rate document, and is said to be drawn up with
great ability. It proposes to annul the decree
grunting a further extension of time to the
original contractor for the esmonencement of his
work. This proposition, which hiss been accepted
by the Senate. will have the effect to destroy the

ply with any of the conditions of the engagement.

of pease am first fulfilled.

At our last dates from Havana the most intense
excitement prevailed with regard to another inva-
sion, and so confidently was it expected that the
troops were ordered to sleep on their arms, and be
ready for marching at a moment's warning. The
mewls of war in port have been ordered to he ready
for action. It was currently reported in H
and generally believed, that the came of the deten-
,
tion of the Ohio on her last trip from New Wain+
to Havana was to bring out an invading farce, and
so great was the excitement on her arrival that hun-
dreds of people were waiting on the Mole to catch a
