We understand, by telegraph, that claims to a Marge amount are about to be presented against our overnment for damages done by the [nm eur newly-acquired territory, to the property of Mexican citizens. We are not at all surprived at thie; for there is no doubt that the United State have not fulfilled the terms of the treaty in relation wsiNG Pearonmances Ar- the operations of Mr. Corwin with the Mexican claims, and the conneetion which appears to have. grown up between these operations and Mr, George Law, of New York, John Young, sub-Treasurer, ke., &e., are extremely interesting, and will natur- ally lead the mind to consider what effect they wil! have on the present condition of the cabinet, and its future usefulness as the organ of the executive government. These disclosures, however, are only semi-revelations. Mr. Young appears to have been only an agent or broker in the arrimgement of the business, in order to fix Mr. Corwin up as a proper person to be at the head of the Treasury Depart. ment. Mr. George Law, of New York—one of our most eminent and enterprising citizens—is well | known in this community ; and the position in which he is placed by this correspondence, requires some | further elucidation and satisfactory explanation, from some quarter or other. As far as we under- ; stand these semi-revelations and half disclosures, | we should suppose that Mr. Law had been brought into these pecuniary arrangements merely as a capi- tulist who had money to loan, and had no other inte- rest whatever in the business. It seems, however, connection with this business, some thirty thousand dollars have disappeared—sunk like a large bouldsr into a swamp—which no one can account for, and which, it appears, no one has got. ‘The miracle of to-morrow—is repeated in this transaction. The matter should not be permitted to rest here. If the gentlemen whose names are conneeted with these transactions, in the correspondence of the Journal of Commerce, do not choose to throw some light on the subject, we have no doubt that a com- mittee of the next Congress will endeavor to dispel the fog, and bring light out of all the darkness that envelopes it. At all events, it is melancholy to that in the various negotiations which took place in | Aladdin’s palace—looming large to-day and gone | pax Apvarrs—Movements or THE Ficui- BustERS.--Since the arrest of certain persons charged with designs of setting on foot an expedi- tion t Cuba, some curious movements have attraeted public attention. We have already al- luded to the New Orleans celebration of the Car- relinquished his intention to hold the Cleopatra, that steamer was surrendered to the hands of its claimant, Mr. John L. O” recently indicted, who, on regaining possession, opencd @ basket of champagne, and consecrated one half of it to the past, and sealed up the other half for consecration to the future. drank were in favor of liberty and all struggles for it; and for “the Union, and a little more of it,” | meaning the annexation of Cuba. ‘This last sentiment satifies us of the spirit and de- termination of those who are devoting their labors to excite discontent and insurrection in Cuba; and we have here a key to their decisions with respect to the future. The scheme against Cuba is not yet abandoned. The firmness of the government, under the influence of the publis press, met the il- legal attempts against that island, both here and in Georgia, and resisted them effectually; but they have “scotehed the snake—not killed it.” We are fully convinced that the raw materials scattered about in various parts of the country, will be drawn together again, at a favorable time—andthat | period is most likely to be the interregnum con- | tingent on the presidential election, between the | 7th of November, 1852, and the 4th of March, 1853, | should that election go to the House. As there is quite a probability that three presidential eandi- dates will preclude the possibility of a shoice by the people, the country will be virtually without any effective government—as there will be no dis- think that the experience exhibited by the pre- and his associates. If the Galphin affair was a fair subject for reproach and condemnation to Gen. Taylor’s cabinet, ill-natured people will hardly be- lieve that a certain portion of the present cabinet are altogether free from some twinges of the disor- der which affected them. We should like to see a | full investigation into this affair, for the honor of the % the protection of the frontier, which they nauted to perform. In consequence of the parsimo- nious spirit exhibited by the last Congress, t gevernment at Washington has, within a time, been obliged to direct the curtailment of the davalry force of the army, which is the very kind | ef force t is necessary for the Indians in | heck, oro! g them whe y, in conse quence of the want of means to mounted. Weshould not be at all surprised if a great deal of difficulty and expense were to reault from our not performing our part of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, as far as the Indians on the frontier are concerned. We also learn from Washington, that there Serious difference of opinion between Seerctary Cor- ‘win and his accounting officer, Mr. Whit:lesey, in whe Treasury Department, relative to a draft for fegty thousand dollars, authorized by the Secretary ef the Interior, and approved by Secretary Corwin, isa for the purpose of carrying oat « treaty with the | Diinnesota Indians. The two seeretaries are ro- ported to have talked high; but, at last accounts, Mr. Whi:tlesey stood firm, and would not allow the draft. He deelares that he will not resign; so that if Secretary Corwin carries his point, he will be @ompelled to dismiss the old gentleman. Tke Attorne mera], it appears, has not yet given any official information with regard te his decision on the Florida claims ; it is, however, sap- posed that he will refer them back for the adjudi- ation of the courts in that State. From Canada we learn that a petition has been Presented to the legislative assembly for a charter te enable a company to build a railroad to t Pacific. Our Canadian friends must be very san- nine, if they think they can overcome the snow: of their latitude, so as to build a railroad of this character. But had they not better first try their hand at connecting Quebec with Montreal, or Mon- treal with Toronto, before tasking their energies on a railroad to the Pacific? It would appear that the more we decline haviag anything to do with the incorporation of Canada with our republic, the more anxious the Canadians are to woo us on the euljjcet. They now talk of passing a bill enabling foreigners—that is, Americans—to hold real estate in fee simple; supposing, no doubt, that some of ur enterprising capitalists would be induced to invest some of their spare funds there. It is very likely the measure will pass; but it is a matter of doubt if it will be attended with the desired effect. i ‘The Cabinet—Mr. Corwin and the Mexican Claims. A great deal has been said in the newspapers, far and pear, touching the connection which Mr. Cor- | win, Secretary of the Treasury, and other members of the cabine!, have had with certain claims, deno- minated Florida interest claims; also Mexican claims, and perhaps some other claims which bave losed to the public. We have | wach curious information on this subject, from our own Washington correspondents, | who are generaily as correct in their statements as | hers; and aleo from the correspondence of some | ef our cotemporaries, whish was corroborative of | what our own correspondents stated. A fresh dis eloeure from another reliab respondent, is now travelling through the newspapers, which possesses | Some interest in connection with this subject, and Which discloses » w and curious facts con- nected with the cabinet, and the disease of dry rot, which has affectod some of its timbers for some time past.

Nothing better pected from a newspaper which has steadily de- | voted its utmost energivs in aid of the infidel philo- | Sophers ef the day—which has exalted the merit | of such dangerous writers as Harriet Martineau Frederica Bremer, Brisbane, Mmerion, Jackson Davis, and all the host of French and (ier- man socialists and infidel philosophers—which has aided in the impostures of the lox girls on the re- ligious feelings of the community—and which, in its direct political opinions, is devoted to the de- struction of the constitution of the Union. In fact, | thi Christian press of this country. It is the nest in | which the foul birds of infidelity are permitsed to lay | their eggs—are hatched and nourished into a bard growth. No systematic wickedness, embraced in modern philosophy, is too dangerous for its adv cacy and assistance—no opinions against the di | nity of the Saviour are too outragepus for its con: | templation and recommendation; and in religion, morals, and literature of the day, we find it the | grand patron of every monstrosity and imaginative dream. From such a source, therefore, we must expect to witness expressions of joy at the quarrel in the Me- thodist Episcopal Church. ‘These infidel writers anticipate from such disturbances in church organi. zations, si w results which they hope for in ex- citing in society the employed against the employ- er—ultimate destruction, and new organizations in harmony with the dreamy theories of Fourier. They are bent on overturning all that is old, and on re- producing all the materials in a new shape in the “*good time coming.” It was only a few days ago that we saw the Cabet community culogized—a community of infidels and socialists establixhed at Nauvoo, Illinois, which was organized without any reference toa Supreme Being, and which devotes the Sabbath to amusements, as the abolitionists of New England, which fraternize with the Trilune, now devote the sacred day only to political meet- ings. Ilere is the evidence of the real opinions of that journal, and of its tendencies on the young | minds of the rising generation. For our own part, we sincerely regret that the Methodist Episco Church should have any quarrel to gratify these abandoned infidels and haters of Christianity, and we think that steps ought to be taken to restore this great religious body to its original inducnee, by healing the differences which now oxist. Mr. Wresten’s Vistr 10 Vineinta.—We per- ceive, by the newspapers at the South, that Mr. parties in Virginia, to visit that State: and there is a pros- pect that he will soon address the people of Kich- mond. This movement of Mr. Webster towards the South will be a great event—as great as that which has recently taken place in this State, whero the speeches of the great statesman have produced a profound impression, and have brought about a | healthy reaction in favor of patriotic public senti- ment. If Mr. Webster should really decide on accepting the invitation to visit Virginia, very admirable re- sults for the country would be realized by an exten- sion of hie Southern tour. Should he not stop at Charleston, he might at least pass on to Georgia, by the name of Mr. Kingman, who occupies a very high and responsible post in one of the departments in Washington—we are not sure whether it ix the | ‘Treasury, or sero. ther department. Mr. Kingman hhas been a newspaper correspondent anda roeident | of Washington for probably twenty years.

Georgia, in its last State election, contributed more political influence in fa- vor of the Union than any other Southern State; and her citizens would gain new incentives to pro- serve the common glory of the country by listening to the frank and manly cloquence of the Secretary of State. Georgia, next to Louisiana, is the most thriving and enterprising of the Southern States; and, wasting no time in idle epoculations, puts forth her capital and energies upon factorios, railroads and commeree, Which will yield alundant returns, and at the same time demonstrate that she receives no unequal treatment from the federal governmnent.

Political Inteiligence. | Venstowr,—The Democratic State Convention, jnst ad- | journed, passed a series of resolutions strongly favorable nue, them | delight at the division and quarrel in the Metho- | to the compromise measures, which it considers a pledge “an be ex- | of the fidelity of the several States to each other, and which should be observed by all with the obedtence | which is due to the nation’s will, and with that good faith which is requisite for the nation’s safety. Ifthe | party in the State has a preference for a candidate for | the National Convention, The Montpelier Patriot, the | leading democratic paper in the State, opposes the Fug'- | tive Slave law, and says it is unconstitutional and out- Tageous that any man should be arrested and returned | to slavery without the benefit of a trial by jury. The whole | whig press of the bag ty ge compromise measures; and the Burlington Frere Press, the State organ of the whig party. is very violent in its opposition.declaring that such measures sbould not be allowed to stand upon the statute book. The freesoil party has nominated Lucius B. Peck for Governor, and will contest the election. Massacrivserts.—There is a decided change in the tone of the whig press of this State. All the prominent journals of Boston, including the .itles, are now quiet in | their opposition to the compromise. There are several journals of less note through the State, which still hold to the ultra doctrines of the abolitionists, and denounce the compromise. The Boston Bee has nominated Mr. Webster es a candidate for the Presidency. which 5 acyuiesced in by nearly all the whig papers of the State. The Boston Post is the only democratic organ in the state whieh strenuously opposes the coalition of that party with the free soil party, and denounces. in stroug | terms, the election of Mr. Sumner to the Senate, and Mr. | Rantoul to Congress. The demoeratic party in this State have made no movement towards « candidate for the Presidency. Prvxevivanis.—There is considerable feeling im this | State upon the question of the next presidency. The | Pemsylranian, the priueipal democratic journal of Phila- deiphia. expresses a preference for Mr. Buchanan, but there are other journals of the same party who favor the | re-momipation of Gen. Cass. The democratic conven- tions have generally spoken in favor of the compromise measureé, and all the democratic journals coincide in the expressions of approval. The whig party are favor- able to the aomination of Gen, Scott for the presidency, and Gov Jchnston is his warm advocate; but the course of Gov. Johnston on the compromise measures is not of a ontisfnetory character to the friends of the measures In 1847, a bill passed the Legislature, refusing the use of the common jails for the custody of fugitive slaves, | which. after the passage of the compromise, it became Becessary to repeal, ax it conflicted with the laws of the _ government jure, ® bill was brought forward and passed, re that portion of the law, and it was sent to Gover Johnston for his signature.

PREFERRED BY THE MEXICANS FOR INDIAN DE- PREDATIONS—FLARE UP IN THE TREASURY DE- PARTMENT—THE FLORIDA CLAI CALIFOR- NIA LAND TITLE COMMISSION—=NAVAL AFFAIRS, ETC. ‘Wasnixotos, May 31,1851. Authentic information from Chihuahua, to the 10th of March, states that upwards of twenty millions of dollars are claimed for damages done to Mexican property by the Indians from this side of the Rio Grande, These claims have been filed with the Mexican authorities for presen- tation to our government under the treaty, which pro- vides that we shall prevent the Indiass from commiting depredatious. No doubt, many of the claims are fraudu- lent, or for damages done by their own Indians, with whom they are on bad terms. This is but a commence- ment, With regard to this matter, the Intelligencer of to-day contains the annexed translation of an adver- tisement from a Chihuahua paper :— Srare Derarruent, Curmuanva, March 5, 1851, The citizens of thie State are bi informed (in confor- i from th nae Mexico) Ca e e of © in of Indians, 9 willforward them to this department, so that ayment demanded. ides Hans and thelr WYADO DE LA VEGA, ‘There has been quite a flare-up between the Secreta- ries of the Interior and the Treasury, and the accounting officers of the treasury. It appears that Secretary Stuart authorized the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to draw on the Treasury Department for forty thousand dollars, tocarry out a treaty with the Minnesota Indians. Seere- tary Corwin approved the matter; but when it came to the First Comptroller, he refused to pass it. Messrs. Corwin and Stuart stormed, and it is said the former told Mr. Whittlesey that if he could not view the matter as they did, he had better resign, The old man said if they chose to turn him out; he was ready; but as for resigning, that was out of the question, The sequel is not yet known. ‘The Attorney General has not yet officially communi- cated his decision on the Florida claims cases, to Secre~ tary Graham Some days since, he informally stated that they shonld go back for adjudication by the federal courts of Florida; but there is a hitch somewhere, which prevents the promulgation of this view. Mr. Harlan, of Kentucky, hus declined the appoint- ment as commissioner to adjust the Cali‘ornia land titles. George Evans, of Maine, has been offered the vacancy, und it is thought will accept. ‘The report of a misunderstanding between the Secre- tary of the Navy and Professor Bache, of the Coast Sur- vey, is not true.

A letter was presented from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Chureh in Ireland, which, after express- ing gratification at the success of Presbyterianism in America, regretted there were in Presbyterian and other churches in America so many persons inyolved in ex- tending the dominion of slavery.
