• The letter of tdrd Joum Itosmi. to the British Min-
•trier at Washington, In reply toMr.Bvnwnw’8 letter,
bl the lat of December last, declining, on the part of
the United BUtea, to beoome a party to the proposed
treaty relatlro to Cuba, and whloh la published In
our paper of this day, has doubtless attracted tho
trader’s attention. As a reply to tho letter of the
'JUnerkiui Secretary, It UImpotent, puerile; as a
Btate paper, undignified; and as an apology for tho
modest request or England and Franco on us to tlo
our bands now and for all Umo to como, In roferoiioo
to a question of domeatlo safety to tho American
Union, It Is Insulting. We do not profess approba
tion of OTory part of Mr. Evncrr’s lotter, as, for in-
atanoe, where he eays that" for domestic reasons the
President (Fauroaa) thinks that tbo incorporation
of the island into the Union at tho present Umo,
(December, 1863,) although effected by the consent
of Spain, would be a hasardoos measure.” Oar bo
lief is, that the time never was, as we hope it never
will be, when the annexation of Cuba would bo haz
ardous to the peaoe of ithls country. Its annexation
to a foreign government oertalnly would bo so; and,
to our mind, there might arise contingencies In
which the Independence of Cuba would bo little loss
no. The British Secretary evidently feds and smarts
tinder the force of Mr. Evkrett’8 objections to the
Tripartite treaty, and would, so far as his letter pro
tends to argue the questions, have done as well by
preserving a dogged sllenoe. The modest proposition
of England and France to the United States, which
has oalled forth this correspondence, was contained
substantially In the following portion of the proposed
convention;
** The high contracting parties hereby, severally and eol-
leotlvely, disclaim, now and for hereafter, all Intention to ob
tain possession of the laland of Cuba, and they respectively
Mwd themaelree to discountenance all attempta to that
effect on the part of any power or Individuate whatever.
The high contracting parties declare, eerorally and collect-
I rely, that they will not obtain or maintain for thomeelree,
or any ona of themselves, any exclusive control over the
said island, nor assume nor exercise any dominion ovor tho
* Tbo acquisition by honest purcbaak'of suoh territo
ry as Uio growing wants of tho nation may require,
®U>**K^pS,nf mVriX .pon.tt. rijjSUl
property therein, nnd with the unqualified right in
the citizens “ - “*
“Now and for hereafter”—that is, henceforth and
forever—under no possible state of affisirs, involving
tho foreign polioy or the domestlo tranquility of the
American Union, are the United States to “ obtain or
maintain exclusive control over the said island, or
fmunmw or exorcise any dominion over the Bame ’’!—
In order to gUd the pill, the two other high contract
ing powers were, to bo bound to tbo samo abstlnonco
from cither 41 obtaining or maintaining.” Bnt how
different the relative position of these European pow
ers and that of this country 1 Apart from the politi
cal reasons which should ever keep the United States
from entering Into 44 entangling alliances ” with any
foreign power, and more especially from permitting
the Monarchies of Europe to exerclso further influ
ence In the affaire of tho Western Hemisphere, thore
Is a domestlo reason which forbids tbo idea of English
or Frenoh influence in the aflhire of Cuba which no
American statesman can fail to recognise. Neither
England nor France has anything to fear from a
ohange In the domestlo relations of Cuba. Tho pres
ent condition of their West India possessslons is a
speaking illustration of what would take place in
Cuba if British and Frenoh influences are to be felt
there. Tho British Minister is not far out of tho way,
then, when ho supposes that tho United States are
disposed to maintain tho 44 doctrine that the United
States have an interest in Cuba to which Great Brit
ain and France cannot pretend.” It may bo true that
Jamaica is as near as the Capo of Florida to Cuba,
bnt neither the "status quo in Cuba,” of which bo
speaks, nor tbs status of the Southern States of this
Union Ib identical with that of Jamaica, or any other
portion of tho British and French West Indies.—
Heaven forbid that it should be so. Whilst, there
fore, neither the present nor any future condition of
the internal affairs of .Cuba can injuriously affoct the
possessions of Great Britain and France, ttabso two
powers may safely, and with an aflbotation of great
generosity, sty: 44 Well, wo are ready voluntarily to
declare, severally and oollectively, that wo will not
obtain or maintain any exclusive'Control over tho
said island of Cuba,” etc., etc. Out with such cant!
We really believe the Secretary’s despatch to Mr.
Cbaxpton would have been a model of its kind, if,
instead of pretending to anBwor tho arguments of Mr.
Everett, be had embodied the whole in tho first and
last paragraphs, as follows:
It is doubtleu perfectly within the competence of the
Amorlcan government to reject the proposal that was mado
by Lord Malmesbury and M. Turgot, in referenco to Cuba.
Each government will then remain as frea as It was boforo
to take that oourse whloh Its sense of duty and a regard for
tho interests of its people mav proscribe.
Finally, whlio fully admitting the right or tho Unllod
States to reject the proposal that was ma>To by Lord Malmes
bury and M. de Turgot. Great Britain must at once resuino
her entire liberty; ana upon any occasion that may call
for It, be free to act either singly or in conjunction with
other powers, as to her may seem fit.
There would then havo been Borne meaning in it.—
The United States will do as they please, and Great
Britain as sho pleases J Wo venture to predict, how
ever, that in doing as sho pleases, she will never
44 resume her entire liberty ” so far as to go to war
with the United States abont Cuba. Whilst England
will havo her hands full in managing hor European,
East India and American possessions—to Bay nothing
of her public debt—tbo United States will peacefully
and quietly mind their own business, and at the proper
tlmo receive into thoir arms tho Queen of tho Antilles,
when, 11 liko a ripe applo, sho is ready to drop.” In
tho language of the same Senator (Mr. Mason, of
Va.,) from whom this similo is borrowed, wo bcllcvo
the question of the annexation of Caba is " only a
question or time.” And wo bolievo further, that this
annexation will bo effected peaceably, without any
14 lawless attempts,” of which Lord John Russell
expresses snoh horror, “ and that,” to use his own
language, 41 the citizons of the United States, whilo
they justly boast of their institutions, will not be in
sensible to tho valao of thoso eternal laws of right
and wrong, of peace and friendship, and of dnty to
onr neighbors, which ought to guldo every Christian
nation.”

WASHINGTON, AUg. 20,1853,
Tho President Is now understood to havo positively
decided not to keep bis original intention of appoiut-
ing Mr. Dix to tho French mission. Hon. B. F. Cut
ting, of Now York, a distinguished lawyer, and n
mombor eleot to the next Congress, is spoken or for
the plaoo, and is quite likely to secure It. Ho was in
Washington a few days since, had a conference with
tho President on Tuesday last, and left the same eve
ning for New York. Ho is understood to have inti
mated that he will accept tho appointment if tender
od: but I am not able to vouch for tho latter state
ment. The Cabinet had a meeting to-day, but, as
Mr. Morey did uot attend, it is not likely that tho
mission in question was subject of discussion.
Tho Hon. Hiram Walbridge, of New York, is now
In this city, and it is understood is about making a
trip to California prior to tho meeting of Congress,
partly for pleasure, but more to inform himself with
referenco to the condition, resources and prospects of
that country, that bo may be able to vote intelligently
next winter, when tho i'aciflo railroad, China steam-
lines, and other projects looking to a closer union
with our Pacific possessions, and tho development of
a now commerco with Asia, Bhall como up for discus
sion. Mr. Walbridge is an eminently practical mau,
and bids fair to mako an ofllolcnt aud a useful mem

Tbo Latest from Washington.
Wasuinoton, Aug. 20,8 P. M.
Wo havo reason to bolievo that Lord John Russell’s
letter relative to the proposition for a tripartite treaty,
has been answered by Mr. Mnrcy in a manner which
will not only convinco tho English Secretary of State
of his want of correct geographical knowledge as to
tho distance between tho United States and Cuba,
but also of tho fact that any combinations of Euro
pean powers by which this country may be nearly or
remotely affected, will not bo regarded with indiffer
ence. we are further of opinion that tho truly Ame
rican doctrino enunciated uy Mr. Everett iu his cele
brated Btato papor In reply to Messrs. Crompton and
Rartiges, has been ondorsed and emphasized by the
present administration "to the fullest extent. From
S ircaont appearances, whilst no disposition is muni-
ested to assumo a hostile attitude ou tiio part of our
government, it is evident that if tho threat of Lord
John Russell, that Great Britain is free to act singly
or in conjunction with other powers, as to her may
Boom lit, means that sho will onter into combinations
to thwart tho policy of tho United States, that there
will bo no hesitation on tho part of President Picrco
in protecting the interests and honor of tho country.
It looks squally.
Tho mission to Franco is yet unfilled,bnt tho mat
ter will probably bo decided in a few days. If it had
beon supposed probable that General Cass would ac
cept tho position, tbo President would gladly havo
availod himself of his great ability and cxpericnco in
the present critical state of Europe. It is understood
tho mission has been tendered to Mr. Cobb, and now
awaits that gontleman’s acceptance.
Congress recently authorized tbo Secretary of tho
Interior to examino aud adjudicates tho claims of
certain Choctaw Indians to land scrip. Several class
es of r'laims are pressed on tho attention of tho de
partment—in all. Home eight or nine hundred,amount
ing to about ono hundred nnd sovonty thousand acres
of land. Tho Secretary, however, has decided that
but one, and that a very aranll class, is referred to
him hy Congress for examination, and that ho will
adjudicate no other. This spoils quite a largo job.
Tho ammunition, Ac., sent to tho RioGranuo, about
which suoh an exciting articlo is published in a Now
York papor, is merely tho necessary and usunl sup
ply furnished the number of soldiers now'on the fron
tier, and has no referenco to hostilities, which are
not anticipated in that quarter.
Mma Meeting ot Kingston.
Wo tako pleasure in calling tho attention of tho
friends of tho presout Administration, nnd of Demo
cratic principles to the fact that a Maas Meeting of
tho Democracy of Upper Georgia, will tuko place on
tho 0th of September, at Kiugston. Let it be a good,
old fashioned rally, sucli os shall cheer the hearts of
patriots every where, and ho an assurance to tho coun
try, that Georgia stands steadfast to her democratic
faith. Let it show that our nobio State stands ready
to follow tho bright example of her neighboring sis
ters, Alabama and Tenncssoo, which havo recently so
nobly manifested their reliance upon democratic prin
ciples, and their unshaken confidence iu our patriotic
President. Lot her show that sho knows how to valuo
a President, whoso whole liio is an unbroken his
tory of fidelity to every interest gurantied by the
Constitution. Let her show that, while the party
that sustains him, in tho samo magnanimous spirit
thoy displayed in elevating him to his present respon
sible position, is growing strongor everywhereelso In
tho South, the people of Georgia will not bo the first
to desert him at the bidding of a restless and unsta-
bled faction whoso principles change to suit every uow
exigency that holds out a chance of party succcbs.—
Let Georgia Btand firmly hy her democratic siBters,
North aud South, and withered will bo tho lost hopo
of Southern demagogues, of keeping up the slavery
agitation as a means of restoring a vicious party or
ganization, condemned by tho voice of tho American
people.
It is to bo hoped that tho mountain democracy
will bo out in their strength at Kington—that all
who can come from distant points, will be there to re
joice with them in the present ascendency of our prin
ciples, and to exchange plodges with each other, of
ronowod efforts to sustain them.
Kingston is a placo of pure air, pure water, and in
a region of hardy nnd virtuous citizeus. Amplo ar
rangements are on footfor a bountiful barbecue, and
to secure able and popular speakers for tho occasion.
It will bo an occasion, where tho Blandcrs heaped by
tho foes of democratic principles, upon tho heads
aliko of President Pierce, and Judge Johnson, our
f iuro and talented candidate for Governor, will bo ro
uted—tho measures and policy of tho Domocratio
party, vindicated, and the motives of thoir tradacere
unmasked.—Augusta Constitutionalist,23c/.

with respect the conduct of tho President iu disavow
ing and discouraging tho lawless attempts here re
ferred to. Tho character of those attempts, Indeed,
was such as to excite the reprobation of every civil
ized State. The spectacle of bands of men collected
together in reckless disregard of treaties, for tho pur
pose of making from tho ports of tho United StatcBa
piratical attack on tho territory of a power in amity
with their own State; and when there, endeavoring
by armed invasion to excite tho obedient to revolt
and tbo tranquil to disturbance, was aHight shocking,
no doubt, to the lust and honest principles of the
President. But tho statement made by tho Presi
dent, that a convention duly Bignod and legally rati
fied, engaging to respect the present state of posses
sion in all future tTtnerwoula but excite these bands
of pirates to more violent breaches of all the laws of
honesty and good neighborhood, is a melancholy
avowal for tho chief of a great State. Without dis
puting its truth, her Majesty’s government may ex
press a hone tlmt this state of tilings will not endure,
and that tho citizons of the United States, while they
justly boost of their institutions, will uot be insensi
ble to tho value of thoso eternal laws of right and
wrong, of pcnco and friendship, and of duty to our
neighbors, which ought to guido every Christian na
tion.
Nor can a people bo enlightened fail to percoivo tho
utility of thoso rules for tno observance of interna
tional relations which for ccnluricB havo boen known
to Europo by tho namo of the law of nations. Among
tho commentators on that law, somo of tho most dis
tinguished American citizens have earned an envia
ble reputation, and it is difficult to suppose that the
United States would sot tho examplo of abrogating
its most sacred provisions.

that was thrown out.
At half-past nine o’clock tho smokoplpe caved in,
foiling with a crash, nnd abont ten o'clock the fore
most bogan to show symptoms of falling, being con
siderably inclined from its right position. The main
mast was in tho samo condition, and, in addition to
horning below, their tops bad caught fire, the flames
from which resembled at a distance clear lights on
tho masts, such as are sometimes used by vosselsat
sea In coming into harbor. At a quarter past ten
the rudder ropes were burned away, and from this
timo the fire had got such headway that there was
not the slightest chanco of saving her at nil. Tho
efforts oi the firemen were now directed to tho forepart,
whore it was stated that tho specie had beon stowed;
bnt there appeared no probability of saving it, tho
wholoship, from stem to atom, being ono largo bon

and it was oxpectcd when onr reporter left that she
would edntinuo burning nil night. Unfortunately,
there was' blowing a rather stifT breeze from tho south
east. which aided in keeping up tho conflagration,
fanning the flamo as a bellows, so that the water plav-
od upon the fire was of very little service. In addi
tion to this must be considered tho nature of tho ma
terial, wood, and tho large quantity of combustible
merchandise on board, inclnding a large quantity of
oil, which added fresh fool continually to tho destruc
tive clement.
Every effort to movo tho Cherokee ont into tho

was stuck fast In the mud. Sho carried some of hor

may bo attributed tho great strength of the fire in
that portion of the vessel. About twelvo o’clock last
night it was thought that a largo portion of tho dry
goods which had been shippod were burning, as tho
flamo was very dear and fitful, sinking for a moment
and then rising to an increased height. Tho Pier

MR. ORAUPTON TO THE EARL OP CLARENDON.
[Extract.]
Washington, April 18,1853.
In obodicnce to tho instruction contained in Lord
John Russell's dispatch of tbo 21st February, I have
read to tho Secretary of State of tho United States,
and placed In his hands a copy of his lordship’s dis
patch, of tho 10th of that month, upon tho subject of
Cuba.
My French colleague having also received instruc
tions from his government to communicate to tiio gov
ernment of the United Btates, a dispatch upon tho
Bamo subject, and very much to tho sainocffuct.it
wrs agreed between us that wo should, ns upon for
mer occasions, in regard to tills matter, mako our
communications simultaneously; and wo accordingly
waited upon Mr. Marcy together for that purpose, on
tho 10th lust.
Mr. Marcy, after having listened attentively to what
M. de Snrtiges and myself read to him, said that he
would submit the observations of the two govern
ments to tho President s and remarked thut several
weeks might probably elapse before any reply would
bo addressed to us, even should tho l'residont be of
opinion, which Mr. Mnrcy seemod to think doubtful,
that any further discussion of tho matter between the
two governments was desirable.
It wonld, ho addod, of courso bo necessary for him
again to read over tiio despatches, in ordor to com
prehend their full import; bnt as far as ho could now
judge, tho opinion of tho two governments seemed to
coincide in referenco to two points, viz: tbo ono that
tho right of the United States to decline tho propo
sals made to them by tho English and French govern
ments was admitted; the other, that some of tho gen
eral positions taken by Mr. Everett in his note or 1st.
December, 1852. appeared to thoso governments to
render a protest against them on thoir part necessary,
lest it might hereafter bo inferred tbattboso positions
bad boon acquiesced in by them.
We replied that, without protending to point out
to Mr. Marcy what further step ho was or was not to
take in this matter, tho object which our respective
( [overnmonta had in view seemed to ns to bo general-
y, such as he had stated it, and that wo, for our part,
considered the discusslonof tho subject closed by tbo
communication which we bad jostmade.
Mr. Marcy appeared to receivo our observations in
a conciliator? manner, and concluded by expressing
this could occaratsuch an early hour. Returning
from a short walk, ho saw it increase, and at tlmt
moment tho alarm was given, and tho engines ini-
modiatolv poured down. This gentleman was posi
tive tlmt there was not a man on tho deck or tho
Cherokee at either timo when he saw tho smoke, and
he inferred that at tkid particular moment sho was
not well watched; a.statement for tho truth of which
wo do not hy any means vouch, but mention tho fact
Just as he narrated it to a crowd. Ail aorta of rumors
were afloat at a late hour. Tho ship waa in a sheet
of flame at the moment of onr lost reports, but the
firemen still worked on, and they did not think that
tho flames would bo controlled or oxhausted before
tills morning. Tho reflection of the flames from tho
clear bine sky caused intenso alarm to tho people liv
ing along the Jeraoy shore, as they imagined that a
large portion of the shipping was on fire.
A Revolutionary Soldier in Jail.—James Me-
Donnell, aged 105 years, was committed to tho Wayne
county jailon Tuesday evening, charged with vagran-
oy and drunkenness. Ho was found lying in the
street after 9 o'clock at night. Mr. A. 8. Johnson, tho
jailor, has furnished us with McDonnell’s history, as
glvcu by that individual himself. Ho was born in
Glasgow, Scotland, In 1748, and camo to this coun
try, nt tiio ago of 19 veara, as a soldier iu the British
army. Ho continued in that service nntil after tbo
commencement of the Revolution, nnd was at tbo
battle of Lexington, at which timo he held tho post
of sergeant, and fought against tho Colonists, though
not, bo said, with a good will. 8oon after that battlo
he went over to the causo of liberty, os he called it,
taking with him a large number or his British com
rades. He remained in the Amorlcan arrav until tho
close of tho war, during which ho was In sixteen bat
tles—was’ honorably discharged, and settled soon af
ter in Richmond, Va..where bo h&srosidud ever since,
with the exception of the tbreo years of tho war of
1812, daring which timo he acted as a volunteer in
the American Army. Ho waa at tho batttio of
Bridgewater, under General Scott, whore ho was se
verely wounded ; and returned homo to Richmond as
soon as his wonnds would permit him to do so. Mr.
Johnson says ho has complete confldcnco in tho old
man’s statements, on account of tho minuteness with
which ho gives the details. Notwithstanding his
great age he is as straight as a candle, and os nimble
os a boy, and goes through with the infantry drill aud
brond-Bword excrciso in a masterly manner. Ho is
quite a curiosity.— Detroit paper, 19th.
