Noricx.—Disraict oF Cot! MENTS TO BE INSERTED IN THE Battimore Sun ARE RECEIVED 4T AND FORWARDED FROM THE Star orrice. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Constitutron says that during the last few weeks Democratic State conventions have been held in several States of the Union, at all of which resolutions have been unanimously adopted in favor of the acquisition of Caba as & measure of the most vital importance to the safety and prosperity of the United States, aud calling on Congress to sustain the wise and just policy which the President has initiated and strenuously recommended for the aecomplish- ment of that great object. The Intelligencer copies the report of the Postmaster General, published in yesterday's Constitution, in regard to the removal of Post- master Westcott, at Philadelphia, and, “ with- out intending any reference whatever to the merits of the case,’’ pronounces it more than ordinarily, for departmental documents, ‘ dis- tinguished for perspicuity, precision, and purity of style.”” —— + wee —— iL? It ts said that the late King of Naples has left a good deal of treasure behind him, stowed away in Dutch ducats in the vaults of some of the royal palaces, while the larger, portion is invested in the English securities, and in Russian, Danish, and Dutch bonds.

The principal prop- erty destroyed was the Alabama and Fontaine cotton warehouses, containing 8,000 bales of cotton and a large quantity of goods in store. The loss is estimated at fully Lalf a million of dollars. The amount of insurance is unknown. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. —<—<$<—_____ I> The otticers of the Baltimore snd Ohio Railroad Company report that the effects of the recent cold weather have been quite severely felt along the more elevated sections and mountainous regions of the road. They state that the wheat and rye was greatly damaged, as well as the vege- tables. Ice formed to the thickness of an half ineb, and the thermometer remained below the freezing point for several honrs. 1 Late advices from South America statethat Urquiza ts preparing for an invasion of Buenos Ayres with a large force. It is generally under- stood that this will take place if he (Urquiza) sac- ceeds in obtaining assistance from Paraguay, and that there has been some understanding to this €tfect between Lopez, President of Paraguay, and Urquiza for assisting the latter with money or Steamers, the latter yovernment having none of its own for transportation. E> On Saturday, in New York, Mr. Fish, agent for M’lle. Piccolomin!, was arrested, on the writ of Mr. Hamley. proprietor of the Everett House, who made affidavit that the defendant was abont to leave the country without settling with him an account of board and lodging furnished to the Piccolomini at the Everett House, and that he had moneys in his possession more than suttictent to pay the indebtedness, but refused tudo so. it appears that the whole claim amounts to about $1200, for the board of seven persons for four weeks. The defendant was incarcerated in prison. iL The Convention at Baltimore for the “proper regulation of the free colored population of the State,”’ organized yesterday. and took the prelimi- nary measures for the consideration of the pur- poses it has been called to subserve. So far, the zrneral tone of the Convention has been calm and conservative and there isan evident Purpose upon the part of its leading minds to avoid the recom- wudation of extreme measures The Committee to whow the preparation of business bas been in- trusted, was to be prepared to report this morning, When the proceedinys of the Convention were to assume a practical foru. — UF On Monday afternoon, the Cadets at Wes; Point were informed that the Harriet Lane was on uer way up the Hudson with the lady whose name abe bears, escorted by Gen. Ward, of New York, Colonel Hardee, of the Army, and a select stair of #entlemen. Salutes welcomed the arrival of the steamer ; the Cadets. in martial array, were passed in review ; the honors of the place were Lonorably done by the brave who presides over its destinies; and, after a delightful excursion, the company re- turned to the Navy Yard at Brooklyn ou the same night. ————_______ >> The Coroner's inquest in the case of Mrs. Fanny Deane Halsey, at New York.was concluded on Tuesday, and resulted in the jury bringing in a verdict of ‘found drowned.” “The mother, sis- ter, and brother of deceased were examined, brit no evidence of Mr. Welis's connection witb the case was brought forward, notwithstandir. “g it is said there were witnesses present who alt have enlightened the jury upon that Point.

The News adds: “San Antonio is noted Jo" the fatality attending the commanding yen- erals of this Department, and yet no local canse exis therefor. General Wegth died of cholera; General Brooke of an old disease, and now General ‘Twiggs is likely to follow, of a disease which bas troubled Lim at times for years past." A letter from an officer of the staff of the Army. stationed at San Antonio, Texas, dated May 27, has been received at New Orleans, which states that a change for the better had taken place in the health of Major General Twiggs, although not so decided as to warrant the expression of a contident opinion of his recovery. His only daughter, the lady of Col. Myers, United States Army, who had Jeft New Orleans to attend him, had reached San Antonio. —<<—$$ 17" It has been stated that the Post Office Department sutter annually to a large amount by the use of the counterfeit and rewashed b everything is required to be done, in the various Post Ottices of the country, the clerks have no time to seruti. nize the stamps, and they are rapidly defaced witg a black stamp. Asall are entrusted with ‘the gale of stamps, no account can be kept of the number sold, for there ts no possibility of ascer- ‘ining bow many are in the hands of the people. ‘The same difficulty attends the attempt to detect the rewasbed stamps. Efforts have been made Voth in this country and in England, to obtain an indelible ink, but without success. The only way of preventing this last mode of counterfeiting, ps to be an entire abandonment of the use of postaye stamps, and to resort to prepa mnt by the use of stamped envelopes, which should be guarded in their manufacture by water marks WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP —_—— ———— Tun Naturauization Question.—More or less of the opposition newspapers are endeavor- ing to excite feeling against the President and Secretary of State with reference to the an- .Swers that are necessarily given by the datter to inquiries whether American naturalisation papers will protect those holding them, if re- ing to the territory of the govermment under which they may have been born, from being compelled to complete the term of mili- tary service exacted by that government of all males born its subjects; the party naturalized asacitizen of the United States having left the jurisdiction of the European government with- out fulfilling its requirement in that particular. The answer returned to #uch inquiries is, in substance, that the United States has no power nal Iaw—the common law of all nations—to compel a foreign government to respect, within its own limits, American read- ings of the rights of such naturalized Ameri- cans, the correctness of which is assented to by no other government than this. The American theory in this matter, it will be remembered, differs entirely from that of each and all the governments of Europe, which do not admit the right of expatriation without the consent of the government claiming the allegiance. It is to be regretted that the governments of Europe are so far behind the liberalism of ours in this particular; but such is the fact, how- ever—and it is necessarily to be dealt with as a fact, over which the United States have no For a quarter of a century the Uni- ted States have endeavored to induce Europe to aceept their theory upon natur: i the correct one—as the theory best suited to the present condition of the world; but as it confliets with principles on which almostall gov ernments but ours are fuunded—the principles of the doctrine of the divine rights of rulers— so far, no American administration has had success in this Ixbor, though all of them have, as before remarked, ineidently pressed the subject upon the attention first of one Euro- pean government and then of another, on all oeeasions involving ils consideration immedi- ately or remotely.
