Havana, 10/A June.— 1 There ie notfiing
now horn. The expedition is fitting out ra
pidty and will sail from this between the laL,
and 5th of tho next month. Its destinatio^
is still k'opt a secret although the preeump*
tion is that Camprnchy is the paint, end I
am myself inclined to believo it, from the
smell force that goes. The expedition is to
consietofalion of battle ship, two frigates
and one oi two brigs with fivo or six lerge
transports. These latter are all Amoricons
chartered by the government for tho purpose,
and aro to carry from 3000 to 3500 troops
only, under tho command ofGon. Barradaa.
So it ie not likely that with so small a force,
they can have in viow any thickly settled
provinoo or strongly fortified place,, unless
they are acting in concert with some of tho
Generals of the opposite side. This wee
mentioned to moos a fact, and indoed the
lateness of the season and the small scale
upon which tho expedition is mado, would
ilmoat justify the belief of such a report,

The Attorney General.—Wo noticed Borne
timo since, an article in some ofthe pubiio pa
pers, relative to the appointment ofthe Alter
ney General, and then asoeitained from ut 1
questionable authority, that tbe statement of
Goo. R. K. Call in the article alluded to, was
founded in misapprehension. On the same
•utbority we now stole, that the President iB

by the Attorney General on the occasion re
ferred lo. who, by e frank communication of
his having professional engagements for indi
viduals claiming in opposition to the U S.,
threw the wliolo subject open to-ony inquires
which tbe President thought proper to make.

tbo President has not. at any lime, consider
ed the exit.tonce of theeo professional engage
ments, as presenting any obstacle to tile ap
pointment ofthe gentleman now boidiug the

It is proper to stale, that Mr Wirt, who

ofthe U S., has been retained by iha execu

From tbe Memoir of Mr. Jefferson, the
Richmond Enquirer copies the following ex
trajit. wilb which the first volume opens ne
germaine to the present times, and porticu*
larly worthy of the consideration of the
friends of tbe present Tariff Mr. J. is ex
plaining the causes which produced our pre
sunt Constitution, and the great principle
which presided at its formation :
14 It is not by the consolidation, or concen
tration of powers, but by their distribution,
that good government is effected. Were not
this greet country already, divided into stales,
that division must be made, that each mipht
do for itself what concerns, itself directly &
what it onu so much bettor do than a distant
authority Every state again is divided into
counties,each to take care of what lies with
in it* local bounds ; each ooubty again into
towships or warde.to manege minuter details;
nnd every ward into farms, to bo governed
by its individual proprietor. Were wo di
rected from Washington when to sow. and
u»ben to reap, we should soon want bread.—
It is by this partition of cares, descending in
gradation from great to particular, that the
mass of human affairs may be best managed,
for the good and prosperity of all.”
44 Thr Times Our citizens are startled
at the pressure of tbe tirnos, if not without
cause, at least, beyond all reason. The fail
ures wliich have recently taken place have
so shaken the confidence of the community,
that credit has become more scarce thai
cash itself. The storm wliich has been for
soma time gathering, has at lenglith burat
upon us, and we confidently hope the sever-
enj part of it has passed over.- Tbe manu
facturing interests of this town will not be
materially injured by the effects of the times.
The hard times aro pnrifyers, to restore to
Us a better and a nfbre wholesome business.
It is probable that for some time to nome, the
profits of business muBt be "small; traders &
‘manufacturers must makr up their minds to
endure such a state of things, 8f shape their
course accordingly They should com
mence immediately in their business and liv
ing not theoretically, but practically, a rigid
and judicious system of economy. Without
this no business can prosper. It is easy to
talk and write in favor of economy; thp
practice of it.issometimos extremely difficult;
yet to it we must come at last.
Providence Journal.,
Tho President's answer to tbe memorial
requesting an extraordinary mission to the
French Government, to enforce our old
claims, meets I believe with general approba
tion. It ib in keeping with the firm, but pa
cific policy adopted by tho Governrrieut in
relation to our foreign affairs, and does not
even conjectuvally, Took forward to the hos
tile alternative suggested by the memorialists.
,In the ordinary money transactions of men
time generally softens the asperity of resent-
meiit, which the first moment of a loss occa
does against debt. It appeared to mo there
fore, anomalous that the quietude which had
suffered twenty years of popular and dipfo•
natlic administrations to pass away, should
kindle up so suddenly into flame. It is not
a less striking characteristic of this new
warmth, that many who profess to feci it, end
are urgent that Gen. Jackson should “gird
himself to the battle,” were very hostile to
his election, under the alleged fear, that his
high bearing and hend strong spirit would
plunge us into war. The propriety of embar-
aBsing an administration, on its very thresh
old, by dictating, under the sanction of popu
lar meetings, the course to be pursued io our
foreign affairs, may not have occurred to
some of the memorialists. By dispassionate
and disinterested men it will be thought ill
judged. To some it appears in a more un
friendly light, and by many it is thought that
the intemperance of the appeal has not its
ground work in sincerity.
Evening Pott.
of June, a young woman arrived io Kingston,
claiming to be the wife of a Mr. Willis, e
Portrait Painter: but he refused to recog
nize ber as such, and advised her fe> return to
Rochestor, whence she had come. Mortified
and heartbroken with his coldness and bru
tality—for she bad travelled alone and un
protected through many towns of Canada io
search of him—she next ovening procured
sorao arsenic, and poisoned herself on Sunday
morning. She lived for a few minutes only
afier taking the arsenic. The testimony on
the coroner's inquest proved tkat her maiden
namo was Laura Button—that she had been
a milliner in Rochester—that Willis married
her in the spring of last year, after an ac
quaintance of two or thrde days—and that, a
few days after marriage,be set off for Canada,
taking with him part of her clothing, &c
and promising to return or send for her.—
After wailing a considerable time, without
hscring from him, she departed in search of
him aod her fate on finding him was as above
stated. Her funeral was attended by
number of Canadians and Americans,'“all in
dignant at the inhuman conduct of her hus
band.
