THE REcoRD.--We have only one observation to
make in reference to General Jdckson's Letter,
which is upon that part of it wherein the General
says that the record, in regard to the trial OF the
Militia-men, either is or ought to be on the file in
the Department of War. The fact, we believe, has
been ascertaned, that the record OF the trial is not
in the Department of War, and the friends Of Gen
JACKSON know that it is not. They perhaps do not
know what we now state--that the record was trans
mitted to the War Department at the time but was
returned by order of the then President (who pro-
badly did not much like the complexion of it, to the
State of Tennessee and we believe to the Governor
of the State, under whose order the draft Of the
Militia was made. Mr.. Madison is one who, we
have good authority for saying, could not look on
blood and carnage with composure," and who could
not, of course, approve of this slaughter, IN cold
blood, Of militia men, whose only crime, at the
worst, was mistake of their duty lie therefore,
probably declined placing among the national ar
chives the record OF these proceedings. Certain
it is, that they returned to Tennessee, and are
in possession Of the friends Of Gen. Jackson though
possibly unknown to him. .'A Mtd.

From the London Morning Herald ofJan. Is.
There is a ruInor afoat in the city, that a
small naval armament is about 10 proceed 10 the
West Indies /, will consist, il is said, Of five
sail of the line, one so gun ship, and two iri-
gates. The squadron is to be composed OF
detachment from the ships now in the Iagus,
and il will be under the command OF Sir lhos.
Hardy. The object Of the expedition, ii is said,
will be the blockading Of the Havana, for the
purpose Of cutting off the last resources OF the
beloved Ferdinand. Ii is added, that the ships
will carry out no troops, and that none will be
at any time suffered to land in the Island, unless
solicited by the inhabitants. We suspect, how
ever, that the report of such proceeding on
the part Of our Government, rests upon no 9TH
er foundation than its probability, and to this
we have more than once called the attention
Of the public. 1t is most important TO England e
the u. s. that Cuba should not be in the posses
sion Of any great power. In the opinion OF the
most Of the North Americans in London, a
Convention has been for some time entered in
10 between our Government and that OF the
United States, by which it is stipulated that,
as long as the two countries remain at peace,
neither shall take possession Of the Island OF
Cuba. The immense importance OF this place
70 the United States, and to our trade with ia
maica, may be instantly ascertained by an in
spectioI of the map. Take away the trade
winds, and i, would be OF no consequence; out
with the trade winds, England, it she held the
Havana, would command the mouth OF the
Mississippi. On the contrary, 1t the United
States was in possession Of it would have the
power to destroy our trade with Jamaica.
