West, isin her eleventh day, and may be expected at any moment, with four days’ later news from Europe. Summary of the Latest Intelligence. We learn from Mexico, by the way of New Or- leans, that on the second instant the Mexican Con- gress was in session, with closed doors, discussiag the Tehuantepec treaty affair; and that it was the epinion of that august bo ly, that the Tehuantepec railroad company intended to take possession of the Isthmus, and, we suppose, annex it to the Uni- ted States. As soon as they shall be convinced that mo such usurpation was intended, they will, no | doubt, got the better of their fears, grant. ‘We regret to learn that tho cholera is ¢»mmit- ting sad havoc in Jefferson City, Missouri. The approaching cool weather will, no doubt, check its ravages. A variety of miscellaneous news, by telegraph, will be found under the usual head. It will be seen that the accounts of the outrages committed by the Cuban sympathisers in New Orleans, have not been exaggerated. More is the pity; for no cause would be benefitted by such excesses as those that ecourred there, Our Foreign Relations—The Isiand of Cuba and the Sandwich Islands. Any one who observes the signs of the times, can- mot but perceive that the foreign relations of the United States are not only becoming complicated, but are beginnirg to aseume avery important shape. We question if there ever was a time when pro- found statesmanship, knowledge of the law of na- tions, and a firm and determined spirit to maintain inviolate the rights, interests and honor of the Ams Tiean republic, were more needed than they are at the present time. I: bas been said of this journal, that it is in the interest of the filisusteros, and that it advocates the cause of Lopez. Any one who reads our columns attentively, cannot form any such opinion. During the excitement which the execution of the fifty American prisoners by the Spanish authorities cre- ated, we went no further then to say, that if the accounts which we had received of the Spanish troops and the Havana mob having insulted the prisoners on their way to execution, and inflicted wach indignities upon their remains after life had departed as were represented, they were unworthy ef being called a civilized people; aad that such atrocities would react on the government which tolerated them, and excite a feeling in the United States that would result in the freedom of Caba. ‘We also stated, that Spain was destined to lose Cuba eventually; and that the independense and annexation of that island to the United Stater, were only questims of time. If from these pre- mises the conclucion is drawn that the Hwali is a fillibustero organ, those who draw it a welcome to all the capital they can make oat of it We bave always opposed the organization of armed expeditions, to be used against a foreign power with which we are at peace, and have time and agaio denounced Lopez, and exerted our infue ‘Vent enthusiastic young men from ident! selves with his fortunes.

There are already pablished in | the city two French newspapers—the Cowrrier des | Brats Umis, and Le Phare de New York. The for- mer is adaily paper, edited by Mons. P. Arpin, and the latter is a weekly paper, ander the editorial | supervision cf Mons. E. Masseras. The Courrier has already issued twenty-eight yolumes— Le Phare | bas reached its thirteenth number only, and its | political and literary character is not yet so well | established as the daily French newspaper, which | enjoys a very good circulation. There are, also, two Italian and twe Spanish newspapers. The principal Italian paper—L’Eco @ Kalia—is published weekly, has a goed circula- tion, is whig in its polities, and is conducted with much judgment. The editor, Senor Secchi di Casali, is of much use to the government on various topics connected with our foreign trade and with emigration, and he merits the eupport of fair mind- ed and honorable merehants in protecting them from the influences of @ contraband trade. This | paper is particularly suited, also, to those who are studying the Italian language. 4 Proscritto is the new italian paper, of which only four numbers have been printed, edited by Signori A. Maggi and F. Manetta. It gives promise of boing avery useful journal to our Italian countrymen, and will probably be received with great favor, as it is well conducted. The two Spanish papers are | La Cronica and La Verdad. The former has dis- | played great ability in the discussion of important | subjects, and its editor, Senor San Martin, has achieved much distinction by his literary efforts. | It has been devoted to the government of Spain, in | whose rule of Cuba it perceives the best guarantee | of the prosperity of that nd. La Verdad is of | totally different character in its politics. It has been strongly in favor of a revolution in Cuba, and is edited by Madame Cora Montgomery. It is cir- | culated gratuitously There are three German newspapers published in the city, Der Freie Deutsche Catholik, Der Re- | pullixaner, and the Deuts:he Schnellpost. We are | not acquainted with the characters of these jour- | nals; but, from the large German population in | the city and neighborhood, judge that they are well sustained. A new periodical, too, published by Germans, has recently been announced It is to be made up of German and nglish composition, and the design seems to promise success. Four numbers of a paper have appeared, which is | entitled Skund:naven. The Scandinavian popula- tion must value a paper containing s> many sta- | tistics of our country as this. The editor does not | indulge in matters of imagination, bat compresses | into his columns a large amount of valuable infor- mation, which is well calculated to enlighten the people of Scandinavia who emigrate to this coua- | try. ‘The American citizen, who is anxious for the ad- | Yancement of his country in all that is good in civi- | lization, eannot but take an interest in these publi- cations. They must all have more orless inflasnce | on our foreign population, and will prepare immi- grants for understanding our institutions, and for | taking part in the great subjects which must ex- | cite, from time to time, the country of their adop- tion. | | Tue New York Tareeye a Fi.nvsrero.— | It is well known that the New York Tribune has | violently opposed the Cuban movement in this | country, and that whenever cornered in an argu- | ment it is like the “little joker” used by the thim- ble-riggers. You think you have caught it, but, to Your amezement, it is away. It is the most perfect thimble-rig ofa newspaper published. But thim- | ble-riggers are, in the end, always caught. They | may run a career of months or years, but finally | they are cornered and brought to judgment. For years past, the Tribune has waged war against the South and its institutions, in defiance of the constitation of the United States, which, to all intents and purposes, is a treaty between the dif- | ferent States of this confederacy. The course of the | Tribwne in this respect is notorious. To servo its purposes, however, it plays the little joker, and, as in the case before us, pleads treaty obligations as a reason why our citizens should not take part in effecting a revolution in Cuba, and the indepen- dence of that beautiful island. We coineide to some extent with the Tyilune’s argument, but our object in quoting it is to show that that paper, by its own assertion, is a jilbustero, or @ pirate; an invader of the rights of a portion of the American people—rights that are sanctioned by treaty.

This work is said to possess uneom- mon interest; and we have no doubt, from the usual good | judgment of the publishers, that it will claim attention from the readers of romances. A. Guerber & Co., 160 Pearl street, have just published three remarkable views, drawn from nature, by J. Buch- man. One is a bird's eye view of the city of New York; arother of the city of Havana; andthe other of New Orleans. They are from lithographic plates, and executed with a minuteness and fiaish quite merito- rious.
