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.

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.

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.” Inquest.—Coroner Eden was yesterday called to hold an inquest over the body of Patrick Burns, in this city, late a fireman on tho Central Railroad.

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.

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.

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.

This attempt, howev- meuoement of this century, of Louisiana, by volup-'! er, was also nscloss, irom tho fact that tho tldo was tary cession from Spain. These two powers,by their j loweing at the time, Odd that these openings were soon 1 — i- *•— * •*— -*•“—'.•1*1 above tho water mark. In the meantime tho firemen bad not been idle.

Thus, If tho object of tho United States wore to bar tho acquisition of Cuba by any European State, this convontion would secure that object. Rut if it I* intended, on the part of tho United States, to maintain that Great Britain nnd France havo no interest in tho maintenance of tbo present dfatu* quo in Ouba, and that tho United States have alono a right to a voice in that matter, her Majesty’s government at onco refose to admit snch a claim.— Her Majesty’s possessions in tho West Indies alone, ing on overy part of tho burning vessel, and numbers wont on board to save the cargo, if posslblo from de struction.

There is ono argument of tho United States Secre tary of State which appears to her Majesty’s govern ment not only unfounded bnt dUquieting. Lord MahncBbury and M. do Turgot put forward, as a reason for entering into tho proposed compact. " tho attacks which havo lately been made on tho isl and of Cuba by lawless bands of adventurers from tho United States, nnd with tho avowed design of taking possession of that island.” To this reason Mr. Everett replies in these terms: 44 The President is convinced that tho conclusion of sucli a treaty, in stead of putting a stop to these lawless proceedings, would give a now ami powerful impulse to thorn.’’ Tho governmout of Great Britain acknowledges 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.

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 fire, the flames and smoke issuing from all directions, 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 stream, with a view to souttling her, failed, os sho was stuck fast In the mud. Sho carried some of hor coal aft of the wheel, and it is said that to this fact 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 was thon covered to its oxtronio end, on cither sido, with a crowd of people, tho ranks of which wore reg ularly filled by fresh nrrivala every half hour. Tho upper decks of the steamer Republic aud tho other boats lying at the pior wore crowded with hundred* of people; and as their anxious countenances were reflected by the light from the burning vessel, the ef fect was grand, but very saddening, Every ono ex pressed tho greatest regret for tiio loss of sucli a fa vorite steamer.

That in tho opinion of this meeting the Central Railroad Company do not wish to impose rules and regula tions upon tho merchants of this city, which prove ohnox- Ioub and burthensomo, ns their prosperity is identical; and we beliovo that a proper representation on the part or the merchants will meet with a respectful consideration by the directors and officers of the company.

I am, &c., J. Russell. 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.
