The attempt was understood to he more in sym
pathy with arfinsurgent party in Ireland, and by
striking at a British province on this continent it
was designed to aid m obtaining redress for po
litical grievatf&cs whicli it was assumed the people
of Ireland had Buffered at the hands of the British
Government during a period of several centuries.
The person's engaged in it were chiefly natives ot
that country. S.me of them had, while oth

State", under our general laws of naturalization.
Cfotnplaints o'Pmisgovemrnent in Ireland continu

and sofreat an agitation is now prevailing in
Ireland that the British Government hafe deemed
it necessary to suspend the writ otmnbea corpus
in that country. These circumstances must
necessarily modify the opinions which might
otherwise have been entertained in regard to an
exrvdition expressly prohibited by our neutrality

A Voyage in 1815 Crossing of the Atlantic
by a Sail Eoat.
The Courier den Etutn copies from V Eccnemcnt
an interesting account ofthe voyage of a French
boat across the Atlantic in ISlo, which was pub
lished in Paris a few weeks ago by Mary Gaston,
a well known writer for Parisian journals. The
facts seem to be well substantiated, ami, if true,
take from the little Jied, White ami Blue tho
credit0 of being- the Jirsi sail-boat to cross tho
ocean. Marie Gaston says in Jaibsta'nce that in
1S15, vvhen the Great Napoleon went to the Isle
of Aix, with the view of surrendering himself to
tnc English, an old naval Lieutenant, named5!
Yildieu, proposed to the Emperor t carry him to
America out of the very teeth of the English
cruisers. This Vildieu.was a rabid Eonapartist,
as well as a good seaman, having made a special
ty of sailing small boats to the open sea1. Ho
insisted that he was willing to go to the end of
the world with t(hc Jirtve Ouilluiu-, the name of a
little craft which he placed at the disposal of his
Emperor.
Napoleon listened for a long time to his argu
ments without speaking a word, but pacing up
and down the apartment ; at length he. stopped
and contemplated the ocean for somo minutes,
then he dropped his head upon his bieast and
that was all. He had no confidence in Vildieu's
project. The ocean is treacherous 1 Better trust
to the English !
Some mouths afterwards Yildieu, who had tak
en the Emperor's refusal much to heart, and
wishing to prove to Napoleon's friends that tho
project of a flight to America was not impracti
cable upon this same little craft, set sail iu her
from La ltochclle, with two other persons, of
whom the youngest was his own sou.
The passage was long and rough. The Urine
Citilloux, carefully prepared for the trial, had on
board several kegs of fresh water, some biscuit
and pemmican. As for fresh meat, they could
nut think of it ; and a hen-coop would have filled
up the liliputian hold. Up to the last day the
distribution of provisions and water was regula
ted with the greatest prudence, and it was to that
fact solely that tho crew owed their safety. How
ever, this saline legimen grew at last to be some
what, unpalatable. " Mouths became dry and suf
fered from thirst ; but thirsty or not, two rations
of water per day were solved out and no more.
One day, when tlie sea was calm, something
round was seen floating near the boat. It proved
to be an apple a good sound apple in the open
ocean. It had doubtless fallen from some nassino-
vessel. It was presented to the captain, as his
right ; but he being a good prince shared it with
taeQother.s ; and there was great joy that day on
board Urine Cailoit.r. The passage had its pleas
ant moments, as we have seen ; but it had also
its hours of anxious suspense aud sutfering ; gales
3of wind, nights without sleep, and long stormy
days. At times when tha sea ran too high trust
in God! The helm was lashed, tlie sails furled,
and the crew, crawling beneath the deck, let the
tempest blow itself out. Vvhen the storjn was
over, our navigators got on deck again, and pur
sued their voyage again to the westward.
At length, after six weeks, the coast of Ameri
ca was descried. And it was time. ome hours
later the Brine CiiU,:tu.r, entered port, and as the
roadstead was too deep for her Jittle anchor, she
made fast alongside a large frigate which was an
chored there. The oCaeer of the deck looked down
upon them with astonishment. "Where are you
from ?" Our three heroes lifted up their hats and
replied, "From France." He could scarcely be
lieve them.
This narration was made to M. Marie Gaston
by M. ElienneYildieu, the son of the old Lieu
tenant above named, lie was a boy who made

A Montana Silver Lode. We find in the
Montana Post of the 10th ult., the following ac
count of the yield of a silver lode in that Territo
ry, together -with a notice of tho process by which
it is being worked: e
It affords us intense satisfaction to announce
the complete success ofthe first trial of the cupel
furnace of Professor Augustus Steitr, who has re-
"ul,J erceieu nis worKs in the Kattlesuako Dis-(J)
trict. i ho re 'has yielded eighty per cent, of
lead, and upon the 1th instaut one ton was placed
in tho furnace and subjected to the heat for fho
space of six hours. The lead was Expelled and
fifty pounds of pure silver remained, liut this
important fact is overshadowed by another of a
more satisfactory cnaracter. Any person miirht
secure a brick from such rich nro.ebut fp wl iTifn
could run so close to the assay, and, wonderful as
it may appear,, the loss in silver is between i and
V of one per cent. We congratulate the company
that own these works upon their good fortune) in
possessing this claim upon the Legal Tender Lode.
We also share with Professor Steitz the emotions
of joy which must animate him at the present
time. lie has gained a practical and scientific
triumph, and we advise certain parties) whb wish
to learn he proper manner 'in which to extract
the precious metals from gangue, to throw a?ide
their aburd theories and take a few lesson from

Late Dispatches. The following dispatches
are dated New York, November lfJth :
lhe J t s special dispatch says that the facts!
divulged to-day show there is but little hope lha
the President will recommend impartial suffrage
iu his Message to Congress, lie will stand with
the Secretary of the Treasury on the linancial
question. u
The Commercial says it is confidently expected
that a reconstruction policy will be amicably set
tled early in the approaching session of Congress.
3Ncgotiations for that purpose are in progress be
tween the President and leading politicians of all
parties North and South. The basis of settlement
is universal suffrage and general amnesty. The
President has partially acceeded to the proposi
tion, but insists, upon constitutional gtounds,
that the question of universal suffrage properly be
longs to the respective fctates, and is, so far,
averse to any action of Congress upon the sub
ject. If assurance can bo obtained from Southern
leaders of the speedy adoption of universal suf-
frnge, the President will waive his objections.
The pigOpotcd basis contemplates an abandonment
ofthe Constitutional Amendmeijt as a condition
to Southcrji representation in Congress.
Letter from (Ieneual Sweeny". General
Sweeny has addressed tho following letter to our
consul in Canada.
1). Thurston, United States Consul at Toronto
(Canada Yvrest) Sir: Although I am no lgnger
connected with the Fenian organization, I consider
it a matter of justice to inform you that thg prisoner
who is styled Colonel Lynch, who has been tried,
convicted and sentenced to be hanged on the l:)th
of December next, held no position in the Teniau
army, was not a commissioned officer and was not
present in any military capacity whatever. It is
likely that the Canadian authorities confounded
the prisoner with L'rigadier General Lynch, of
Illinois, who was ordered by me to superintend
the carrying out of the expedition against Fort
Erie. Lynch may have been present as a news
paper reporter, or a mero straggler, for aught I
know, but I am very certain that he had no con
nection whatever with the Fenian army
Yours, respectfully. T. W. SWEENY,
Late Commander-in-Chief of the Fenian Army.

says :
In our last week's issue we mentioned some

particulars, which are as follows:. On the 24th of

25 men of Company A, First U. S. Cavalry, left
Camp Didwell in search of the Indians who killed
Mr. Townsend sometime ince. A party of eigh

On the 2Gth of October Lieut. Small's party came
upon the Indians among the hills above Goose

Paris Newspapers.- The Tribune cflrrs
pondent writing from Paris, GaUber. 19th, reviews
tho ebaf actor and cenditieu of th& Frlnch prels
as follows :
Th(re are publishetl in Patis fgurteen daily
polititjal newspapers, withut counting the official
Motnitiy JfOitiieur audits ieeminjly insiguificant,
seven by nine, ony sous dwarf uf a brother, Le
Jlonitf-.nr du i'o4V(vith au "enewuraged" circula
tion of mOro than fl,000), arid lin glish (iali-jnani.
On the literary iuG they are4 to1 j-ay the least of
it, quite up to the Mamlard ot the best metropolitan
newspaper writing in London yr'New York. At- "
tached to thcui, in the editorial way, tire men of
the finest natural parts anil highest culture, men
of sincer&onviftiens and sound judgment and
generous purpose. And yet, setting aside their
literary quality aud setting aside their occasional
value shown in articles semi-abstract from the (
directly urgent uestians of the day, the fourteen
daily political journals of Pari contribute next to
nothing to the morning reader's Stock of knowl
edge of fact I mean, don't eumulate his stock
(what one of fourteen givo. in that way is mainly
what all tlie rest repeat) -and outside ofthe safe
and necessary consequence in specially interesting
cases, communplace reflection don't dare furnish
him with food fur thinking tivcr his second break
fast. The ability with which an editor of one of
these compressed journals will write an article
seeming to say nothing that is not permissible and
yet saying .great doal that to readers practiced
in reading between tbe lines," conveys allusively
myst of what he would like to say, is truly
wonderful j aud as work cf pen-art, admirable.
In fact, the bust ofc what is best in the "leaders'
of Paris political dailies, is presented in this dis
guisod way. Fourteen years of weary, painful
rending of Paris political dailies under, the law
of the press of 1S52 'will?' I'trusf , justify me to
your reaJc:ra as an honest and competent witness to
tbe general truth of this proposition iu regard to the
French political press. It is degraded to a dead,
pitiful, restricted, sham, falsi, uniformity of dull
ness by virtue "of the Napoleonic law on tbe press.
Tbe working of this law on the non-political
journule., I rt;erve perforce as theme of a para
graph Or two in a future letter.
