the fact that it holds the d«*I.-?atcs that are em- {towt*r<*d to end tbe war, tnakea it the scene of deepest interest at present in the east. The city is situated at the confluence >f three important rivers, tbe Mari's*, the Tuudja aud the Arda. It la 132 uhImh northwest of Constantinople, miles southeast of Thill pop *lis, and 72 ini tee from the nearest summit of the Rilkan range. La population baa h«*en uisly CHtwna'ed at from IW00Q to 140,(Kk) inhabitants. According to the moat trustworthy accounts, about half of these are Turks, 30,000 Bulgarians, and Greeks, and the remainder Jaws and Armenians. The first view of the city ia described by Von Moltke aa bs- ing wonderfully beautiful, tbe whi • mioaietsand tbe lead-roofed cupolas of themoiqtH , iq bulbs aud caravanserais rising in countless numbers above the codlesM maa* ( f fl*t ink f« and the broad tope of the plane trees. The country ound is uIho exceeding y iovrly From the valleys of the rivt-rs hills ri*ie up gently, but to a considerable height coveted with vineyards and orchard*, %nd aa far aa the eye can reach it sees nothing hut fertile fle d-, groves of fruit rttMsnd flourishing villages. Within* however, the streets are narrow and irregular, the shelving icofs of many 11 the bouses prej ding so as to meet those on the opposite side of th ' wav. The city occupies the site of *be at ill more ancient city of Orcstias. Vtstiges of lVlargian origin f und, upon which are Layers of R >mrn workmauship. Tlie latter are the re mainder of walls cvuist rui td by the Antoniues, on the • uins of those which, without going back to the sinu s’ pre historic days of the Atridra, defeu led the great capital of tbe Adrvsian K’ng&< f Thrace long anterior to the leigu oi hiilip < f Macedon. It wa t'ken by the Sultan Murad in 1362 He mvde it the capital of the Tu *iah ein r .re, remaining so uuiit Constautinople waa sailed in 1453. la the war of 1828 9, Adrianople was enteretl by the Russiau armv under Gen. Hiehitach, cn August 20, 1829. althougt he txad not in ore than 35.U00 vflective men. The Turks, however, were even more demoraliz-d then than now, and were so ax xious bra termiu- ation of tlie war that a trea:y of peace waa signed at Adrianople ou the 14 b of 8*q»umher. By thi.- treaty Russia obtaine«l large acoessieua of territory io Asia and Euroje, including tlie l»clta of the Danube; Moldavia and Wa lachia, which together now form and Waite of Connecticut. The two latter were absent, but Butler dodged Tbe clerk called his name twice, and each time Ben declined to vote. Sam Cox and Geo rye W. Patterson were the only two New Yorkers who voted for the hill. Messrs. Clyrner, Mackey, Wright, Turney, Campbell and Rtyne are the only Pennsylvanians recorded in the affirmative. Mr. Kelley waa absent. Every Ohio representative is recorded. Messrs. Sayier, banning, Gardner, dice, McMahon, Dickey, Neal, Ewing, Sautbard, Finley and Van Vorhees voted in the affirmative. Mf-aars. Cox, Garfield and Townsend voted in the negative. Alabama, Mis sissippi. Kentucky, | Indiana, Texas, Kansas, West Virginia Nebraska and Colorado were solid in the affirmative. Maine, New Hamp shire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Minne sota, Oregon and Nevada were solid in the negative. Every democrat from the south voted aye, while every re publican from that section, except Mr. Leonard of Louisiana, voted no. A comparison of the vote to-day with those on tne silver bill and on the re peal of the resumption act, shows that in every instance tue lines were clearly defined between the greenbackers and the coin men with two notab’e excep tiona. Mr. Errett, of Pennsylvania, who has been recognized aa a green back er, voted against them to-day; while Mr. Schleicher, of Tezwa, a hard money man, voted for Mr. Southard’i bill. “/A SELF DEFENCE." "Under these circums'ances,” says the New York Trihuue, alluding to the movement in favor of the remouetixa tiou of silver, “it would be exceeding ly unwiee for New York bankers to de fer unnecessarily any steps necessary for self-defence.” This is in tbe na ture of a confts'ion. New York bank era must not Gelay in their prepara tions for ee f defence. 1 he contraction of the currency, the scarcity of money, the lack of confidence—(not in : but iu the future of investments)—the shrinkage in values, all contribute to the gains of those who accumulate steal of producing. If the signs of tlie times are not monstrously deceitful the "New York hankers” have need to follow the adv.ee of the Tribune. I! the !ntrin«lc worh’.**n'S* of the nickel no excite* the wit of Tux Cosvmi tu»n t^whatea t’jy* of profound lo^ic would it b»ve piungrd had it happened to have thought of the paper upon which the fl.tt 0 treasury note* •»«.• ramp ed.

The editor cf the Tribune ought by all means to join a greenback club. He has given our nickel il ustration an application as forcible and as apt as logic c»n make it. We are proud to hare been the means of leading him to contc mplate aad apprecia’e the fact fhaf, albeit the greenback is not b.isei upon gold, it is, nevertheless, but a few cents less valuable, even measured by thego’d standard. We would be giad to have fhe Tribune tell us what gives this v&h.e to tbe greenback aud the nickel. Colonel Bakr, who sends the press dispa'ches to tbe southern papers, an nounces that Howard Carroll, of the New York Times, is not a candidate for any position under the present ad ministration. We are sorry to hear this, for if it is true, Mr. Hayea cannot pep- form in his case the ceremony of pacifi cation which is one of tbe pivots of bis policy. We take it for granted, there fore, tha* Carroll will not go to join Eimuads urd FdW The legislature of Miss suppi ha* begun a war on the names of the new counties of that state, created during uarjiet-bag rule.

Banner hyp th ecated these bonds or stocks, and .Stedman lost the difference. There is considerab’eaympathy expressed, even in Wail street, for the unfortunate poet. The senatorial elections of 187S have been held —five in number. Mr Allison, a republican and silver mrn hue been re-elected in Iowa, while Calif--raia, Ohio, Kentucky ‘aud Mary land have elected democrats— a gain oi i wo. In other w »rds, tour democrats and one rvpublican have succeeded two democrats and three republicans. The elections of next winter will com plete the rev^lu'ion. It is now slated that Airs.

It it be true that such an old duff r as Lord has lieen guilty cl stealing around in tbe south under an assumed name.it shows that the sap of romance stili flows ir. the gray leaf. Ho old and 60 cute ! It : s now stated that Messrs. Hill, aine, aud some of the other gold tampions have concluded to defer their remarks until the silver bill is taken up. They are prudent men. I« always best to fall back and fortify in tlie face of a speech like Mr. Vojr hees’d. “The Atlasta Constitution.” re marks the Rime Tribune, "calls for R-lief or Repudiation.” The Tribune should be more exact in i's construc tion of the remarks of iis contempora ries. We demand relief for the people in the shape of ttie remonetization ol tbe silver dollar which unconstitutional and surreptitious legislation has strip I»ed from our currency, and we try that if this relief is not speedily L coming, the pe« p e, plundered and outraged by the money power, will in their might and rc ptidiale the debt which has enabled tba bondholders to become the oppressor# of all classes of bu*ineea. We did not call for repudia tion—we merely predicted it. In tbe meantime, we advise the edi'or of the Tribune to (amiliariza himself with *he history of our bond legislation since 1865. The editor ol tbe Rune Tribune seems to be opposed to the r« mone* : z« ti«*n of silver, mainly beciuae The Constitution is published iu a four- storv building, it seems to us that il the absence cf other arguinen's th’s right to be tpiite effective.

It ITCH OP NOR •RASTERS IS JUMBLE. Washington, Jauuarv 23 —T *e fal lowing is a summary of the spat be tween Maine and Massachusetts in the senate vesterdaj: At the expiration of the morning hour, the Rta'ue of William King, con tributed by Maine to tlie natioral stat uary, was accepted, and Messrs. Ham lin and B : aine made addresses. Mr. Blaine alluded to the remuks of his colleague as to William King having taen chosen by Maine for the distin guished honor of her first representa tive in the nations! gallery, because, first of all, he was influenced iu erecting the district of Maiue into a free and iu- dependent state, and taid: The con nection of the district with Mas**chu« •etts had become exceedingly distaste* ul - I might say, intolerable—to a rna jority of our people, and a sentiment amounting well nigh to rancor and hatred could be sat'efied witn nothing fees than separation. This dislike, which waa mutual, and had been grow ing for years, wss strorgly inflamed ‘ y tbe war of 1812 and the resulting _ »litical difforeuces. Massacliusutts was deeply hostile to war, und dia all n her power to embarrass its prosecu- mn. Marne stood firmly by the ad- i in's*ration of Madison in upholding the honor of the fl rg. The majority of her people regarded the •attitude of Matsichusetts toward the general gov* enum n', (luring that struggle, as thor oughly unpatriotic if not treasonable. Partiiipaucy in the HaTtfo d conven tion, orany sympathy with ilsaims.was ooliticM dea'h and well-nkh social os tracism to ary man in Maine The contrary spirit prevailed in Massachu setts, and the venerable Wm. W Ridgeway, who represented the 5Iaine district in congress, and voted for the dec aration of war against Great Bri in, was seriously threatened with b violence as he passed through Maumcliuscvts on his way homeward.'’ Mr. B’aine continued at some length a similar strain, and concluded as Bows: “Through all these trying troubles and scenes, in which it was necessary to control the public senti ment of two pecples, it wss difficult to slate—it is quite impossible to over ate the sagacity, ability, addrpsi. th' I'ce, in a word the leader ship of Wil lmm King. Maiue followed him with implicit faith, and Mssischuselts came finally tu dread him af * r she had hated’ him. Irfluencing the two popu lations wi:h equal skill, governing one through love and the other through fear, he became finally c .uiplete master of the situation, and finally attained the cud f r which he had labored for many years with patient fi lelity, i*h commanding ability and with consummate tact.” Mr. Dawes —Mr. President, before the senate pisses the resolution, it is possible that some word; from Massa chusetts may be pardoned. I know that it is au intrusion to take the atten- ion of the senate outside of the rangemen's of the senators fiom Maiue on this question; but l do feel that it is not onty proper, but it is my July, poorly as 1 may be able, to dis charge that duty—to express, in the name of Massachuset s, my great re- giet that the eminent virtues and dis tinguished character of the first gov ernor of Mriue could not have been pre-id on the records of the senate and he evidences of that character aud the estimate in which he was held by ali ho knew him, gathered as well from tbe records of Massachusetts as from those < f Maine, presented heir without alt*iiip'irg to rake up the embers of already expired aud buried political an imosity, that Ma» sichusetts, as well as Maine, regrets, and that Massachusetts has dune quite as much as Maine to Illiterate. I would not abate one jot of all that has been Raid by the senators Irorn Maiue iu respect to the distin guished first governor of that state, unce a ciizn of my own state; but I regrot to day there canuot be found iu Maine any one who cann *t read the istory of the times in which he per formed so prominent a part, except through the prejudices and bil'erncss and li j ujiice ol the party animus er luat disunguisl ed those days, ut have long since passed away Without desiring to mar the beauty aud chaiac er of sucu au occasion, 1 feel it my duty to protest in the name cf Ma p - h WING ON DECK.

I have tot myself been classed exact.y in that line, End I do not think that I am the one whe would step very lar forward to create sm lea ou their fai r*. Maine di i not make an unpa ir? ,?> n.f.ord, !i MaawJ.neetta made it, it is not the fault of the historian or the speaker who recalls it. Mr. Dawes—Will the senator tell ns when Massachusetts, as a state, ever made an unpatriotic record, either in t iie war of 1812 or in the older war of the revolution, or in any other war w hich may have followed ? There have b ren individuals in Massachusetts - so there have been iu Maine—who have not been patriots; but if Massa- luis?tts ever made an unpatriotic kc^rd, the senator from Maine, when he charges it, should tell us wheu and where. Mr. Blaine—I will tell you—I will tell you, now and here Massachusetts r. fused to pass and tabled a resolution thanking one of her own naval officer* a victory because it was gained in an unjust war. She refused to thank the admirable and gallant commander of the Hornet for capturing the British man-of-war Peacock. That stands in our own legislative j mri.als. If you want the record, I can give you more, graver intUures uulil the 6UUftets, and for a senator from Massachusetts to rise hern and pretend that his stale did not brittle all over with unj>atriotic re- orris, going clear up to the verge of treason, and iu the opinion of some patriots ot ihat day, stepping one point beyond, it is a degree of bravery which it would have been well to have shown in war, and not resened to this day. (Great laughter, and a voice on the deniocialic side. “This <s rich.”) Mr. Dawes—Mr. President, the extent of the offence which the senator from Maiue can bring against Massachusetts in the war of 1812, was that she lacked a disposition to publicly return thanks Mr. Blaine - No; stop right there one moment. Massachusetts refused to let her soldiers march beyond the bound aries of her own state, and refused pointedly to the general government to to resjHtud to a c*ril for her troops. Mr. Dawes defended the stale, and said: Massachusetts was opposed to (he war of 1812 Her position then she is not attained if, and she does not undertake to belie history; but, sir, with exteplions here and there, like fcvery other state in this union, under like circumataices, she was true to the imion, and her gallant soldiers and sat* iors laid dow n their lives in her defense. Sir, it was not the war i f 1S12 that troubled the senator from Maine, iu de livering his eulogy upon William Kicg That was not it. There was another trouble, and it was atroub e which the senator from Maine ought to have f *r gotten. It w as the feeling between the distinguished men in Maine and tbe distinguished men in Ma aachusetts, growing out of a discussion f *r years o . i he question cf separation, that bred til-nature and injustice, and intemper ate ei*e*ch, and it was the last thing that Ma.i-aehufcetis expecied when tbe senatoi s from Maine were to present the statue of her first goveinor, who when part of M issachuaeita, was honored and esteemed quite os much by her pjopie aa by those of Maine. Jt was tlie last thing that Massachusetts xpeeled on such nn occasion that the burden «i %he presentation on the pari of (be senator from Maine (Mr. B!ainej should be a raking up of all that in temperate speech, aud quite as much will Massachusetts be surprised as Maine will be surprised that he at tempts to justify it by holding up the couise of M> ssachusetts in the last war with Great Britaiu.” Mr. B aine difcus3ed the relations between Maine and Massachusetts re gaiding the European and North American railway, and then referred to ti e Ashburton treaty cf 1873, say ing Maiue was the victim of that trea ty. He continued: "1 sty to the sen ator from Massac'ausetts -aa I say to the whole country—that if the Ash burton treaty were to be tried over again, it would never go through tta senate of the United States. Navei! It would never be assen'ed to by the state ol Maine, except under a com pulsion that was moral at that time, which would have to be physical if tried again. Sj that we owe to Mass achusetts at that day a loss of territory *pd a reduction ot our prestige and power, which nothing ever since has made up to us in auy torm except that most geueroiis conditional gift _ of our almost hopeless claim—a Maine railroad-it we could tag it through congress. [Liughier.] Mr Hoar—Mr. President, the sena tor from Maine saw tit to allude to tne as a person prepared to do every possi ble thing, to use his phrase, "to brirg about conciliation between the tw sec.ions of this country that have here tofore been iu c<*nU c .” The senator does me groat injus ice. There area great many things I never iiave pro posed to do, even for that most desira ble consummation. I never have pro*- posed anywhere to abandon or forego the exercise of a sing'e constitutional authority for the protection of any mail’s rightb under the constitution of this country. . , It is true ihat if after eight years of the a'lwmietratiou • i President Grant, durii g most of which our party had a two-thirds m j »rity in each branch of congress afte? the ku-klux legislation, mteuded to protect the homesteads of the free, h d made its way through the liouse of representatives against the plottings from the speaker’s chair. Mr. Blam i — What date does the sen ator refer to 7 ... Mr. Hoar—I refer to the ku-klux lrg b ation of the year 1871, wheu the senator held us against a dozen resolu tions ,of adj mrnmeut, and finally a message from President Grant, com >elled the passage ol the ku-klux legis aiion. . Mr. B aine-1 have no very distinct recollection, except that the eenator from Massachusetts, then a representa tive in the house, kept in very close and confidential intercourse with tne every step of tue whole proceedings in regard to it. I remember Mr. lloar-Not in any step of that kind, and my votes and speeches show the position that I took. I have noi thought it expedient, when all the states but one have passed from the control of the republican party, tocon- nue mere empty menace in the in res’, of any personal amb.tion or can didacies for high office. Mr. President , tnere h another p> sable thing which 1 should not be ready to do to accomplish any political end, however desirable, and that is to have mode such a speech, appealir g to the bentiments, and to such p*s?ion as the senator from Maine took occasion to make upon this flx*r in presenting the statue of its honored lie knew that the applaue* and tmileb aad at quiesce?-ce which he was to obtain from his attack on Massa chu.-:ette, he was to get from men wh» din tike her, not inconsequence of any want of patriotism in the war o: J812, but in consequence ol her recent loyalty and her service to the freedom ol the human race on one side aud an honest and pure administration of this govern ment on the o her. Now, for the sake of bringing about any political consum- m&tion.I fcuould not feel prepared to do a thing like that. day, notwithstanding the eenator had told me that he would make allusion to Massachusetts. The resol utio.i offered by Mr. Ilam- liu, accepting the statue, was then agreed to, and the sena'e went into ex ecutive session, and when the doors were re-opened, adjourned. THE RAG OF MOHAMMED.

He sought the records oi Massachusetts most diligently to find what there was possible in the treat ment of Maine, or of the diatinguished p-ifon in question, to justify auy allu h;on to Mass chueetta otherwise than in the feeiing which Massachusetts attributed to her daughter, and there- £ jre it w*a that I expressed moat sur- . prise a'the time, at the temper and \ teas of Paris.

Berlin, January 23.—The s, mi-offl cial Provincial Correspondence, in its Laue this evening, says it perceives, in the earnest and successful negotiations for au armistice, the probability of a speedy conclusion of peace. The arti cle adds: “ C unplete peace will not be settled bv the two belligerents alone, nnd the solution of the questions which have tc be taken into consideration cannot, to a certain extent, be effected without a previous understanding of the Eurojieau powers and their co operation. But the relations hitherto subsisting between the powers appear to afford good grounds for trusliug that THIS DECISIVE MOMENT i eastern complications success will attend tbe eff -rts made to bring about a solution, while fully protecting the interests rf geueral peace.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION*. The rejtor'a of the Rushan advance •eyond Adri Anople are beginning to attract attention, but tbe wild state ments from Constantinople do not com mand much credit. It was thought that at most only a few Russian cavalry can have beeu seen in tlie direction of Gailipolis. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS yesterday, Mr. Robert Bwrite, under secretary for the foreign department in eplv to a question slid, the foreign (lice lias received t.o authentic inf >re in at ion that a strong Russian force was inarching on Gallipoli, but bad receiv ed reports concerning the truth of which it had no means of judging that he Russian troeps were advancing io that direction. *lhe reports were un doubtedly f 'rwarded by Mr. Lay ard, British ambassador at Constant nople A CURRENT BUM R, and therefore have the same basis as ihesp'-ctai despatch of the Telegraph md .S.andanl reporting tbe state of hi fairs. A panic in Constantinople, cou- M*quent on the evacuation of Aurian- «pe and the arrivi of thousandsof re fugees would be sufficient to account for tbe circulation of such rumors.

The Tunes Berlin correspondent sayi that according to the latest ru mors the Turkish peace delegate-*, it is expected, will refer the less acceptable p duts of the Russian conditions to Constantinople. In this case the Kits- H<ans will advance. Austria seems con fidentially info: mod of the Russian de termination to advance in tne direction of Conatautinr p‘e if their terms of perce are not numediu'.ely accepted. Austria haa waived her objection to Russian occupation ol Constantinople. Sbou d the Russian intention be carried out, it ift BUDpcHed that Russian peace negotiations will subsequently demand the conversion cf Constantinople into a sort of NEUTRAL COMMONWEALTH. It is not to be forgotten that th h cor respondent’s du patches have lately been oi a sensational character. He also savs in an earlier telegram that ttare isreasm to aw-unae that the porte will communicate the Russian condi tions to European powers threatening to accept anythirg if left without sup port. The Times* correspondent at Vienna telrgraphs that advices from Constantinople show that A GENERAL PANIC prevailed there aud the excitement is hourly increasing. It is believed that the guaranteeing powers would send ships to protect their subjects.
