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. :Coirespondence of the Baltimore Sun.] 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. * Lecoinpte 7.26.

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.
