We particularly recommend to our readers the foreign correspondence in this day’s sheet—the letters from FE ud California, particularly the eloquent and epirit-stirring epistle of Marcus, ene of cur European correspondents. They will all sepay perusal ‘ope uba and the United States—Infraction of ‘Treaties. Within a few months past, and since the subject | ef the annexation of the Spanish island of Cuba bas formed a topic of discussion in our newspapers, and amoeg our people, throughout the country,'the toca! authorities of that island, acting, no doubt, under some foolish and ridiculous directions ema- waung from the government at Madrid, have gone out of their way to annoy the United States, and to throw obstacles in the way of our intercourse with that island, as it is guaranteed by treaty sti- pulations between the two nations. Those obstacles and aanoyances, amount to in- sult, and nearly, if mot quite, to a violation of our | treaty stipulations, and demand the prompt atten- tion of our government at Washington. Thus, for inctance, when the American steamship Ohio touched at Havana, on her last passage to New Orleans, she was forbidden to enter the harbor, and was compelled to remain near the entranee, in & narrow and dangerous position, for a certain number of hours, thereby forcing her to incur the rick ot being wrecked; for, if a storm had arisen while she was thus lying, she had either to cut and run, or shipwreck and loss of life might have been the covsequence of obeying the insulting deciee. As our intercourse with the island of through our ocean steamships, 18 becoming it than it ever was, and as our com- the inhabitants of that island is in- merce creasing every year, itis the duty of the cabinet at wi Washington to act promptly and decidedly in the matter, and take measures to obtain a revocation of these nd annoying orders, or, for their sudecity and insolence, to punish them. But this is not all. Withina few moaths, ano- urd and insulting order has been irsued by | ain-General of Cuba, prolubiting, under penalties, the landing of American news paper literature, which has heretofore entered that ridiculous & islend as bocks or any other merchandise. By this order, the proprietors of 1 pers ia the United States are deprived ef a portion of their rights under treaty, and the ple of ba, who paid thear money in advance for those journals, are deprived of their property, in violation of all prin- ciples of justice. Now, the only object which the court of Spain, or their agent, the Captain-General, ean have in view in thus preventing the introduc- tion of American newepapers into the island, is to limit, as far as possible, the intercourse between its people and those of the UnitedStates—an object which cannot be accomplehed without violating treaty stipulations. It is foolishly intended to keep down and repress the revolutionary spirit of the inhabitants; but if the bold of Spain on that aeland depends on such fickle support, we should say that it will soon be broken, and the connection between it and the mother country, of a politi- cal character, severed. It has another effect, also— it curtails the commercial intercourse between Cuba and the United States, which they them- selves admit is more extensive than it ia with any other foreign country, and from which it follows, es a consequence, the greater part of the Spanish revenue 1 derived.

And it would be well for Spain to take the eubject of parting with it in thet way, into serious considera tion; for part with it che must, one way or another, before many years. By ¢ ng of ttnow, 6h can get a fait consideration for it; but let her d lay, and the Cubans themselves will in due time wreet it from her by force. In such an ev she would not receive a dollar. Our government is ready at any moment to enter into negotiations for its sale and transfer, and the eabinet at Madrid had better take advantage of such feelings before it be too absurd attempts to interfere with the between that island and the United States, in violation of treaty between the two countries, must not be tolerated. Mr. Clayton, who seems to have @ penchant for dabbling in our foreign relatio might wipe out some of the stigma which attaches to him for his blundering and blustering in our relations with France, it he would wake up the Spanish Minister at Washing: ton, His Excellency M. Calderon de la Barca, and intimate to him that the Spanish government und ite agent in Cuba, must not do any act inconsis- tent with the intercourse between that island and the United Sta’ as it is guarantied by treaty; and that the sooner the little annoyances which we have referred to, are abolished, the better it ‘will be for her at a future day. ‘Tue Trininan px Cuna Anpvcrion Case.—The Washington Union has been impored upon.

The intelligence from California, by the stean- ship Ohio, is interesting, as an exhibit of the pre- sent condition of affairs in the gold country ; but more interesting as shaping out, to some extent, its prospects for the future. It gives us a wider sweep of the horizon than the mere details of the gold washinge, and distinetly raises the question ~what is to be the destiny of California ? On the western side of the Sierra Nevada, while the mags of the population are engaged in digging and sifung for an ounce of dust a day; while the churchmen are building ehurches, and gambling and preaching are all the fashion, the politicians | ave shaping their heterogeneous materials into the elements of a State. In the great interior Basia, we find the Mormons still farther advanced. Pray- ing, psalm singing, and digging potatoes, have not occupied their whole attention. They have erect- | ed a tate six hundred miles square, whose capital is the New Jerusalem, and think they are large enough for admission ito the Union. Meantime the tribulations of the overland emigrants are com- ing in. From our correspondence it will be seen, that toads, fried rattlesnakes, and dead horses are good picking in the lower deserts, which are not | blest, like the Mormons, with flocks of sea gulls, | nor supphed, ke the Indians of the Basin, with their pastry of dried crickets. But the worst, we fear, has yet to come. The people of San Fran- cisco, learning of the sufierings of the great ad- vancing columus of the emigrants in the Basin, were devising means for their relief, and by the next arrival we may expect to hear of the most dis- astrous scenes of starvation. But such is the pow. er of gold. If the mines were in the defiles of pur- gatory, men would risk their souls to reach them, regardless alike of Bishop Hughes, the Pope, or the Devil. Again, the State Convention of California ap- pears to be already split up into three parties, with a sort of Tammany Hall in the ascendant; andthe wonder is, that a people so far advanced should still be destitute of their Five Points and the model ar- tists. One party is strong for the proviso, but they have no John Van Buren to head them ; the second party profess to let slavery alone, as a matter of no consequence ; and the third clique appears to be like the cabinet, without any fixed principles what- ever, and depending, like the cabinet, upon float- ing capital, the mere driftwood of the political car- rent. The Mormons have got the start of them in politics and common sense, in resolving to keep entirely clear from the dispute between Benton and | Calhoun. Their policy of neutrality is even better than that of Mr. Clayton, and they are entitled to encouragemant, as a people really capable of self government. The Kev. Francis Hall objects to their admission into the Union, because they are infidels. But what is the fact? They believe in the Old and New Testaments, in Moses and the Prophets, in St. John the Baptist, Christ, and the Apostles ; and, besides all this, they have a testa- ment of their own, and a prophet and apostles of their own, in all ot which they believe, which is twice as much as the belief of Mr. Hall and the orthodox church. They are true believers, for they believe in almost every thing, except the nig- gerology of the Evening Post. They have no fuith im that fishy philanthropy, and none in the squash philosophy of Greeley. They are men of common sense, true believers, and sound politicians, But the saints in the city of Zion will take care of themselves. With all these developements before us, what are the prospects of California? Some three mil- lions ot gold dust have been received from the mines, and deposited mm the mint at Philadelphia, besides an equal quantity sent to Europe. The diggings, pickings and siftngs of the year are ex- pected to reach to twenty millions. From the his- tory of all previous gold discoveries, trom geologi- cal facta, and the fact that the gold has already sensibly diminished, the washings of the Sacra- Joaquin must be exhausted withm five, six or ten years, atthe farthest. The business, then, of extracting the metal trom the rocks in the conducted by large companies, with steam engines and expensive machinery. What, thea, becomes of the swarm of gold sifters? The valley affords but hitle encoura; nt for agriculture. Oregon has greater advantages in this respect. The gold dig- gers, ma few short years will disperse—some to Oregon, Mexico, and South America; others will returo, and the local population will be reduced to the standard resources and commerce of the country. the Pacific trade, can alone make California a per- menently prosperous State. It would be well forall fuiwre adventurers to reflect upon these things. Cahfornia has agitated the world, excited the greatest commercial enterprises; but the gold is dimiowhing, the fever of emigration is subsiding, and the tide must return. In the meantime, it will be the duty of Congress to admit the State into the Union, and the new Mormon State also. Who specks next? 2 Bt Axnivats at New Yors.—The arrival of dis- tinguished travellers in New York during the last week, has exceeded even what we represented on a foimer occasion. Itis only necessary to look over the jist at the hotels, and particularly that of the Irving House. The Vice President of the United Stutes, Senators, members of Congress, of the cabinet, foreign ministers, and distinguished malitary men, all crowd to our great centre of attraction. This metropolis continues to be fuller, gayer, and more wonderful in its attractions, than ever. Iurontant Ovens Movements.—The mist has cleared away. All the arrangements have been eompleted.

The old “ Academy of Design” was an institution of the same kind; but falling into incompetent or lazy hands, it was superceded by the American Art-Union, which has been in eperation for a few years, and now acts , we believe, under a charter, The International Art-Union is of a more recent date, and was started by several enterprising pub- lishers and artists in Broadway. It professes to have a wider range in its sympathies towards artists, and te embrace painters and artists from every part of the world—America, Ewrope, Asia, Africa, Australia, &c. These two associations are very praiseworthy in their organization and purposes. Unfortunately, however, a very serious feud has arisen between their respective friends, that may lead to injurious consequences to art in general. The friends of the American Art-Union, after finishing the old Academy of Design, and thinking to monopolize the field, have looked on the establishment of another institution as an interference with their pecuhar privileges, and have commenced, through the columns of certain newspapers, a most furious, destructive and discreditable warfare, on the pur- poses, objects and efforts of the International-Art- Union. It would seem that the United States, with the vast accession of New Mexico and Cali- fornia, and the prospect of annexing Canada and Cuba, might be large enough for both these in- stitutions to bustle in. The American Art-Union, however, cannot bear a competitor or rival, and | have, accordingly, let loose, through some news- papers, many disereditable statements against the character and reputation of the other, for which we lieve there is no just or correct foundation. ‘This isnot the way in which we look ox arts or artists’ unions of any kind, or institutions esta- blished for the benefit of civilization or science. We believe the public heart is more disposed to like liberal feelings on these matters, than any nar- row und exelusive purpose. The American Art- Union has benefitted art to a certain extent, but only to a certain extent. Why, therefore, should they prevent the International Art-Union from en- deavoring to fill up the remaining space, and meet the wants of this growing age? We rhall leok more narrowly into this curious controversy, which we are informed begins to ex- cite a great deal of attention, not only among painters, but that portion of the public who don’t wish to prevent the progress of the fine arts, either foreign or domeet, in this rising country. Visit of the Secretary of War—Inspeetion of the Military Posts In the Port of New York, The Hon, Mr. Crawford, the Secretary of War, has been for the last few days on an official visit to this city, with a view to the inspection of the military poste and defences in the port, preparatory to his re- port to Congress at its first meeting in December. On Friday, as we stated in the /Merald, he visited the military academy at West Polut, accompanied by the Commander-in-Chief and General Wool, returning to the Irving House in the evening. It was arranged that Governor's Island, Fort Hamilton, and the other forts at the Narrows, should be visited on Saturday, taking Governor's Island @rst. The troops int jatter fort were ordered by Colonel Crane to be in readiness at a moment's warning, and every suitable preparation was Bishop Hughes at St. Peter’s—The Debt of the Church, At the conelusion of noon service, im St. Peter's Ro men Catholic Chapel, yesterday, Bishop Hughes ad- dressed the eongregation on the subject of their debt, and the dispersing of the clergy, but in a more eoncilia- tory tone than he adopted in his former observations— remembering that meekness is the path toheaven.

They did not visit Bedloo's leiand. At 4 o'clock they returned in the Staten Island steamer Sylph, by Buttermilk channel, and landed in the barge on Goveruor’s Irland, where they were received by Colenel Crane, and « salute was fired from the tower of the fort. The company of in- fantry in ceoupation of the island passed in review, and the party then proceeded to inspeet the fort mimately, which they found in fair condition, but not mannel.
