unity enough to exculpate the Administrations
from any blame in the affair Oft he bIoodho unds
by simply telling the truth. The N. Y. Even

The Secretary at War has been called on

wnich so deeply affects the character Of the Nd
ZION and he declares that he knows nothing a.
bont II. il seems that the citizens of Middle
iorida nave imported thirty or forty of these
dogs from Cuba. for their own use, and for the
protection Of their detached dwellings, from the
lurking incendiaries scattered in small parties
over the country. We cannot see any greater
inhumaniiy in employing this kind OF dog for
protection. than of masriff or bulldogs. or stag
hounds. But the blood hound. from his pecu

the regular troops may not take advantage OF
their sagacity, as the British did in the Maroon

- Florida is nearly laid waste by the Indians
they burn every dwelling. and massacre every

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WEST.

FOURTEEN DAYS LATER.

tOuhlEEN DAYS LATER.
The Great Western arrived at New York
on Sunday morning last, 18 days from Bris.
tol, bringing Liverpool papers to the 18th
ult.
Orders have been issued by the British
Government for making reprsals upon Chi
nese commerce. Active preparations are
making for prosecuting the war against
China both by sea and land.
Sir Robert Peel suggested that, in case
oil captures being made, the ships should for
the present be detained, and not forthwith
adjudlcated upon; and then inquired if the
reprsaIs were to extend to all Chinese YES
sells, in whatever seas they might be met
with
Lord Palmerston answered that question
in the affirmative; and added that prizes
would be retained, till it should be ascer-
tained whether the Chinese government
were disposed to make reparaton.
TO another inquiry by Sir Robert Peel
Lord John Russell replied, that in the ex-
isting state of his information from China,
he should not advise Royal message to
the House on the subject.

Act of the Canadian Legislature which in

he carried his motion by a majority of IL.
The Belgian ministry has been disband-
ed. This event, though unforeseen, produ-
ced little effect.
An English vessel, contrary to orders,
passed the Rogue, signed the Opium Bond,

TIPPEcANoE PAPERs.-New whig paper,
are springing up on every hand. We have
received the following: "Tbe Log Cabin,
published simultaneously in New York ant
Albany, by II. Greely g. Co. The mum.
ber before us contains on the first page
likeness of Gen. Harrison; and on The
last, the music to the log cabin song. The
name of the editor is sufficient guaranty
that it will be well conducted. Price, 80
cents for six months. "The North Bend,
is publish ed at Sandusky City by the Tip
pecanoe Club; and Judging from the first
No., and frolu the amount of talent their
Club embraces, we doubt not that it will
prove an able and efficient supporter of the
Old Farmer. Price, 81 for 90 numbers
"The Calumet aud Wa Club" from Spring
field. We hope the Club will have wide
and be welded with good ef-
feet. The Axe is published at Cleveland by
]. B. Harris. 1t possesses the right kind
of metal and we doubt not the locos will
find it well tempered. Price, so cents for
6 months.
Last, though not least, comes "The
Out Harrisonian" from Columbus,
with Gen'l James Allen at its mast head;
and if the General don't straighten out the
crooked stories and ways of the Vanites,
we are no prophet,
The above is but small and incomplete
list of the new whig papers which have
been started within a few weeks; but it is
sufficient to show the spirit which is ava

success.
