EXTRACTS FROM OUR FOREIGN FILES, (Opinions In France of Daniel Webster. (From the Paris La Siecle, November 10.) Danie! Webster is not one of those men whose ca- seer can be appreciated in a few words; we cannot record his death without recalling a few of the prin- sipal acts of bis political existance, which com- | menced ip 1812, under the Presidency of the very | akilful Madison. | At that time Danicl Webster, born in 1782, ofa | Seottish family, established in New Hampsbire since the settlement of the colony, already possessed considerable reputation asa member of the bar | His oratorical debut placed him in the foremost ranke, where he always maintained bis position, in front of Calhoun and Clay. A spirited delivery and ample form compensated in Webster for what might be wanting in grace and manner. Fike Clay, he pronounced himself, in 1823, in fa- dependence of (ireece, and of the Span- ish colonies. His finest oratorieal triampk was in 1830, when he opposed the odious theory of the nullification of the debts of the particular States. In 1836, he presented himself as candidate for the Presidevey, t opposition to General Jackson, who came forward for the second time. Useless to sey that he was defeated, but what it may not be amiss to repeat, is that he obtained but eight votes—those | of Connecticut—if our memory serves us correctly. | Instructed by this defea:, Webster, in 1840, ad- vooated the election of General Harrison, who ap- pointed him Secretary of State, which post he retaine ed under Mr. Tyler, who necame President by the | death of Harrison As minister, Webster, in 1843, | me eens Lord Ashburton the treaty which gavea | solution to the question reputed incapable of solu- | tion, of the frontiers of the west between the United States and England. This, we think, is his finest | title asa statesman. Having once more joined the | ition, in 1845, he opposed the annexation of ‘exas, and the war with Mexico, then, by one of apparent inconsistencies in which events are | apt to throw political men, he was induced to advo- eate the election of Genoral Taylor, who had become —— by that ay bea iy fat he was appeinted Secretary of State, and a second time was | maintained in office by the Vice President, on be- eoming President. Yor of the Daniel Webster, attacked by a disease of the | 4} stomach, died in the full enjoyment of his intellec- tual faculties. His physician having declared that be might relicve him but not eave him, he answered in a loud, firm voice, ‘‘ Well, so be it ; on the 24%b | = of October all that is mortal of Daniel will have ceased to exist.” He then bad his family farewell, and expired at three o’clock in the morving. They are going fast—they are almost all gone— the statesmen bora with the American Independence. After Jackson, the man with the iron will, came | Qalhoun ; after Calhoun, Clay; and after Clay, | Webster sinks into the grave. But there isin this nothing at which we must wonder or complain every generation in turn must come anilend a hand | to the work prescribed to the human race. A great | democracy never stands in need of men to lead the van and reach its goal, now by one route, now by another Did not James K Polk suddenly arise from obscurity when an intellect sufficient to carry on the war with Mexico was wanted? Honor then to the iliustrious dead. Confidence in the future. The Search for Sir John Franklin. [From the Londen Globe. } It is with no small gratification that we announse the return from the Arctic regions ot the Isabel screw steamer, under Commander Inglefield, R N , who has, during an absence from Hogland of four months only, delineated and searched a longer line of coast than, we believe, has ever been laid down within the same period by any one yet employed | im the search for Sir Joan Fravklin’s expedition. Captain Inglefield sailed from Greenhithe for Davis's Btraits on the 5th of July last. He arrived at Disco Islands, the usual rendezvous of vessels preceeding | to the nerth, and thenee proceeded to search the | whole north eoast of Baffin’s Bay, and the various | inlets and channels peasing cas of it, beginning with Welstenholm Sound and Whale Sound, which las- ter presented two large openings to the north east- ward. On entering Sith Sound, at the head of Baffin’s Bay—long considered as a promising ficid for discovery—the passage widened until it beceme @ broad expanse of open water, and it ssemed as if the little Isabel were upon the verge of the long- talked of Polar basin It being evident that Sir Jobn Franklin's party had not passed through this opening, her course was directed to Jones’s Sound, ich was penetrated as far as eighty five degrees west longitude—very far beyond any preceding ex- pedition ; when, being arrested by ice, Captain In- glefield was obliged to stop short. Heace ne pro- @eeded to Boecby Island, where he found the North Star, and gladdened the hearts of all at the depot po i the numerous letters and despatches which had becn put an board the Isabel before lesv- ing England ere he arrived a fortnight after | the departure of the Prince Albert, and learned that Sir Edward Belsher’s progrese had apparently continued unobstructed, and that no ice had been seen in Wellington Channel up tothe 5ch of Sap- tember. After a sojourn of twelve hours only at Beechy Island, the commander set out upon his piss age Cown the wes: side of Davis's ‘ait, insend- ing to proceed along the coast, but # succession of furious gales bafiled repeated a:tempts to keep in | With the land, and, most reluctantly #s it would ap '» Captain Inglefield shaped his course fog Eag- tag’ having at last been compelled by heavy wea- ther in the Bentland Firth to take refuge in Strom- ness harbour, whence the news of his return bag reached us. It is eatisiactorily demonstra‘ed that Franklin bas rot been driven into Baffia’s Bay from the north, nor been wrecked within thit part of tho Arctic region, nor proceeded in any other direction than that long since pointed out, so that we may direet out undivided attention towards the quarter whither Sir Edward Belcher is pressing forward an- der circumstances the most favorable that can bo desired.

TERRIPLE DISPUTE BETWEEN TURKEY AND PERSIA A curious subject of dispute between Curkey and Persia bas lately occurred, with which, as it be- longs exclusively to good Mussuimans, we unbeli ert may scarcely presume to meddle However, as blocdy wars and tumu!ts have often arisen from less causes, we may at least be allowed to detail the simple facts. The other day the good city of Pehe- | ran was thrown into a violent tumult by the appear- ance of a large red flag hoisted over the Turkish embarry, with the words thereon, ‘‘tiod ie God, Mshomed is His Prophet, Aboubeker, Osman aad Oman are the Calipbe of God.” This open and flagrant display of Sumnite horesy was considered | the greatcet insult and abuse of hospitality that she Turkish ambacsador could possibly offer to the Per- sieve. Had Cardinal Wiseman attempted to per- form high mass in St. Paul’s be eould noi b ited greater indignation amongss a Pro ote in a Protestant capital than did this muer amongst the strics followers of the mar- tyr Ali in the stronghold of their faish. A courier was instantly despatched to Constan- tinople from the Court of Persia, bearing a large , een flag, with ordere to have it hois:ed on the | orsian emoessy, having the words * God is God, | Mahomed is bis Prophet, and Ali is the Lion-of God,” in distinet letvers on ite ample folds.

If there were not another undertsking commenced for the next twelve months, enoagh would be found to exist to absord all the surplus capital of the country. Not half of the subgoribere to new projects have the means or in- | tention to remain shareholders. They may meet the first or second call, and then realise a according to the state of the market, leaving othera to enstam the subsequent drain. Every one can see the riewspepers filled daily and weekly with elaborate announcements of new concerns, but few, perhaps, have an idea of the aggregate. A large number of the projects are for # ‘ently usefal objects, and even those to be carried out in foreign countries, and which, it might be supposed, would be taken up es or a loss, | by local capitalists, may, under honest administra- | tien, yield good returns. The very same might be said, however, of the worst periods of former specu- lation and excitement. There was seldom a com- pany started that had not some plausible aim, and | pendence, the question then, as now, becomes narrowed into a | one of the vice-royaities into whieh the @penisn domin. circle remote from such considerations The main points that present themselves are: first, whether the capite] is to be sent out of the country ; and secondly, whether the means exist to ac- complish what is proposed. It has usually been estimated that the surplus annual income of the United Kingdom is some thirty to forty millions sterling, and it may be well to inquire whether we bave exceeded that limit, still bearing in mind that the most material master is, how much of the total will be sent abroad, and how much re- distributed here. In five months, according to a ta- poe cint tee ben the cornet is ttle 153 com; les have been prejected, or more than one per diem. This is between the Ist of June and the end of October ultimo. The total capital asked for is about £42,000 000, and the hal pe £12,000,000. above @ million of thie deposit, and as many have not been paid mn, nor are aly to bo, we may conclude that off the million we could fairly strike one half. This leaves the total sum at present locked up for new British railways, extremely moderate, and covsider- ing that no further amounts will be wanted until | acte of Parliament are obtained, and that when the works are commenced, the payments will be ual and extended, there is not ich to find fault with be left to perform the weeding process, where rival and ineceepedile lines are submitted, and it is well known that some of these can Loner Tee taken up, for the simple reason that the old companies may be bought inthe market at a discount. Guarantees alone seem a tempt- ation. The foreign railway schemes are much more formidable Those b.ought out within tho five months named Ly ieee over fourteen millions of capital, apd a million and a half of deposite, while all the colonial lines, including the new capital re- quired for the Eaet India Railway, need less then three millions, with a deposit of about £250,000. Our readers may judge, however, whether this con- yey an adequate notion of the drain we have to ap- prehend when they glance at Stock Exchange thare lists, and learn from the city correspondent | the enormous business that is doing in French and Belgian shares, a large supply of which has uo- doubtedly been sent ovor. Again, there are many American railway shares taken up hore, thoagh bonds form the staple for dealing. Perhaps it is near the mark to assume that within the last few months two or three millions of additional capital has been subscribed and invested here in United States Bonds; but oar great firms, such as Baring and Rothechild, manage these things so quietly that it ie difficult to make even an approximate estimate. We know that Mr. Thomas Baring, now in America, is actively epgaged in entering into contracts, and without ering one word against the nature of the security, which we believe is for the most part ex cellent, we ask in wil] our surplus means allow of such wholesal ticipation in good things. If | we could pay for the greater portion in calicoes or hardware, the difficulty would be solved. From railways to banks is a natural transition. These, fortunately, are to have their seat of opera- tions priocipally in cur colonies. tions could be named, their total requirements near half a million, but to such, we imagine, few wil contribute, the direction of one being purely foreign. Mining companies it is less easy to speak of. Tocy must all be more or less of a speculative character, and probably few more so than those started for encouraging gold exploration, while to the steam navigation companies we may give unqualified ap- proval, and to the miscellancous undertakings a guarded consent, according to their merits.

The question whether Chiriqui gs to Nueva Granada or Costa Rica is easily answered. It is, and has ever been, a part of the former, and for the following reasons :— 1, Nueva Granada was. before the war of inde) ions in America were divided. The limits of those viee- royalties were clearly defired and after the revolution, when the different republies constituted themselves, they were recognized, and formed the boundaries between the new States Thusthe royal deeree of November, 1803, assigned to Nueva Granada the ince of Vi 18, of which Chiriqui is a portion. and Atlantic eoast as far as Cape Gracias a Dios.

[From the Univerral, October 25 } We yesterday indulged in a few refloxions with Tegard tothe new Minister of State, Mr. Yanez © shall to day call the attention of the new Minis- ter to the various intricate questions that are to re- quire his most particular attention Let all those who take up eudgels for the present administration say what they will, there is one thing certain: Mexico has never been in a situa*ion as painfully critical as that in which she now finds herself. From our independence to the present: time, we have certainly made no headway in the route ef progrers; but to Mr. Arista and his govern- ment was reserved the sad honor of introducing eontention with every branch of mat, to witness, unmoved, the most frightful Pree to complicate the affairs of the country abro: to plunge the nation, in fine, into an abyes whence none but a master hand and a powerful, ereating will, can only extricate her. It were vain to scan our horizon with the ae to find one single bright spo', one single star of ho) or consolation. @ want of concord evinced by the government in its course with regard to the revolution that has broken out in different parts of country, has been productive of all the pernicious effects that were to bo expected. The overthrow of social order has been most incredibly disregard- ed. so long as it was thought that only the local au- thorities were threatened, and the latter have been utterly cine ened and abandoned. The indiffer- ence with which the hostile movements at Jalisco and Mazatlan, were viewed, #0 long as they did not assume a decidedly hostile appearance against the general government, preduced two results equally injurious to order and peace—firstly, the encouragement thereby given the party of the revo lution; and secondly, the want of confidence which the local governments began, and justly, too, to en- tertain towards the general government, when they saw that the latter abandoned them to their fate, so long ag ee only were the attacked. And sedi- tion, meanwhile, has pursued the tenor of its way, and the conflagration spreads;into Morelia, and Ve- ra Cruz rises in open sedition. And while this is going on in the States, the general government of the whole nation is under the sad necessity of com- ing before the House and Senate with the sad and shameful confession that it isdying of hunger, that itis wholly destitute of resources, and is ata loss where to look for any; and while the government says it is, unfortunately, impossible to deny that there is a word of untruth in this piteous tale, and while at home it is powerless to put down rebellion, while to pro- claim its incapacity and impotency, what do we see abroad? Tehuantepec, the Spanish conven- tions, tho feul question of the two millions and a half!—on all sides, in every direction, difficulties, troubles, dangers and threats. But we will not enter into details; we only point out generally the serious and multiplied dangers surrounding us, so that if Mr. Yanez bas indeed stipulated to be the minister, and not the amanuensis, of the President, and if it be true that he is to select his own oo- workers in the cabinet, he may be convineed of the urgent necessity of some remedy, and that this must be sought for with other men, anothor policy, and other ideas We have eleewhere manifested our repugnance for ministerial programmes. We deem them gone- tion is now such that we entreat of Mr. Yanez to come forward, with his hand upon his heart, and truth upon his lips, to tell the Mexican people what he intends to do, end what spirit is to pervade his administration. This we have aright to require Confidence is nesteoye3) respect for the supreme authority has been fost; the very life of society is extinct, or nearly eo. He must, therefore, be ex- plicit and sincere; no false promises, no empty de- clemation, no ridiculous threats, no trite, seb pbrases, but the truth, and nothing but the truth, the declaration of the intentions of the govern- ment, and a sincere recognition of its This tho situation demands, and we cal Yanez to come forward frankly and loyally, if he decs not wish to participate in the opprobrium that has already fallen upon some persons, and be in cluded in the cures of a whole people more worthy of sympatby than of reprobation er censure. MICHOACAN. The news received from this State continue to be ofavery alarming character. There is acarcely a community of any importance in the whole province that has pot joined the standard of Bahamonte. The authority of Ocampo and his governement, is acknowledged nowhere but in the city of Morelia, which it is expected, will be attacked very shortly, by the forces of the insurgents. Those who are | well informed pretend that affairs are much more | apis and threatening in Michoacan than in | SCO. OPERA—SALVI AND STEFFANONE. {From the Universal, October 27 } To morrow is the day appointed for the benefit of the distinguished artist, Sieffanone. The Mexican public, which ia generous in the extreme, even to- wards those who do not deeerve it, will we are sure, | give another proof of its regard for its favorite artist, the only first rate singer, that has visited our country, and the only one who has kept up the interest of the company from the first nights, and has by her very great merit in a measure atond for the want of talent of the other membors of the company It bas been rumored for some days that Signor Salvi refused to act upon the occasion of this benefit. We ourselves said something upon the subject, and £/ O, den repeated what we said. Mr. Salvi has addressed us a letter which wo elsewhere Bive our readers, and in which he seeks to free him- self from the eharges made against him. We for our part shall merely tell Mr Salvi, that the fre- quency and the occasions of his indipositions, have erawn the attention of the public too strongly, aad that it will be a difficult mntver for him to effce the recollection of his fuult, and above all of his refusal to perform at Signora Steffanone’s benefit. We must, however, to some extent rejoice at the commission of this fault, as the matter now stands, the sole attraction to draw the public is Sigaora Bteffanone, and we will see that this celobrated artist needa the astistances of no one to enable hor te obtain the expression of approbation which she, and only she, bas known how to deserve. Che following is the letter from Salvi, alluded to in the above SALVE, TO TA RESPECTABLE PUBLIC, IN REPLY TO AN ARTICLE IN THE ORDEN UNDER DATE OF OCTORER That gentlemen such as you should undertake the de- fence of & handseme young lady and a sublime artist, and thereby have the probability, if not the certainty, of suc- cess on your side is certainly very natural.

LORENZO BALYI. PROGRESS OF VOLUTION, ETC —GUANAJUATO, [Prom the Menioo Universal, Oct, 30.) This morning the supreme received an extraordinary messenger from Guanajuato, des- patched by Mr. Munoz Ledo, who informed his Ex- cellency the President that Goneral Uraga was at the plantation of La Cueva, with four hundred men and two pieces of artillery; that it was his intention to attack the capital; and that, in consequence, corps of government troops had been despatched to surprire that general. This corns reached the Cueva balf an hour after General Uraga had aban- doned the place. He had taken the road to Pen- jemo, for which reason it is supposed that he had ‘proceeded to join the forces of Bahamonde. ORIZAVA It is euppored that the revolution of Vera Cruz must terminvted, because Messrs. Lopez and Slavo have condercended to resign their offices, the former of political chief of the city, and the other that of the National Guard. Worthy of )» ine deed, is the disinterestedness and condescension of those gentlemen, and still more worthy would it have been, had they, before so much blood had been shed, resolved to abandon their position, for the could not but know that, justly or unjustly, their reons were a pretext for revolution. It is stated hat Mr. José Gutierrez Villanueva is the political ehief substituted in the place of Mr. Lopez. Weare very glad to hear this, as Mr. Villaneuva is known to be a man of excellent parts. MICHOACAN. 5 The intelligence received from that qnarter conti- nues to be alarming in the extreme. Bahamonde, the leader, had entered Patzcuaro with five hundred men, infantry and cavalry, having left forces behind at Zamora, Piedad, La Barca, and Purepero. Besides the towns of Acutzeo, Amatian, Apatringan, Tancitaro, Thipitio, and Uruapan, had also armed to support him: artillery, which left this capital a few days since, had reached Morelia, where they wore preparing an expedition agaiost Behamonde, a’ Patzcuaro. . Ocampo hopes that the new leader to whom he is about entrusting the forces of the State, will be more fortunate than was commander Ruiz against Bahamonde. The pronwnciados, (insurgents,) had proclaimed Mr. Mercado, Governor of the State, and Bahamon- de, commander general of the troops. Mr. Mercado is a men of inflexible energy, and Mr. Ocampo will find in him a formidable adversary. What occurred in the case of Mr. Mercado, clearly shows the fruit which must be expected from the couse fol- lowed by the government under the present circumstances ie was quietly settled down in private life when they sought to arrest him a: sue picious He then had to look for salvation in flight, and now * * * * Perhaps in the course of time we shall ascertain the full extent of the results proceed- ing from this imprudent step of Governor Ocampo. AGUIRRE AND THE SECRETARYSHIP. We have just received the following few lines. | with the sentiments of which we fully agree :— ‘10 THE EDITORS OF THE UNIVERSAL, Ocropen 25, 1852. GentLEMEN—Now that the accusations against Secre- tary Aguirre are daily increasing. on account of his de- cree on the press, it would, perhaps, not be amiss to call The veingeroement of eighty men and one piece of | dent that they are far from + for the at vapeais blic fis rith them; a. ion of the are faith to Bpain, and fected are of class from whom no ver at expectations may ve formed in cage of an ection They are of the middle rank, having homes and fortunes to lose, and fear- ful of any course which may place them in jeo- perdy. They are not tho mem for revolutionista, and there is not amy class in Cuba who could supply their place. If, indeeJ, the Creoles would come to the determination to give liberty to tho slaves, to- arm them as allies againstthe present power, there would be a chance of success. But that has never been mooted. The Creoles are anxious for liberty for the whites, but they have no more iden of free- | dom for others than thelr neighbors of the South- rn States. It is more particularly to the American weholders that they look for assistance in their rebellion, and if they obtain it, it will be because it is hoy that Cuba will strengthen the slave- power of the Union The Ame: under | present government would rather assist the Spanish government than the Creoles, were the latter to promise liberty to the slave. That the ps ot of the disaffected party was not great, was sbundantly evident from the total al of effort on behalf of Lopez and his little company ; aad although they may have increased in numbers since, in con- fequence of the harshness of the IY appear evidence has been produced which shows the disaf- fected, by themeelves, are prepared to aseert and | maintain their right to self government. They have | not nearly a majority of the fiactag? with them—they | are without the munitions of war, and they have ae | personal advantages to compentate for their defi- ciexcies. Their only hope lies in the aid which they may receive from their neighbors. That a large portion of the American people de- sire the emancipation of Cuba cannot be doubted. The North desires unrestricted trede—the South would like to strengthen the slave power by annexa- tian, and the West is always eagor for any new and irited enterprise. But that the American ple will seriously undertake the annexation of Cuss to the United States by force of arms no one is pared to believe. No valid excuse could - by be given by Spain for any open attack, jes | judgment remains with her rulers, and the Ai | can people would nct dare to violate international law, and all the dictates of justice and gerne by making an onslanght on a peaceable. unoffend- ing neghbor. Ifail other influence should the interference of the Ei wers Wo be called for, and would undoub' be ited. Already France, it is said, has entered into s treaty with Spain, and has put her cruizers in the Gulf of Mexico under the orders of the Captaig- General of Cuba. Some of the noisy jillibusteros are endeavorizg st this moment te raise an issue between the United States goverament and that | of Cuba, about the affair of Mr. Purser Smith, of the Crescent City ; but nothing eould be more absurd. The clerk of the steamer was Cel ge rightly or wrongly, by the Spanish autho: , of carrying despatches from the disaffected on the island to their fellow conspirators in New York, | and notice was given that no vessel with him on | board would be allowed to hold eommunication | with the island. It may be very absurd in the government to make such an order, because other attention to the fact which ecems to be lost sight of by the honorable ministers, companions of Mr Aguirre, that they are all of them ‘ible for that decree. The decree express!y states that it was decided upom in the spate or assembly of ministers, and that, 4 ir, Aguirre is direstly responsible for the decree in ques- tion, for naving authorized it, the other minlsters must share tbat responsibility in the eyes of the world, and that, out of delicacy as well as consistency, they murt leave their poste, if, as they say, this gentleman retires from ¢ffice. A SUBSCRIBER. RUMORS OF RESIGNATION. There was s rumor afloat yesterday, founded we know not on what, that His Excellency the Presi- | dent, thought of renouncing his post. We cannot Place. much confidence in this report, although the cares and troubles of office must have long since diggusted President Arista, while the highly threat- eni must certainly inspire him with alarm We repeat, however, that we give no credit to the rumor. COUNTER ORDERS. | Yesterday, we were informed that orders had been given, that forces should leave the capital, and proceed to Michoacan, but that these orders had been countermanded, and that none, not even a part of them, would leave the capital. It would seem that the government fears some movement in the capital itee! | | The Cuban ——— 2 Canadian Point of | ‘he we [From the Toronto Globe, Nov. 26.) | Since the close of the Presidential contest, our excitablo neighbors have devoted themselves almost exclusively to the discussion of the Cuban Ree and have been assisted in so doing by the light thrown upon the subject by the English press. ba is the only remaining possession of Spain on Cul this side the Atlantic. One after another the great | territories brought under her sway by the bravery and enterprise of her sons in the time of her vigor | and prosperity, have been wrested from her grasp. Her colonial policy was established in the days of Ferdinand and I:abella, and, with true Spanish adberence to ancient rules, ii been maintained unaltered through suczeasive generations. Tho viceroy was the supreme ruler of the provincs, and the test of his merits was the amount of the precious metals which he eould extract from his subjects, te eupport at home an extravagant court and an im- overished people. The governor was required to load the annual convoy of galleons with treasure; the mode in which he did this, or the share of plun- der which he retained for himself was seldom in- uired into. Weatied with tyranny and exac- tion, Mexico, Peru, and the,smaller States, threw off the yoke and established their independence. The introduction of constitutional government into the Peninsula had no effect in changing the policy towards that smail pertion of its colonial depen- | dency which remained. The government of Cub. is identically the same as that which excited the of the South American Pree a Btill governors are rent out whore only duty it is to suck the life- blood of commerce by enormous imposts—to pro- vent by every means the spread of knowledge and education—to exercise a censorship on the press —to contre) the movements of inplividuals —to keep in force the spy system of Europe. Unlike our motber-coun‘ry, Spain has attempted to maintain | order in her colonies by the strong hand of impe- rial authority, instead of the free suffrages of ths colonists; bas attempted te make her profit from them by direct imposts, rather than by cul;ivating a free and generous commerce. Cuba is a magaificeat country, rich in natural resources, and presenting opportunity for im provement to almost an ualimised | extent. Teeming with the baser metals—more valuable than thoze with greater glitter—and coal, without which they are almost useless, as a miniog country it is almost unrivalled, and in the produc- tion of every agricultural produc: of » genial oli- | mate ne part of the world excelsit. Tue quantity | of sugar, tobacco, and coffee, which are dis charged from the ports of Matanzis and Havana, is amazing, when we consider under what a gov: | ernment and state of society they aro prodaced. | This wealth of production has caused the islaad to become @ great trading country, and has created a class of merchants of considerable wealth among the Spanish Creoles, as well se drawn te it great numbers of French, English, and American residents. Tho United States, more particularly from their pcoximi! to the island, and the demand for breadstuifs ax lumber, which they can more readily supply than any other country, with the single exception of the Batish North American provinces, drives a large and growing trade with the Cubans. Many of the Awericansbave become resident in Havana, and have even en ered into plantiog and other spaculations in the interior of the island. The whole population of the country is estimated at about 1,500,000, nearly one half of whom, probably between six and seven hundred tho 4, are Creoles, that is to say, na- tives of Cuba of European extraction, while the rest are slaves, free negroes, and natives of Spain. Among the Creoles, which includes ali the middle | class, it has long been the custom to send their eons and daughters to Franeo, England, and to the United States, for that education which they could not find at home It is not to be wondered at, then, considering tho foreign trade, tho rosi- dence of strangers, and the new ideas iatro- duced by the young people Mag ed up in free States, that the white population should know well and feel deeply all the evilsinflicted by their govern- ment, and anxiously lock for some means of removing the burden which weighs them dewn. They see the procecds of injurious restrictions upon commerce carricd home to be expended in Madrid ball fights, or wasted in supporting extravagant armaments to keep themselves in eubmission ; they see their mag- nificent country with resources not half developed, becanse of the want of internal communication, which an energetic governement would supply, they see no efforts made or permitted to supply that eda- cation which alone cun permanently advaoce the prosperity of the people; what wonder is it that tbey should sigh for the advantages of self govern- mnt and be ready for almost any step which might bring it to them ? Itis impossible for any liberal man to withhold his sympathy for a people #0 sita~ ated; more especially can colonists appreciate the roflerings of the Cuban Creoles, and readily wish them gocd rpecd in any measure of relief which af- fords & prospect of success = The queation of Cuban emancipation, is, howover, involved in difficulties Spain ¢ ings to the island with a tenacity not to have boon expected from government ro feeble.

The owners of the vessel persist in pearing mith to the port, in hopes that the Spaniards wil use violence in order to exclude him, and thus cre- ate a disturbance. It is to be hoped that the Cubsa authorities will do no such thing, but will insic | firmly on the exclusion of the person who has offended against their laws. Mr. Fillmore has misao, declined to take up this quarrel, and we de | not think that even @ domocratic, progressive Pre- | sident, could derive from it any serious casus belli. The hope of the Creoles does not rest, then, in the government, but rather in the people of the United States, or, with more ‘iety, we might say, the wild, lawless po} tion of the) at cities, and the disbanded soldiery of the| exican war, who are want ig about. secking| whet they may devour. Their confidence is laced in an expedition like that which, under pes met so melancholy a fate, but one of larger numbers, and better provided with the munitions of war.
