«7 RIOTINC. A large crowd of people from the country was collected around the Court House square, outside the iron fence, far several hours before, and until after the execution, during the day—yesterday. At 2 o'clock the bells of the court house and churches were tolled to announce the hour of execution. When the toll of the bells was heard, these masses of men, women and children set up most hideous yells and howls, mingled with bitterest curses and vulgar profanity. The impression seemed to prevail among the crowd that Rice and Driskill were not to be hung—the Governor having commuted their sentence to imprisonment for life. An effort was made by the crowd to tear down the fence, with a view to overpower the police force, and get a sight at the execution. Clubs, stones, and other missiles were hurled at the heads of the police on duty, who shortly entered the crowd to arrest the offenders. The officers were some of them knocked down, but at length succeeded in capturing some of the ring leaders of the mob. which soon dispersed. —Lafayette Courier, 12th.

The long correspondence on the subject between the two governments has been closed by an elaborate and conclusive dispatch to Mr. Buchanan, fentlast Saturday, requiring the British government to recall Mr. Crampton, or naming the alternative of the administration giving him his passport. The same paper signifies distinctly the revocation of the Expquatora of Consul Barclay at New York, Mathew at Philadelphia and Ricorit at Cincinnati who were implicated in the enlistment.

We have-repeatedly alluded in: this jdiirttaJ to the terms that must be required from Russia to effect a peace that shall be safe and honorable. The annihilation of the maritime supremacy of Russia in the Biack Sea, by the exclusion from its waters of all ships of war—by the dismantling of her fortresses on its coasts—and by the residence of Consuls, who may certify that no purposes but those of legitimate commerce are ever attempted to- be compassed—would free Turkey from all danger by sea from her great neighbors whilst the utter renunciation of all rights of interference with tbe Sultan's dominion over his subjects, and of protectorate over the Danubian Principalities, together with the cession of a portion of Bessarabia, comprising the mouths of the Danube, would secure the Porte in undisputed possession of its European territorial rights. These conditions, when confirmed by material guarantee, as well as by treaty, would solve the eastern question. Other important terms it is true, are demanded, such as that Bomarsund should not be rebuilt, but of these we do not wish to state more than that all is exactly and finally laid down.

All was complete, save the flag, which Copeley did not esteem prudent to hoist under present circumstances, as his gallery is a constant resort of the royal fnmily and the nobility.

I dined with the artist on the glorious fifth of December, 1705, after listening with him to the speech of the King, formally receiving and recognizing the United States of America as one of tho nations of the earth. Previous to dining, and immediately after our return from the House of Lords, he invited me into his studio, and there with a bold hand—a master touch—and an American heart, attached to the ship tho stars and stripes. This was, I imagine, the first American flag hoisted in old England, on canvass!
