Oil inquiry it appear ed that a former bishop of Havana, who was imbued with liberal principles, had proposed during the revolution erecting a splendid ce notaph, in which to enclose those ashes, and to deposit with them a copy ol the Cansiuu tion. When the liberals were defeated these dangerous nahes wore ordered to be destroy ed.

RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA. A correspondent of the Muting Chronicle, un der date of Constantinople, Nov. 15, stales that a letter bad been received fr..m Mr Longworlh, in Circassia, giving a most ileplorahla account of the stale ol Ibe Russian forces in that country. Tbe diminished army of the north was first retreating across tbs Kouban, closely followed up by the Circassians; nml the army oftbo south was also hastening its prepniations to ro-em'.mrk,after hav ing lost Ibe greater part of its best officers, and more than a third of its men; having, ns the sole wmk ol ibe campaign,only succeeded in building two small field redoubts on the coast, which would in nil probability be again destroyed by the Cireissians during the late boisterous weather, as many as eight Russian vessels, including men of war and transports have been wrecked on the coast; and that the fleet would, in a few days, return to Sabaslpol for Ibo winter, having, as a proof of the efficacy of this famous blockade,only suiciding in capturing one boat during the whole season, notwithstanding ilia numbers, which, I may say, almost weekly leave both here and Tre bizond fur the Caucasian ahuies. SPAIN. Private letters from the Spanish frontiers, slirlo that Dun Curios has succeeded in re-organizing a force of twenty battalions, ami well armed, t'()uip|ied, and well supplied with clothing, pro visions and ammunition. This forco is com posed cntnely of Castilians, and is destined for operations exclusively in tbe central provinces ol Spain, and against Madrid. The only want ex perienced is said to he of horses for his cavalry, to procure which his agents are using the greatest exert ons, as that description of troops in strength is indispensable for action in tbe plains. This force is independent of the Navarreso corps, who, as is well known, have the strongest repugnance lo quit their mountain fastnesses and cross tbe Ebro. The quarrels between his Generals, it is added, will bo ai ranged, ns it was considered on all bunds to be exlraonlinary that obedience to his authority was so perfect among them that not one detection had taken place, although several had been placed under arrest, or sent before courts martial for trial. Altogether these le.lleis express the greatest astonishment that Don Gar bs should have succeeded in finding resources tor re-organ i Ail rg so formidable a force in so short a space ot time, and alertin', great losses of the last campaign.

Day before yesterday Colonel Ransom, commanding tbe mil- Ilia at Tnnewanda, icccivcd a letter through the pout olli-.e, purporting to be written by General Scott, ordering trim to deliver to certain team sters the cannon belonging to the Slate, which had been left in his custody. The circumstances that this ordetl‘trough (he post oiflee, and lire totally unrnilitury character of the address, exci ted Col. R’s suspicions that all was not right, and before complying with it, he called upon a gentleman of Tonuwanda, and showed him the document. This gentleman assured him that he was acquainted with Gen. Scott’s hand writing and believed the order to be written by him. The cannon were accordingly given up. Where they are no one can tell, but every one can guess in whose possession they are. Yesterday, however, Col. Ransom, to make assurance doubly sure, sent a despatch to Gen. Scolt.advising of the facts; but we understand that the bearer saw til In delay delivering it for some hours after he arrived in town. It appeared upon investigation, that the order from Gen. S. was a forgery, and that some person or persons adopted litis course in order to recover three guns from the protection of tho Stale, to which they had boon surrendeted only so long as suited their purposes. We have heard vaiious rumors, which strong ly compromise several individuals hi. this city, who lime played prominent pans in recent move l merits here, hut as measures have been adopted to i asucrtain the parties to this transaction, and bring i them to justice, we forbear giving names, or aliu ’ ding more distinctly to reports. 1. appears that the above order, or letter, was 1 written by an inhabitant of Liulfalo, named Win. * Spoil, who, says a writer in the Journal, ‘‘usual ly writes his name "M . Scott,” without altering > Ins hand wrt.h'g or using any deception whalcv ovur.

[fobthe chronicle ixn sentinel. , Mr. Editor: I have been for a long time a subscriber to th« Chronicle and should regret to he compelled to give it up, as I must take an Augusta paper, and . have for many years been strongly opposed to the doctrines of the Constitutionalist and Courier, i have not however seen one of your papers for ’ some time, without feeling almost resolved to step , it, on account, chiefly, of the communications of ; your correspondent at Washington. Since tho • establishment of the Express Mail, these corres pondents, and the slips from the news-papers as B fords such speedy information of the most inter esting proceedings there, that no one but a pro r leased politician thinks of resitting the chall’of ilia - s’ale sheets that come lagging behind. A Washington correspondent has therefore became necessary to every newspaper, and his u character and views are really ot more moment to the community, than those oi the Editor him , sco. Now, your correspondent is to my mind, evidently a hank man and a Clay man, and I fear ; wanting in Southern feelings. To a Bank, lam p in common,l presume, with nine-tenths of your f country subsoiihers, at least, unchangeably (jppos ) c j ; to Mr. Clay I am, and I believe, they ate ' equally so. For I regard him as concentrating , within himself more doctrines that are anti-South • ern, and, if in power, more fatal to the South, ' than any man who has yet flourished in the Re public. not excepting the elder nor the younger Adams. Ho is an Internal Improvement man— ■ a Tariff man —o Dank man —and an Mali* ' tionist. Ho is the three first of these open y‘ decidedly and thoroughly. His entire politics' reputation and influence is based upon them -1 They ate the positions on which lie has fought • throughout his whole career. How many ofyou r 1 subscribers concur with him 1 But you, as well as jout correspondent, vindicate him from being t an abolitionist. Ho is the President of the Colo • ni/alion Society— the parent of Abolition. He regards slavery as an evil—as a slain upon ou r , natio a! Character—<as a thing that mast bo abol ished. This is abolitionist enough for me. And I will not contribute even to the amount of my s subscription, to a newspaper to place one Jot of ' power or influence in tho hands of such a man, and least of all, of such a slave holder. I have no doubt, however, in my mind, that Mr. Clay is qarfrom being quiescent even in his views on this • /subject, and that he is the very man who has ■' paralyzed the action of the South at Washington; and that to his influence we owe, in a great mea. ....... :!,c si>Mr Pinckney’* treacherous rcsblutions, two years agd. That fanioiis paita cea which settled the question then! has -ce lled it again recently, and is to rc-sctllo it at the Commencement of every session, I presume, so long as the South is able to command even this miserable amnesty lor her leelings—her rights— and her existence. Your correspondent affects to sneer at Mr. Cal* houn’s “resolves.” lam nut the partisan of that gentleman. He is a man of much honesty and many errors. His greatest fault I believe vo be bis want of knowledge of man —not of munkind. He is neither man-serving nor time-serving, and therefore wants tact, and must waul success. But the fotco of his genius sweeps over these petty considerations, anil, in the long run, carries most of bis measures, whether right or wrong. Such tl man is not to bo sneered at, nor any thing that comes from him. Ho looks to pos tenty for that position which his bold and over bearing talents and temper deny him now, and it is not to lie wondered at that he should wish oc casionally to reiresh the record of those great principles on which his fume is to rest, and on which too, hang all the hopes of the South in this confederacy. It is nearly all that is left either to the South or him. To say the least of his reso lutions, they can do no harm, —for to talk of hie agitation of Abolition, is heilhtr tfiore nor less than sheer humbug—and if .Mr. Pinckney’s reso lutions to he re enacted at every session, I see no reason why a Southern man can object to re curring now and then to the first principles of the Constitution and the Union, and reminding the country of what they were. To some men, those things aic grating. To Mr. Clay, no doubt, and to lus Northern allies—lor his alliance is with the North, and lie hales—yes, hales the South. I do nut ask you to change your correspon dent, mid if I did, my subscription—and it is the only way I can affect you—is 100 insignificant to influence you in the slightest degree, to such a tiling; But, s;r, if you concur with him, and j arc in favor of the Banks and Clay, take your ground openly, that none of those who think like me, may feel reluctant to do our mile of duty.
