REPLY OF SECRETARY TOUCRY.

The Secretary of the Navy wrote to the President on
the 10th of 111ay that the :United States steamer Fulton,
Captrin Aliisy, fiat 'been ord'erced to cruise actively on
the or rthern coast of Cuba, and take such measures as
may be deemed necessary to protect all vessels of the
United States on the high seas from search or detention
from vessels of war of acy other nation. Orders have
been given for the preparation of the twee Savannah
and brig D Iphin to join the home sculadrou for the Our-
po-ie I f ct uising in the neighbourhood of Cuba, ar,d that
the ,t,,aiu frigate Wabash new fitting out in New York
al the flag-chip of the Mediterranean squadron, has been
clirect,d to show her flag in those vcaters and protect at
all times the persons and property of American citizens.
SECRETARY CASS TO MINISTER DALLAS.

Secre'ary Cas-, wrising to Mr. Daila,, Msy 18, iu-
forms bins that various statements have been made in
the penile Fapers, showing that there are cases of forcible
,g detentions ;awl searches of American vessels by British
;y armed ships of war, in the Gulf of Mexie ) and rvijoieih4
a seas. In every case where these reports have come to
the knowledge of the state department, application has
e- brew made immediately to the proper collector to pro.
in cure from the captain of the vessel a particular acconot
is or the outrage, e.ith a view to make it the sulject f
reeLanat:on upon the British Government. Answers to
some of these publications have been received, and
'6 copies of them, agretaWe to the ann, x,,d list, Ire here-
Y with tra,nionitted for your inf• rina,tion, as well as for
le your prompt action. You shall be kept advised of these
id ass-auits on our national rights.
se In a ldition to those aggressiotis on the high seas and
le incefensible acts of violence against several of our /ner-
d chant vessels, usid to be 11 in number; a forcible entry
o. and ex iminatteia has been committed by a British aimed
steltner in the harbour of Sagua la Grande, in the island
of Cuba. No authentic report has reached the depart-
-0 merit, with the exception of a letter from our consul
general at savannah, and of which a copy is transmitted.
Proper measures have been taken to procure all the
necessary information which will be forwarded ycu.
When all the facts have been ascertained, proper re-
;11 prtsmtations will be made without delay to the Govern-
it merit of her Catholic Majesty against this search of
American vessels by the naval forces of another power,
within the territorial jurisdiction of Spain. The Go-
vernment of the United States is satisfied that the Go-

Lt vet nment of that country will adopt Efficient measures
Le to protect their veszeis r,sortiug to Spanish ports from
lawless vhdence. Such protection Or), Are entitled to ;
and if it is not secured Else wheru it must be found iu
the power of our own country.
Secretary Cass says he is not idortnel whether any
it,j :ry was su,tained in consequence of the proceedings
3:4iiinst those ves;els. If there were, it is expected it
will be made good by the Spanish Government, or by
means of its in!e:positi)it with the government of Great

Britain.
These flagrant violations of the right of the United
states, he adds„have excited deep feeling through the
country, and Lave attracted the attention of both houses
of Congress. Their continuance cannot LIU to produce
the most serious effect upon the relations of the two
countries. The President curdideetly believes that the
British naval officers, in the adoption of these high-
ha, ded measures; have acted without the authority, aed
have mistaken the views of their Government. But it is
not less duo to the Ur.iled States that their couthici
shall be disavow, d, and peremptory orders iBSUJiI to
prevent the recurrence of siaiilar proceeding/. You will
communicate to Earl 111alnieshnly the reasonable cipec-
titi•sn of the President that this sulject shall receive the
itnitiodiate attention of her Majeety'a Government, and
that the offieers who have been guilty of these outrages
tiLa•l be held properly respowlble for their conduct, and
th,:t where pecuniary interests Lavo be.m sustained tie
interested parties shall receive compen.sation. YOJ will
i .vite the particular attention of Lord Malineebury to the
occurrence at Sagua Ls Grande, and to the just expec..
tation of the United States diet the measure of redress
a'toPted by the British Government upon this cave ~.ill
be such as to mark with its displeasure the conduct of
given serious cause
the officer whose proceedings have given
to
provsut .
of offence to a friendly power, andmilar
inlet ference hereafter.

ith''lr however the period of thtir existence, like
that) of individuals, may be bidden from human
e) es ;—they arise, flourish, decline, and pass away,
leaving but a memory more or less important in the re-
cords of the world's history. How many of these have
passed away since Romulus raised his castle on the Pala-
tine hill—the first germ of that city which was destined
to link together, in a chain of gorgeous architecture, the
seven hills upon ,ahich Rome now stands 1 How many
periods—not, indeed, of one existence, but, in truth, of
various—has she gone through—a metempsychosis, as it
were, in which, however, the same spirit can still be re-
cognised as animating her—a spirit that dominates, ur
~trug4les ever to dominate, over the world, whether
that domination be material or morel—the rule of the
sword or the rule of the cross. And there she is ant—
a beauty and a mystery—with the rewards of her kings,
her consuls, her emperors, and her pontiffs ; all co-
sxistent, from the early tomb to the modern sarco-
phagus—from the p.,gan temple to the Christian lane
whom dome towers in lofty pre-eminence over every
surrounding object. One does not wonder at the re-
verence which all mankind accords her—the love which
her own children, whether they be such politically or
Rphitually, willingly render her—
