I think it duob. inysoif to answer th*’ ln#Wiutci

l except Fruit “as an act of #)>ociiil grace to Mr.
Moses.” lam iu favor of the ordinance being

having them peddled through town, it would save

und I could hare emdi u supervision over my

ed wy fruit ui tho price I receive for it. As it Is,
1 have to depend upon tin l honesty of my salw'-
men to know that, they do not receive one price
and pay me another. If I reduce ilia price of
vegetables nr fruit, under the old system, in order
to increase the ((uanlityof -ales, I only gave my
ssk-Mißii a larger margin t<> steal, for they would
sell at the highest price they could get and pay
me the lowest price I would take.
To the Jsl enquiry. I onn only give my opinion,
mid that is, that fruit ought to be put on tho same
footing a* vegetables, Ac.
The poor people in the country who bring in
black-berries, straw berries, ote.. are daily be
coming more and more pleased with the ordinance.
1 know that tmjnn of thultt have so evpressed
themselves, mid say that already they begin to
find a place where they can dl without running
all over town. •
if I hod time, 1 could, I think, satisfy (loti.
Rctbune, that his rights arc not violated by the
ordinance, and that his interests arc advanced, or
would h if ho could meet tho ordinance in the
spirit that others do, and give it a fair trial. I

to send my cart to market, and if the Touneil will

Tho Ijfew York papers bring us extracts from
their Kuropcaii exchanges containing details of
the recent engagement between the allies and the
Austrians at aud arouud Montebello, This intel

result with thnt which has preceded it by tele
graph. It confirm* the report that the Austrian
force, which was at various time* enguged. num
bered from 161)00 to IHOOO strong, which on tho
side of the French ami Sardinian* there were on
ly Forty's division of about 8000 men and a reg
iment of tiiue hundred Sardiuiau horse. The
allies won the day after a desperate struggle of
six hours, taking an Austrian Colonel and *2OO
Croats, prisoners. At thu first onset the French
centre was so hotly besot with shells and bullets
from thu Austrians that it was obliged to fallback
upon tho right of their lines ; but meeting with
support from the command of (len. Heuret, it ral
lied and made an effective a*ault upon the Aus
trian columns—by which it again occupied Mon
(tabeilo. Much credit for the success is given to the
effect of iht now French gum, carrying tlfeir bul
lets with deadly precision more than two English
miles, llut we presume the gnat disparity of
numbers was compensated, chiefly, by the impe
tuosity of the French. For tho resistless fury of
their chauges they have ever beau distinguished ;
no soldiers, but the English, were able to with
stand them in the war* of tho first Xapoloon.-
The allies pushed their success (0 Casteggio about
a mile distant from Montebello, whither the Aus
trians retreated in some disorder. It is believed
that only the van guard of their forces was en
gaged on the above occasion and that, os the two
armies were almost in sight of each other, a gen

its limit* aud pretensions, consisting of only 21 j

on this, one of the most interesting subject# that !
can engage the attention of Southern men at the j

1 wonts, w hich, whether new or old, may be of in

Dr. llammoml takes tho position that some 1
stimulants are necessary for mankind. “The
spiritual and physical nature* of umu aro always

and how to ns© it, is tho great question. Tbe*itu

It i* not (infrequently tbo ease that mmi seek

which they seek to forestall and conciliate. That
there may bo artificial and abnormal conditions of

Austrian Merchant VcsmG
The British Secretary of State for foreign af
fairs has addressed a letter ( which we publish be
low) to tho Secretary of Lloyd's, explanatory of
the intentions of the French Government with
regard to the merchant vessel* of Austria. It
appears that henceforth all Austrian vessels sail

by French cruisers, with the exception of those
which were iu Freueh ports at the lime war was
declared and of those which tnuj cuter French
ports in ignorance of tho existence of hostile re
lations between France and Austria:

The first inquiry which Earl Cowley was in

such ports for their destination without being lia
ble to capture: the second, whether Austrian ves
sels which hare sailed for Austrian or for neuutrml
ports prior to the declaration of war will Ik* liable

Th Franch government have stated in replv
that m far as France if concerned it can be denbt
ed that Auntrian vessels would in the cane# speci
fied be subject to capture and condemnation in
virtue of the general principle of the law of na

according to which every chip belonging to an

war is a good pnze.
It is assumed that the question relate# to neu

vessel, in ignorance of war having brokou out,
should enter a French port, the would be pro

dated May 3, which grant* safe conduct not only
to the vessels of the enemy actually in French

Beerotary of war. and during the years 1845 and

Recent investigations in theuflairt of the Post
Office lead to the belief that that department of
the government loses one million of dollars a year
by the use of counterfeit and reWashed stamps. —
It is believed that there are two clause* oi persons
engaged in this nefarious business—one which
manufacture#, either from engraved or photo
graphed plates, and sell# new postage stamps;
and another that gathers th'*e which have been
usod from wa*te paper toilet lion#, and by means
of an acid wash** off the Pot Office stamp that
wa# put on them when they paused through the,
office.
Under the present pontsl system there is ne
mesas of guarding against the first named evil,
lor the saute manufacture of the portage stamp
i* to simple that one man can make bis plate and
produce thousand# of sheets without the aid of a
single person. To dispose of them he has only
to com© into collusion with some of the po*tms>-
ters or their clerks, of which there are more than
fifty thousand in all throughout tho country,
and the ronatnnt losses of money in pacing
through ibe mails duos not give a high standard
of honesty among them. All ol them are on trust
ed with the sale of stamps, and no check can be
kept upon theui, for there is no possibility oi as
certaining how many stamp* are in the band* of
the people. When ietteis are posted the clerks
have no time to scrutinise tb stamp oil them,
and they are rapidly defaced with a black stamp.
A * the letters with the defaced ttainp* on them
{•as* again into the baud* of the people, tho dc
pnrtrucnt can form no positive idea to wbat ex
tent the frauduteut .-tamp* are used.
The same difficulty <>t detection attends the
ruwashod stamps, but they are supposed to lie
used to a leas extent than the counterfeits, on ac
count of the greater facilities for selling the lat
ter. Efforts have been made, both iu this country
nod in England, where the sumo difficulty is en
countered. to obtain au indelible ink for the pur
pose of defacing the used stamps, but without
Hiiccesa, and the inefficiency of our police system
for preventing the operation* of counterfeiters,
leaves the manufacturer of surreptitious postugo
Htainps to labor with impunity.
It is the opinion of person* weH versed in the

The Cabinet met at an early hour, and continu

ber of imporiaut matters, which have recently
arisen, that will require careful consideration,
probably the most prominent among them being
that of neutral rights. The evasive and unsatis
factory reply of Lord Malmesbury upon this sub
ject brings the question at once prominently be
fore our government.
Tho War Department have received official con

There is proverbially no accounting for theer
ralic course of Mexican politics. Everything is
possible in Mexico, except order and peace.— The
recall of General Santa Anna to the scene of hi*
many glorious deluat*, takes nobody by surprise.
Don Antonio Lopez Santa Anua. who has hadibe
Presidency offered to Lima dozen times, and kick
ed out of the country just as often, has been res
tored to hi* lauds and titles, and was not only
granted the privilege to return to Mexico, but, it
ia said, invited to take posscßtton, one© more, on
the Presidential chair— and by whom. By thu
Mexican people ‘ ib u, they have no say in
such matters. Miramon. the youthful hero of
ever so many battle# that never came off, thu Mex
ican Napaieoti, in whom, but a few weeks ago,
rested the hope* of a distracted country, whose
genius, it was expected, would bring order into
chon*, Miramon, now a bopeies# politicial bank
rupt, call# to his aid old bankrupt 2*anta Anna.— ‘
Should the latter accept thu doubtful honor the
result can only bo confusion worse confounded,
which is about all, that can be said, on that point.
While the Miramon party, encouraged by tho
British and French Myo-ior*. look to Europe for
aid and comfort, the Juerea, or Liberal party,
place their hopes upon thi# country. Both are
at this moment in a *tate of utter exhaustiou, and
a temporary soapension of hostiUttiee ha* enoned
in consequence. But no sooner will they hare
gained .strength than the old game will be coun
ted. It is, by this time established beyond con
tradiction that uuless foreign intervention in th©
affair* of unfortunate Mexico takes place, civili
zation aud tho cause ol’ humanity are ho|oleNiy
lost there. The question only i# who 1* to inter
fere ? Shall we do our duty a# neighbors, or al
low Europe to regulate matter* as suits her best ‘
The present war absorbing th©strength of F ranee,
and engaging the whole attention of England,
affords an opportunity practically to establish the
Monroe doctrine, such as mav not recur fora cen
