The News. A despatch from Fort Leavenworth, announcing the receipt of intelligence of the departure of the Mormons from Salt Lake City, and that Governor Cumming had, by invitation, proceeded to that place, was published in yesterday’s Haraup. The news, if true, is certainly of the highest importance, and its confirmation is awaited with auxiety. We are advised from Washiagton that the government has received no despatches from Camp Scottof a later date than the 14th of March. The steamship Austria, which left Southampton on the 4th inst., is now due at this port with four days later European news, and the North American is due at Quebec with advices to the 5th inst. Additional accounts from Mexico announce that the war steamer Guerrero had deserted the eanse of the constitutionalists and put into Tuspan, the only port in the Gulf in favor Zuloaga. She had on board at the time of the revolt a cargo of military stores destined for the defence of Tampico. Preparations were making to despatch 4 fleet to retake the Guer- rero. Anattack on Vera Cruz by the forces under Gen. Echeagaray was shortly expected. The deputation commissioned by the provisional government of Venezuela to present to Gen. Paes an officia) invitation to return to his conntry has had an interview with him in this city. The Gene. ral prefers to remain abroad for the present, lest it might be said by his enemies that he undaly influ enced the settlement of affairs in Venezuela by his popularity if present. We publish a report of the proceedings which took place at a meeting of the foreign ministers in Caracas relative to the final dis posal of the person of General Monagas. The General is to be kept for a time in a safe and honor. able confinement, his family having the privilege of residing with him. He is then to have a passport ‘and safe conduct to any foreign port he wishes, and be exiled for a period to be judged of by the newly formed gvvernment. Our Havana correspondent, writing on the 10th inst. states that it was reported an American war ship bed arrived in the harbor. This gave great satisfaction, as it was believed that the irritating system of search recently pursued by the British would be abated. The health of Havana was goo’. Our correspondent at Cienfugos, writing on the ‘90th ult. says: “ The weather is delightful. The re- ceipts from the interior of sugar, molasses and fruit are very large, and the product of the island im mense. Six barks and thirteen brigs are loading sugar, molasses and tobacco for the States. This tewn is unusually active and gay, owing to the arrival of several families of distinction from the United States, and the touching and landing daily of Spanish and British officers and crews, who add much to business, gaiety, and social intercourse. Not a vessel that heaves in sight of all the harbors of ‘this island but what is boarded and strictly ex- amined by British cruisers. The port is very healthy.” A case of some importance to the liquor dealers ‘was tried last week in the Court of Common Pleas, before Judge Daly. It was charged that a party sold liquor on Sunday in violation of the recent act of the Legislature. It was proved by a policeman ‘that be watched the store on the Sunday in ques tion, saw ten or more persons going in and coming out, and that one woman came out with a jag with something in it with a foam on top, and which he believed to be beer; the policeman thea went into the store and saw some persons in the act of drink ing, and there was # strong “compound smell” of Viquor and other things; another asked for beer, bat the keeper of the store, in presence of the polica- man, said he did not sell anyon that day. The Judge in his charge held that the “publicly keeping” liquor on that day was a violation of the law. The Jury could not agree to a verdict, and were dis barged on Saturday morning. The annexed table shows the temperatare of the atmoaphere in this city during the past week, the range of the barometer, the variation of wind cur rents, and the state of the weather at three periods during each day, viz.: at 9 A.M.,and 3 and 9 o'clock P.M AMAR Batordey—Clear and pleasant al! dey. night clear a }» Overcast, » Clear, might, eres, Seay, afternoon, rain, night, over Tuesday Morning, overcast; 1016 A M commenced = snd continued more or los all day, beary Tale dering Wecneetay—Morming, Clear and plearant; afer inn, cloudy, night clear, (hareday —Olear and pleamact all «is, j Sight, one, rea: overcast with ' x, with light rain.

Tte News trum Camp Scott—is the Mormon War Bndeat We published yesterday the announcement received from Fort Leavenworth by telegraph that an express had arrived there from Camp Seott, with dates to the 10th of April, bringing the intelligence that the Mormons were Icaving Salt Lake City for the White River Mouutaina, and that Governor Cumming had goue to the city by invitation. In the absence of all details of this important news, and assuming that it is true, we can oaly precent some suggestions which occur to us ia view of previously known facts. The entranos of Governor Cawming into Salt Lake City to the exercise of his official functions may be the virtual ending of the Mormon war; but unti! we have further evidence of this than the simple apnouncement that he bas been invited to enter the city, we capnot accept it as such Thre are other circumstances that may have led to this etep. It will be remembered that last fall, and about the time of the meeting of Congress. (bere was some talk at Washington of giving tbe Mormons an opportunity tu make their peace with the government. Daring the month of December, Colonel Kane, a brother of Dr. Kane of Arctic celebrity, acd well known as holding a bigh place in the esteem of the Mor- mour as a Gentile sympathiser aud friend, left Warhington under the asxumed name of Osborn, and proceeded to Utah by toe way of California. Letters ‘from Salt Lake City announced bis arrival there oo the 25th of Januery; aud shortly after Brigham Young alluded in one of his public dicourres to his being there, and added that there was no particular news. Advicesfrom the tame place, dated 20th of February, (Saturday,) +tate that Col. Kane was to leave Salt Lake City the succeeding Monday under Mormon es- cort, for Camp Scott. The late«t news from the camp previous to this last express was to the 14th of March, and it made no mention of Col. Kane's arrival there; but as the advices are entirely through official sources, he may have been in the camp, and the government did no choote to let it be known. We think this pro bable, as thePe was time for him to have travelled the distance of 150 miles through the capons to the camp, while up to the 10th of April he could bardly have been to the camp, returned to Salt Lake City, aud again reached headquarters before the 10th of April. W thiok it highly probable, therefore, that this in- vitation to Gov. Camming may have beea the result of Col. Kane’s mission. What the motives aod plans of the Mormons are in this proceeding can only be a matter of -conjecture. The covtinual assurancs of Brighkum Young and the elders, in their public discourses, that the troops would never enter the valley, are well kaowa, le may be that in view of the fatility of rest+t- avee, the leaders have determined to invite Govervor Cumming with @ emali escort into the city, in order to petch up ac arrangement, and prevent the Tana entering, through peace- ful means. Th this way they may save their reputation as prophets, while by retiring to the mountains they may rave their own necks, as they are elready under indictment. Another probable object of this manouvre isto gain time, as it has been all along @ coustant Mormon as sertion that they had three years crops cachéd in safety, and only wanted time to gather one more. For this crop it is well known that Brigham Young exhorted them to put a great abundance of seed in the ground, and that the women and children undertook this labor while the men went out to defend the passes. When thie crop is gathered they may go off secretly, tn families and emall detachments, elther to dis peree among the mountains, or to join their lenders in some new place of refuge, until the valley bas become depopulated, aud Governor Cuwming and the federal officers are left in rolitary state, without a people to rule. A different course may also be pursued by the Mormons if they can succeed in preventing the troops from entering, and ‘o gathering the coming hervest. They have frequently announced their determination to éestroy everything if forced to abandon the deeert which they bave made to blossom; and it my be that when they shall have secured the coveted barvest io a place of safety, they may ret fire to the possessions they cannot take with them, and depart in the midat of a grand con- flagration, as did the Russians from Moscow; perhaps, too, with like hopes of forcing the in vader to retire. The precedent of their aban- donmert of Nauvoo may be cited in support of ‘he probability of their peacefal withdrawal; bot it is not improbable that ia the fervor of their faith they may deem some heroic act to be Decetrery to their future welfare. There are strong reasons why we should not accept even the final abandonment of Utah as @ breaking up’ of the Mormon church. It is characterized by a faith stronger than that of the Puritens, who abandoned their persecuted homes in the Old World to found others in the bleak wilds of New England; and they obey a theocratical organization far more powerful over the individual than that of the Roman Catholic church. Even while the United States government was preparing to force them into obedience, we have seen thousands of their Proselytes obeying the commands of Brigham Young, and both in the Atlantic States and tn Europe severing family ties, giving ap business and sacrificing their possessions {n order to con- NBW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MAY 17, 1858. | crptrate iv the valleys of Deseret, At this { very time we find them, a8 will be seen by a let ter poblished im another column, parchasiag | powder apd lead and caps im the froutier towns, vom gathering in large numbers upon the banks of the Pleste wiver, whore they ewait ordors from Brighsm Youog, the Prophet.

Mr. Bawes went out to Caracas with the hope of obtaining some repsration to Americana oitizens whow rights had been infringed by Venezuela, aud of placing our commercial aod diplomatio reiatious With that repubtic upou a satisfactory footing. Not only has be been able to achieve aething, ut the conduct of Monagas towards this couu- try bas been such as to entitle him to anything but our regard and protestioa. Vor diplomatio aud commercial —reia- tions with Venezuela bave dwindied down to the smaliest possible point, while the just claims of our citizens have lwen subjected to the most barefaced delay. Our commercial treaty with that republic bas expired, and cur repreeectstive bas not suc- ceeded in making @ pew one, so that oar com- terce with ber is carried on under seme disad- vantage. We trust tbat the new revolution there will inaugurate a new state of things. The iuvita- tion to Gen Paez, who has resided so long ia cur w'dst, and who has daring that time coa- tracted many personal ties with our citizens, and, no dvubt, become acquainted with the trae impuise avd character of our institutions, we jook upow as auguring better things for the future, avd we trust we shall not be disappoint- ed. There are many elements for a prosperous tende between the two republics, aud we hop: to tee them developed. Her coflee and bides ttand bigh in the estimation of our merchauts, while the banks of her groat rivers not only offer fine timber, dyewoods, &., but present a large field for the ewployment of our skill ia duvial navigation. Besides these reasons for a closer commercial connection with us, political ones muy aiso arise at no distantday. The designs of England in endeavoring to despoil Vene- zuela of the rich province of Guayamas may yet lead ber to ask for our interference for the de- fence of her nutional territory and indepen: dence, and we bad much rather see the in- fioence of our government exerted in favor of & sister republic than of an unfriendly despo- tiem like that of Monagaa. Tue Ovrnaces or THe Barrise Crvisens — We. wre glad to perceive that the government is about to take strong measures to prevent a repetition of the flagrant outrages receatly per- petrated by the British cruisers on the Aweri- cen fisg in thé ports of Cuba and aloog our orn coasts, There is bat ove way of puttiog a stop to this insolent interference with oar mer- chant marive by a foreign Power, and that is the one intimated as that to which the Presi- dent is about to resort, viz., placing American guos between the British craisers aud our mer- cbantmen. England seems to bave forgotten the origin of the war of 1512. If our vessels wre to be arrested in their course by canuon shot and rifle balls, their cargoes overhsuled, their papers seized, aud their officers insulted at the will of some subordinate officer of a foreign navy, they had better eail under some other color than the stars aod stripes, for the United States of America can no longer be said to have an independent flag upon the high seas. But we bave too mach reliance apoa the pluck avd firmness of Mr. Buchanan to doubt that he will tuke measures not only to save our flag from future dishonor, but to demand re- Gress for what bas already occurred, as coon | as the facts in each case are correctly and | Officially Imid before him. The public take a deep interest in these outrageous affairs, and as an instance of their feeling we observe that the thipmasters of New York are to hold a meet- ing in the Merchants’ Exchange to morrow aftervoon, at four o'clock, to express their in- dignation at this gross and insolent attack upoa the independence of our merchant marine. We hope that in taking these outrages into con- sideration our government will not forget, while dealing with the acts perpetrated by the Britieh cruisers, to bestow some attention upon the cause that bas led to them. The Spanish goverpment in Cubs, in conniving at the slave trade there, violates her solemn treaties with other Powers, and forces them to take extraordinary measures to enforce their stipu- lations in good faith. It is, therefore, equally culpable with the British government in thus giving cause to these unlawful aad violent proceedings, and should be treated as a bad neighbor is treated in honest society. Kansas Patriots Tcxxen Brroaxos—The latest tntelligence from Kansas represents that bands of brigauds are roaming through the country, committing sundry depredations on the property of the citizens, and murdering those who resiet, The Kansas question being sottled peaceably in Congress, the gaogs of ragamufios rent out there by the New Eagland “ Emigrant Aid Society” find their occupation gone, and many of them natarally fall back wpon their old trade of highwaymen and bargiara. They were employed for the purpose of fighting aud disturbing the peace of the Territory for politi- cal objects; and, as they care nothing for politics themselves, they do not seem to be disposed to abandon their fighting and peace-breaking principles now that their ser- vices are no longer valaable to their employers It must be a great consolation to Parson Beecher and his friends to know that their Sharpe's rifles are not permitted to rust In the hands of the “ patriots” to whom thay supplied them. The Plans of the Fibarters Their Olsson wt .ne eee Wi ae We learn by a letter fram New Orteao#, which we publish im another cotama, that there is the came division fo the Oiibuser ranks toat is showing itself iu those of every otmor «ld politi- oul orgauzation, While the Washington fil'- busters are violeot aguinat tho Cas+-Yrinarri tresty, Soulé and Walker tnivk it beat to no cept it, aud (rast to luck uador it for future operations, This breaking up among the filibnaters ts not confined to the division between the New Or- leaus avd the Washington sections of tae Nica ragua echool. Anotber portion of these, nider the leed of Henningeen, bave shandoned the Nicaragua idea, and are turning their attention to Mex'can affairs, in the bope of getting bold of something in the breaking up of that repyb. lio. But by far the larger portion of the old echool filibustera, who look to the lead of Gen. Quitman and comprive in their ranks the best mep, whether considered as soldiers or politi- cians, are bidieg their time, aad lovking for some turn of affairs which shall carry them to Caba or elkewhere, ander the guidance asd sanction of the national governmeat. With tbeir chief in the House of Representatives, aud no small number of eympathisers in both houses of Congress, this nationalized portion of the filibusters are just mow the object of po small regard from the schemiog politi- cians who are endeavoriog to bring about a reconstruction of parties to further their owa ambitions views. The prino!pal dogma of the Mibuster creed, which is the exteosion of the boundaries of the Union, is becoming a part of every political platform iu the country. Goveroor Bauks is eodeavoring to weld the New England diibus ters to bis fortunes, on the ground that the mapafscturing and commercial interests of Mas- sachusetts fiud their true developement in the ex- tension of our limite aod the consequent increase of markets for their trade. The black repab- lieaus, under the coussel of Seward, are looking to Mexico as a large plank for their platform in 1860, and claim the sympathies of the filibusters “on @ purely commercial bottom.” Mr. Doo- little and the free soilere of the Northwest look to the acquisition of Cuba and our progresa southward as the means of opening a large mar ket for their graia aud meats which are now excluded from the couutries south of us by ad- verse tariffs. Humphrey Marshall and the Southern Know Nothings hope yet to give life to the oppositiou—to the democratic party in the South—by ionoculating it largely with the filibuster spirit. And old Sam Hoaston has hung out bis banner, lascribed with a Mexican protectorate, with the evident object of winning the filibuetera to his support. Each of these movements has iovolved some of the filibusters ia it, and the old organization ander that name is, as we have already said, exhibiting the samo signs of disintegration that characterize every otber political party. But all ot these outside schemes and plots are destined to experience an early failure. Soulé and Walker are political Quixottes, who will never find their Dulcinea de Tobasa, whether they seek her in Nicaragua or elsewhere. Baaks and Soward cannot succeed in bringing into their fellowship with niggers men who go in for the practical acquisition of territory, without looking too closely into the morality of the mode of doing it; and the Northwestern free- soilers have too many fine abstractions for the filibuster mind. The leaders of the national filibusters will carry the mass of tueir followers to the support of the administration in its policy of acquiring Cubs and conferring a stable gov- erpment upon Mexico. Under a saspeatien of the neutrality laws, they may bave the national ennction for liberating the gemof the Antilles, or under a convention with Mexico they may obtain the national guidance and support in the reorganization of « firm government for the Mexican republic, The Case Yrisarri treaty will open to them a field in Central America, where they can turn their swords into plough- shares; and the opening of Tehuantepec affords them an opportunity to convert their bayonets into pruning hooks, It is of no use to coquette with the Giibustere, gentlemen; they are bound to fall into the national ranks and keep step with the music of the Union. Medam Beecher Stowe, ‘ Uncle Tom, “Bleck Swan” We dare say shat when the late insults to our flag are wade kuown to the pew Derby Cabinet, they will be disclaimed aud stoned tor, 60 far as spologies and promises mey go, bat in the fotervel it would be aa ex- oclens thing to make an example of the Styx. lt would very much facilitate « distioos under- s'acding of the imitations of the Britich right of arch of American mercbant ships. If the posi- tion of our government upon this question, as laid down in the late correspondence of General Cars with Lord Napier, be not sufficiently plein, + more practical interpretation should be ap le "The object of these offeasive police trannac- tions of British cruisers in the Gulf is uader- etvod to be the suppression of the African tleve trade with Cova But there is nothing like consistency, even in negro philanthropy; end while exerolsing such fusolent espionage over American merchant vessels in the neigh- borbood of Cuba, how does it happen that the French Emperor has gone 80 boldly and lergely into the African slave traffic, with the full con- eent of her Britannio Mejeety’s goverament and the connivance of her cruisers at both ends of the route of these French traders? The details which we publish today of the African elave trip of the French steamer Stella, are as full of the horrors of the “Middle Passage” as could well be imagined. Probably there never bave been such frightful sufferings among the slaves of-any contraband trader of the last fifty years, as among this cargo of eo called “apprentices” of the French stesmer Stella, In this connection the question comes up, can our goverpment permit this reopening of the slave trade by the French government, while our treaties aud laws of Congress remsia upon our statute books denouncing this traffic as piracy? We know that it is the African slave trade, and that ite new name of appren- ticeship is but the flimsiest disguise. Shall this quibble or shall the spirit and intent of the law prevail !—or shall our association with Englaod and France, for the suppression of the African trade, be dissolved? If they are faithless, why chould we any longer be held responsible? Tax Ocwan Mam. Service anp THe Wast.— The principal opposition to a liberal treatment of our ocean mail lines by the govero- ment of the United States has always come from the West. Western members have voted against all grants to our lines of steam- ers in Congress, and Western influence has con- tinually lobbied, and successfully, against any encouragement to those parties who have, at an immense cost, endeavored to compete with foreign companies in carrying the United States mail to Europe, notwithstanding that the gov- ernment bas granted millions ot acres to Western railroads to fecilitate them in trans mitting the mails to the West. We perceive that the Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis have recently reported in favor of the estab- lishment of ocean mail service between this country and the West Indies, Brazil and the Argentine republics. Thus it appears that the Western men are beginning to wake up at last to the importance of the ocean mail lines, but too late to save our mail steamers to Europe from being sold under the Sheriff's hammer. Are the Western lobby afraid that they will not have any more land grants? —_—_ THE LATEST NEWS. Non-Arrival of the Nosth Americaa. Rive pv Lours, O. E., May 16—6:30 P.M.
