THE PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL. ‘Unsettled Claims Against Foreign Go- nme: America for logs and damage in 1839, for violating the wee nts, blockade of Buenos Ayres and for the property thereby &., &e., &e. destroyed. Robert A. Parrish tenders a bill of fifteen millions of francs in fulfiiment of a verbal ageement en- tered into by M. Fould and the Minister of Finance, and confirmed by the Emperor, to pay him this amount upon his demonstration of the existence of a gold field similar to that of California and accessible to the French arms as oon ag the French flag can be raised in token of sove- reignty in any part of the territory indicated. He alleges this performance, and hence seeks the payment for the same. Against Spain there is a | account. Two claims against her involve nearly a million of dollars for alleged ps er of contracts, and a formidable list is preferred for loss of vessels by capture. John 8. Thrasher, of Cuban notoriety, whose cage was involved in political questions, claims: ,000, while there are eighty cases for loss and damage caused by the repeal of the Cuban ordinance of 1844 admitting provisions and lumber free of duty from the United States. Against Mexico there is a long list of ansettled and set- srr held responsible for losses to shippi rtugal is re le for shipping. Belgium has settled her accounts for losses on property at Antwerp by bombardment. There were twenty-one such cases. Holland and Denmark have not satisfied any of the claims against them. Prussia is asked to make explanation for the arrest and ill usage of a naturalized citizen, who returned to his native country, and who was held liable for military duty due before his emigration. This is one of a number of similar cases. Austria has little to answer for. Rome comes next. N. B. Campbell complains of being turned out of Civita Vecchia in an insulting matter, and being Kerth ost of forging a visa to his passport. The matter has been referred to our Minister. ‘Against Turkey, John Reeves claims for loss and damage sustained by allegations of the non-fulfilment of his con- tract for building vessels of war at Constantinople.

Hayti has not settled our accounts, Guatemala now owes us nothing. Against Nicaragua there are numerous cases, including claims for property destroyed at Greytown by the bom- bardment. All our claims against Costa Rica are unadjusted. There are two unsettled cases against San Salvador. The state of our claims is next stated against New Gra- nada, Venezuela, Ecuador, Chili, Brazil, Buenos Ayres, Uruguay, Paraguay and Peru. ‘The last named the longest list. Against Ecuador there is only one claim. It ay be some relief to know that the Sultan of Zoanna has made full reparation. The documents specify what claims against the above named governments have been settled, and in what man- ner, and the state of those now pending. In numerous instances the amounts of damage claimed are not stated; therefore there can be no clearly ascertained aggregate. Many millions are involved, and some of the cases have been pending forty years.

OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. Wasmixaton, Jan. 20, 1859. ‘The President has for some days past been closeted, and it is enid is preparing an important special message to Congress, bpt upon what subject is not known outside of * his Cabinet. In some quarters it is surmised that he is about to make some developements relative to the pur- chase of Cuba; probably in response to the resolu- tion of Mr. Seward, calling for the production of any correspondence which may have passed between our ‘government and those of any foreign nations on the sub- ject of Cuban annexation. It is thought that, as there may be no such correspondence existing, Mr. Buchanan js about to express his views as to the prospect of effect- ing @ purchase more at large to the Senate. In other quarters the opinion prevails that the subject upon which he is occupied is Mexico. It is conjectured that since the recent downfall of the Zuloago dynasty and the elevation of Robles and Miramon, the President has received some more defi- nite information touching affairs in that country, upon which he deems it advisable to communicate with Con- gress. Some think that it is in reference to propositions ‘made by President Juarez, through his Minister, Senor Mata. Others are of opinion that the subject the President has in hand is the wretched condition of the Treasury. It will be recollected that the President has authorized the Chair- man of Ways and Means to say that if funds are not pro- vided to meet Mr. Cobb’s necessities this session, an extra session would be called. Nothing since this warning was given (a week or ten days ago) has been done upon the subject in either house. Those who watch the course of things feel sure that this business, kept so secret, is the wants of the Treasury. ‘There is no doubt here about the fact that Mr. Buchanan is engaged on some important special message, but its exact purport seems to baffle speculation at present. + Ageneral impression prevails that Congress will place thirty millions at the disposal of the President for diplo- matic purposes connected with Cuba. The measure meets with the approval of the party here. An appropriation ‘will algo be made for a large increase to our navy. These two measures will necessarily involve a loan. The Committee on Ways and Means have had several consultations with the Secretary of the Treasury, leading members of Congress and prominent merchants, upon the subject of the tariff, and will be prepared in the course of a week or 80, to present a report to Congress. The report will embody a recommendation to re- establish the rates of the tariff of 1846, or nearly 0, upon certain prominent articles, as recently suggested by the Hara, The highest rate will probably be fifty per cent ‘on liquors, Iron will be re-established at thirty per cent. AB matters now look, it would not be surprising if the tariff ot 1846 was nearly or entirely re-established. ‘The chairman of the committee has requested that the Jeading New York merchants shall draw up a schedule twhich will be satisfactory to them. It 8 understood that no opposition will be offered inany quarter to the increased duty on iron. ‘The amended tariff will undoubtedly pass Congress, to go into effect on the first of July. Meantime there will be a rush to secure importations at the lower rates of the exiat ing tariff, and it is believed the increasedfamount thus col. Hected will be sufficient to relieve the treasury without ‘further loan for the regular expenses. The Secretary’s request to allow the Treasury notes be re-issued will of course be granted. ‘The Pacific Railroad bill will be killed in tho Senate, a ‘will also the Old Soldiers’ Pension bill. ‘The French Spoliation bill stands a poor chance in th House. ‘There is no truth in the rumor that Miramon has offered ‘to sell Chihuahua and Sonora to the United States. ‘The Navy Department also has letters from Hong Kong, tating that Minister Reed was dafly expected in the Min- ‘nesota. Business was dull, but reviving. The allies were sstill in possession of Canton. The Commissioners had not Yet arranged the tariff under recent treaties. Freights $8 per ton. American vessels found difficulty in obtaining freights. : Ata meeting of the House Post Office Committee this imorning, Mr. English, the Chairman, was authorized to rt a general billon the subject of transporting the United States mails to forcign countries, and authorizing the Postmaster General to contract for performing any such service for the accruing postages, sea and inland, or & specific sum not exceeding the postages realized lon any given routo during the fiscal year which jended 30th of June, 1868—the period of any such contract not to exceed ten years. The committee lwere equaily divided on the subject of placing the ‘viee between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts upon the ime basisas above. Mr. English was also authorized to rt a bill abolishing the franking privilege, and con- g all fature contracts to the carrying of the mails, without reference to the carrying of passengers. 4 The House Military Committee is daily engaged ex- ining the documents pertaining to the war debt of gon and Washington Territories. They will reduce it m six millions to less than three millions, and before it ipaeses through the Finance Committee of the Senate it is believed they will cut it down to a million dollars. The Senate Committee on Naval Affairs will, next meet- ‘ng, take up the resolution referred to them authorizing the esident to restore to their former positions all officers of © navy displaced by the Retiring Board. It is doubtful fhether such a resolution will pass this session. ‘The officers ordered to the store ship Relief, ordered to inwal!, are Commander Roger Perry, Lieutenants Fitz- gerald, Thornton and Mercer; Assistant Surgeon D, Rush itchell; Purser James Mitchell. The arrangements fora grand ball to Lord and Lady Napier are nearly completed. It is said it will be at Wil- jard’s Hotel the first week in February; tickets, $10.

THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION. Senate. e Wasnrxcton, Jan. 20, 1859. ‘The House bill for the relief of the Mobile and Ohio Rail- road was taken up. Considerable debate ensued on the question, whether to pass it or to refer itto the Committee on Public Lands. It was finally laid over. The Invalid Pension bill was taken up and passed. INCREASED POWERS TO THE PRESIDENT, Mr. Bensamin, of La., reported a substitute for Mr. Mason’s bill, which authorized the President to use the public forces of the United States. Mr. Benjamin’s sub- stitute, which was ordered to be printed, is in substance as follows :—The first section gives power to the President, whenever he has reason to apprehend that any of the transit routes will be obstructed or closed by lawless ves- sels, or that an attack is threatened against the persons or property of our citizens, to use the land and naval forces to prevent the threatened injury, on condition that the forces used are withdrawn as soon as the object is accomplished. The second section gives power to the President, in case of actual violence to the persons or pro- perty of our citizens in any of the Central American States, or in Mexico, to use the land and naval forces in exacting instant redress, the forces to be withdrawn as soon as redress is granted. Section three requires an im- mediate report to Congress of what the President may do under the provisions of sections one and two. THE PAGIFIO RAILROAD. The Pacific Railroad bill as amended came up. ‘The Pacific Railroad bill has been so overlaid by amend- ments that it has almost entirely changed its shape. The following is its present condition, as now under conside- ration:— A BILL ‘TO AUTHORIZE TUE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO CON- ‘TRACT FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF THR MAILS, TROOPS, SBA- MEN, MUNITIONS OF ‘WAR, ARMY AND NAVY SUPPLIES, AND ALL OTHER GOVERNMENT SERVICE, BY RAILROAD, FROM THE MISSOURI RIVER TO SAN FRANCISCO, IN THE STATE OF CALI- FORNIA.

Wasuixron, Jon. 20, 1859. The Navy Department has received from Commander jdgley, of the steamer Atlanta, despatches dated Barba. joes, 24th December. He states the vessel bad a plea ‘ant voyage to Cumana, General Paez enjoyed good wealth, with the exception that he was still unable to ik in consequence of the injury to his ankle in New ‘ork, and hat to be carried to his residence on a litter. AUlanta found at Barbadoes the steamers Westernport M. W. Chapin, which were taking in coal previous to ving for Paraguay. Commander Ridgley received from eral Paez a letter, which is enclosed to the Navy De- ent, in which he expresses a warm regard for ley and the other officers of the Atlanta, and says the attentions of this government to him shall never be n, and that he loves the United States as dearly as own native land, ‘The President sent into the Senate to-day, in com- iance with & resolution of that body, a document show- the condition of the unsettled claims against foreign moments, together with somo of those which have adjusted.

Mr. Davia, (adm.) of Miss., moved to strike out all after the enacting clause, and adopt as a substitute his minority report, the main features of which are an appropriation of ten million of dollars and ten sections of lana per mile to consirnet the road; the said ten million to be refuaded, in the form of net proceeds, into the treasury. No ter: mini are named, and no monopoly is to be given to any special company. ‘The road is to run from the Atlantic to the Pacific States. He believed that the road could be Wuilt over a certain route on these terms, and made a Jengihened speech in support of his views.

Mr BLam, (opp.) of Mo., offered the Homestead bill as an amendment, but it was ruled out of order. Mr. Grow, (opp.) of Pa., offered an amendment that from and after the passage of this act no public lands shall be exposed for sale by proclamation of the President unless returns of the surveys thereof shall have been duly filed in the Land Office ten years or more; which was adopted by fifteen majority. The House by four majority rejected the bill by re- fusing to order it to be engrossed for a third reading.

Mr. Grow’s Minority Report Against Oregon. Mr. Grow, from the Committee on Territories, made the following report:— VIEWS OF A MINORITY OF THE COMMITTEE ON TERRITORIES ON ‘THR APPLICATION OF THE PEOPLE OF OREGON FOR ADMIS- SION INTO THE UNION. By section 3, article 4 of the constitution, it is pro- ‘vided that «New States may be admitted by the into the Union.” The time, mode and manner of is sion are therefore left by the constitution wholly to the discretion of Congress. In the exercise thereof States bovee Gong creat the people bi the Tort act ngress aul to form a constitution and State government. Tho Territeries of the Union have thus been transformed into States with- out uniformity in the mode and manner of procedure, and without any uniform ruleas to the number of population, the whole subject of the pi lety of admission having been left to the discretion of at the time of the application of the p State. e two houses of grees, however, at the last ses- sion declared in their action on the application for the admission of Kansas as a State that its then existing popu- tion was sufficient for its immediate admission into the Union as aslave State; but if its people were un‘ to come into the Union with such a constitution, then they ‘were authorized to elect delegates to form a constitution and State government beh ogey oto application for admission, whenever, and not , it is ascertained by a census duly and legally taken, thai the population of the bill amen: said Territory equals or exceeds the ratio of representa- tion required for a member of the House of Representa- tives of the Congress of the United States, That restriction upon the actio# of the people of Kansas received the ap- proval of the President, and is a law upon the statute book to-day. The President, not satisfied with his official ap- proval of the act at the time of its passage, takes occasion, in discussing the Kansas question in his annual message, ‘at the opening of the present session of Congress, to say, relative to the admission of Kansas as a State, that surely it is not unreasonable to require the people of Kansas, before making a third at- tempt, to wait until the number of their inhabitants shall amount to ninety-three thousand four hundred and twenty. Had the reasonableness of this requirement sug- gested itself to the President in his message transmitting the Lecompton constitution to Congress, much valuable time in the legislation of the country might might have been eaved, and a dangerous sectional, agitation avoided. The President, in the game annual message, further de- clares that any attempt by the people of Kansas to form a State constitution before the number of their population reaches the required amount, would be “ in express vio- lation of the provisions of an act of 88,” and in the judgment of the President, therefore, could not lawfully ‘be made should it beattempted. Judging of the future vy the past conduct of the Executive towards the people of Kansas, the President would declare it a case of rebellion or treason, and the army of the republic would again be employed under the plea of preserving ‘ law and order,”” to suppress constitutional liberty in Kangas. This is the first instance in the history of the government where Congress has declared that the same population which is recognized as sufficient for a slave State was not suifl- cient for a free State, and the Chief Magistrate of tho re- public not only sanctions such discrimination, but avows his readiness to insist on it in the execution of the law, so far as they ailect the people of . The undersigned minority of your committee are unable to appreciate the fairness or justice of this kind of legislation towards the people of ditferent Territories, and are unwilling to give their sanction in any way to a discrimination as to the amount of population required for afree or slave State, ‘and much less as to the controlling political character of the proposed State. The application for both Kansas and Oregon to be admitted into the Union was presented at the last session of Congress. Noithor had been authorized by a previous act of Congress to form a constitution. So in that respect they were both alike, As nearly as could be ascertained (no census having been taken in either since 1855), there was little or no difference as to tho number of their population. Each had lected a State Legislature and other officers; and so far they were alike prepared to enter the Union, The only real difference that existed in the two cases prior to the application of either, was that Oregon had a Territorial government not unsatisfactory to her people, and a Legislature chosen by her own cilizens, while the Torritorial organization of Kansas was ‘pation by fraud and force, and its political powers were wi ‘by usurpers and despots, ‘Without expressing my opinion as to the propriety of a restriction on new States as to the population, if general in its character, or as to the necessity of any previous act of Congress authorizing the formation of a State government, and without inquiring whether the constitu- tion submitted by the people of Oregon is republican in form and consistent in its provisions with the guaranties of the constitution of the United States, while the restric tien on the action of the people of Kansas remains on the statute book, unless made of universal application to all the Territories, the undersigned feel that this approval of the application of Oregon under the circumstances, would be giving their sanction to an unjust discrimination be- tween the people’of different Territories, if not indirectly endorsing the odious dietinction made in the law of the Jast session of Congress against free inetitutions and free States. NATIONSL POLITICS IN PENNSYLVANIA. Our Harrisburg Correspondence. Harnusuvra, Pa , Jan. 18, 1859. Important Movement in Favor of Cameron for the Presi- dency—The Turiff— President Buchanan Endorsed at Home—Increased Duty on Coal and Irom’-The Tonnage Jax on the Central Railroad—The Lobby—General Duff Green, de., de. ‘There is an extensive movement here having for its ob- Ject to nominate Cameron for President for 1860, I have been here only three days, and for that reason I have not succeeded as yet in getting hold of the plan of action; but IMs friends have succeeded in electing the officers of the House and the State Treasurer. The opponents of Came- ron have not been able to get hold of any of the offices or spoils. In fact the organization is now in a position to wield a powerful influence in the next twelve months. The movements thus far have been under the strictest secresy. ‘The clection of the State Treasurer having been accom- plished, and other detentions characteristic to the organi- zation of the Legislature being out of the way, the Penn- sylvania law makers have commenced in earnest their labors. This afternoon the House of Representatives passed re- solutions mstructing the Pennsylvanian representatives in Congress upon the tariff question. Only four out of the one hundred members of the House were recorded against the resolutions. The resolutions have not been acted upon in the Senate, but will be at an early day, where they will be adopted with as little opposi- tion as in the House. It is, in fact, a question that Penn- sylvania is more deeply interested in than any other, and he who records his vote against it does not speak the sentiments of his constituents. ‘The following is a copy of the resolutions: — Whereas, as the experience of the past and present mos fully demonstrate that it is a wise and beneficent policy of the general government which diciates the imposition of duties oa such ucts of foreign nations as come in such direct contact with of our own country as to injure and prostrate the trade on our own soil and among our own citizens, and for ‘want of such the artizan and laborer in many departments of trade are compelled to abandon their accustomed pursuits; es pecially do our own coal and fron interests suffer—| . Resolved (by the Senate and House of Kepreseutatives of «Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met), That our Seustors in Congress be instru tat as will not \d to increase the revenue by the imposition cf duties, but afford ample encour: ent to all the interests of the country, injured by the productions of the cheap labor of other countries, but more ally to urge an increase of du- ties on coal and iron, in which so large a portion of our own people are deeply interested. Resolved, That the views of the President, expressed in his late annual message, in reference to the advantage of definite or specific over ad valorem duties, as more unifgrm, less liable to frauds and affording the most certain amount Of revenue and ntection, meet our hearty a PrResolved, That the Governor be requested to forward toeach reas a copy 0° the of our Senators and representauves in above preamble ang resolutions, informing them of whelr adop- ‘You will recollect that the lower House is strongly re- publican, and presents a strong endorsement in the above resolutions of a democratic President. It would seem that the republican members of the House don’t consider President Buchanan so bad a man after all. Poor For- ney, too, will have to give his endorsement. The work of the present Legislature will be very light; the State having disposed of all their public works, there is nothing to quarrel over, and the only question of this session of any importance is that of the tonnage tax on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, a burden that no other road in the United State could stand and prosper as that has done; but by honest and superior management it has worked its way through the mountains of this State, and has become one of the best and most prosperous roads in the Union. Whether the same narrow minded policy will govern this Legislature as has done its prede- cessors upon that subject, remdine yetto be seen. If the managers of this road fail before the Legislature, they will take it before the Supreme Court, where they feel san guine of obtaining a decree declaring the tax unconstitu- tional or in violation of the comity of States. The messages of the various departments of the State government show all branches to be in a prosperous con- dition—none More so than the School Department. This branch of the State government is now wielding a greate- influence upon the destinies of this commonwealth than allthe others put together. Its superior organization, reaching into every corner of the State, is eee the whole State upon the subject of common schools; even “Old Berks’’ has to yield to the pressure. Let the present State organization of the common schools be but guided for the next ten years by experienced hands and in ac- cordance with the spirit of the present law, and Penusy!- vania will outstrip all her sister States in her educational The lobby, as usual, is well and thoroughly organized. Amongst the most | epost and active is the far famed Gen. Duff Green. th early and late he can be seen tra- yale ae and forth between the different hotels, but- ton-holing the members. Whether he succeeds in offering one practical idea or not,I am unable to say; but ove would think, from his untiring efforts, that the responsi- bilities of the Union rested upon bis shoulders. Meeting of the American Institute—Nomina- tion of Officers for 1859. The American Institute held a meeting at their rooms in Broadway last evening, to hear the report of the Commit- tee of Fifteen, appointed at the last meeting to make nomi- nations of officers of the Institute for the year 1859. The Board of Managers of the Institute for the past year having resigned their offices, in consequence of dissatisfaction ex- pressed in some quarters at their conduct subsequent to the burning of the Crystal Palace, a good deal! of interest is felt to learn who are to be their successors. The Board of Managers have heretofore been elected for aterm of three years, but the by-laws of the Institute have recently been changed go as to make the election of the managers, like the other officers, take place annually, The Nominating Committee last evening reported a full liat of officers of the Institute, some of whom are new men, but the majority are old officials. Of the Board of Managers eleven new names were reported, and the re- aon thirteen are the same as last year. Prof. Jas. Renwick was nominated for President of the Institute, in place of Robert Pell, who declines a re-election. ‘The Vice Presidents are the same as last year, with the ion of Jno. A. Bunting, in place of Edwin Smith. John Gray was nominated urer,in place of E. T. Backhouse. The Recording and Corresponding Secretary are the same as last year. Mr. Gopwin, from the Nominating Committee, presented a minority report denouncing the action of the majority, and stating that eight members of the committee had nomi themselves on the Board of Managers. Some sharp discussion followed the introduction of the minority ney which was finally laid on the table. majority report was then taken up, and each name be Lacon tay The whole ticket was endorsed.

Dougherty and John Ca- sey, were taken before Justice Bedford on a charge of breaking into a house in West Hoboken. It appears that the family were absent at the time, and tho prisoners were observed to enter the house by a lady residing near by, andas she was informing Mr. Christine, who hap- pened to be passing, of the fact, the fellows were observed making their escape over the rear fence with a bundle and overcoat. Mr. Christine pursued them, and upon coming up arrested Casey, when Dougherty drew a revolver and threatened to blow out Christine's brains if he did not release Casey. Being alone, Christine considered it prudent to let them go. The fellows then started towards Hoboken, but finding they were followed, changed their course towards Jersey City. Christine sent a man to the Hoboken ferry to prevent their cross- ing, and then took a stage for the Jersey hy deat to in- tercept them at that point. In passing through Grove street, he saw them going along the sidewalk. He at once gave information at the station house, and as Oasey and Dougherty were going down Montgomery stree} they were taken into custody. They found upon one of them a large knife, but the bundle, overcoat and revolver had probably been hidden. The prisoners are residents of Jersey City, and are well known to the police. Justice Bedford committed them to await examination.

The United States steamship Black Warrior, Captain Smith, from New Orleans and Havana, reached this port early yesterday morning. She left New Orleans on the 12th, reached Havana on the 14th instant, and left there on the 15th, at 4.30 P, M., making this port as stated. ‘The Black Warrior has on freight from New Orleans one hundred thousand Mexican dollars. The Black Warrior has had fine weather the entire passage. Our Havana files received by the Black Warrior con- tain dissertations upon the President's Message and the much talked of sale of Cuba to the United States. If the newspapers may be taken as representing public opinion, the “ever faithful Isle’”’ deserves its title, for the loyalty of the people to Isabella II. seems unbounded. By the steamer that left Havana for Spain on the 14th, protesta- tions of loyalty were forwarded to the Spanish govern- ment from the Aywntamientos of Havana, Santiago de Cuba, Matanzas Puerto, Principe, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Remedios, Villaclara, Sancti-Spiritus, Bejucal, Guines, San Antonio, Guanabacoa, Jaruco, Santiago, Rosario, Holguin, Manzanillo, Bayamo, Jiguani and Baracoa; the municipal juntas of Cardenas, Bahia Honda, Guanajay, Sagua la Grand, Pinar del Rio, San Cristobal, Colon, Guantanamo, Cobre, Tunas and Caney; the parochial junta of the Isle of Pines; the bishop and ecclesiastics of Havana; the Gover- nor and ecclesiastics of Santiago de Cuba; the ladies of Havana, Matanzas and Bejucal; the University of Havana; the economical! societies of Havana and Santiago; the bat- talions and squadron of volunteers of Havana, and the army of Cuba; the Bank of Spain of Havana; Professors in the preparatory and special schools of Havana; the col- leges of lawyers and notaries of the same city, and tribu- nal of commerce of Matanzas. In Havana the excitement in relation to the future of Cuba and the discussions on President Buchanan’s mes- sage, had nearly died out. The Danish sloop-of-war Nayada, thirty-two guns, was in port, and attracted much attention. Havana was very healthy and the weather delightful. Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen from the States were enjoying themselves in the capital of Cuba. Maretzek’s Opera troupe, both at Havana and Matan- zas, has proved an all powerful attraction. The perform- ances would be continued until after the Easter holidays. The sugar market was flat. Stock of old sugar on hand, 12,000 boxes; new, 5,000 boxes. Sales of 3,000 new crop at 2234.

Proposition to General Concha to Declare the Island Inde: pendent—The Captain General Receives Letters from “Memphis, in Pennsyloania!’—Crittenden and the Mar- tyrs—News from St. Domingo—New Uniform for the Students—Operatic Items—Markets, dc., dic. ‘ The Gaceta of the 9th inst. has an article, which algo will be found, accompanied by certain editorial observa- tions, in the succeeding impression of the Diario de la Marina of 11th inst. This article contains a ridiculous cock and a bull story about a person named Reneaud having written a letter to bis Excellency the Captain General, offering him a large sum of money (fifteen mil- lions of dollars) to declare this island independent, and himself (the Captain General) its first President. It seem; difficult to believe that any such letter was bona fide written. ‘The story appears to have been gotten up to make political capital out of; but thisis mere supposition, based partially upon the statement that the letter was dated from ‘Mem. phis, Pennsylvania,” when everybody resident in the United States knows “‘Memphis’’ is in the State of Ten neasee. The time, too, selected for the delivery of the letter to the C: General, when he had guests (among them the Consu! General) at dinner, bears a suspi- cious appearance. Both the articles of the Gaceta and the Diario de la Marina, however, hold out, as I under- stand them, the disgraceful massacre of Crittenden and his brave associates at the base of Fort Atares as a sort of threat to warn us who live here in Cuba what we may expect will be our fate should we dare to enter into or join in any schemes to revolutionize this island. Had the editors of both those rg been wise men they would never have alludedjto the “massacre of At a — an event that disgraces the history of Spain in Cuba, and which, had they anything in the sbape of chivalry in ‘their nature, or were there “ee like civilization in their composition, they would blush even to remember.
