Erhedition. against Cuba.-It was lately
rumored at Vera Cruz, that the Columbian
Government was fitting out an cxpcditionyto
attack Cuba, and that the Mexican Govern
ment was to furnish certain quota OF the
force. As a confirmation of the correctness
of this repart, it is stated that the Scio, capt.
Graves, of Philadelphia, had been chartered
by the latter government, to transport troops
to Campeachy, which was to be the general
rendezvous, and that it was in treaty for
number of other American vessels for the
same purpose, they being preferred.
A number Of troops had assembled at We
"a Cruz and more were momently looked
| for, as they were marching from all parts OF
! the country. The quota of troops to be fur
nished BY Mexico is said to be 7,5oo. The
Columbian troops were assembling at Car
thagena the quota of that republic said to
be l2,50O. The forces were expected to
sail for general rendezvous about the mid
die of January, and the combined army to
arrive off Cuba about the first of April.
Those at Havana who were in favor OF
more liberal government, were anxiously
looking for the arrival of the expedition.
A very splendid dinner and ball was given
at Vera Cruz on the occasion OF the surren-
der of the castle of ST. Juan d'Ulloa.

The aspersions which have been thrown
from time to time on the Female Character
by men Of unquestionable talent, are too nu-
merous, vague and irrcconcileable to reason,
to admit of much notice in this limited es-
say. l will notice but one, remark of the
celebrated Junius. He says, in one of his
letters, "Women, and men-like women, are
timid, vindictive and irrcsolute. Their pas
sions counteract each other and make the
same creature at one moment hateful, at a
mother, contemplate" a Adespcable char
acter indeed, but happily not true one. II
women are timid and irresolutc, these are
the effects Of their modesty and bcncvclcnce,
malignity in females is seldom unaccompa-
MED with courage and ability to prac-
tce it. Even the classic and elegant Juni-
US, although his head was richly stored with
the most splendid and vigorous qualities OF
the human mind, gave too much evidence OF
heart not overhowing with the milk Of hu.
man kindness. He certainly cannot be
charged with timidity orirresoluton; for the
grand characteristic of his writings is a
stern, infexible vlndictiveness, that knew not
how to spare. 1t must be obvious to every
man Of observation that the preceding re-
maks as they have reference to the superb
or class of females, are strictly true, and
with regard to those who are unquestionably
iaferior, they can be easily balanced by ar
equal number of men of the same grade o.
intellect; for no one will pretend to say there
is any mental difference between the +.
phemeral Dandy and his superficial Belle.

1t is a matter of surprise, in this age of
enlightened views and liberal opinions, that
men are vet reluctant to admit an equality
of talent in females. Because women have
not, generally, taste for dry metaphysical
researches, it is inferred that they are decid-
edly inferior in solidity of Judgment and
comprehensivenes of intellect. Inflated by
their own consequence, and blinded by their
selfishness, men neglect to look to educa-
cation and the power of circumstances, for
the causes OF this asserted inferiorty-they
are perversely ignorant Of the obvious fact
that the dormant energies of female minds
are capable of more elevated pursuits than
mere reading of Novels and Romances, or
the composition of an unmeaning sonnet
they will not see that by nature, women are
equal and often superior to the most dignifi-
ed exersises ofthe mind. With infinite sa-
gacity, il is thought really astonishing that
women shonld be ignorant of things they
were never taught. Wonderful indeed that
the female understanding with its natural a
cuteness of perception, cannot comprehend
the mysteries of Philosophy without being
educated in its principles. Men marvel with
a sort of compassionate astonishment that
women with their quick and accurate con-
ception of character and prompt apprecia-
tion oe talented men, are themselves SO unde-
cided in judgment and superficial in the ac-
ant Of I'm aIre Rpt
wonder less if they reasoned more. Men
pride themselves on their reasoning pow
ers: why then do they not reconcile the par
adoxes they advance! 1t is generally ad-
mitted by candid and impartial men that wo-
men are naturally acute and clear in their
ideas, refined and enthusiastic in their i'm
aginations, and generous and benevolent in
heart that they bear the ills of life with
more enduring fortitude and have far less
selfshness in their dispositions than men.
Again, it is contended that women are def
cient in perseverance, profound thought and
capacity to reason or generalze. Sup
posing these objections to be true, (Which l
think cannot be satisfactorily proved,) on
which side of the argument lies the superb
ority! The natural deficiency offemales in
personal strength and masculine intrepidity,
plainly mark the direction their talents
should take, but without implying an inferi-
ority either in the pursuit, or the degree OF
mental vigor necessary in the prosecution OF
this pursuit. It certainly requires no small
share of energy and discernment to give
proper bend to the ductile minds of embyo
Philosophers, and not a little frmness OF
mind and delcacy of judgment, to bear with
the waywardness, and meiorate the asperi-
ties of such Philosophers when matured into
Fathers, Husbands and Brothers.

The brig William, which laid long time in
this port and was secretly fitted out as priva-
teer by some individuals Of this place, short
time since sailed clandcstinely and escaped thro
the Brazilian squadron, which was then stationed
in the Outer Roads to watch her movements
Immediately changing her name, assuming that
of In FELICIA, she fell upon the Brazilian COM
merce and is said to have taken number of
prizes; some of which have been recaptured by
the brazilian cruisers.
While we are threatened with war from with
out, il were to be wished that the greatest har-
mony and order should subsist within; and, cx-
cepting the particular case now under notice,
which for moment occupies the public mind,
the whole interior concerns of the Republic are
in state of profound tranquility. But it is to be
deplored that commoton has been recently eK-
/ cited in Tucuman, one ofthe remote Provinces,
which, although in itself it can be of no very Sc
rious importance, since single decisive step on
the part of the General Government will at once
quickly restore order and peace-will no doubt
be magnified abroad and only give cause of ex-
ultation to the enemies of Freedom. At home,
however, notwithstanding that the Congress have
been in secret session on the subject and the Ex-
ecutiye are about taking such measures as the
nature of the case may requirc-yet the event
occasions no great excitement or apprehension.
Such turbulent proceedings.in obscure and unlm-
portant sections may perhaps serve to render the
people the more watchful over their rights, and
will no doubt bring just punishment upon the
offenders rs-That is all. They certainly cannot
seriously affect the chord of union or the politi-
cal repose of the Nation: nor can they weaken
the energy or the measures of its Government
which are now demanded TO provide for the Ma
tional security against menacing and foreign
foe.
