PEDITIONS AGAINST FOREIGN COUNTRIES—THE AFRICANIZA- TION OF CUBA—SPEECH OF MR. SLIDELL. Mr. Sux. (dem.) of La., offered a resolution directing he Committee on Foreign Relations to enquire into the pedieney of authorizing the President, at any time pring the recess of Congress, to prevent expeditions ving the United States against foreign countries. Mr. Simpets said—Although the resolution which has st been read is, on its face, simply one of inquiry, I ink it proper to state at this time the motives that have duced me to present it. I consider it one of great im- . It is not brought forward as a mere formality, ut as the basis of substantive, direct, and, as I hope, ompt legislative action. I am quite conscious of the rity of the responsibility »ssumed by a Senate taking he initiative in such a matier; but with the firm con- tion I entertain of its necessity, I should feel that I 8 recreant to Dy duty to the nation, and especially to he State that sent me were I to shrink from it. duty, moreover, is distinctly imposed upon me by he action of the Legislature of Louisiana. On the 6th of rch last, joint resolutions on the subject of Caba were inanimously adopted. Some months since, Mr. President, Iwas as sceptic any one on this floor could be about he existence of any concerted plan to Africanize Cubs. use the word, not because it has become fashion- , but because it plainly conveys, to my mind , without paraphrases, the complex ideas of eman- tion, confiscation, pillage, murder, devastation and barism. Past experience has led me to be surprised nothing that England might attempt to prevent the pasession of this magnificent island by her great com- ercial rival—a rival destined to be, in a very few years, , in fact, she be not already, in that respect, her recog- d au . Still, I could not bring myself to believe hut Spain, with all her pride and obstinacy, would pre- the destruction of a flourishing colony, peopled by r own sons, to the prospect of its trausfer, at some hture, perhaps distant day, by honorable and peaceful otiations, to a friendly nation, for a price that would tricate her finances from that gulf of senmningly. hope- 68 bankruptcy in which they have been so long p! anaes will state now, as briefly as ible, the reasons that ve led me to the full conviction of a well understood lurpose between Spain and England, in which France is rtainly a confidant, and probably a participant, for the fricanization of Cuba. On the Sth of April, 1852, Lord jalmesbury, the British Secretary of State for Foreign ffairs, directed his Minister at Washington, in concert ith the French Minister, to pro) to our government tripartite convention, by which the three nations hould bind themselves severally an’ collectively to re- ounee, both now and hereafter, all intentions to obtain ossession of the Island of Cuba, and to discountenance i] attempts to that effect on the part of others. This reposition was made to the late Mr. Webster, then retary of State, but no definite reply was made it while he remained in office. His successor, owever, Mr. Everett, under date of Ist December, 1862, ned the overture, in a paper, which will be forever markable in our diplomatic history for its high toned jationality, and a vigor ef style corresponding with the mportance of the quest#n. Let us now trace the origin the joint proposition of England and France:—On the Hoth of October, 1851, Lord Palmerston, the then British foreign Secretary, writing to Lord Howden, his minister o Madrid, said—(Here Mr. S. read an extract. from a patch to Lord Howden, in which he was directed to form the Spanish government that any measure for fhe emancipation of the slaves in Cuba would be in unison ith the wishes of the Britich government, &c.] On the th of Jani 1852, Lord Howden writes from Madrid o Earl Gran the successor of Lord Palmerston, that e Spanish government desired France, England and the bnited States would make an abnegatory declaration re- jpecting Cuba. This invitation of interference from pain, was evidently brought about by the communica- jon of the 20th of October, and others of a similar char- der. On the 24th of April, 1852, Lord Malmesbury ommunicated to Senor Isturitz, the Spanish Ambassador t London, copies of the project of a convention, to be roposed to the United States by the British and French i loters at Washington; and the Marquis de Miraflores, mn the 80th of April, 1852, thanks Lord Howden, in the rmest terms, for his ‘agency in having brought about his convention, or rather proposition for a convention. jenor Isturitz, in a memorandum which has no date, bat om the order in which it appears in the Parliamentary ocuments from which I quote, must have been address- do Lord Malmsbury between the Sth and S0th of July, 852, said that Spain desired that if the United States ro" not adhere to such a declaration, England and nee would declare they would never allow any Power o pomess Cuba in any manger. On the 12th of July, 1862, the Marquis de Miraflores, in writing to Senor Cal: ron de la Barea, states, very openly, what Mr. Cramp- on, in writing to Lord Malmesbury on the same day, d_ only indirectly alluded to the inexpediency of urg- Ing too strongly the pending questions whilst the result the Presidential election remained as yet undecided. his was done on the 8th of July, when the Presidential ominations had been made; but’ the illness and lament- d death of Mr. Webster prevented his replying. I have ready offered my feeble tribute of i to the able, oroughly American, and—if he will allow me to pay im what io some of his admirers may seem an equivo- 1 compliment—democratic reply of his successor. By fhe way, if the distinguished Senator from Massachu- otte—whom I regret not to see in his seat—has no special < tothe contrary, he would tly gratify my ea- johity—and 1 doube’ not that of many others—if he explain the great discropancy between hia letter cretary of State, dated Lec. 1, 1862, and President jilmore’s message communicated ‘to Congress only five bays af! the odjections urged in the letter against be acquisition of Cuba, will apply with equal foree ls all future time, or’ at least until the races at now compose its population shall be exter. inated. The African und Spaniard must alike fad 60 before Mr. Fillmore could consider its acquisi- ion desirable. If England be allowed to have her wa: nthe matter, this problem will soon be more than half d. The race will have ceased to exist, and be African, if left to its own resources, with the enor- pous disproportion of males and females now, according othe last census, existing on the island, will rapidly nelt away. The overtare of France and England having n Sa ey reas, Lord John Rassell, in his teh to Mr. mpton, dated February 1), 1853, tech was by him communicated to our government, od with this very significant remark :—‘Finally, hile fully admitting the right of the United States ject the proj made by Lord Malmesbury and . de Turgot, Great Britain must at once re- ume her entire liberty, and upon every occasion may call for it, be free to act, either ngly, or in conjunction with other Powers, Is to her may scem fit, "’ This implied menace seems, by he declaration of Lord Clarendon, on the first night of present session of Parliament, in the House of Peers, have becn carried out, at least so faras mutual pro- sizes between France and England go. Now, there is other matter, which to many, indeed to most Ameri- , will appear too trivial for notice here, but which ‘me, seems of very great import. In the recent duel at drial, between our Minister and the French Amba: e, what is much more iny ertant ni\s the penalties ie law to second of the French Minister; and all some three or four months since, recalled, nor have we heard that he has been reprimanded for his conduct.

PRICE TWO CENTS. advance, of the approbation of his government. I have taken some pains to inquire, and learn that there can be nowhere founda parallel case. While on the subject of Lord Howden, I cannot refrain from saying that his very emphatic denial, addressed to an old and valued friend of mine, F. B, Corbin, of Virginia, of any inter- ference, past or present, actual or intended, with the emancipation of the slaves in Cuba, would ‘have com. manded from me more implicit credence if he had al- | luded to the letter of Lord Palmerston of the 20th Octo- ber, 1651, and said that he had abstained from acting on it. His reticence respecting so important a fact, having direct connection with the subject on which he was writing to Mr. Corbin, caamot wichout excessive charity be ascribed to inadvertence or forgetfulness. He read extracts from Lord Howden’s letter to Mr. Corbin, say- ing Le had qualified his lordship's disclaimer by the m ldest possible term—a reticence—the suppressio veri. He contended that if Lord Howden wrote the truth to Mr. Corbin he had disobeyed the instructions of his gov- enmen'—a matter not likely to eseape Lord Palmer. ston, who would not tolerate such conduct. His letter to Mir. Corbin, a private citizen, was an anomalous pro- eveding. It was published in England, and had not been dirapproved by Lord Clarendon. filence was pre- sumed to give assent in such a case, and the Whole proceeding was no favorable specimen of fair dealing by the British Cabinet. He then examined how far the idea of « concerted plan for the emancipa- ticn of the Cuban slaves was sustained by the island authorities, quoting largely from a circular by General Canedo, of October, 1853. In December last Gen. Canedo, in retiring from office, said to the Cubans:—* Remain obedient tv ihe supreme government, and to the officers it sends you, and never for a moment forget that the very existence aid the name of Cuba depends upon its con tinning to be a Spanish possession.” Gencral Pezuela, ho suceeded General Canedo, was always known to favor emaccipation. On the 24th of December he pro- mulgsted a decree authorizing, for two years, tho un. limited importation of apprenticed laborers from Spain, India, Yucaton, and China, It contains sixty seven articles, prescribing minute regulations for the system; but -ome idea of thelr efficacy for the protection of the vie'ims of this new slave trade may be formed from the second clause of tho fifth article, which declares that no more than four persons per ton, including the crew, shall Ye shipped on any vessel. ‘Our limit for pissen- gers was two to every five tons, and when the resent regulation requiring fourteen square feet deck for each passenger Was substituted, it was supposed to bea fair equivalent for the old allowances. We ell know that there is a vast deal of suffering and great mortality on hoard onr emigrant ships, whose voyages are alto- gether made in the temperate zone. What, then, will be the horrid fate of these Cuban apprentices, transported within the tropics, on vessels allowed by law to carry ten times the proportioned number of passe gers to which our chips are limited? With us, a ship of 1,000 tons, which probably is about the average size of our Liverpool packet shijs, can transport 400 passengers. The Spanish | slaver is permitted to stow. or rather pack, in the same espace 4,000 apprentices. This would seem hardly credi- ble; yet here is the decree in full, and any one who clicoses to examine it may find many other provisions exemplifying almost as strongly the paternal care which is to be extended to these favored objects of English phi- lanthropy. Take, for instance, article 57: The master will only be able to apply the following punishments:— Tke stocks, prison and chains from one to thirty days, ticles expressly recognise the right of the master to i flict other punishment whenever in his opinion tl requires summary action. I have visited se- veral plantations in Cuba where a portion of the laborers were Chinese, and I know that they were subjected to psecisely the same labor and the same discipline as the negro sla’ Cannot some of our Northern abo- liffonists spare m portion of their sympathy for there low skinned sufferers? or fi ny the only de of complexion that can elicit it? Why are not the horrid details of tho sufferings of five or six hundred Chinese inveigled by English merchants on board of English ships, under the pretext of carrying them to California, and then sold to bondage in the Chin- cha Islands, made the theme of eloquent declamation at the Tabernacle or Faneuil Hall, by the Beechers, Jays, Phillips and other orators of {he abolition school? On the 20th of January, the Captain General addressed cir- culars to his subordinate ofiicers, asking their opinion as to whether Africans were not the best laborers, and as to the exyediency of importing African apprenti He then referred to other ‘circumstances. Slaves wet now allowed to hire their own time at eight dollars month, instead of fifteen, as heretofore, thereby redu ing their value one half. Meanwhile, the slave trade going on with increased vigor. The vigilance of the English cruisers has been so much relaxed for some months past. as to justify the belief that the British g6- yernment is conniving at the introduction of slaves into Cuba, As we know there is no disposition to pro- mote the cevelopement of the agricultural resour- ces cf the Is'and to tho detriment of their own colenies, we can drew an_ inference from a course which would otherwise be inexplicable. She has always contended that the nogroes imported since the treaty for the suppression of the slave trade, in 1817, were entitled to their freedom, and over those introduced since the supplemental treaty of 1835, she has claimed the guardianship and the right of interference. It is estimated that much more than a majority of all the slaves in the island are in this category. ‘he price of present inmually, from interference must be future emancipation. This is probably the question, in this hemisphere, on which Lord Clarendon says that the po- licy of the French and English, howeyer antagonistic heretofore, is now in entire harmony. He cannot have alluded to any other subject than Cuba. For several years the two countries acted in concert in their difficulties with the Argentine Confederacy, until their final adjust. ment; and I am not aware of any part of this hemisphere, with the exception of the United States, where any occa” sion for concerted action has* existed or can exist; and as on the surface, at least, there apppears no dis: turbing elements, it would puzzle the most ingenious head to imagine where, on this side of the Atlantic, their loving allies are to display their harmonious policy, ex- cept towards ua in Cuba. It is now, fortunately, not im- probable that they will find themselves sufficiently oc- cupied nearer home. And here it may not be inapprapriate to nt how much it is to be regretted that in the Ruaso- Turkish quarrel the attention of the country has not been more directed to the question in its aspects a8 af- feeting our own political interests, as between the rude and vigorous barbarism of the Cossack, and the effete nationality of the Moslem, I find no room for acti pathy, scarcely even for an abstract preference. ratuitous and unwarranted declarations of our Minister, r. Spence, in his berry ranted to the Porte, calls for something moe decided than a reprimand. If made in the terms stated in the newspapers, with every appear- ance of authenticity, there is but one fitting remedy— his immediate and unqualified recall. Should the con- test, a8 many believe it will—I am not of the namber— be speedily decided in favor of the Western allies of the Porte, Louis Napoleon having, and continuing to wield despotic power, we may not only abandon all hope of any early reaction in favor of liberal principles in Europe, but may look toa probable collision, for which we are by no means prepared. It is true that we have just mado one short step in the Tight direction—we have appropriat- ed $3,000,000 for a half dozen steam Es eg and have bad the good hearted (34) a large discretion as t» the mede of construction to the able Secretary of the Navy, which I feel confident will produce, instead of the mise- rable abortions under the old system, ships not unwor- thy of our great naval reputation. But England has now fifty or sixty war steamers afloat, and France as many more, rendy so coon as their services may be dispensed with in the Baltic and Black Seas, to illustrate on our shores the happy accord which Lord Clarendon travelled out of the road so reg section d to state existed between the two Powers in both hemispheres. We have fortunately been forewarned, it will be our own fault if we be not forearmed. This menace should at least have one salu- tary effect, that of checking the disposition to scatter with so much profusion the public treasure on every side, on objects of more than questionable justice or utility. We seem to be in constant dread of # financial plethora, and anxious todeplete in every way excepting Preparations for defence. With these, as I think, con- clusive evidences of the intentions of Great Britain and France—intentions which, if realized, will soon after the scenes of blood and Horror from ‘which every one not blinded by fanaticism must instinctively recoil, con- vert this fair island into a second Hayti—what course have we to pursue? Shall we remain passive spectator: until the fatal blow has been struck, or shall we at once Fut ourselves in an attitude to repel and avert it? [ counsel neither negotiation nor remonsirance on this subject. We have the remedy in our own hands. It is that indieated in the resolation which Ihave submitted. Arm the President with the simple power to unfetter the limbs of our people, and the gov- erzment will have no occasion to put forth the ene: of the nation. Individuel enterprise and Iberality wil at once furnish the men and the material that will en- able the native population of Cuba to shake off the yoke of their transatlantic tyrants. I desire no movement on the part of our citizens until the Cubans shall have put their own shoulders to the wheel. They have been reproached for their pusillanimity, put let it be once understocd that if, by their own efforts to vindicate their rights, they show tbemselves worthy of our sympathies, the arm of the federal government will not be inter- posed on Lehalf of their oppressors, in less six months the flag of freedom, the ‘lone star,” would wave over the whole island. The Moro may, perhaps, hold out somewhat longer. One thing is certain, that derpite all your statutes, your collectors, your marshals, your army and navy, if the revolutionary standard be once hoisted in Cuba and maintained for ao few short weeks, no administration can prevent our citi- zens from rushing to the rescue in such numbers as will secure its triumph. A democratic President would not desire to do it. I i ype much @s any one can, such a contingency, is but one mode to avert it. ‘Entrust the to suspend the neutrality laws to the President. He will not exercise it lightly, and in all pro- bability the knowledge of his power will di with the necessity of exercising it. France and England will retract their mischievous counsels, and ordera will be given to the Captain-General to retrace his steps. We have ex] the emptiness of these to already had some of | menaces of Inerpaifions ‘They tented, rather to ba tate than to retard the acquisit of Texas, and will, persirted in, produce the same effect now. I repeat I would deprecate any movement not invited the a rising of dhe people of Cuba—but if they be driven to it the conviction that they are their jailers to the horrors of a servile war, then I say “| off’ —the people will net, cannot be ene treme ai ving, oom aid ‘more substantial than le not per- mit a black empire, under a British key of the Gull of Mexico, that nominally independent, ut for eve pose of annoyance a British tependeney to be. established in sight of our own shores. is studded with the ‘and most Bes pei wg hg Se at ae Ss it commeree which must pass through the narrow strait that separates it from Florida. We have repeatedly announced to the world that we will not permit it to fall into the Possession of any other European power than Spain. This eclaration has met with the hearty and unanimous response of the nation, and yet its cession to either | France or England would be less dangerous to the South | than the existenee of a pretended independeat black | empire or republic. I say nothing of the value | of the island in a financial point of view. Its | inexhaustivility—its annual exports now amount. | ing to nearly thirty millions, and which would oon be doubled under a good government, where any confidence was reposed in its stability. At this time agricultural property is not worth more than three or four years purchase, estimated on the basis of present income. A plantation yielding a net revenue of $25,000 can be bought for less than $190,000. I think it unne- cesrary to make more than a passing allusion toa matter of recent occurrence, and which has been the subject of accmmunication from the President to the House of Representatives. I mean the seizure of the United States | mail stenmer Black Warrior at Havana, and confiscation of her cargo. This is but one—the most outrageous, indeed, of a Jong series of insults and yexations, by which it has been attempted to exclude our steamers from Cuba. They serve to complete the proof I have | adduced, of an understanding, probably an alliance, consummated by treaty, between Spain, France, and England. The Cuban authorities would never have dared to take so offensive a step if they had not relied on the Support of those powers. I have no doubt that the policy indicated by the President will be energetically porsved, and that full pecuniary reparation to the own. ers ef the Black Warrior and an apology for the ingult to oor fing will ultimately be obtained. But I regret that we aie to look for this at Madrid. I should have pre- ferred to see rt exacted in a more summary Way, by the bicchude of Havana and the other principal ports of the isn. (Applause in the gallery.) It is high time tiat we should have a remedy for these insults more immediately at hand, and that the Captain General should te compelled to use his power. which ia only re- stricted by his ultimate responsibility at Madrid, as well for redress "as aggression, I have been satisfied for the last three months that the power of suspending the neutrality laws should be eonferred on the President. I now think it should be done at once. Perhaps it may be preper to go further than I have proposed, and to. make it diseretionary to use it even during the session of Cor gress; but I bave been restrained by the belief that tho President will only have to announce to the representa- tives of the people and of the States, that the contingency bas arrived, and calls for immediate action, and his ap- peal will be promptly responded to. The issue must be met eventually, and we cannot choose amore proper mo- ment for its solution. Mr. Bexsamn, (whig) of La., said he agreod fully with his colleague in't' ¢ belief of the existence of a plan by the European powers to Africanise Cuba, While he en- tertained this belief, he was not prepared to ay he ap- proved of the plan proposed by his cclleague. When the committee reported, he would express his views. Mr. Sewanp (free soil) of N. Y., said he had not been able to hear the remarks of Mr. Slidell sufficiently well to enable him to make any observation in reply. He hoped the resolution would be postponed till to-morrow. Mr. Matzory, (dem.) of Fla., agreed fhat there was no doubt of the scheme to Africanize Cuba, and thought it the duty of the United States to prevent it. Mr. CuAss, (free soil) of Ohio—I hope the resolution will be postponed for a week. It does not contemplate any immediate action, but merely proposes to confer a power on the President to be exercised during the recess of Congress. Of course there is no neceseity for immoe- diate reference. As the opinions of the Senators from Louisiana and Florida have been expressed upon the gene- ral question of our relations to Cuba, those opinions of course, must go out to the country, and may, perhaps, be taken as indicating the judgment of the Senate, unless fome opportunity be afforded to those who entertain dif- ferent opinions tostate their views. For myself, I do not hesit ate to say that so far as any proper measures taken by the Spanish government, either at Madrid or’ in Ha- vana—whether under the influencewf England or France, or from independent considerations of duty and policy— may tend to-the emancipation of the slaves in Cubs, these measures will command my sympathy and my best wishes fer their happy and beneficial issve to all’parties. But I am far {com thinking that the disposition towards emancipation in Cul tothe Spanish government in either hemi the governments of England and France. which have come to my knowledge incline me to the opinion that the idea of emancipation is seriously and favorably entertained by many enlightened Span- jards and ereoles in the island, and by at least some of the gentlemen who constitute what is fami- Yarly known as the Cuban Junta. To that idea and that purpose, by whomsoever entertained, I am decidedly favorable. On ‘the other hand, to all that part of the policy of Fngland and Spanish governments, if there be such a policy which tends to revive the African slave trade under any pome, or in any form, whether for the purpore of supplying apprentices to the island, to be con- verted at some future period, either near or remote, into frecmen, or for any other purpose, Liake the same ob- ections, and take them as stronly as the Senator from Louisiana. Ido not wish to go into this subject now. t wish, however, to have an opportunity of doing so, and the efore move its postponement for a week. Mr. Burize, (dem.} of 8 C., hoped the subject would go to the committee, and have a debate on its report. After some conversation, this was acquiesced in and the resolution adopted. ‘TIER INDIAN AVPROPRIATION BI. The Indian appropriation bil was taken up. Numerous amendments were offered by the Committee on Intian Affairs, snd agreed to after explanations. Mr. Exnasnian, (dem.) of Ark., moved one, that here- after, in all cases where the Udited States hell money in trust and under treaty stipulations to invest the’ same for the use of the Indians, it should be invested in State stocks. He said three and a-half millions were now in- vestedin that manner. The United States were paying annually interest on ten millions of Indian funds. Mr. Honrer, (dem.) of Va., opposed it, If the State did not pay int the United States would have to do fo. It would be a dangerous patronage to be adminis- tered by the genoral government. Former investments by the United States in State stocks did not show a favor- able balance sheet. So long as the money was in the nd fact, while ) and nothing treasury it was safe. It was, in truth there, invested in United States securiti could’ be better for the Indians. Mr. SxwaRD olso opposed it. While the United States had naother purpose to which to apply its surplus than to buy up at a large premium its own stocks, he sald there was no necessity for its putting out the money of the Indians in uncertain State stocks. ‘The amendment was rejected. Other amendments were proposed. The Dill was then postponed, and, after a short executive session, the Se- nate adjourned. House of Representatives. Wastuxaton, May 1, 1854. PROTECTION OF LIFE ON THE COAST. Mr. SxEiapx, (dem.) of N. J., asked unanimous con- sent to introduce a bill for the better protection of lives and property on the New Jersey coast, from shipwreck. He raid the recent disasters fully demonstrated the ne- cessity for the measure. Mr. Ricanpeox, (dem.) of Il, objected, the gentleman having on a former cecasion made objection to a resolu- tion which he sought to introduce. Mr. SkELT0x—The gentleman mistakes. Mr. Ricuanpsox—I have ever since sought an opportu- sity to repay the gentleman. I now repay him, by ob- jecting. TUR ATMOSPHERIC TELEGRAPH. Mr. Baxks, (dem.) of Mass., made an ineffectual effort to introduce a resolution providing a select committee to whom shall be referred the memorial of William Rich- ardson, asking government to test the efficiency of his atmospheric telegraph for the transmission of packages and payers. Mr. Jonrs, (dem.) of Tenn., said there was no necessity for troubling the House with this matter; the govern- ment was not organized for experiments. ROADS IN NEW MEXICO. The House passed the bill for the construction of mili- tery roads in New Mexico. THE RIGHTS OF NEUTRALS, On the motion of Mr. Bayiy, (dem.) of Va, of the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs, it wax Resolved, That the Prevident_be, querted to communicate to this House, Bion may not be incompatible with pies of all ndence that h vern overnment of ach despate ‘said representatives by th TERRITORIAL MILLS, The House went into Committee of the Whole on the special order, being the bills relating to organized Terri- tories. Among those considered was one providing for the extinguishment of the title of the Chippewa Indians to the lands owned and claimed by them in Minnesota = Wisconsin, and for their domestication and civiliza- n. Mr. Orr, (dem.) of 8. C., said this ed to in- treduce a new feature in our Indian relations; it is not, however, without it. Congress should indicate to the Executive the mannor and terms on which treaties shall be negotiated. The features of this bill have been ‘ted by many persons who reside within the limits of Minnesota, and therefore the bill, if |, would meet their sanction—the bill authorizing the President to enter into negotiations with the Chippewas to extin- guish the title to their lands, reserving to, each head of a family eighty acres as a homestead, to be inalienable uatil Congrees shall otherwise direct. Further, the nuities for the remainder of the lands are to be pai either in money, or in the means of subsistence, at the discretion of the President, and likewise to assist the In- diana in their goed operations. His impression was, if this system should be carried out, it would be found to work well. The policy heretofore pursued of ing Indians annuities bad proved to be a jure. It was the most fruitful of all causes of the retrograde mcvement of those people in the scale of civilization. ‘They hed made no on that account. The annu- State. ity given to an Indian is spent within a week after re- ceiving it; therefore he lives frequently in Rant. Soy ou elas ive and valuable. It em- races fh a in Minne- wishing tos he nda” oe as consi at the Sault Ste. Marie will on of country into notice; and give facilities to hundreds of thousands of persons to work those mines. The object is to settle the Indians in the midst of the whites. They have been found valuable laborers in digging copper ore, and in the capacity of menials. Mr. Rice, Delegate from Minnesota, in reply to a ques- tion, said the proposed purchase included 25,000,000 of acres. Mr. Houston, (em. of Ala., sated his objections to a part of the Lill, und took occasion to say tbat the pre- sent system of paying the Indians was a bad one, a large portion of the money going into the pockets of waprin- cipled speculators. Amendments were debated, but none of importance were adopted, when the bill was laid aside to be reported to the House. THE SALARIES OF GOVERNORS OF 1ERRITORIES. During the consideration of the bill to increase the salaries of the officers of certain Territories, Mr. BsxwisEi, (dem.) of Utah, offered an amendment increasing the salary of the Governor of Utah to $3,000. Mr. Warsu, (dem.) of N. ¥., hoped the amendment would prevail. it was as much as he could do with his pay to support one wife, and hie did not see how the Governor of Utah could support a number of wives on $3,000. (Lavghter.) The amendment was rejected. Without concluding the subject, the committee rose, and the House adjourned. The Ward Trial. INDIGNATION OF THE CITIZENS OF LOUISVILLE AT THE RESULT OF THE WARD TRIAL, Lovisvittm, May 1, 1854.

Farther from New Mexico, BATTLES WITH THE INDIANS—DESERTIONS FROM THE ARMY—TROOPS IN THE TERRITORY. The following despatch was sent to the St. Louis Re- publican:s— INDEVENDENCE, April 26, 1854. 1#end you some further details of the recent diM- culties in'New Mexico, though they are not so ample as 1 would like. On the th of March there was a fight between Lieut. Peale, in command of thirty dragoons, and # party of Jalearilla Indiuns. Six of ‘the Indians’ were killed, and two of the soldiers; four dragoons were also wounled. ‘the Indians for the first time were whipped. On the 2th of March, the soldiers—thirty were defeated. On the 30th of March, Company ‘1’ of the Dragoons, sixty in number, under the command of Lieut. J. W. Tavidson, met the Apaches, to the number of 250 war- riore, fifteen miles from the Seneguilla, near the foot of the mountuin, and on the road from Taos to Sante Fe. Tho baitle was a ranguinary one. Thirty-five of the troops nre reported to have been killed, and seventeen woundel. Only eight cf the whole number escaped without being in number— injured. Lieut. Pavideon, ia command, and Dr. Magruder were slightly wounded. ‘The first sergeant was killed. ‘dhe loss on the part of the Indians iy said to have been very great. Fifty horses belonzing to the Dragoons, all the Colt revolvers und -earbines, fell into the possession of the Indians A large force under command of Col. Cooke, of the 2 dragoons, were out in pursuit of the enemy when the mail left, but it is to be understood that they are not 80 easily intimidated now, and they say they are now ready to mect the troops. We fear we shall receive further news of a similar tenor to the above. ‘Twenty men of Major Carlton’s company of dragoons bave deserted from Fort Albuquerque, taking with them two horres apiece, all the Colt revolvers, anda six mule team loaded with provisions. They were headed by the first sergeant of the company ‘The Indians who killed four of their number for witch- craft, were being tried in the United States District Court at Santa Ve ‘the St. Louls Republican of the 27th April, seys :—Our private despatches furnish some additional facts in re- ard to the late sanguinary engagements with the Indians In New Mexico. The troops under Lieut, Davidson seem to have fought with great desperation, and it has seldom hapyened that a command was so completely cut up. It cannot be otherwize than that the Indians sustained a much greater loss. We sce nothing in the despatches in relation to Kit Carson. ‘Te sce:ropanied Liewt, Davidson on this expedt- tion as a guide, and was, no doubt, engaged ia the fight. Being em loyed for this purpose, and knewing the coun. try as familiarly as the Indians themselves, he of course took good care not to permit them to entrap the com- mand in a perilous position before they were aware of it. ‘At the clove of November last the Adjutant General re- ported the whole number of troops in the Ninth Military vivision, under command of General Garland, as com- prising 21 companies, or 1,611 men. But these troops are scattered all over New Mexico, and with very little power of ready concentration, #0 as to make them nyail- able. ‘The several companies were thus distributed:— Fort Masraohusetts, Utah country, eighty-five miles from Tios—Iwo companies; one Dragoons, and one com pany Third Infantry, Major G. H. A. Blake, commanding. Cantonment Bergwin, near Taos—One company First Dragoons, Second Lieut. R. Ransom, (Lieat. Davidson last in command.) Fort Union, Moro River—Capt..N. C.

En route {cr Fort Fillmore, one company Third Infant- ry, Lieut. J. N. Ward, ‘or all the purposes of active pursuit of the Indians, the dregoons are the only efficient force in service in New Mexicc—not that the infantry and artillery will not fight ‘as weil if they can get but they cannot move with sufficient alacrity. ‘The Indians are all mounted on good horses, and can always keep out of the reach of every other arm of the service, save the dragoons. Con- grees will now see the necessity of organizing a regiment of moynted riflemen, or dragoons, and of taking them from the West. Missouri can furnish Indian hunters enough, if proper inducements are held out to our young and hardy men. Organize a regiment of riflemen or dra- goons in Missouri and Towa, and they will soon be ready to take the fleld, wu macy City News.

In the mean time they hope that the City of Glasgow will return safely. According to mercantile letters from Constantinople, of April 6th, Baron Bruck has fssued orders to all Aus- trian vessels to quit Constantinople. Probably the order relates only to Austrian vessels of war, in order to avoid the importunities of the Turks, that they should join the allied fleets in the Black Sea.

The vessels captured by Admiral Plumridge are, ae cording to some accounts, said to have been laden with sulphur, and other articles contraband of war; to others, laden with salt. It is rumored that the point on which the Austrian and Prussian governments cannot agree is the occupation of the frontiers touching on Russian Poland. The court party, it eems, is disinclined to the idea, and Baron Budberg agitates against Baron Hess. ‘The insurgents have been tremendously beaten near Arta. ‘The fleet was in sight off Bornholm on the 16th General Wysocki is to command the Polish legion in the Turkish service.

A telegraphic despatch from Copenhagen announces that Rear-Admiral Plumridge, commanding one of the divisions of the fleet under Sir Charles Napier, in the Baltic, has captured five Russian ships, and made a num- ber of prisoners. It may be as well to stato at once that ‘there ships are not men-of-war, but merchant vessels, siden with salt. At least, such is the version. Under date of 16th inst., we learn that the fleet, consisting of twenty-two ships of war, led by the Duke of Wellington fing ship, passed Bornholm Island. A beavy cannonad- | Ing was heard in that direction on the night between the | 15th and 16th. | Ships of war were daily arriving, both Freneh and English, thus swelling the immense force already th*r. 1am sorry to say the fine frigate Amphion, (acrew,) 1 | aground on a sand bauk, and will, it is feared, be lost. It blew a regular gale in the Baltic on the 9th, and there | have been two or three regular ‘stiff days’? of it. Om | the 7th the Cressy, @ 90-gun ship, was driven from hee | moorings and drifted towards the Swedish coast. She | would have become a total wreck had she gone ashore, | She beat off, however, till her fires were lit, and tacm steamed back against the wind to the fleet. ‘The ice is everywhere disappearing. | We may, therefore, shortly expect the news of blood- | shed. If the fleet passed Bornholm on the 13th, opera- tions in the Gulf of Finland will have commenced. The alied fleets are the object of the greatest sympa | thy and attention on the part of the Swedes, Danes and | Norwegians, who take every opportunity of exprossing it, | and pay visits to the different vessels as they arrive. The | evacuation of the island of Aland, in the Baltic, by the | Russians, is fully confirmed. It wil! become s naval sta_ | tion for the combined fleets. Before leaving the island, | everything that could be taken was carried away. The | remainder was burnt or sunk. To turn to the other sea: | ‘the combined feats are still in Kavarna bay; the Rus- | sian fleet is at anchor in Sebastopol harbor, though sone veesels fiad been signalled off Batoum. No engagoment | had yet taken place. The report that Odessa surrendered | tothe combined fleets on the 14th inst., is not confirmed. | Itis not unlikely that it will shortly do so. In fact, | whé@n the last mails left Constantinople, the declaration | of war had only just arrived there, Tae greatest enthu- | siasm prevailed in consequence. | Freneh troops were daily arriving at Gallipoli. General Canrobert and his staff had been presented to the Sultan and most graciously received. English troops were hourly expected. All the British troops have left Malta, and ere this have reached their destination. Another division will shortly leave the shores of England. The movement which John Mitchel is endeavoring to get up on your side of the Atlantic, in favor of Russia, meets with no sympathyin Ireland,and is treated with total contempt in England. I have no doubt he will be made to feel this; and so I drop the subject. | The expulsion of all the Greeks from Constantinople is confirmed. The chief reason for their expulsion is that, in case of an émeute at Constantinople, 25,000 enemies, | well acquainted with every nook and corner of the city, would prove dangerous, Exceptions aro made for such Grecks as can find two sureties for their good behavior. It is, however, ruinous to many poor families, who suffer With the rest. This fs one of the worst evils of war, that the innocent often suffer with the guilty. Most of these expelled Greeks will join the insurgents in Epirus. With- out an efficinl decree, Constantinople may be said to be ina state of siege. No one is allowed to be out after 11 o’éloek at night, and murders are constantly committed. As regards the position of the two great German Pow- ers, I have little to add to what I have already said om this subject. Their position is still equivocal and un- changed, except that Austria evinces a greater inclina- tion to side openly with the Western Powers. Thia in- clination is manifest inthe articles which appeared last week in the official and semi-ofiicial articles of the Vienna journa!s. The King of Prussia, on the other hand, Vecomes more obstinate daily. The treaty between the two States, offensive and defensive, has not yet been signed, as Prussia will not come to terms. This shilly- shallying cannot last much longer. Chevalier Bunsen has not yet left London, but it is clear that his advocacy of an alliance with France and England has displeased his royal master. Should Austria and Prussia disagree openly, there willl ve civil war in Germany, Austria and Prussia have ever been rivals for supremacy in the German confederation, which, as you are aware, consists of the thirty-four Ger- mon States and the four free cities, Bavaria and Wur- temberg, would in all probability, join Prassia, with such States as are under the influence of those three Towers. France and England have been more unanimous in their negotiations. A treaty, offensive and defensive, has been signed betweon them. The ratifications wore exchanged yesterday. I have not yet sven a copy. It consists of five articles, and has reference solely to the Fastern question, ‘The death of Colonel Dieu is contradicted in the Paria papers. Marshal St. Arnaud has left, to take the chief command of the French army im the East. Prince Napo? leon was at Toulon on the 15th. ‘The Duke of Cambridge and Lord Raglan, after being Jéted at Paris, will hasten on to Turkey. The report of a great battle on the Danube is not con- firmed. The Russians aro strengthening their positt on the Dobrudacha, and the Turks near the Trajan Wall. The presence of the fleets at Varna supports the Turkish flank. Paskiewitch is expected to take command of the Rus- nians, Lord Howden bas sent in a note to the Spanish govern- ment, requesting that incase any vessels with Russian letters of marque present themselves at any Spanish port, they may be refused admittance.

All the advantages said to have been obtained by the Turks seem to have vanished into thin air, and of all the rumors that have been flying about for the last few days, there remain only in the list of probabilities, the battle of Rassova, the passage of the Danube by the Russians, between Widdin and Orsova, and the progres of the Greek insurrection. Nothing in the shape of Fastern news seems to be real. The only fact confirmed for some time past is the entrance of the Russians into the Dobrudscha—a movement considered by military mem as defensive, and as part of the plan of the Czar—which is seid to consist in leaving a void before the attacking armies, in exhausting them by drawing them into the deserts, and in only defending, energetically, certaim points. A rvmor is current that the government has receive | unfavorable news and is afraid to publish it. It doen no: require this reserve, which, by the way, is in contradic- tion to other intelligence received from abroad, to make us appreciate the gravity of the political situation, tha fate of which is pow at the discretion of Austria and Prussia, Now, whilst the government journals indulge in optimist speculations, it will no doubt be interesting to you to hear the language which Loule Napoleon holds in his private circle. I bave his words from authority that can be relied on:—‘It is wrong to count on Austria and Prussia, It is certain that they will not range themselves on our side unless decisive vic~ tories on our part re-assure them completely as to the issue of the struggle. There is nothing to be hoped for from them until then, nor even subsequently. As to Russia, whose strength is said to be exaggerated, she is ‘a mort formidable Power; and she is, moreover, the only one rendy for the contest. ‘Thera is not a moment to be lost to oppose objects to an invasion which will swallow up Evrope, unless it ix combatted with desperate ener- 7 I need not tell you that’l guarantee to you the exact sense of these words.
