Our Washington Correspondence. Wasureron, Jan. 10, 1852. The Impossibility of Establishing a Republic in Cuba. It has been objected, in my letter of last week, that ‘the prediction that a state of “ anarchy and confu- gion” would follow the atterapt to establish a re- | turer of public in the Island of Cuba, was somewhat extrava- gant, if not un-American, With those who entertain the latter opinion, it would be vain to enter upon a | facture of an discussion. With the advantage of some little expe- rience of foreign countries, I have long entertained ‘the belief that political education must necessarily precede political regeneration; and if it be urged that in our own prosperous and already wonderfully extended country, the experiment of self-government, ‘or republicanism, has proved in the widest sense suc- cessful, let it be borne in mind thatin every essential particular, our forefathers were republican, from the landing of the pilgrims at Plymouth, and that it was the attempt to deprive them of their long cherished rights, which first kindled the flame of revolution. In the successful achievement of that glorious move- ment, we but threw off the yoke of the English Monarch, and created a government responsible to urselves, under a constitution which secured us | against the violation of rights inherent in a free ; such as were, in fact, our then brethren of anchored isle—rights which, in England, no British statesman would have dared to invade, if he had not expected and been prepared for a renewal of the days of Cromwell or the second James. The revolution which severed our connection with England was the consequence of the attempt to intro- duce despotic rule among & free people; but it left us the same people as we were before—the same poli- tical domestic habits—the same devotion to those principles of rational freedom which self-exiled our ancestors; and, however great, and, indeed, mar- vellous,have been the results in seventy years, be- cause, I may perhapsventure to say, of our political views and feclings we might, with a plausibility that is too obvious, and, perhaps, too melancholy, advert to the abortive attempts of the former colonies of Spain to establish similar systems of government ‘among a people so totally different from ours in all fete social, religious, and, excuse me if I add, moral bits. It would be unjust to den; social habits, the people of S) generous and hospitable; but America are eir natural love of pleasure, stimulated by the seductions of a climate of | almost unequalled salubrity, and Ge age to out- door and simple enh unfits (if I may wse the expression) them for the more grave attention to the imperative duties, and oftentimes gacrifices, which each citizen of a republic is expect- ed to perform, or to submit to for the public service or benefit, and hence they the more easily fall a prey to the designs of demagogues.

Our literature treats of the subject in all its length and breadth, whilst that of Spai a part of the daily lessons of the in ineuleates only a blind and unwaver- ing obedience to the monarch as an emanation from | the Creator. In the United States public officers are public servants. In Spain they are the masters of the people, who look upon them as only the infe- rior emanations of that divine power which has in- vested the monarch with his crown and sceptre. Would —vote for the candidate of our choice—return quietly to our families, and, with a few exceptions, wait the result with at least calmness, if not indif- ference, and opponents if they prove to have been successful.

We have had a very exciting week. The first in- telligence of the accident that happened on the rail wd near Andover was received here about three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, and represented that Genera! Pierce himself had been killed. More reliable accounts came quickly, and the vague sensa- tions that the first report had given rise to gave place to a feeling of strong vathy with the be reaved parents, who had been deprived so sv aly and in a manrer so shocking, of their only child. It was indeed a terrible affair, and more forcibly exem- yo to recogni . Plifies the mutabilities of human life than ar centevent. It almost for “uth in the Grecian idea of Nemesis, and to | = one the iat man is never so near to great sorrow wher ending on the pinnacle of earthly fortuac.

And the gods took him at his word—for his two sons, aged twelve and fourteen yea > the one five days before, and the other three days after his triumph over the destruction of the kir dom of Alexander. it almost seems as if the mi tone that has been experienced by General Pig the severest that can fall to the lot of man 4s in the nature of that which the stern old Roman thought must come upon either “ victor, victim,’ or his country. Several persons, who have seen General Pierce since Wednesday, assure me that he bears hi< los with Christian fortitude—which only 1 1 sup: pore, that he, in compliance with a cer ort of gga’ by, does not give utterance to his grief; but it is not to be inferred that he does not suffer deeply and is not to be pitied.

A suspension of opinion in the case of Mr. Wilson Wngraver, arrested on the charge of count ‘ing, is asked by his friends. Altogether, it is a singular af fair, and one hardly knows what to make of it. The fact that he was employed in detecting counterfeiters feaves room for two hypothesres—the first, that he is the victim of a conspiracy; and the second, that he has been availing himself ot the facilities of his posi tien to plunder his employ and the The Mr. Choate mentioned as one i, Choate. here was a tremendous explosion at the ywde} Will of Col.

From the man- ner of Mr. Molina’s mies from line to line, it is ti clear he cannot legally claim any line but the real one established by the uti poserdetis. Costa Rica is well aware that all she can wrest from New Granada, beyond this line towards David, will be clear gain, because, if forced to retire to the old line, her boundaries will be the same as before. Mr. Mo- lina wishes Mr. Paredes to leave the extremely diffi- cult and serious question to be arranged by arbitra- | tion between England and the United States, both | great nations, and ready to render justice to both | sides; but should New Granada consent to such an arrangement, she will at once become the dupe and slave of Costa Rica. Witness the boundary dispute, which affair was left to the arbitration of those great powers, one, whose subjects held the coast of Mos- uito in abeyance, and the other, whose citizens held the right of way, bordering on the territory. What was the result? Costa Rica, of course, carried her point and gained a province. we So it will be with Chiriqui, if the affair is to be Jeft with England and the United States. The first | step they will take will be to ponderate on the great- | ness and magnitude of New Granada, to get up a feeling of sympath; for her very diminutive neigh- bor, as she is small, and wishes to at the ex- pense of the other. New Granada cannot refuse the small strip of land, especially when it is asked as a very great favor for a very small neighbor, by such great and powerful nations as England and the Unit- ed States. Of course, the subjects of Lowis Napo- leon are very much interested in the affair, as some of them hold a grant to open a road through Costa Rica. Thus the case stauds, and poor New Granada, if she submits to be cajoled and duped into a false feeling of generosity for her small friend, Costa Rica, will find herself, tarde o temprano, despoiled of one of the finest provinces in the confederacy, merely for the sake of being great and generous to her sympa- Hee friends, England, France, and the United tates. ‘The New Granadian Minister recommends the go- vernment here to make a grant of all the lands bor- dering on the disputed line, to some enterprising com- pany of foreigners, for the purpose of colonization, which will at once neutralize the claims and preten- sions of Costa Rica. The Camara here is adopting the proper mode to secure dominion over the dis- puted ground, and has already conceded two large grants to Americans residing here, which, together, extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. You may have seen in oneof your New Yorx He- RALD’s, an account of Mr. Morrell’s mining at Boca del Toro. The Costa Rica Minister asserts positively that Mr. Morrell is mining on Costa Rica soil, ata place called Terrova. Now, you may just inform the editor of the New York HzRaup of Mr. Molina’s mistake. Mr. Morrell denounced the coal minesin the | Camara of this province, and obtained a privilege to work them from the authorities of Chiriqui. You may judge of this argument of Mr. Molina to Mr. Pa- redes, at Washington, to enforce the claim. Terrova is located a long distance from Boca del Toro. It is beyond Golfo Dulce, some distance. Mr. Morrell be- ing a Frenchman, if he believed Costa Rica had any claim to Boca del Toro, would not trouble himself abont soliciting a grant trom this province, when he could have gone to work without any trouble, under the sanction of the Costa Rica authorities. Our land grant has been finished by the Governor, who put his broad seal on it yesterday. Don Pedro La Roy, the lumber man here, who has gone into partuership with Don Juan Montecatini, is wild ubout the land. He has been travelling and examin- ing the country around, to select a site for his saw | mills, and is very anxious to enter into negotiations | with us. Don dlastico Romero, our Governor, | tells us there are vast quantities of quartz rock at a | place called ‘‘Brenon;” al¥o, there are many streams | | with gold in them. All it wants is to tho- | roughly explore these Jands, to find them as rich ‘in productions as the Californias are. | Besides this, there are mines of coal, copper, | lead, zine, and iron in abundance. The im- | menze nunber of cocoanut trees on the Burica coast | renders it of great value, either for oil or gathering | the nuts to export. There has been discovered in | the neighberhced an immense lot of the cacao | | (chocolate); it appears there was once a large estate | | of this fruit there many years ago. You know the | | vast importance of the Nana for comme! facilities, | also for colonizing purposes, the excellence of the | many ports, there ure on this side of Punta Barica, q came in; the colored 5 “what ailed her;’’ she said that the white woman, had struck her; deceased was then sitting down upon & barket, and the colored woman raised her foot and kicked her off it; I cannot say whether the deceased fell against the stove or not; Curly then began to gather u| things; by this time deceased got up and endeavored to prevent her so. Here the witness detailed the cir- cumstances of a general pulling and hauling, with tearing of dresses, ke. When Catharine Curly went down, told her not to come up to Mrs. Reynolds any ‘more, ts would fetch down her child to her; the colored woman left the room the same time as I did; ‘the colored woman and Mrs. Curly returned to tho room after the child, and they ‘began to quarrel ; L went away to get an officer; on Die return I found’an officer there, and he prevented me rt ‘up to the room; we had been all drinking on Tuesday evening: I saw one pint of brandy brought in; the de- ceased fell down and I helped her up; Catharine Curly gave the deceased the black eye; when I assisted the de- Ceased to get up she was sensible; the night before her death she had convulsions, and was insensible for half an hour; she was subject to fits. ‘Ann Sleighan, sworn—I reside at No. 70 Orange street; Tiinew the decesued; on Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock, she came to my room door and said that Catharine Curly had been kicking her; she said, ‘She will kill me before my children come home;’ she was then bleeding upon the side of the face; I told her to go round and tell the man of whom I hired; she did not do so, but went up stairs again; there was then quiet up to six o'clock; about this hour they commenced makinga great noise up stairs; I went up with a light after two men; I did not see a blow struck; deceased was lying upon the floor; there was “murder” eried out; Catharine Curly and ‘the colored woman were in the room; the colored woman was drunk when she came from it. Medical testimony was given as to the nature of the injuries, After a charge from Coroner Wilhelm, the jury returned the following verdict:—We find that the deceased, Catharine Reynolds, came to her death from injuries re~ ceived from the hands of Catharine Curly and Sophia Westbrook, between the seventh and eleventh days of January, particularly upon the eleventh, in the afternoon. The tev Women are detained in custody to await the action of the Grand Jury. The deceased was a native of Ireland, and forty years of age. Finss.—About half past five o'clock last fevening, a fire occured amongrt some old building material lying'in the houses Nos. 35 and 37 Broadway. As the houses are un- inhabited and the lumber was nearly useless, the loss was quite inconsiderable, In a short time after, the bells rang a second alarm, owing to a smoke which was coming {rom the samo premises. A slight fire occurred at nine o'clock on Wednes- day evening, in a carpenter's shop situate in the rear of No. 168’ Duane street. Damage trifing. There is scarcely any doubt but it was the work of an incendiary. DEATH OF THE CHiLD oF Mr. WHesLER.—We learned with regret, at a late hour last evening, of the death of the young daughter and only child of the Hon. John Wheeler, of the Union Place Hotel, of this city. Serious INsunY.—About eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, a man named Jacob Diffendale, residing at No. 38 Vandewater street, jumped from an attic window to the street below, injuring himself very severely, both inter- nally and externally. He was taken up, and conveyed to the station house of the Fourth ward, where Captain Ditchett had bim attended to bya medical man. It is supposed that Diffendale is insane. NEW YORK COMMON COUNCIL.

On the west side there | are several others equally situated for commercial purpores. All our land wants is to be in the hands of sume of your keen, enterprising business men, and millions of dolla sone be realized. By the | by, El Senor Valdez, of Boca del Toro, wrote us | letters from that place that the long expected engi- | neers had not yet arrived, but some utensils had ar- | rived from the north, belonging*to some emmesarios who were daily expected. So you see they will soon be | here; then you may expect to see a change come over the scene. ’ The folks here are on the gui vive, ready | to t ‘ivantage of any Li a tan for enhancing th 1e of their property. With regard to the titles, there is no fear as to their validity; Dr. Jovane and the Governor tell us there is no power on earth can | dispute the validity of the claim; that the general government has recognized the full authority of the | svovince to dispose of indulted lands as they please. We have off documents in our possession to that effect. furnished by Jovane and Don Escolas- tico Romero. When the Governor signed the papers yesterday, and put his “Kjectutese” on them, he pat- ted me on tlie shoulder and observed, “Don Juan, you and the Doctor are now immensely wealthy men; there are many crowned heads in some of the Ger- man confederacy who would give their king: such an extensive and valuable tract of land.” At | some future day, when the great important value of this land becomes known, what prevents it from be- | | ing one of the most prominent places on the Isthmus. | ‘There is not one place on the Istmo equal to it, and Costa Rica is well aware of it, for which reason she | | is trying her utmost to wrest it from Chiriqui; but | | there is no fear of it. The Governor read me his | despatches to El Senor Paredes, also to the F tive of Bogota on the subject, and there is not the | least doubt but active measures will be promptly taken | to silence such unjust and outrageous pretences on | the part of Costa Rice to despoil the confederacy of | uch a fire portion of the province of Chiriqui. The | Governor sends copies of our grant, and Don Sauti- | to Paredes, at Washington, and Bogota, to be | d in the papers. | 2 City Diteligenes. |.
