T'bero vw a time when American aip.omaey
was regarded as e plain, homespun, wholesome
s->rt of si.rvlce, which was held np to the imitation
of this country by politicians < f the school of iir.
Grote or the late Joseph Hume. American Min
isters wereßUprosed to bo wholly removed from
the artifices of Courts and the subtleties of diplo
matic ictercoar-e. Their instructions were to
nbs'ain Irom all those acts of interference which
cause nine tenths of tbe troubles of mankind—to
maintain their own dignity without encroaching
righttfgpf others, and to rely on tbe growing
[Strength and prosperity ot fbo American people
to secure for ti.em the station they deseive among
the States of th* world. Thaga maxims
are, howevot, d ito. Wn - repre
ten T a*.iYe;j of the of President Fierca
and his immediate predecessors have brought with
them to Europe a different assortment of notioLS,
and no later thun last autumn a regular conference
waa bold by these gentlemen in one of the towns
of Belgium to discuss and determine questions
which, if they couid be seriously regarded, might
threaten the peace of the other hemisphere. This
moeting was attended by Mr. Buchanan, tbe Amor
icau Minister in Loudon, by Mr. Mason, from
Faria, and by Mr. Boulo, from dadrid, end the
chief topic under the consideration of these Plsni
potentiaries w-s the acquisition of Cuba. The
de-patch in which they commuui ated to the Cab
inet of Washington the result of their del berations
was dated from Aix-la Chape lie, the 18th of Octo
ber, 18E4; and it contains the following extraordi
nary pa-sage, which appears to us to deserve the
utmost publicity, especially as two of the gentle
men who signed it are still accredited to the Courts
of England and Franco:
“ After wo shall have offered Sp r *in a price lor
Cuba as beyond its present value, and this shall
havo been refused, it will then bo timo to consider
tne question,—Does Cuba, in the possession of
Spain, seriously endanger our internal peace and
the existence of our ch : fished Union ? Should
this question be answered in the affirmative, then
by every law, human and divine, wo shall bo jus
tified in wresting it from Spain, if we havo the
power; and this upon the very same principle
that would justify an indivi lual in touring down
the burning house of neighbor, if there was no
other menus of preventing tho flames from des
troying his own home.
‘•Under such circumstances we ought neither
to count tho cost nor regard tho odds which Spain
might cnlißt against us. We forbear to enter into
the question wnethoriho present condition of the
island would justify such a measure. Wo should,
however, be recreant to our duty, bo unworthy of'
our gallant loreiathert', and commit base ti*ef:Ho!i
against our posterity, should wo permit Cuba to bo
Africanized and become a second St. Domingo,
with all its attendant horrors to the white race,
end suffer the flames to extend to our own neigh
boring shores, seriously to endanger, or actually
consume, tho fair fabric of our Union.”
According to this dec tine, it is obvious that no
such thing as political right can ex : st ia tho
world ; for tho lest applied to the condition of a
foreign state and tho sovereignty of u foreign
dependency is not whether the actual prßsesscr is
entitled to hold a thing, but whether it suits the
convenience of auy-body else lo tnko it from. It
is an application of M. Louis Blanc’s theory to tho
rights of nations, when ho decreed from tbe Lux
emburg that tho wages of mankind ought to bo
regulated, not by their earnings but by their
wants. If my peace of mind is destroyed bocauso
my neighbor overlooks my garden,—if my pro
teusions to sue.ess in life aro 'pposod by a suc
cessful rival, —or if, in short, an>thing occurs to
infringe upon tho golden rule of sell, “then, by
every law, human and divino,” according to these
modern interpreters of j lstice and policy, wc are
justified in wresting the ol joet cf our aversion or
our cupidity from its own rs, if wo havo the power.
Tho old definition of justice and tho rights of pro
perty was, ‘,£w uture two ut alienum non Indus
but tho modern instance of this ancient law is,
“ Use other men’s posa s ions eo as to prevent
them from injuring yourself.” We really exag
gerate nothing ; irony and caricature would be out
of place. This n the deli brat e opinion of the threo
principal Americans chosen and sent by tho gov
ernment of Washington to represent its principles
aud to uphold its character in Europe, and we are
bound to suppose that they represent at least some
considerable class of opinions in tho United States.
If the existence of Cuba as a Spanish colony can
in any way affect tho internal peace and union of
the American Republics—above all, if tho princi
ples of emancipation, of independence, and of hu
man free lorn from the bond&g. of the planter and
tho scourge of slavery were ever to strike root in
that soil, watered ns it is with tho blood of eo
many millions of negroes, then, indeed, tho duties
of these .American patriots would become impera
tive, and they must hasten to impose on the in
habitants of Cuba a yoke far more onerous, as far
as the black population is concerned, than that cf
Cathode and Monarchical Spain. So thutthogreat
er tho progress of the island aud the more it be
comes assimilated to the l'rco West Indian colonies
of this country, the greater would be the induce
ment of those American statesmen to extend thoir
territories by invasion and by conquest. That is
precisely the argument by which the Czars of Rus
sia justified iheir interference in Folaud in the last
century, and thoir aggressions o i Turkey in our
own time—self-interest diegui ed under the plea of
self defenco—im: ginary dangers conjured up to
palliate real justice—a wrong to another oer.cribod
as a duty to posterity. These aro tho old sophisms
by which attempts havo ever been made to bring
tho excesses of rapacity and ambition within tho
code cf intomatiour.imorality. They are, in truth,
no bettor than gross and palpable lies: they do
ceivo no one, not oven thosa by whom thoy aro ut
tered; and wc can conceive nothing mere worthy
of a free people than to repudiate with tho indig
nation they deserve these maxims, which arc la
tal to tho true dignity of tho United States, bo
cause they are dishonor end untruo. Whatever
may bo the fare of Cuba, there is no reoson that
any change in its social condition (if, indeed, any
such change is likely to take place) should produce
more powerful effects on tho Unitud States than
tho loss of St. Domingo by France, or tho eman
cipation of tho blacks of Jamaica by England. To
carry out tbe detestable principle now avowed, it
would be necessary lor Ike United States to absorb,
one by one, tho islands which stud the Caribbean
Sea, to strip them of the privileges of free men,
which wo have bestowed on thoir black inhabi
tants, and to reduce them once more to be an ar
chigelago of slaves. Do the American diplomat
ists who hold this language suppose that the in
ternal peace and existence ot their justly cherish
ed Union aro to b? bought such a price! They
are strangely mistaken. Tho conflict with Spain
which their designs on Cuba mu t occasion, the
coolness with Franco and England to which it
would givo rise, tho horrible tccncs which must
tako place in the Island itself before the black pop
nlat’ou could be reduced to absolute and passive
obedience to tho American laws, aro not the great
est porils which this policy would call into life.—
Far from being a cause of union and strength to
the people of America, we ore satisfied that a war
begun forso atrocicuo an object, defended by such
arguments as these, and tending to such results,
would be by no inconsiderable part of tho
States. The freemen of Amorica would ask how
long they arc to endure the opprobimn and partic
ipate in the guilt of tho slave owners and slave
States, whose simplest notions cf morality and du
ly aro tainted by the institution under which they
live; the hardy States of the North would not
send down thoir forces to rivet fetters ou the
slaves of Cuba, and to placo in the Senate of the
Union tho representatives of another slaveholding
community; end the re-action would extend with
alarming violccco against the interosts of the
sisvo owners in the South. By the nature of
things, that conflict would be fought out not on the
soil of Cuba—the battle must be 10.-tor won in the
heart of the Unite! States.
We trust that, in suite of tho extravagant con
duct of many cf the diplomatic agents Lamed by
Mr. Iherce, their power's limited and their in
fluence on tbe decline. The late Congress Laa ter
minated its labors and its existence, and another
Assembly, elected under a new order of opinion,
has succeeded to it. The members of this body
aro untried men, and tho principles of what is
termed the ‘‘Know-nothirsr party” havo not yet
hem seen in action; but, so far as we are acquainted
with them, we pre er them to the schemes of those
who sought to supply their own in
ternal weakness by foreign agitation; and we are
not without hopes that the good sense of the na
t>on may continue to hold in check the folly and
violence of its rulers.

tCe have received from Vienna, Count Nessel

ot the intentions e: ter utoedby tbe new Emperor,
and is the first official prpsr which has appeared on
the suhjoct. The following is a translation:

“This document expresses his Mejrsty’s pro

he is called to fulfi'. Those duties have been im
posed on him by Divine Piovideuce in the midst
of severe trials. Ascending the throne of his an

religious reverence for the memory of his much

heritage two obligations, which in his eyes are
equally sacred." The first demands Horn his ila

of the integrity and honor of Bus‘ia. The second
imposes cn his M .jesty thednty Gi st caddy devoting
his care to the completion of that work of peace,
the bases of which were sanctioned by the Emperor
Nicholas.
Faithlu! to the ideas which predominated in the

the instrcciions with which the Plenipotentiary of

The Attack on Adams & Co.’s Ba? king House
in Sox ora.— B:th the Sonora papers censure in tho
severest terms the mob that broks into Adams &
Co.’s banking bouse in that city, and seized upon
tho 149,000 therein found. The mob, it is said,
was instigated an! hea led by a party of lawyers,
who aro said to havo made a handsome thing out
of it, by pocketing numerous fees aud per centa
ges for collection. The Harald says:—-“Wc are
told that many of the rioters on this occasion had
no money in the bank, and probably were impelled
tD take part in the proceedings with the desire and
hope cf plunder, supp -sing Fuat there would, per
-1 aps, bo a general scramble for the when
the building was entered. The iron door was soon
buist open ; and the committee and a few others
ottered tho building, when the safe was attacked,
its locks broken, ana the treasure reached. T .en
the persons entside having certificates of deposit,
wero admitted one Wy cue, and paid their cash.
It is said that some of the lawyers charged a per
centagc on many of the sums wore prid out.
They withdrew ail the attachments which they hold
against Adams & Co., but charged defendants with
co.-ts of suit, and paid the same out of the whole
amount found in the vault. A large amount was
paid into tho hands of the lawyers for clients,
which was divided up next day.”
The affairs of Adams & Co., had come before the
Fourth District Coart, in a variety of motions—
motiona by receivers to punish sheriff’s officers for
levying on tho assets, rnotioa by the creditors
for access to tho assess; also to vaca e stay of pro
ccodings ordered in tho insolvency suit. Tho
arguments had engaged tho greatest array of conn-
Rel ever witnessed in any trial in tho State. The
decision uould undoubtedly bo appealed to tho
Supremo Court, whether it bo given in favor of
tho receiver or the creditors.

Extensive Fraud.—On Wednesday, 14th, a
warrant wan issued f*r tho arrest of G. J. H.
Saunders, charged in tho complaint with having
forged tho uamo of Gilbart Grant, to a mortgage
upon certain real estate property at the corner of
Battery and Clay sts.; and further that the said
SRunders obtained the sum of SB,OOO from one
Blautier upon said lorged signature.
Upon his arrest, Mr. Saunders gave bonds, in
the sum of SIO,OOO to appear for examination bo
frro tho Recorder on tho following morning—
Messrs. Chas 11. Parker and Alfred Wheeler sign
ing os Bureliep. Tho proceedings of Wednesday
wei e kept secret.
Tho hour set for tho examination having arrived
and passed, ibo accused not having made his ap
poaranco, suggested supicion that ho had loft the
cltv.
Tho Recordor, after waiting for some time,
decided that there wore probable grounds for the
belief that the accused had absconded. Tho City
Marshal, Capt. North, Capt. McDonald, aud sever
al other officers of the Police started in pursuit of
Mr. Saunders, but up to the time of this writing,
their efforts to recapture him havo been unsuccess
ful.
Tho following forgorieß havo sinoo been charged
upon him:

A Clue to the Chass.—At 4 o’clock, P. M., it
was ascertained that Mr. Baunders had been seen
the previous evening on the San Jose road, pro
ccedicg at a rapid paco in a southerly direction.—
Officers North and Rideout wore immediately des
patched in pursuit, and it is believed the chances
ar j in favor of his capture.

On the 10th February the completion of the

all honors. It is rumored that the United States
Minister is about to return home, leaving the sec
retary of Legation to fill his place. From the Ar

counts of commercial difficulties, but in politico all

Maine Law —How re Womb. — To the late in
quiries made of the Hod. Neil Dow, he replied:
“The Maine Law has been in operation in the
State less than three years, having been approved
by tbo Governor, J nne 8, 1691; and now it will be
unanimonsly agreed by all disinterested persons,
that the quantity of liquor eold or consumed in the
Stato is not one tenth so mach as it was before
that time. Iff ware to say one-twentieth, I think
it wonld be very far within the truth.
“Neither in Portland, Bangor, or any other city
or town in Maine, are there any open grog shops,
as there ware all over the State before the Maine
Law ; while in many of the towns tho rum traffic
has been entirely- annihilated. We have no longer
as stock in trade in our Bbops and groceries, the
long list of intoxicating drinks which were former
ly to be fonnd there; hut instead, wo have more
food and raiment for the comfort of those now able
to pur hase, but who formerly had little of theso,
because the temptations of the beer shops were ir
resistible. Thousands of families now live in
comfort, which formerly found a precarious and
scanty subsistence, or depended on private charity
cr tho alms-house for support. The drinking
man, reformed by the removal of temptation out
ol his way, restored to his right mind, no loßger
on tho sabbath morning seeks the beer shop to
spend thoro all the holy time—thero is no beer
shop—but he turns his steps with wife and chil
dren to the house of God; and the children,
formerly raggod, neglected, and playing about
the streets, are now constant attendants on the
eabbath-fchool. A system like the rnm tr; ffi'—
the growth of centuries, and interwoven with the
appetites, passions end interests cf all bad men—
is not to be overthrown in a day or year, bat will
pass away with time and effort.
“The Maine Law, ns it now stands, is no finality
with us. It was thought to be as much as the pub
lic opinion of the time wonld sustain, but tho peo
ple will now follow up the metsure by additional
provisions and penalties, until there shall be no
grog shops in Maine, either open or secret.”
The Qcaxebs two Cisttbixs Aeo.—The Boston
Transcript, in giving an account of the extension
of improvements in that city, presents Borne curi
ous items in reference to the Quakers, taken most
ly lrom the last number of Drake’s History of
Boston:
•‘The first Quakers that came to Boston arrived
in May, 1656. The laws against the seot were very
severe in the Massachusetts Colony, and every
Quaker found in it was liable to the loss of one of
his ears. Four of them were put to death. From
the ear 1661 to 1608 the seo.ety of Friends held
regular meetings in Boston. This sect built the
first brick meeting house in the town, its site iB
believed to have neen somewhere in the neighbor
hood of that on which Brattle street church now
stands. In 17c S the society sold their house of
worship, ana the town authorities refused them
permission to erect a new one of wood. A second
brick edifice was erected on what was afterwards
known as 14 raker lane, now Congress street. This

; law' oi equity is oi such a oharacterthat qo recon

Their Mode c*f Living.-—The mode of life of the
i pairie trines, owing to their unsettled and wander
i ing habits, is 6uch as to j ender their oond tion one
i oi constant danger and apprehension. The socu
> nty of their amerous animals from the encroach
ments of their enemies, and their constant liabili
-1 ty to attacks, make it ©mperatively necesaary lor
• them to Wo at all times upon the alert. Their
■ details lor herdsmen are made with as much regu
larity as the guard details fit a military poet; and
even in times of the most profound peace, they
’ guard their animals both night and day, while
boonts are often patrolling upon tho adjoining
heights, to givo notice of the approach of stran
-1 gore, when their animals are hurried to a place ol
security, and everything made readyfor defence.
The manner in which they ealm© a stranger is
somewhat peculiar, as my own refiept'on at one of
their encampments will show, chief at thU
encampment was a very corpuloni old man, with
exceedingly scanty attire, who, Immediately on
our approach, declared himseli q great friend to
tho Americans, and persisted igiving me evi
dence ot his sincerity by an embrace, which, to
please him, 1 forced myself to subpit to, although
it was fa-from aarteablo to myijwn . feelings.—

when tbe savage again Boizrd mo in hia arms, and
I waa doomed to a. torture, with his
iuaduponmy while at the same
timo he rubbed his greasy faco against mine in tho
most affectionate manner; all ot which proceeding
he gave mb to understaLd was to be regarded
as a most distinguished and signal m&ik of affec
tion lor tho American people in general, whom, as
he expressed it, fco loved so much that it almost
broke hia heart; and in particular for myself, who,
as their representative, can bear testimony to tbe
airenglh ot his attachment. On leaving bis camp,
the chiel shook me heartily by the hand, telling
mo at the same time that he wa« not a Comanche,
but an American; ss I did not feel disposed to be
outdone in politeness by an Indian, I replied, in
tho same spirit, that there was not a v rop of Anglo
Baxon blood in my voins, but that 1 was wholly
and absolutely a Comanche, at which he seemed
delighted, duly understanding and appreciating
the compliment. These people are hospitable and
kind to all with whom thoy are not at war; and
on the arrival of a stranger at their camps, a lodge
is prepared for him, ana he is entertained as long
as no chooses to remain among them. They are
also kind and affectionate to each other, and as long
as anythingoomeatibio remains in the camp, ell aie
permitted to share alike; but with these excep
tions, they are possessed of but few virtiee. Polyg
amy is sanctioned and is very common among
them, every man being allowed as many wives as
he can support.
Tueik Dislike to Negboib.—Within the past
low years the Comanches havo (for what reason I
could not leum) taken an inveterate disliko to the
negroes, and have massacred several small parties
of tt;oao who attempted to escape from the Somi
Holes and cros* the plain* for the purpose ol
joining Wild Cat upon the liio Graudo. Upon
inquiring of them the cause of their hostility to
tho blacks, they replied that it waa because they
wero slaves to the whites; that thoy were sorry
for them, and wanted to bettor thoir condition by
sending thorn to another world.
Comanche Women.—These people, who aro so
extremely jealous of their own freedom that the/
will often commit suicide rather than bo taken
prisoners, aro the more prouo to enslave others,
and this dominant principle is carried to the
greatest extreme so far as regards thoir women.
A beast ol burden and a slave to tho will of her
brutal master, yet, straDgo us it may appoar, the
Comat che woman seems contented with her lot,
and submits to her will without a murmur. The
hardships imposed upon the iOmales seems most
severe and cruel. Tho distance of rank and con
Bideration which exists between tho black slave
and his master, is not greater than between the
Ccmanoho warrior and his wife. Every degrading
office that is imposed upon the black by the most
tyranical master, fall, among the Comanches, tc
the lot of tho wretched females. Thoy, in com
mon with other Indians, aro not a prolific race;
indeed, it ia seldom, that a woman has more than
three or four children. Many of theso, owing to
unavoidable exposure, die young ; tho boys, how
ever, aro nurtured with great kindness by thoir
mothoiß, while the girls are lrequently beaten and
abused unmercifully. I havo never seen ai idiot,
or ono that was naturally deformed, among them.
Treatment of Prisoners. —The eastern tribes,
although tney put their pneonors to torture of the
most appalling character, seldom, if ever, violate
the chastity of tho iemaler ; while, cn the con
trary, tho prairie Indians do not put thoir prison
ers to death by prolonged tortures, but invariably
oornpel the females to submit to their lewd em
braces. There is at, this time a white woman
among tho Middl; Comanches, by the name ol
Parker, who, with her brother, were taken cap
tives while they wero young children, from their
’father’s house in the western part of Texas. Thin
woman has adoptod all tho habits and peculiarities
of tho Comanches; has an Indian husband and
children, and cannot bo persuaded to leave thorn
The brother of tho woman, who had been ran
somod by a trader and brought home to his rela
tives, was sent back by his mother for tho purpose
of endeavoring to prevail upon his sister to leave
the Indians and return to her family; but he
stated to me that on his arrival she refused to
listen to tho proposition, saying that her hnsband,
children, ana all that she held most dear, wero
with the Indians, and ’here she should rouiain.
What is to Become ox these Indians?—As the
prairie Indians depend almost entirely on tho bus
falo for a subsistence and for clothing, it be
comes a question of much interest, what will be
the fate ol these people when theso animals have
become extinct ? Formerly, buffalos were found
in oonntlesß herds over almostthe entire Northern
continent of America, from tbo 23th to the 60th
degreo of north latitude, and from the shores of
Lake Champlain to the Kooky Mountains. Thou
sands of these animals wero annually slaughtered
for thoir skins, and often for their tongues alone;
animals whose flesh is sufficient to afford suste
nance to a largo numbor of mon, are sacrificed to
furnißh a “bou boncho” for the rich epicure. This
wholesale slaughter on the part of the white man,
with the number consumed by the Indians, who
are constantly on their trail, migrating with them
as regularly as the season comes round, with the
ravenous wolveß that are always ut hand to destroy
one of them if wounded, givos the poor beast but
little rest or prospect of permanent existence. It
is only oight years since the westorn borders of
Texas abounded with buffaloes; but now, they
seldom go sonth of Bed river, and their raDge
upon east and west has also very much contracted
within tho same time, so that they are at present
confined to a narrow belt of country between tho
outer settlements and the base of theßocky Moun
tains. With this rapid diminution in their num
bers, thoy must in the course of a very sow years
become exterminated. What will then become of
the prairie Indian, who, as I havo alreadv re
marked, relies for subsistence, shelter and clothing
on the flesh and hide of this animal! He must
either perish with th m, increase hia marauding
depredations on the Mexican#, or learn to culti
vate tbe soil. As the first law of our nature is
self preservation, he must therefere reaort to one
of the latter alternatives. But as he has no
knowledge of agriculture, considers it the bueinor-B
of a slave, aud very much beneath the dignity of a
warrior, it appears reasonable to suppose that he
will turn his attention to the Mexicans, over whom
he has held the mastery for many years.
Turin test ox Fbiedshif.—Tho Indians of the
plains are acccustomed, in their diplomatic inter
course with each other, to exchange presents, and
they have no idea of friendship unaccompanied by
a substantial token in this form: moreover, they
measuro tne strength of the attachment of their
fiends by the magnitude of the present they re
ceive: and I am firmly convinced that a small
amount of money annually expended in this way,
wi'.h a proper and judicious distribution of the
presents,would have a very salutary influence in
cheoking the depredations upon the Mexicans. In
a talk which I held with a chi f of one of the
bands of prairie Indians, I stated to him that tho
President of the United States was their friend,
and wished to live in poaco with them. He replied
he was much aston’shed to hear this: for jnoging
from the sow trifling presents I had made hia
people, he was or opinion that the “Big Captain”
he'd them in bat little estimation.
CninsiiANiZATiON ox tub Indians. —Thus far no
efforts have ever been made to impiove tbo moral
or physical condition of these people; no mis
sionaries have, to my knowledge, ever visited them
and they havo no more idea of Christianity than
they have of the religion of Mahomet. We find
dwelling almost at our doors as barbarous aud
heathenish a race as oxists cn the face of the earth;
and while our benevolent and philanthropic citixeas
are making such efforts to ameliorate the ooudilion
of savages in other countries, shouid we not do
something for these wild men of the prairies?
Those dingy noblemen of nature, tho original pro
prietors of all that vast domain included between
the shores of the Atlantio end Pacific, have been
despoiled, supplanted, and robbed of their juet and
legitimate heritage, by the avaricious and rapid
encroachments of the white man. Numerous and
powerful nations have already been exterminated
by un justifiable wars that he has waged with them,
and by the effects of the v.cos he has introduced
and inculoated; and of thoss that remain, but few
can be found who are not contaminated by the
pernicious influence of nnprincipled and design
ine adventurers. It is not at this late day in our
power to stone for ail tbe injustice inflicted upon
the red man ; but it seems to me that a wise policy
wonld dictate almost the only recompense it is now
in our power to cf introducing among
them the light c-f Christianity an i the blessings ot
civilisation, with their attendant benefits of agri
culture and the arts.

Th© fehlp James Ches oa.-Ths Mystery of her
A bander ni cut Explained.
We La/o seldom known a marine’disaster to
have excited ?o much general iu:e T x?*t iu the com
munity as tho abandonment of tho ship J.-rnos
Cheston. This mtercs: has Leon occasioned n 3
much by tho high esteem in which Oap r am White
i.-> ir Id, bAb p-icav ly ui 1 ■ . as by
the mjstery which the circum'tsneo-, us far a*
developed, seemed to enshroud the who’e rfftir.
Wo fcave consequently made every exertion to
present such a statement of facts as will extend to
a proper understanding of case.
The despatch received oa Wednasday last, from
Wilmington, North Carolina, bv J. Ches
ton A Bons, tbe owners, in conjunction v/ith Mr.
Hugh Jenkins, of the James Cheston,.was in tho
following words:— v
“Wilmington, N. C., April 4, 1855.
Messrs. J. Gmaton & Sons :—Ship
ton lost at sea, 25th of February—havo just arrived
here—will extend protest. Jos. L. White.”
From the Jact that nothing further bad been
heard from Captain White up to Saturday morn
ing the opinion became pretty general that tho
despatch was an impcaitiou ; that the contain had
not arrivod at Wilmington or ho wou’d by that
fur o have reached Baltimore. A despatch of on
quiry was consequently seal to Wilmington, aud
an answer received teat Capt. White and eight of
his crow had arrived there and had startod for
Baltimore. This removed all doubts as to tho lac*
that the ship had been abandoned volunti ri!y by
the captain, whose presence iu Baltimore yesterday
morning was confidently anticipated, but on tho
arrival of the Norfolk boat it was rscerulned that
the two mate's of the Cheston and six of tho crew
were on board, but that Captain White was iu
Portsmouth. This apparently singular delay on
his part wo aro happy to havo it iu our power to
explain, especially’as it seemed yeater. ay oven to
his warmest friends almost inexplicable.
We loam from very good authority that Captain
White was detained at Wilmington, in making his
affidavitand protestnutil Thursday, and Iplt Wil
mington at 2 o’clock Friday morning, expecting to
reacn Baltimore cn Saturday iriornipg. The train,
however, faded to m- ko its connexion at Weldon,
Portsmouth, in which who hadTifFWil
mington, oao day after him, also arrivod. Ou
reaching Portsmouth, Captain W. was again doom
ed to disappointment in finding that hia baggage,
containniug the ship’s papers, and many valnab o ,
had been left behind at Weldon, or misdelivered
somewhere on the route. Ho was therefore com
pelled to remain another day at Portsmouth, and
will probably reach Baltimore byway of Rich
mond thi3 morning, and will publicly bo nblo to
give a satisfy story explanation of the whole disas
tor, as well as of his apparent neglect iu return
ing with proper despatch to Baltimore.
Statements of the Crew.—A portion of the
crow of the James Cheston, arrived ia this city on
Bunday morning in the steambo t from Norfo k
They consisted of Mr. Jason, first mate, Mr. J.
Packwood, second mute, four boys, the cook und
steward. Mr. Jason sta.os that tho shi;. appeared
to bo leaky before she got out of the Chesapeake
Bav, but as it is well known that ney/ ships most
ly leak a little at first, no notice was taken of it.
When three days out a very sovo o gale occurred,
which stranded tho ship very much, and cun c »
great fears for the safety of tho musts. During tho
gale the water in tho hold increased, and th;
seams of the sides and docks appeared very cpoi.
and admitted tho wator quite frooly. The captain
then concluded to steer for St. Thomas.
All hands were now engaged at tho pamps, night
end day, for twenty-ono successive days. The I
crew were worn down with fatigue, and wero all
with scarcely an exception, laboring und, r dyson
tery and an oreptive disease, bo'ii of which wore
supposed to arrive from the bad condition of the
drinking water, which had become si brak'sh as
to bo almost unfit for üb:. In this situation they
were spoken by the Holland brig Two Friends,
bound to Savannah, which lay by them several
hours, the sea perfectly calm. There being only
about 70 gallons of drinkable water aboard the
.-hip, and tho brig having none to spare, tho cap
tain concluded that the only course left fir him
was to abandon the ship, as she had six foe! of
water in her hold, aud a!I tho efforts of tho crew
could not gain on it; besides which they wero in
capable o; miking further exertions. Tho fuel of
augur holes having b?en bored iu ho 1 ’ they state
to be inexplicable. The ship was abandoned on
the £sth February. On board tho br;g it was
found necessary to put the whole crew on an al
lowance of water. Boon after, throe of tho men
wero token off by the ship Bombay for Boston,
four ou board tho Island City, for Galve ton, and
tho balance, consisting of the Captain and tho crow
abovo mentioned on board the Lucy L. ttperry,
for Wilmington, N. C.
Caftain White’s Letter. —A letter was yet ter
day morning received by Messrs. Cheston iron.
Captain White, which poems lo have been written
before ho had any knowledge of his ship having
been taken up derolict. This fottsr states that
she sprung aleak two days after icavirg tho Chesa
peake, and tho wind blowing very heavy, the
ves el made more and morn water, and from 6tb
February to 25th tho pumps kept constantly
going, but it was found impossible to keep her
free. On the 25th February, abandoned her, and
went on board the Dutch brig Two Friends, from
Amsterdam, bound to Savannah. On the 18 b
March, part of the crew wore transferred to th
ship Bombay from Calcutta, bound to Boston, and
on tho 27th March, the captain, mates, cook, stew
ard and four boys wero transferred to tho schooner
Lucy L. Sperry, from St. Thomas, boa ad to Wi!
mington, N. C., at which latter placo they arrived
on the 14th inst. The ship was abandoned in lat.
81 N., lon. 40 W., having at tho time 6 feet cf
water in her lower hold, and one foot between
decks. The letter of the Captain gives no farther
details, but states that ho had boon iu great trouble,
and would be able to give entire satisfaction to hip
owners and underwriters on reaching Balti me re.
Statement of her Salvors.—The following is
the deposition made at Liverpool by tho mate ot
the bark Marathon, who took charge of the ship
James Cheston and carried her into port;
Liverpool, March 17, 1855.—This day appeared
before me, Henry C. Cnapman, receiver o. droits
of Admiralty, John B. Thomas, mate of ho bark
Marathon, und being duly swore, deposed and
said: That the Marathon was bound to Liverpool
from Bombay, with a cargo of cotton and linseed.
About 80 A eg. N. lat., long. 40 W., wind East,
light breeze. Deponent about BA.M. on the 20th
of February, saw a vossoel ahead. Cam** up along
side of her abot 10.80 A. M., hailed and did not
receivo an answer—the top sail y:rds wore ou the
cap, and top sail sheeted home, courses hauled up,
jib set, and top-gallant sails flying aloft. Buppo
sing Iho ship abandon© l, hoisted out tho boat and
depoaont went on board; found every repo adrift,
and in tho cabin everything in disorder as il plun
dered, or as if everything of value had been ro
moved. There was not oven a compass on board,
and only somo bread and a bag of coffee in the aide
cabina. On sounding the pumps, found some ten
feet water in tho lower hold, and nearly three fee'
betwoon decks. Commenced to heave cargo ovor
board to allow water between decks to go into tne
lower hold, and cut a hole in tho lee deck for that
puroose. and then turned to pump aft3r maki> g
sail on tno ship, kept the pumps constantly going,
and about 7 IJ.1 J . £l. began to gam on tho water iu
the hold, and at 8 A M. on the Ist, she was dry.
Deponent and six able seamen, with the carpenter,
a boy, and a native cook, then took charge of the
vessel. Off the "Western foies parted company
with the Marathon, and arrived on the morning of
the 16th. None of the ship’s papers were left on
board. On the 9th, the same deponent further
testified that he found two augur-hoies bored
through the stanchions botween decks, and also
found an axe and an augur near tho spot. The
water was rushing through tho holes, and in a few
hours more the ship mint havo gone down.—
Deponent stopped tho augur holes.”
English Statements Relative to the Cheston.
—The loliowing is an extract of a letter frem tho
Receiver of Droits at Liverpool, respecting tLe
Cheston:
In forwarding the deposition of the mate of the
Marathon giving the details relating to tho ship
James Cheston, it appears to me uhogethor an ex
traordinary affair. It strikes mo tho pumps have
been neglected, and when tho water in tho hold
has been discovered tho crew have refused to pump
or proceed—that to prevent tho ship remaining
afloat and becoming dangerous to o‘her vessels an
attempt was made to ecuttlo her. If not picked up
by any vessel tho crew will most likely steer for
the West Indies. Tho mate of the Marathon, who
brought home the derelict, deserves groat credit,
and is a good specimen ofa munly and determined
British seamen. He was eo resolved to save the
vessel that he actually made sail ou tho James
Cheston before ho set on pumps. I have ordered
the chip to be placed in the Albert Dock, for
security, and in order, also, to prevent any useless
law expenses, or application for Admiralty v?ri!s, I
shall bond and deta n tho ship and cargo until the
representatives of tho different partio> interested
shall appear, and either arrange tho :-:alva or givo
tho necessary securing lor the legal claims cf the
salvors.
The following is an extract of a ktterfrom Lloyd’s
agent at Liverpool, to Capt. Halstead:
“Sir—As there are many rumors and surraicos
about the James Cheston, and a suspl T- of some
violence having been done by the 1. rater cr-:*, I
have made every inquiry, and find it is the r pinion
of the salvors that the crew previous to abandon
ing the ship had thrown the cargo overboard, and
that the abandonment had not taken pl. ee in a
hurry. The mate of the Marathon thinks the leak
arises from the slack caulking in the bottom. He
hove overboard about 20 bundles ol bacon,a .d
five or Bix cases of tobacco in order to clear th:
hatchway and let the water run down into the
hold.
Condition ox the Cheston when Found.—Lit
ters received in Baltimore stale that the ilar.vhun
arrived at Liverpool a few days after tho Jatncs
Cheston, and a claim was put in by the salvors for
£23,ooo—the ship and cargo in the meantime, is
attached by the Court ot A-imiralty lor this amount.
None of the cargo except a few boxes of bacon and
tobacco was thrown overboard, and with tbe ex
caption of a lew augur holes bored in her she is
uninjured, and as tight and sound an the day she
went to sea. All the cupboards and drawers v.-ero
forced, also the eaptaiu’s writing desk, and alt the
appearance cf piracy. Letters from Liverpool aud
London to the owners here, also relate'c’rcum
stances regarding this vessel, strongly indicating
that there has been foul play, and murder aboard.
One letter BtEtes that murks of blood wore dis
tinctly seen on several parts of the ve eel, and
that there were other evidence of a serious e’rug
g!e, or conflict having taken place. Each of tfce--e
accounts express the belief, that mutiny or murder
must have been perpetrated, ending in pillage and
robbery. The ship had not the general appear
auca of having been disabled by a storm or seve e
weather. Another letter says thet all the papers
were destroyed, the doors of the cabin defaced
and other indications of violence. These state
ments tended, of course, to increase the excite
ment with regard to the fate of the Captain, bn!
tbe foregoing statements show them to have been
mainly imaginary.
It will be seen by a telegraphic despatch in an
other column, that the portion of the crew token
on board the Two Friends had arrived at Savan
nah, and, in consequence of the suspicions enter
tained, had been arrested by the Mayor.
By a comparison of the statements of the Cap
tain aud the salvors, it will be seen that the Cbei
ten was not picked np by the salvers for tfareo
days after she was deserted, and that tbe water
in her hold had measured from 6 to 10 feet, end
between decks, from one to three feet. She was
abandoned on the 25th, and picked up on the 29tb.
Ship James Cheston —Abbivae ox Capt. hits.—
The Baltimore Patriot of Tuesday afternoon says:
Captain White, of the ahip James Cheston, arrived
here this morning in the Norfolk steamer, and has
had a oonferenoe with the owners, in which no
additional facts of moment are made knowD, be
yond those already elicited from the Mates. The
Captain brings hie log-book with him, which, ac
cording to his report exhibits tbe condition eftbe
vessel prior to end up to the time of her being
abandoned, varying very little from the accounts
heretofore published. A mystery still hangs over
the whole affair, which has not yet been dispelled
even by Capt. W.’s accounts. Some testimony
has been elicited from pert of the crew, which,
however, cannot be considered legal, that may be
corroborated by statements hereafter to be made,
upon lurthor information lrom Europe, regarding
tho real condition of things.
Capt, White brought with him this morning his
pretost, iu which he states that the vessel com
menced leaking when two dr.yscut from the Capos
and continued leaking for twenty days after, aud
tha‘ with both pumps going all tho time, thoy wero
not able to koop her free. That on the 25th Feb
mary, the opportunity having arrived of going
aboard tho brig “Two Friends,” he concluded to
abandon the ship for the safety of their lives,
which was done about 7 p. m.—the vessel appear
ing at the time to bo sottlieg fast. This is the
substarC3 of the Csptain’a protest, but we hear
from indefinite sources, that a portion of tho ves
sel’s crßw, did not feel special apprehension of im
mediate danger, and would not have felt inclined
to abandon her under the ci cumstanoes. There
is coHsidreable controversy and difference of opin
ion in regard to the angor holes which we’O found
bored in her on hor being taken into Liverpool.
A letter received here this morning, from Wil
mington, N. C., from responsible paitiea there

Session of Mabcu 8, 1856.—Daring the debate
on tho organization of the Cortex, Sonor Serrano y
Dominguez announced that ho bad a question to
put to tho Government, and the I’reeidont having
tieehirod the discussion suspended—
Seuor Serauo y Doming, e* said: All the peri
odicals havo speksa of a very serious oonspiraoy
dbeovered by a the worthy Captain General of iho
Island of Cabs; and the subject is so argent and
so important that I have daemod it my duty to
address tbe question to the Government, if tho
President wi 1 permit mo so do so.
The Minisior of state (Lazuruga) replied: So
nors, indued the Government ot hor Majesty has
received official notice of a oonspiraoy having been
discovered in the Island ot Cuba, whioh might
have been serious had it not happily boon discov
ered in timo; and the Govern moat bus now the
satisfaction to commuoioate to tho Deputies and to
the country the assurance, the great confidence it
entertains that the conspiracy will be suppressed ;
that tho public tranquility will continuo entirely
undisturbed. Tho Government onlenaina this
well lounded c nfidouce, tor that, independent cf
tho loyalty, firmness, and intelligence of tho au
thoritios that represent it in that country, it counts
upon an army sufficiently numerous, very faithful,
very determined and fully resolved to msiutai
theiutogrity of the territory. It counts, more
over, upon tho sentmionts ot loyalty of the popu
lalion in general, and upon the determination ot
a part ot that population even to sacrifice their
lives to maintain this integrity cf territory.
Secors, for this reason the Government of her
Majesty deems it expedient to ir.alio a call upon
tto patriotism of tho Deputies. Thoy should not
lose sight ot tho foot that iu every question having
reference to the lu usd of Cuba there ia always a
letent principle, a principle, Seuoro, whioh wo a I
disavow, and of Which we may all ultimately be
come the dupes, aud whioh dictates to us mneh
circumepeoiion and caution whenever any matters
having relation to that island aro discussed. The
principle we huvo to guard against, Scuore, is that
spirit which has sprang up in a few turbulent in
dividuals ot annexation to a neighboring State.—
But, sirs, this would not ho daugerons in its ten
deucy wero it not associated with anothor idea.—
Along with the idea of annexation, that of its fco
ing tho means of securing the continuance ot
■ lavery in tho iElatid is always present. This is
not lost Bight of, nor ia it forgotten that tho laudod
estates and their cultivation, which form tho Bole,
tne great , oaiih ol that island, depend upon ait’.vo
ry, and that consequently, when this principle i«
e idamrered, tie holders of property must be
alarmed.
tiirs, whore slavery is discussed, sentiments of
philanthropy and other considerations inseparable
from tho rubjeot aro excited. But it is neceesary
to bear in mind one thiDg; and that is that lb.
Island of Cuba can never coaso to bo an integral
part of tho ttpanish territory but by one of two
modes; oithor by emancipation, whioh would be
the complete extermination of tho white race—
hat is, of all tho Spanish and natives of tho island
who derive thoir origin from Europe—or by an
nexation, and by that those who hold slavery most
iu abhorrence would not succeed in securing its
extinction. Her Mcjcsty’s Government, sirs, is
resolved, tharetoro, to maintain those treaties
which prohibit tho trado in negroes, and to oxe
cute them with good faith aud sincerity, with an
assurance that they not only are, bat will continue
to be enacted r gorously aud faithfully. Bat at
the Same timo, sirs, hor Majesty’s Guvornmo ton
tartains the most thorough couviotion that slavery
is a necessity, and a oonditioniudispoußableto the
maintenance ot tho lui.dod property in the Island
of Cuba, and it has boon willing to anticipate tbe
feelings of tho Dapu.ios by giving to those’ nations
and the property holders of the Island the asBU
ranee, that it has not outerod into the mind of any
body to touch this principle.
1 trust, sirs, that I have thus satisfied the just
solicitudes ot the Deputy, as well ss of tho other
gentlemen Boated on those benches. I conotudo
by repeating that thoy may rest. oontented that
the Government possesses all tho power, physical
and moral, neeessarry to preserve that it land, and
that tor greater seonr.ty it is about to Bond more
lorcesjtho first division of which to leave forthwith,
and to bo followed immediately by ethers. 1
ought to add, also, that if tho danger appreheudod
from the conspiracy was aggravated by the coinci
ienooof an expedition of pirates whioh waa hold
iu roadinos3, there is every reason to believo that
tho latter hts been frustrated; but, should this
not be the case, the authority of the Island of Cuba
ills prepared all uccossary means to annihilate it
ou its lauding. Thus, then, iu the name of her
Mrjesty’rt Government, I trust I havo said enough
to trauquilise the minds of tbe Deputies.
[When the Minister of State had concluded, a
proposition was made that tho Cortes should de
clare ti.enii mvci fully satisfied with the explana
tion given by the Government; and, the question
being taken thereon, it was decided unanimously
in tho affirmative.] — Nat.lntel.

A Port au Prince (Hayti) correspondent of our
Abolition theorists of the N. Y. Tribune, sends
them tbe disagreeable aud troublesome intelligence
conveyed in the following:
Thero is not tho least doubt, and we express
this with real piiilauthropioal regret, that tho ne
gro empiro of ii&yti is going down rapidly with
every your, and will bo lost, without help. The
rotten machinery of State and society wont on
pretty well for a while, as long as tho illusion cf
the paper money lasted, and the ignorai.t negro, by
habit, or want of reflection, received tho bad shin
plasters of this government for good current
money. During tho time of tho Republic, the ru
lers of Hayti were bo prudent as not to carry to an
excess tho manufacture of this paper, which ha* no
specific basis. Under President Bayer, tho whole
Island formed one single State, the expon* os of the
Government wero moderate, and living in Hayti
was cheaper than anywhere else in tho West
Indies.
liven under the last President, Riohe, tho
amount of the paper money in circulation was but
$17,000,000. During the reign of the JEraperor,
Soulauquc, tho e* pensesof tne Steto havo inerea-od
immensely, and in ar. equal proportion tho poverty
of tho masses has augmented. The circuiting
nyper has reached tho immense sum of $150,000,00a.
F ?rgod bank notes havo been imported in great
quantities, and are cot easily to bo distinguished
horn the good ones. Tne paper has almost entire
ly lost its value. All kinds of goods havo risen in
proportion, and living is actual.y as expensive in
Port aa Prince as in any luxurious capital of Eu
rope The army, the public officers, tho whole
Government costs now utmost three times as much
as at the time of the Republic, wi ich, it is true,
was likewise by no means a model State, y t even
in its worst condition, did not attuin such a
high degree of rotlennobs and corruption as the
Empire.
So -buqnc seizes, as is wed known, a fifth part
of tho whoio annual ootfee crop for his civil list, 01
rather for himself. Tho coffee cultivating negroe?
are obliged to sell their crop to certain privileged
speculators, from whom alane foreign merchants
re permitted ‘o buy. It is from the privileged
“fkpeculatorp” ’hat the Emperor receives this fifth
part. The coffee crop is dccreas.ng rather than
augmenting with every year. According to a gen
tloiaan well informed ia these matters, the coffee
product now amounts to about 40,000,000 of pounds
anna&liy, while under tho administration of Pres
cient Boyer, it reached more than 60,000,000 of
pounds. On account of the increasing deprecia
tion of the p*ip2r money, end the great injury suf
fered from the usury ol the licensed speculators,
tho prefit of tho cultivators of coffee becomes
-mallor aud smallor ; they dissuade certain : ii»ngs
;vhich they had formerly bought from foreign
manufacturers.
Their dress resembles more and more the sim
r>!o, primitive fashion of their ancestors in Soudan
or Guinea. They hardly know shame, and the
climate of Ebjti issodolignt.ally warm, that its in
habitants requiro bardiy more luxury in dress
han it was the fashion to wear in tho old Paradise,
-omo bacon and a few plantains aro sufficient.—
The negroes aro not so strong and robust as tbe
ancient slave population of Bt. Domingo ; and wo
have the conviction that a small corps of a few
honsand disciplined white soldiers would be fer
fcctly able to put an end to Soalocque's imperial
grandeur, and th: whole negro empire.
Florida Kail Road. —The Florida Nows learns

The road, as our readers may know, is designed to

the work with energy and activity.
EDongh has already been said in onr columns,

Tho National InteUigencer says:—Our Paris ecr
respondent has sent to U 3 by the last steamer the
subjoined despatoh from the Spanish Minister of
Foreign Affairs to the Captain Genaral ot Cuba,
iu relation to a recently discovered oonspiraoy in
tho island. It is ooplod from tho Gazotts of Ma
drid of the 15th of March. W e hopo the reader
will mark the avowals of ths despatch in regard to
the continuance ot slavery in Cuba, and its ex
plicit contradiction to tho often-repeated and slill
insiated-on purpose of the Africanization of tho
Island. The language of the Minister addressed
to the Cortes, which we translated for our paper
from tho Cronica, it might have been said by tho.-o
who do not wish it to be authentic, was misunder
stood; but here is sn official despatch written by
tho Minister by order of the Queen and Govern
ment. Let the readers see what that says:
“Madrid, March 12,1855.
"Excellency : I have laid before hor Msjjsty
your Excellency's despatch of 12:h February last
and the documents thereto annexed, as also tho
verbal explana ions to Government givon by Gen

soiling tho ntme of Spaniards and false to charac

which the otdaot was lo withdraw from Spanish

portions.
“Aa treason, tho blackest of orimoa, oxtinguis

aud which is not only not opposed, but, on the
contrary, isf-vored by tho most laithful respect for

precepts ot humanity of and our loligion.
“The intensity of the pam which hor Majesty
suffsied on being apprized of this crime has been
mitigated by me knowledge (a tact ot which she
did not doubt) that your population iu general has
remained taithful, an J that a largo portion volun
tarily offered to sacrifice, if need no, hlo uii '

The New York Eotning Mirror , of Saturday
says; “Wo witnessed yeßier.ay a mechanical
performance which it will bo somewhat cilii

a younger brother of J. MitchcJ, the patriot,givts

“Washington Irving's Life of Wuahirgtou,” to b:
published in a few days by Messrs. Butman <fc Co.
We have befirro us a couple of pagos in the “first
proof” or th ; s machine work; and it is rotnaikably
free from errors. In iuct, these machines cannot
possibly make a mis-ako, if the porformer upon
them touohes the right keys. We shall not under
take to dvsoube this wonderful labor-taving in
vontion, except briefly and in general terms. It
must be seen at work in order to bo appioo.atod
and admired. The machine is of a Uiangultr
shape, somewhat resembling a grand piano forte,
only not as lar*e. it has a key board correspond
ing to the letters of the alphabet and the ‘punctua
lion marks,’ as the keys of the piano represent
.he various nob s in the scale of music; aud the
work is done by playing upon tho piano lorto.
“This part of the performance is done by girl:’,
who acquire the art with great facility. The letters
are supplied by long golliee, each filled with a sin
gle letter, which require constant replenishing; and
every touch upon mokoy uondo the desired le ter
into along line beneath the machino, from which
it is taken by a compositor, broken into lines to
enit the width of his page or col am u, and justified.
Tho ‘distribution* of the typo ia as ingeniously
managed as the ‘con position;’ but wo cannot an
dormice to describe if. Tins part of tue work, toe,
is done by girls. Mr. Trow in (or ms us that one
of these maoi*inos will do tho work Hi live men ;
and, uter deducting the manual assistance requir

position is an important i eui.
“Mr. Mitehei has devo’od throe years to perfect
ing nis iiivention ; aud, ol course, having a patent
right, secured throughout tue world ot loiters,
will soon make hia fortuno. Hia present price for
tho machine is seven hundred dollars. It iB tuo
opinion of Mr. Trow, who ia one of our most in
tdiligent and artistic practical Printers, that these
machines are eveu bettor adapted for newspaper
composition thau book work; and there is this
advantage about tnem, they never ‘strike’ for
higher wages, never go on sprees, and never como
to their work iace and lazy in tho morning. Wo

and tho “republic of letteis’ on the prospective

The Fete at Paris on Wabiiinoton’b Birthday
—Tho fete given by the Americana in Paris, on
the 22d of February, is said to have been truly a

among those present were the widow of George
Washington Lifayetto, and three grand daughters
of the illustrious friend and companion in crrnß of
Washington, Lor i Elgin and lady and M. Guizot,
the great statesman.
The ball w: s brilliant, and was remarkable on
account of the elegance and costliness of the toi
lettes and tho bet uy of the ladi- s. Tho room w
decorated with the portraits of Waabirpton, Li

alone cost 1,200 francs.
One of the most remarkable features cf the ball,
and a subject of general remark cn tho part of lor

The effect of tho judgment delivered by him ih,

The act of 1834 was declared to be constitutional
