with the requisite audacity-to save them
not, as they think, from themselves, but from

v More Rumors.
To day, tba ramara of French intervention
assume a niorj d??ided aspect. Wp are now
told of an engagement between tho French and
Yankees on the waters of thc Chesapeake; and
again, that ihc French have effectually sealed
up the port of Wilmington by b'oekade. W?
heir that tho Yankee troopj were particularly
caruest with ou?/" paroled ? troops to get their
pledges for the maintainaDce of the Monroe
doctrine. "Will you join with us ^p fight the
1 Tench!" was the constant question. Of coarse
wo 4riU, to fight the d-1, if you please; bat
that fight ov|? what becomes of the ?fighters!
A.mong theitems wo gather.by the way-side,
vc aijp advised of Cincinnati papers con fi rn-, in g
the report of Lincoln's death and Seward's
danger. We may venture to say that this
report has been almost certainly confirmed by
fae concurrent testimonie}. Tko contents of
L-Ssa Uiacinuuii papers are io the farther effect
{.cat the assassins made .their escape,and that,
a? a matter* ot course, there is much trembly

J?How THE NEWS OF PEACE WAS HE
?BITBD I? 1815. -Years ago the office of
?he old Gazette waa in Hanover square,
near, the corner of Pearl street. ?t was rt
place of resort for news and conversation,
especially in the evening. The evening of
February 15, 1815, wssxold, and at a late
hour only Alderman Sabra and another
gentleman were left with Father Lang, the
genius of the place. The office was about
being closed, when a jpifot rushed **in, and
stood for a moment so entirely exhausted as
to be unable to speak.
'He has great newsf' exclaimed Mr.
Lang.
Presently the pilot, gilpins: for breath,
whispered intelligibly-Peace! peace! .
The gentlemen lost their breath as fast
as the pilot gained his. Directly the pilot
was able to say:
... 'An English sloop is below with news of
a treaty of peace!'
They say that Mr. Lang~ exclaimed in
greater words than ever use?i before-and
all bands rushed into Hanover square, ex?
claiming-Peace! peace! .
The windows flew up-for families lived
there then. -No sooner were the inmates
sure.of thu sweet sound, of peace than the
windows began to glow with Brilliant illu?
minations. The cry of PEACE! PEACE!
spread through the city at the top of all
.voices. No one stopped to inquire about
Tree trade or sailors' rights.' No one in?
quired whether even the national honor had
been preserved. The matters hy which
the politicians bad irritated the nation-into
the war had lost all their importance.
It was enough that the ruinou'3war-was
over. An old man on Woadw&yv?ttracted
by the noise to his door, .vas seen'to pull
down a i>!ac ir? 'To Let,' which'had been
long polled up. Never was theft" stach a
j ty in the ?,ity. A fe-v evenings after
there was a general illumination, ?and al?
though, thc st.; w was foot deep aud soaked
'with rain, ) ? the streets were crowded
-with m^n acd women, eager io .'see; aad
partake of everyibing which bad in it tho '
?i?bt or taste of peace.
f|A gentleman was sacing ai the Tiltyard
Coffee-House, when it rained exceedingly
hard, tba4 it-put him in mind of the general
deluge. "Oof, air," -said an t>ld*ca/n
paigtter, ""who stoo l by, "I have beard of ali
clio generala in Europe but him.'*- <kVeiy
likely," said the oth?r; "bis commission
was dated at the time of Admiral Noah
Ensign llainbow succeeded bim."
A gentleman was called upon to apolo-^
giz.6 for words uttered in v?inefc "I beg
nar#&.,!' said he, "I did not'mean to aay
what i did: but I've bail the misfortune to
lose some cf my front teeth, end words get
out every now ?ind then without my know?
ledge."
A fellow in on oblivious state took up
his lodging on the sidewalk. He awoke
next morning, and straightening himself,
looked at tito ground on which he bad
i^ado his ooueb. "Well," be said, "if I
