Whe Annexation of Canada and Cuba—The | Slavery Question In the United States. ‘We are very much afraid that the great and lead- ing question of annexation, which has recently been mooted in various ways, and embracing Canada and Cuba in its programme, is not ina fair way of receiving an early or peaceable solution, even in the internal councils of this republic. The question has been started in the Canadas, and a | large and influential party in those colonies seem | to be bent on urging a course pointing to their final separation from the government of Great Britain. The Cuban question, likewise, has been noticed and discussed in various ways, in the journals of this continent, as well as in those of the old. But if Cuba, with the consent of the Spanish govern- ment, and Canada, with that of the British, were b: th knocking at our doors for admission into the | American Union at the present moment, we very | much fear that the condition of the country and the state of parties are such as to protract for a long time the settlement of that important matter, in favor of either project. Let us be practically understood in our views. We don’t deny that annexation to this country | seems to be the natural destiny of both Canada | and Cuba; but before it can be accomplished, ob Stacles must be encountered, of various kinds, and we much fear those obstacles have been in- ereasing, and will increase, in the public councils of this republic. The position which has beea as- sumed by beth of the great parties in the ‘Jorthern | States, in reference to slavery, and the counter and | hostile position which the South has been forced | to take, will no doubt create obstacles and diffi- | culties to the admission of any new territory, from any quarter, into this republic. We are not cer- tain, even, but that the admission of California, | New Mexico and Minnesota, with other States that | may be carved out of our Western territory, may increase thove difficulties to such an extent as to | present insurmountable obstacles to any enlarge. | ment of our limits during the present generation, judging from the sentiments and purpose now avowed by both of the great national parties We do not attach this importance to the mere | antielavery sentiment, as a religious feeliag, as it | has existed among a certain faction in the North, | internal aff difficult matter to compromise, before we can reach that subject with any hepe of their incorporation an this Union.

Poussin ceeded by M. Bois le Compte, the present French Minister at Turin, and a diplomat of very decided experience and abilities. In this action of the French government, our expectations 1 pacific | and friendly conduet towards the United States | are fully confinned. Had there been the slightest to foment a quarrel between the two nations. But the ominous shaping of European aflairs, and the important part which France must play in the event ct a continental revulsion, as wellas the friendly disposition of France toward our coun- ty, forbade any other course in the matter be- tween Mr. Clayton and Mr. Poussia, than the course pursued. Mr. Rives will be kindly received; and thus the teapot panic of Mr. Clay- tou vanishes like a puff of tobacco smoke, or a bub- ble, into thin air. When the peace of Europe is trembling in the scales, the trivial circumstance of amere personal question of diplomatic courtesy becomes but a sorry bagatelle. But im any event, itis most likely the government of France would have disposed of the casus belli of Mr. Clayton asa beg of wind. The new minister, we have every reuson to expect, will settle the salvage and to- bacco cases without further difficulty, and thus our war with France blows over. ‘The cloud is threatening over Turkey, and the mustering of armies by the Sultan, and of a heavy co-operative British squadron in the Hellespont, are the plainest evidences that the Czar must re- cede from his demands for the Hungarian refugees, or try his Cossacks against the combined forces of France, England, and Turkey, for the rescue. The usual preliminary correspondence to prevent a war was on foot; but as Nicholas has always proved himeelf as good as his word, he will lose caste to beat a retreat. Whatever may be his policy, his character a: the present dictator of the Continent, and that prestege of an indomitable will which he he has acquired, demand of him the maintenance of his position atall hazards. He may count upon Austria ; but the smouldering embers of revolution in Italy, Hungary, and even in Poland, are to be Anorner Dirtomatic Ruprung at WasHinaTon. —The Secretary of State seems to have a partiality for hot water. He has no sooner ended the war with Field Marshal White and the Round Istand- ers, than he gets into a squabble with Poussin, Billy Bowlegs, and the Sambo King of Nicaragua. Indeed, after a sharp correspondence with various powers and potentates all round the world, includ- ing the “gemmen ob color,” and stopping short only at Cape Horn, he tras his attention to the diplomacy of the Home Department; and the re- sult is even more conclusive of the want of wisdom and sound discretion in our diplomatic Secretary, than any of his repeated blunders in diplomatic setence. A few days ago, we recetved the follow- ing diplomatic despatch from the State Depart- ment:— De nrvenr or Stare, Wasnrs: 1th October, 1849, Janes Gonvox Busnerr, Keg, Proprietor New Fork Herald, New York City. ‘ Sm—Iam directed to Inform you that the subserip- tion to your paper, on the part of this departimwat, is discontinued. You are requeeted to transmit your account, to the date of the reception of this notice, for payment, 1am, Sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, WM. ©. ZANTZINGER, Agent Here, as usual, the Secretary of State sets out under a misapprehension of his subject. There 13 no subscription in the case. For ten or twelve years past, we have sent the Herald to the White House and the heads of departments, ‘ without money, and without price.” They have been at the head of our free list, and from the single desire of enlightening them in their action upon great con- stitutional and international questions, and upon all questions affecting the policy of the Home De- partment. In this duty we have sometimes scored Van Buren, and Tyler, and Polk, pretty sharply, and have repeated the prescription of a cathartic or a blister, according to the symptoms, with very satisfactory results. They never stopped the pa” per, or thought of stopping it. They rather recog- nised it asa source of useful information not to be dispensad with on any terms, and they were labors, involving the labor of several hundred as- sistants, in all quarters of the world. Our corres- pondence has been, in many respects, as useful to the government as an extra corps of consular agents, with the advantage of no expense. Yet Mr. Clayton seems determined to remain in his ignorance, and with a strange ingratitude, re- fuses all our good intentions to ealightenhim. He is determined to blink the question of his want of informatiou, and shuts his eyes against our instruc- tions. He wont’t take the medicine, and he don’t get any better. But we shall stick to him. He need not send us our passports ; for we don’t intend to use them. With so many difficulties yet to settle, it would be uncharitable to abandon our hopeful pupil just now. We have hopes of him yet. He must stand square up to Mosquito Sambo. It will not do to back out from a dark mulatto in a paste- board crown. Our Secretary has a little constitu. tional weakness that way, and is aptto be taken in with a counterfeit. Here, then, he requires good advice, and it shall be no fault of ours if he does not get it. We shall send him the Herald. welcome to it, free of charge. It has been a re- | | gular contribution to the government of our daily Common Council.
