Th . Governme.it knew that these 'instructions were t come from France, and had been so informed sp c:ficallv some time since. The remonstrance is i terms that Opt. Ingraham's conduct was a violatio of the law of nations. Mr. Marcy has bad liis reply ready for some tira . but it has to undergo some modifications.

Lead Mines, and we hear ot several companies that have been formedj with large capital, as reported. ' To insure confidence in mining enterprises, it is absolutely necessary that all parties concerned should be well kuown as men of probity, and that all reports from the mines, whether gooel or bad, sneiuld be cl aracterized bv a strict adhereuc 10 truth. This last caution ean'tmt be too striet y re gnrded. not only because the ttudi is right and profitable- in all-cases, but bi-cause n euteipiises of s me ha.-:anl, iike that of ' mining, i exvienced men w ho risk their money on the jud,metK ot o h r.s, have a right to demand a I the acts that lay within the rauge of the ols -i vation of ttn se who report. them.

He was escorted from a solitary instance of such excessive increase, but the camp into the city bv a magnificent pageant. every consideration concurs in the belief that the increase has been general.

The channel through' New Orleans being closed, they have b rii compiled to come to j Charleston. A Ido ' to this, there is nlore money I in the country than there has ever been at any j time before, and the fact that through the extens io irof our ra Ir rids, a larger trat of country has become tributary to this road, that Charleston ha biei mo.e he ilthy thui any other city upon the Ath ntic toast, a id we have causes which together might have very nuura'ly prepared u for what has come to pass.
