It is reported from Washington that the first spo
preaches made towards the government of Spain. hi
teterence to the purchase of Cuba, took place in the
1516, through the agency of Mr. Soule of '
Louisiana, then on a visit to that country. The
communications of Mr. Soule, it is added, were not
made officially, but suggestively, so as to lead to the
opening of the diplomatic correspondence which has
lately found the light.
Hiram Brown, a coloured man, has been arrested
at Syracuse by the marshal for helping in the rescue
of Jerry. He wintered in Canada. Marshal Allen
had had the warrant for • keg time, but has been
unable to serve it, Brown having kept out of the
way. lie has been bailed till January.
A fatal collision occurred on the Rochester and
Syracuse Railroad on the morning of the 18th. The
express train from Buffalo came in contact with the
dirt trais, near a place called Williamsville, instantly
killing three persons, and injuring several others,
one, it is supposed, mortally.
A heavy freriket has done some damage at Eufaula,
Alabama, large quantities of cotton having been
washed away.
By the Halifax papers we notice that heavy falls
of snow have taken place there and in various parts
of the province. So violent was the storm on the
24th ult., that the telegraph line between Amherst
and Sackville, a distance of only nine miles, was
broken in sixty places.
A terrific storm has swept over Lake Erie, and
many disasters to property and shipping have ileabt-
less occurred. The lake is liable to sudden beapeete
at this season, and vessels plying upon it air! Asa
caught unprepared.
It is ;mud, io letters from Havana, that a sinnibm
of manifestoes from New York, have been soled hp
the Cuban government. The documents advbeill
peaceable people to stay at home during the sp-1
proaching invasion, and intimated a certainty of
protection to suzh parties as should abstain from
meddling.
The steamship Fulton, at Washington, brings
tiding. from Havana in relation to the affair of the
Lady Suffolk. It appears that the complicity of the
captain-general in the slave trade, has been made
pretty manifest by the late developments. Captain
Gray and the crew of the Lady Suffolk have been
released by order of the captain-general. There was
net sufficient evidence to prove that they knowingly
sold their ship for a slaver. Private letters from
Havana, received at New Orleans, announce the ea. I
petted arrival of a fleet of slaves, fur which the
British cruisers were keeping a sharp look out. A
new revolutionary paper, the lir: del Puebla, has
been established at Matanzas—being published. how-
ever, in manuscript. The authorities have bete ap-
prised of its existence and circulation. The steam-
ship Cherokee from Havana, has reached New Orleans
and reports the account of her reception by the autho-1
rities of Cuba. Unrestricted communication with the
shore was permitted, the passengers and crew land-
ing as trosL The captain of the port intimated that
the difficulty was all settled. The 11 paPer

Dates from Mexico to the 20th November bring
somewhat remarkable tidings. The defeat of General
Blanco by the French Count, Raousset-Doolbon, is
announced. The count has proclaimed the state of
Sonora independent, but annexed to France. The
troubles in that region have excited attention for •
considerable period. According to this account they
have been quieted after a curious fashion. The re-
port is probably inaccurate. No battle has table
place between Gen. Braga and Gem Veldts', the
leader of the federal troops, as previously reported.
Veldts is occupying a fortified camp, but in a critical
position, and has been summoned to surrender
by Uraga. The latter dim has been is.
