THE NEW YORK HERALD. MORNING EDITION---- Wasuixaton, August HM, 1319. The President’s Proclamatim—Tie Buffalo Hum Sor Cuba—The Policy of the Government Rigid Sor Peace—The Pulicy of Awnexation Indefi- nitely Suspended. The proclamation of te President against the buffalo hunt, believed to be organizing for a de- scent upon Cuba, with a view to the seizure of the island, is another proof of the fixed determination of the administration rigidly to stand to its treaty obligations. When, a few months ago, there were symptoms of the repetition in Canada of the insurrection of 1837, the President and his cxbinet unanimously agreed that it was proper at once to arrest, by aly constitutional means, any violations of our neu- trality with Great Brituin, in the event of an out- break across the border, and, in effect, this resolve was promulgated in advance, as a warning against any movements of fraternity by our citizens, which would compromit the integrity of the go- vernment. The admiuvistration consented to the publication of its policy before the necessity for action, in order to admonish our citizens of their duty, and to disembarrass the government of any possible degree of connivance with the anticipated rupture in Canada; for, in the absence of any de- elaration of disapproval of collision with the Ca- nadians, the government might be open to sus- picion, It would be; for it is notorious and rational that our citizens of the North do and should desire the anuex«tion of Canada ; and it is pretty well ascertained from experience that the speediest method of etiecting annexation is by first revolutionizing the country to be incorporated, and then asking for admission into the Union. In the case of the war steamer the United States, the policy of Mr. Clayton was consistent with this rigid ule of neutrality laid dowa, although sub- ject to ammmadversion, as tending to operate against the. republican movements in Germany, all which, however, huve turned upon the pivot of old monarchical reservations, and lave, therefore, resulted in nothing but disasters to the republican cause. In this case of the bufialo hunt, for Cuba, we have a more direct example of the inflexible ob- servance of treaty stipulutions, as the rule of the administration, tha at least, all considerations of mere politica! capit J ure thrown out of the scale as unfit to be entertained. 1t would be an easy thing to overthrow the Spanish government in Cuba; for it is well known there are some very willing annexationists among the islunders. It would be un easy matter for the goverament to be blind to the organization of the buffale hunt, and evento aid in its enwrprise, without openly in- fringing the faith of weaties. But in the event of a successful invusion and revolution, while it would be impossible for the governnent to resist the pressure for annexation, the acquisition of Cuba would inevitably bring with it a large measure of popularity. Sull, not only do we know the cabinet to deprecate this short cut to the succession, but we believe them to be opposed to the acqmesition of Cuba, by any means, piratical or legitimate, wie the slavery question in Califoraia remains un We understand that a force of 1,500 men are en- rolled for this supposed expedition to Cuba, at New" ins and in the neighborhood—that they expect 600 recruits from New York; and we are awere that egents. of the enterprise are in the re- cruiting service in te city, The men are required to enlist without being informed of their destina- tion; but while Tampico is held out to the public as a feint, it is believed that Cuba is the object of 1c on. Who are the ring-'eadess in this “illegal enter- prise,” we have not ascestuined, but there are seve- ral members of Congress in the ith suspected of being informed of the organization. It 1s believed the movement has been hustened, in order to have Cuba on hand as an ofiset to Canada, the prospects of acquiring which appeared to be so very =i) 4 cious two months ago. Bat for the present, t whole scheme has fallen Le, os The Canadi: have resolved to sing ‘ Long live the Queen,” in- definitely ; and from the protest of the President we may rest assured that no aymed invasion will be permitted to pass trom the United States into Cuba or Mexico, if a ship of war can intercept it; 20 that the policy of ausexation is indefinitely sus- pended.

The proclamation of President Taylor does not seem to attract much attention here, though there can he. doubt that at is aserious matter. I learn that ets were given to Lieut.

It was ho~d the new wdinimisttation would remedy the grr which we sufiered under the la one, but alas! it seems to be worse than ever. Aiken derives its name from the former Gover- ner ofthis State. 1t is 120 miles from Charleston, and 16 miles from Augusta. The 8. ©.

How delightful it 1s to escape the dust and heat of New York, and find yourself transported to such a fresh, cool place as Saratoga, where the nume- rous springs are epreading health and invigorating thought to all those who are around them! Some of the hotels are crowded, and the United States Hotel, where I am remaining, has been compelled to send many of its inmates out to lodge for the past two weeks. The scene here is very brillant. There is, every evening, a hop or a con- cert, and jeach of them is very well attended. The floor was cleared, as usual, last night, and the Schneider band of instrumentalists made a call for a “hop,” which was answered to by about two hundred persons. Among the stars shining there, we noticed Mrs. V. B—n, and her pretty sister, Miss M—t, whose pretty faces are, and ought to be, much admired; Miss A. F--n, Misses Ch—e, Misses D—s, Miss G—s,—who, by-the-by, possesses supe- nor talent on the piano-forte, who, as | alrea- dy know, will have, at the fancy ball, one of the most inal dresses ever exhibited anywhere— the pe gas A. and Miss I1—t, escorted, as usual, by M.

The bop which began at half-past ten o'clock; lasted till quarter to one, and every body seemed to be merry as ever. This morning it 1s very disagreeable. Soon af- ter twelve o’clock it commenced raining, and still continues. Life is, and will be, dull to-day; and it we have no party to-night, what will become of us? Well, we shall smoke our seyar, and pay a visit to Suracco’s dancing school, where the jeunesse dorée of the Springs go, every evening, to “make love to the ballet girls, and turn with them in the whirl- wind of the polka and waltz.

The fashionable world at Saratoga 1s in active employment at present, making preparation for the grand fancy dress ball which is to take place ag this house on Friday night. I have already sent famt of that she wore, last year, at Sarato- | | uniting. We noticed, also, | Se | you a programme of arrangements, with names of | committees, managers, &c. The “costumers are already busily employed. Dejonge has a fine as sortment of dresses, many of them new; and Tay- lor has written to say that he will be here to-day with his stock. Dibblee & Barker, hair-dressers, have commenced operations, and hope to doa good business. The shopkeepers are all reaping their share of profits resulting from the lively times. Wise, the optician, with his innumerable articles for use and ornament, is at his old stand; and Game, of the firm of Manet, Jarry & Gaime, fewellere, of New York, has_a shop here. Mme. agot, of Philadelphia, and Mme. Ferrers, dress makers, are busily capoyen in manofacturing dresses tor the great ball. We are enduring a most uncomfortable, day. Itbegan to rain early in the morning, and is still raining at two o'clock.

The show, of course, made a @&y of recreation to many of the children and othei of the town’s peo- ple. | The large tent was filled :" the afternoon and evening. Dan 1s very popular if these parts. The hotels, with the exception of "he United States, have done x slim business this s4son. It is a pity that C Hall did not fill % earlier this sea- gon; it is well kept, and Mr. B’Gwn, the geatle- mani; etor, deserves a libtral patroaage.— The dulness of the season has not caused him to relax his efforts to rve success. Those who have made his house their home during the present seavon, bear evidence to the fact. His table is an excellent one, and the other comforts of the house are of the best kind. Another year, when there is no cholera, will Fah open find ‘Congress Hall tull at an early day of the season. The United States is overflowing, and a great many boarders in house are lodging out. Mr. Clay keeps his house, and receives calls, as has been previously mentioned by the Herald cor- respendence, If you are the d what big’ doing in, Barat a now, you may reply :—people are preparing for the ball-talking” 0 the ball—thinking about the ball—writing about the ball—and, in fact, every- thing is ball! ball!! ball!!!

Arrival of the New York Delegation en Route to Rome—Departure of Yankee Sullrvan, §c. The elegant steamer Isaac Newton, arrived here about six o’clock this morning, and from all ap- pearances landed the largest load of passengers, baggoge, &c., that they have had for many weeks past. Among the vast number of passengers, there were a portion of the New York hunker and barnburner delegations, on their way to the Rome conventions, which are to commence to-morrow morning. it was estimated that the Newton had about fifteen hundred emigrants on board, and lug- gage enough to load three or four canal boats. Besides this enormous load of the old country people, there were a great many cabin passengers, which included the tollowing gentlemen, some of whom are delegates and some lookers on Bernburners —Jobn A.

From the sumptuous breakfast that these delegates partook of at “Stanwix Hull,” they evidently were taking in a good supply, previous to their en- tering upon the campaign at Rome, where it is ex- cted the provisions will come short, as there are mt small accommodations ia that village. The above list of delegates took their departure this morning, in the nine o’cloek train for Rome. A large deputation from New York and elsewhere are expected to arrive this afternoon by the Hen- drick Hudson, and proceed to the scene of unionism, in the seven o'clock train. . Yankee Sullivan, and Walker the champion of light weugbis in England, left here last night en route for Canada, whither they go for the purpose of giving exhibitions.
