a reoonnoissance and was met by four strong squadrons of j
Russian cavalry. Notwithstanding the and isproportion of j
numbers, an obstinate struggle ensued. At last, hard;
pressed, Skender Beg was compelled to letrent, retiring j
slowly and lighting inch by inch of ground, in this al. !
lair the Russians lost about 30 men. The Tartars made
live prisoners ; but they afterwards tscaped.
Skender Beg had only 11 men killed and 2 wounded, |
hut he himself received a very severe wound. He re- ‘
<vived a sabre cut on his right hand which damaged 3 j
lingers and rendered amputation* of the 4ih neets ary ; I
he also received the thrust of a lance near ihe heart; but
the most curious wound was a cut across his forehead.—
No fears are, however, entertain of saving the life of this
brave and dashing cavalry officer.
The fortifications of Kupatoria are being carried on with !
great activity, and will soon be terminated.
Skender Beg or Iskender Big is a Pole, and ranks as j
one of the best cavalry officers in the Turk sh service.— l
Selim Pacha, who was killed in the action of the 17th at !
Eupaloria, was the brave Mameluke who, at the time of!
the massacre of that corps by the order of Meherned Ali, j
sprang his horse over the walls of Cairo.
The first division of the Baltic fleet, the flying squad- ;
roll, as it is called, has sailed. So we shall shortly have
lighting in th it quarter. The Russians have sunk a ship
.. ] a Sebastopol, in front of Cronstadt. Old Admiral
Dundonnald is again before the public. He remains firm
in his statement that he can destroy all the Baltic forts
and Sebastopol if the English government will but give
him a curie blanche.

The President and Cabinet on the Cuban
Question.
Washington, April 13.
The Cabinet meetings continue to be the subject of re
mark, and something “very mysterious” is apparent in
the President’s frequent conferences with his War and
\avy Ministers. A ‘'speck of war” is visible to the na
ked eye, and may show iiseif in a thunder cloud, after
the San Jacinto shall have had time, with her new ma.
cliinery, toget within hail of a Spanish ship of war.
The President, it is believed, takes upon himself the
responsibility of the orders, whatever they may be, that
Rave been given to Capt. McCauley. He is probably
ordered to blow out of the water the Spanish cruisers and
their British consorts, also, in resentment of the Spanish
assumption of a right tv* hail our vessels and ask for their
papers, and inquire whether thc-y are on piratical or com
mercial errand. This Spanish pretension and practice is
assumed to be equivalent to the exercise of a right of
search, which as advocates of the freedom of the seas,
we do not concede to any power, upon any pretense what
ever.
The intelligence expected by the government from
Havana, via Charleston probably relates to the exercise
by the Spanish authorities of this l ight of search, or rath
er of visiting and detaining our vessels. Thu United
States Consul, has of course, had a conference with the
authorities on that subject, and the result has been com
municated to our .government. The determination of
the Spanish Government to presist in this practice
is. therefore, known, and the issue on paper is already
made. It remains only to bring the question to the test
of force.
Some appear to think that the sinking by Capt Me®
Cauley, of a few Spanish vessels of war with his big
Paixhans, will not invite war as a consequence.—
It will, nevertheless. It will depend upon Congress
whether it be carried on with the whole <f the power of
the country or not, and th y wall probably say not.
The expectation of the intelligence from the destined
war stations of the actual destruction already by any of
our ships, of the offending Spanish guerda di cosla , will
be disappointed. The orders leading to such an event
have been issued and are in Commodore McCauley ? s
pocket. But he will not fail very soon to fulfill 1 public
expectations and the wishes of the government on the
subject.
Propositions are said to be making for equipping for
the Gulf service the largest fleet that we ever sent to sea.
It will require a very respectable fleet to follow up the is
sue which one single vessel may make. Spain appears to
have expected, and has certainly prepared for a war with
the United States.
She expected an attempt, on our part, to seize Cuba,
and is, no doubt, prepared for that attempt. George San
ders thinks the President will soon lose the prospect of
faking Cuba, by the preliminary warning which Capt,
McCauley’s rattlers will give of the intended attack.—
Me shall soon have stirring news from the Gulf. lon
ihe Origin of the Race Horse in England. —Col.
Pratt in a recent lecture on “Ilorse flesh,” gives the fol
lowing interesting account of the first horse race in Eng
land : “hiving Childers,” was the first native born Eng
lish race horse, and the progenitor of the now unequalled
English horse for the race course. He was the immedi
ate descendant ot an Arabian horse,obtained from Alep
po, and ns he was the first, so he was the fastest horse
ever in England. lie ran over a race course three miles,
in Nx minutes and forty seconds. At another time he
inn four miles in seven minutes, and within one single
minute ran within a small fraction of an English mile.—
his speed has never quite been equalled in this country,
the fastest horse being Fashion, and the quickest time
being seven minutes and thirty-two seconds, over a
course four miles in length. The gnat double race be.
t\utn JLelipse and Sir Henry has often been spoken of
as one of the best contested and most remarkable. I
think that Sir Ilenry was the best horse, and in
the nrst race lie beat Eel pse by 22 leet. In the second
trial however, he was beat by Eclipse by 11 feet, and
the victory was undoubtedly gained by the superior man
agement of his rider. 1 refer to the fact as evidence of
the necessity of having good riders, and those who thor
oughly understand the animal, as well as to have a good
horse itself.

in the shape ot Ilooflarid’s German Bitters, prepared by
Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia. It is, in our opinion, a i
medicine sui generis —alone—unapproachable. It seems 1
to reach the fountain head ot ihe difficulty in the digestive i
organization, and thus to relieve the secretions and the j
blood of the maceries inurbi, or the cau=e of disease. Its 1
tonic properties give vigor to the membranes ot the stom
ach, and promote the secretion of the gastric juice, which !
dissolves the food, while its cordial, soothing, and altera- j
tive influence imparts general regularity and strength to the
action of the secretive organs, and seems to fortify the eon- ;
etitution. Snch is our own experience ot its effects, and
we believe it is confirmed by the evidence of all who have ,
tried it, or had an opportunity of witnessing its operation. !

Derangement of the Liver, is one of the most common, 1
as well as the most formidable of diseases known to Amer- j
ican physicians. It had for years attracted the closest at
tention of the medical faculty in all parts of the United I
States, and yet up to the time of the discovery of Dr. M’- j
Lane’s great Specific, it was almost beyond the reach of j
Medical skill. Thousands had fperisned without even a
hope of relief, and although thousands may yet be destined :
to feel the direful effects of this most complicated disease,
it is now, thanks to the research of Dr. M’Lane, complete- I
ly brought within the scope of medical control. The pro- j
prietors of the Liver Pills feel confident that they offer a |
remedy which has been fully tested by time, and which has j
never failed of success when fairly tried. These inestima- \
blePils may be purchased at all the Druggists in C< lutn- !
