Since the days of Jackson, we have had no administra tion which has excited so large a measure of foreign respect, not only hy the promptitude with which a national insult has been punished, and the national honor vindicated, but individ ual wrongs or injuries abroad redressed. It is this which protects nations from the necessity of resorting to war, as impunity, in these re spects, leads necessarily to repetition, and to hostilities finally. The readiness of the admin istration either to punish for insult aud wrong, or to treat, on terms of conciliation and peace, for the adjustment of all foreign differences and disputes, constitutes the highest claim to na tional confidence and support."

Sir Francis aim his ccond son Alexander, as well as the honorable J,it.f Qf the Amsterdam honse, Mr Henry Hope, iom I have already named. The last of these, Wn I first made his acquaintance, liad reached seventieth year, and was somewhat deaf. ric naa never-been married, it was tie woo ;reueu ine . vvav lor me auiocraiiu puw crui foundation of Russiali credit. Always treated by the Empress with great distinction, lie had been honored with the gift from her own hand, of her portrait, the full size of life. This pic ture occupied the place of honor in the superb gallery of paintings fitted up by him in his palace "t' lluys ten . Bosch," (now a, royal pleasure palace,) which he had built in the woods of Harlem. Upon his emigration to England, he had taken this Splendid gallery, entirely com posed of cabinet pieces, with him, and I had the pleasure of seeing it frequently at his residence in Cavendish square. To the tone of a. refined gentleman and man of the world he united a i certain affability which spoke to and won every heart. The whole-souled cordiality with which he always met me when I came to his dwelling in the city, or to his country seat, Eastsheeu, in the neighborhood of Richmond, has always re mained fresh in my memory. Yet a secret trouble seemed to be weighing on his mind. This anno3rance arose from the notorious rela tions of his niece, Mad. Williams Hope, with a Dutch oflicer of dragoon; by the name of Dopff. I had attracted his confidence, and he one day scized me suddenly by the hand, led me to the window, and could not restrain his tears as he told me he must close the door of his house against her if she ventured to bring this man with her to England. The larger part of his considerable fortune, which he had bequeathed to Henry, the eldest son of this niece, and who died unmarried, passed, at the decease of the latter, to Adrian, the second son, who left no male heirs, but from whom it descended to Francis, the third son, born several years after wards. This third inheritor is the rich and well-known Mr Hope, now settled in Paris, and the only surviving member of that branch of the whole family. A close examination ii.to the origin of the Baring family traces it back to a certain Peter Baring, who lived in the years from 1 (300 to ltJTO, at G roningen, in the Dutch province of Overyssel. One of his ancestors, under the name of Fraucis Baring, was pastor of the Lutheran church at Bremen, and in that caiit.- ,-!tj'vrst3 called to London, where, unions'- atli?r rue uau a son nanieu jonn. i ne latter, we acquainted with cloth-making, settled at Eark beer, in Devonshire, and there put up an estab lishment for the manufacture of that article. He had five children four sons, John, Thomas, Francis, Charles, and a daughter, called Eliza beth. Two of the sons, John and Francis, es tablished themselves under the firm of John and Francis Baring, at London, originally with a view of facilitating their father's trade indis posing of his goods, and so as to be in a posi tion to import the raw material to be required, such as wood, dye-stuffs, &c. themselves direct ly from abroad. Thus was established the house which after the withdrawal of the elder brother John, who retired to Exeter gradually, under the tirm-name of Francis Baring & Co., and, eventually, under the firm-name of Baring, Brothers & Co., rose to the highest rank of mercantile eminence in the commerce of the world. Sir Francis, who, under the Ministry" of the Count Shelburn, father of the present Marquis of Landsowne, had become his intimate friend and adviser in financial matters, having, in the year 1793, received the title of Baronet, was already styled by the latter the Prince of Mer chants. He had become somewhat feeble, and very deaf, when I first got personally acquaint ed with him. On the occasion of one of my visits to him, he told me that he had kept at his business for thirty years before he considered himself en titled to keep an equipage. Upon another T 1 . 1 - r - occasion, when I spoKe to mm oi my project in establishing mvself in New-Orleans, after the termination of my mission, . he remarked, "Usually, my young friend, that commission business is the best in which the commissions take this direction" here he made a motion with his hands as if throwing something to wards him "but where the business goes thus!" motioning as if he was throwing something from him. This amounted to saying, in other words, that receiving consignments was a better business than executing commissions. Three of his sons, Thomas, Alexander and Henry, en tered the London establishment; but the first, who was intended to have carried on the father's name, after the death of the latter on the 12th of September, 1810, assumed the name of Sir Thomas, and withdrew from the house, as the third also found occasion to do at a later period. The latter was passionately fond of play, and indulged in it with so much success that he several times broke "Entreprise Geuerale des Jeux," of Paris. But the sight of one of the heads of such a house, one night after another, in the great gambling establishments, produced a bad effect; and even if it did not impair his credit, it in no slight degree damaged his re spectabilitj'. This was felt at headquarters, and an understanding was conic to for his with drawal from the firm. Alexander Baring, the second son of Sir Francis, had received a portion of his education in Hanau, had then completed it in England, and commenced his mercantile career in the house of Messrs Hope, where a friendship sprung up between hiin aud Mr P. C. Laboucbcre, which led to the latter's marriage, at a later period, with his sister, Maria- Baring. AV hen the Messrs Hope retired to England, in conse quence of the occupation of Holland by the revolutionary French army, under Piehegru, and after Alexander Baring left the house, he determined to visit the United States of North America. At his departure his father confined his advice to two especial recommendations, one of which was to pnrchase no uncultivated land, and the other not to marry a wife there : "Be- cause," caJrt hp "nnenltivatea lanus can rje more readily bought than sold again ; and a wife is best suited to the home in which she was raised, and cannot be formed or traiued a second time. However, Alexander had not passed one year in the United States before he forgot both branches of his father's advice. Not only did he purchase huge tracts of land in the western part of the State of Pennsylvania, and lay out a not inconsiderable capital 0(t. 000 at least) in the then district and uow State of Maine, and that, too, under the annexed condition of bringing a number of settlers thither within a certain term of years, but also, in 1TU8, when just twenty-four years of age, he married Anna, the eldest daughter of" Mr AVilliam Biugham, in Philadelphia, who was at that time considered the richest man in the United Mates, and was then a ,ueinber of- theenate The inheritance lie death 6f liter fsthJ She bore him nine e still living. The eldest of these, called-AVilliam Bingham, after his grandfather, is the present Lord Ashburton, and has reached the age of fifty-three. His wife is a Lady Sandwich, and their marriage has remained childless. After his death, his title, along with the greater part ot his tortune, will pass to the second kou, j Francis, who is married to a daughter of the i Duke Bassano, a former S ate Secretary of Napoleon. This gentlemen usually resides at Paris, and is the eldest head of the London house, in the management of whose business, however, he seldom lakes any active part. He has two sons. The favorite, from the first, of his father and mother, both title and fortune will pass entirely, according to their wishes into the hands of him who, in their eyes, deserved the preference. Sir Erancis Baring Anecdote. Just at this very time, 1 820, the present head of the Barings' house, Mr Francis Baring, second son of the deceased Lord Ashburton, had arrived in New Orleans from Havana, and taken his quarters with me in my newly-built residence. AVe had nine large vessels receiving cargo at that moment, and he was evidently gratified when he took his first walk along the so-called Levee the qua' on the left bank of the Mississippi, in front of the town, where vessels load and unload their freight- and saw it strewn, from the upper to the lower suburb, with cottou bales, on which were stamped the marks of my firm. Nothing could have given him a better idea of our activity, and he seem ed to be pleased that he could take back to Europe with him a proof of it, like this one, from his own experience. Since there can be but little that relates to this establishment, which occupies and has oc cupied so lofty a position, that is devoid of all interest to the mercantile reader, I may venture to say a few words concerning Mr Baring, who was tjuite a young man when he visited New Orleans. I do so with the greater reason, that he yields a proof the more of the fact, how rarely the combination of qualities belonging to a distinguished" father descends to his sons. Bountiful nature had endowed this man, des tined at so earl' a period of life to become the head and manager of the Loudon house, with so lavish a hand, that it might almost be termed spendthrift profusion, in summing up the list of capacities and talents he possessed. To his mental wealth belonged most unusual intellec tual superiority, rare keenness of perception, and an almost instinctive penetration of the opposite and diverse characters with which he was broujCnt in contact ; to these was added a remarkable memory, which did not lose the minutest circumstance; an iron strength of will, whenever he made up his mind to perform any act; a perseverance in carrying out his enter prises, notwithstanding every obstacle; aud, finally, the facility of expressing his idea and convictions in a few words, and the knack of conveying the whole force and point of a close analysis, or criticism, into a happily selected phrase or two, which might be called "hitting the nail on the head." This latter talent, which is by no means an indispensable one, in the list of perfections desirable for a man of talent, nevertheless has its value in dialectic debates, uarticularly on the parliamentary floor, where young Baring hoped to stand before any great length of time, and in all instances of common life where brief and rapid explanations are de sirable. An example will suffice to illustrate this remark. l oung Baring was traveling through the western part ot irgima, which was at that time peopled by the roughest class of Americans, and the vehicle he used was a vcrv handsome and newly-varnished travelling carriage. Jn accordance with the favorite custom of these wild fellows, who usually carried a penknife or a nail in their pockets, one of the idlers who stood and leaned about the door of the tavern where he had alighted for refreshment, amused himself by scratching, with a nail, all sorts of ridiculous figures on the varnish of the carriage doors. Baring, who came out of the inn and caught our friend engaged in this agreeable and polite occupation, the instant he saw what was going on, very sharply expressed his disapproba tion. The loiterer responded, "Look here, sir, don't be saucy ; we make no ceremony. T'other day we had a European fellow here, like your self, who was mighty saucy, so 1 pulled out my pistol and shot him dead, right on the spot. There he lies!" Baring rejoined in the coolest manner imaginable, by asking, "And did you scalp him, too?" The American was so struck with this, and felt this reproach upon his savage rudeness so keenly, that, after gazing at Baring suddenly and earnestly for a moment in silence, he exclaimed, "Bv God! sir, you must be a clever fellow! let's shake hands!" Jt would not have been easy to privejsharperjessoii. Fatal Accident to the Kino of Saxo.vy -The mournful intelligence of the death of this distinguished and popular monarch is communis catedin a telegraphic message from Munich, under recent date. His Majesty's demise appears to have been the result of an unfor tunate accident while traveling from Munich to his own capital of Dresden. The carriage in which the King rode was, by some mismanage ment overturned, and His Majesty falling among the horses, received from one of them a kick, which terminated fatally almost imme diately afterwards. Found at Sea. An open boat containing-four human skeletons, was picked up at sea by the ship Hinder, which arrived at Baltimore, a few days ago, from Bremen.

It is our ro fid duly to record the death of Dr. E Brown, who in a lit of mental alienation an end to his life on AVcdnesday morning last, by springing from the second story of hi.s father's house to the pavemeut. He has been m a melancholy mood lor more than a mouth, but never became utterly deranged until a few days ago, when reason give way. His friends endeavored to take him to the Lunatic Asluni in Columbia, on Tuesday morning, but ho ning, having discovered it, became furious and de termined not to go; but at last he yielded, pro vided tnat tliey would give lnm a loaded pistol. Fears were entertained that if he'was provided with a pistol he would either kill himself or some one else, but they gave him one with a paper wad in it, and started to Columbia. Af ter going a few miles, he'stopped and got out of the carriage, stepped a short distance from the road, unscrewed the barrel from the breech and discovered that they had deceived him; whereupon he became frantic, and they, thinking it would be dangerous to force hini on, brought him babk to his f'ariicr's, where he took the fatal leap. II is head struck the ground first ; the force fracturing the skull frightfully, and he expired about two hours after. "Truly, in the midst of life we are in death." Salisbury Banner, Atr. 25. In Russia it was once a custom to refuse burial until the deceased's debts were paid. The Marquis dc Cnstine, in his late work on Russia, illustrates it as follows: "This morning we passed Revel. The sight of that place, which has not long bceu Russian territory, recalled to our memories the proud name of Charles XII, and the battle of Narva. In this battle was killed a Frenchman, the Prince de Croi, who fought under the King of Sweden. His body was carried to Revel, where he could not be buried, because during the campaign he had contracted debts in the province, and had left nothing to pay them. According to an ancient custom of the land, his body was placed in the church of Revel until his heirs should satisfy his creditors. The corpse is still in the same church where it was laid more than one hundred years ago. The amount of the original debt has become so greatly augmented by the interest, and by tho daily charge made for the keeping of the corpse, that there are few fortunes which would now suffice to acquit it. "Jn passing through Revel about twenty years since, the Emperor Alexander visited tho church, and was so shocked with the hideous spectacle presented by the corpse, that he com manded its immediate interment. On the mor row, the Emperor departed, and the body of the Prince de Croi was duly carried to the cemetery. The day after, it was brought back to the church, and placed in its former position. If there is not justice in Russia, there are, it would appear customs made more powerful even than the sovereign will." Inquest. Coroner J. C. AVood held nn in quest on the 25th ult., at Dead Alan's Point, about two miles below town, over the body of Zachariah Kennedy, a native and 'resident of Onslow County, who was drowned in the Cape Fear River on Wednesday last, having been knocked over board from the Sehr. Livinia, by the boom or sail. The Schooner having no boat it was found impossible to save him. The Schooner was new, nnd coming from New River, Onslow Co., for the purpose of getting her boat and being otherwise finished. Verdict in accordance with the above facts. Wilming ton Journal. r puW
