under the form of a treaty mid transfer.
The question presents itself, liovv will this
measure i.fteet the U. States, and what is lire
altei'nalivi'? 4 t!uba, in the bands of the Span
iards, is, and must he harmless to the vari
ous powers in the iiciglilmrliood, because her
resources are all internal, amf their means of
lining injury are circumscribed—far different
would lie the result by placing that valuable
Island in the hands of the Urilish, and in that
event the U. States have much to apprehend.
It is the Key to the fluff of Mexico, nod to
all the great and growing trade of the. west
ern states. From the effect of the trade
winds pressing the waters until they reach
the Florida Gulf, the rapid current from Hie
Gulf of Mexico is produced, and vessels are
compelled to beat to the windward, and by
no other route can they obtain a passage in
to the Atlantic—and the passage oppoisite
the harbor of Havana, between the FlorWas
and the west end of Cuba, is not mure than
i;o miles wide, vessels therefore, leaving ports
in the Gulf of Mexico, La Vera Cruz, Tam
pico, the Mississippi, Pensacola, Alabama,
he. must pass the West end of Cuba. All
the commerce of that portion of country is
thrown inevitably in the power of any na
lion holding that Key, and a great naval
power like the British, may close the Gulf
of Mexico and Florida, stopping the trade
and prosperity of the west and south, and
hemming ua in on all sides. It will he to the
British what the Sound is in iln- Danes, and
fees may he exacted, and licences issued for
egress and ingress, to the great Gulfs, the
same as the little and great Belts in the Bal
tic. From Havana, Matan/.as, kc. British
manufactures may he spread throughout the
Spanish Maine and South America, while
the revenue of Cuba, upwards of four milli
ons and a half of dollars, will be equivalent
to all the expenses of garrisons, troops, kc.
Our limits will not enable us to point out
half tlie evils which we, as a nation, have
to apprehend from Great Britain posses
sing that Island. It is neither consistent
with our interests nor our policy, that
we should possess it, but as the Spanish na
tion environed by troubles, can no longer ex
ereise a sovereignty over hn colonies, and
as a transfer to a power of a difl'erent lan
guage, genius and religion, cannot beaccept-
alile to the citizens of Cuba, the example
and the alternative are left of declaring them
selves sovereign and independent, coming
under the Colombian Government as a dis
tinct and representative state, or erecting
themselves into a free government at once,
adopting a constitution, passing just and
wholesome law’s, exercising a mild, but firm
jurisdiction—permitting no excesses to be
committed on persons and property, and
placing that valuable spot in a prosperous
condition, calculated to excite general con
fidence. It is their duty and their interest to
take this step, and Cuba is in the neighbor

The candor of the subjoined editori
al remarks, from the last Augusta Chroni
cle, is the more conspicuous from the circum
stance, that the present editor of that paper,
(Win. J. Hobby, Esq.) now is, as he ever lias
been, since the formation of the parties term
ed democratic and federal, opposed to Mr.
Crawford in politics :
“ The address of the young men of Au
gusta to President Adams, which was sign
ed by Win. II. Crawford, Esq. as one of the
committee whodreivit up,at a time when cir
cumstances indicated a rupture to tween the
United States and France, lias latterly been
published and animadverted upon as though
this instrument was unequivocal evidence
of Mr. Crawford’s political opinions at the
particular time when this nddiess was pre
pared. Ordinary candor, we presume,
would admit, that the general test of any indi
vidual’s political opinions could not he cun-
lusiiely inferred from such a circumstance.

pursued by the infuriate leaders in wliat was

sinned to be hastening to an open war Im-
tween this country and France; and how
ever great the diversity of sentiment existing
between our own citizens might have been
as to the management of their own affairs,
it was important to evidence to the world,
that, ivlien the crisis arrived that it became
necessary to settle any differences between
the U. States and a foreign nation, by an
appeal lo arms, there would then be a unani
mity of council and exertion at home,— "II

therefore, when we were apparently on the
eve of a war with France, addresses from all
quarters, and from persons of different poli
tical feeling in other respects, were sent to
the President, assuring linn of all the sup
port the interest of the nation required,—
in the same manner as when in the attack
on the Chesapeake, addresses were sent to
Mr. Jefferson, assuring him of "a unanimous
determination to support him in the course
lie might take to secure reparation for that
outrage.”
Foil THE RECORDER.
Holly Springs, i7th March, 1023.
Gentlemen—Absence, by reason of i.ulis-
pensible engagements, must excuse ni>* to
your correspondent from the Second Wind,
for not sooner noticing his illiberal and uu-
eourtly censure of our most worthy Inter.-
dant and Commissioners—forsooth, the gen
tleman I presume is not one of them, nor
have they, ns perforce they should have done,
taken the advice of this sapient worthy.—
He talks about our taxes, and intimates thul
they have not been properly expended, lie-
cause the street before Ins door has not been
gravelled—tell the Goth, if you please, that
the hands have not been employed more
than a week in sanding the yard of our must
praiseworthy and active little Marshal.
is pleased to he in a pas-ion because
the Market-house is not finished—if lie were
not the most unreasonable man in the world,
he would recollect that the Cupola, (which
is certainly destined to he a lasting ornament
to our town, and render it worthy the ap
pellation of a city) is nearly completed, and
that it is little more than five months since it
was begun; he sneeriogly asked what honest
mechanic has the building of it—to put him
to shame at once, I ivhl tell him. it is our
worthy Intcn.lant, who has pledged himself,
as I understand to tlie board, that il shall be
completed by November. It is, I believe,
understood by some, that last November was
the time; but in this 1 apprehend they a
grossly mistaken, for it will be recollected
that the work has not been on hand 111
than a year, and that it was absolutely ne
cessary the brick work should have time to
settle, and that unless the wood work w is
cautiously put up, it would he subject to llu
dry rot, and that in less than two centuries
not a vestage of our Market w ould remain,
and the seat of government would he remov
ed to Macon, w here they have level ground
wide streets, and an extensive public square,
like Goldsmith’s dinner table. “ with a plan
in the middle, w here the pudding was not.”
Before I quit your man of t he Second
Ward, (who 1 sivpect to he a radical) I can
not forbear informing him, that our police is
placed on a footing above compare; our lit
tie Marshal(with a salary of ghaO) during thr
day, (except when the courts demand bis at
tention) patrols the public houses, with n
long black whip and red silk cracker, (and is
really an adept in politics) and by nine
night the curlew tolls to warn any rascally
thief or villainous runaway, that if he does
not look sh"i|>, the patrol who is just start
ing out will be iqnm him, and that be had
best lie close till three in the morning, wuen
the said patrol retires to root.

INFORMATION WAN lEl).
Rumours are afloat, and we fear more
than rumours, that our gnynrnmcnt have
received official inlormatton from our
Ministers abroad, that it is the settled
determination of the English Ministry lo
take possession of the Island nf Cuba.—
\Vp. know that the last despatches that
were received, were enclosed in an en
velope, endorsed very important intelli
gence. Tzeo cabinet councils Ituvc been
held since the reception of those despatch
es, and nothing has transpired sines they
have broken up. On this subject, the
National I nlelligencer preserves a guard
ed and ominous silence. Our govern
ment il is perfectly well known, would
not suffer’Cuba to pass under English
jurisdiction, with their consent and it is
strongly suspected, that this question
has occupied two cabinet councils. We
are perhaps nearer thsin ni.lriy are aware,
of being concerned, not as neutrals, but
as parties in the ensuing contests nt Eu
rope. Is (here any other question grow
ing out of the present hostile: attitude ol
Europe, that could so directly affect tlie
interest of America ? Culm is lo the
