Again, the immense emit/radon ten the northern states
to the new territory, makes it utterly impessib`e to introduce
slavery there ; and if even it were preetbabls to take oar
southern nerve's there, modem could prevent their self-
liberation upon their arrival. Thus, as I bays before stated,
the slavery poen is a sapid asorteistes, and nothing else.

We have some late news from Cuba. The Spanish autho-
rities are represented as being very much alarmed at the
ponble sannation of that island to the United States. It
is said Am eon newspapers are not allowed to be received,
ad onsets on sanfmoa of treason are frequent. I men-
tioned to yogasmabtonslisf that there had been 1011211 idea of this,

Span& sememmeat at home would like to sell Cuba for a
Imp es of money. Certain influential parties in Madrid
listens le the proposition, and it then became mummy, to

Doubtless Mr. Buchanan was in•tructed to see what wa- the
chance of such a nevtiation, and a correspondence of some
leneth mearrsd;which ;might or mightnotsee the light of day.
Thi., I imagine, will be found to be the true state of the
ease. The coming in of General Taylor will put an end to
this affair, however. We are much en need of good suet,
and cafe', eves the poorest nee it here, and many p. eons
think if we had Cuba our commercial prosper ty would be
unlimited. The troth is, we only want a good treaty with
Spain, and we should never dream of purchasing Cuba. But
as Ion; as that unhappy country is the prey of factions, sod
the people remain ignorant an 1 sepentitious, neither trade
nor reciprocity is trade eau be expected from their rulers.
We Dave a late arrival from Vera Cruz at New Orlear.s,
with dates to the Bth of Dismalier tram Mexico. The affairs
of Tapia still present embernmesent The Mexican
pipers suspect the design is needy ripe, to break off the
t r.tter relations of this state with the central government,
and General La Vega, who wee trek* cur prisoner during
the trte war, has bees ordered to march with a small body
of troops epee Tampico. The states of Nuevo Leon and Ban
Luis are supposed to be accomplices in the Sierra Madre
movement. The gement eondition of Mexico is not very

towards the goverment. The probability is that there was
some suspicion of the public fit (Is going into the wrong
pashas. Another came of difficulty was the current report
that the (*comment intended raising a large body of trop
in the United States for its own protection.
The news from the different putt of the ooun'ry was not
favourable. That o bloody revolution had commenced at
Chiapas; several officers had been arrested at Meradao.
The troubles in the ffirrra had not been quelled, and the
amount of goods smuggled in at Matamoros was beggaring
the revenue. The Indians were ravaging the frontiers as
usual, and a WIZ of castes like that of Ytratan was much
feared. Neverthrless some of the hopeful men of that re-
, public are endearing to introduce tome new schemes of in.

respond with the movements of the " most favoured nations."
Than a railroad from the cop;tal to Tayasubs, steamers on
the lakes in its vicinity, and a line of stage coaches from it to
Morelia, are much talked about, and Probably will be
atusmpted.
Gar news from the sou,h up to the latest moment is not
very important. General Taylor and Mr. Clay met at Baton
Rouge. The latter said, " General, I did not know you;
you have grown out id my ree4lection." The old soldier,
with his usual tact, replied, "Sir, you have not grown out
se ad..."

—Mr. Clay is about to return to the United Steam senate.
We never doubted but that he would return there on the
first occasion. He is sommustomed to public honours, and to
be the object of pubic regard, that retrement is not agree-
able. It is also rumoured that General Cue will return to
the senate trom Michigan. He has met with a violent oppo-
sition.

Our money market is easy. Stocks are not in the least in-
Sated, because, under the present state of strain, capitalists
look to larger dividends than these stocks will pay.
Mersey can be had on good security for 5 to 8 per cent

the general belief that the affairs of the Reading Railroad
