IMroRrAsr CRUIsE.-THE AYMcAN Soy ADRox.-
We learn en- good authority, that the government
has ordered squadron of four vessels OF war to
sail in few days for the Coast Of Africa, and to
cruise on that ground for certain appointed time.
The vandala, Of ~ guns, now at Norfolk, com.
handed by Captain Ramsay, will head the squad.
ron-she is now preparing for the expedition under
the orders Of that gentleman. Three other vessels
will be added, and the whole placed under the
command Of Captain Ramsay.
We conceive that this expedition il Of most inn
portant character. The revival of the great ques-
ton Of the right Of search, has been caused by the
conduct of the British cruisers on the coast of
Airica-and in order to protect the rights and in-
erests of the United States, the expedition could
not have been placed in more competent hands.
Captain Ramsay (now Commodore, we suppose, by
naval usage) an officer Of great tact and address
very courteous, but very 6rm-brave, patriotic, and
well versed in the important questions that may
arise during the cruise. We presume the expedi-
ton is intended by our government, as an expert.
ment to test how far the Br ,sh cruisers, under the
authority Of the English government, and the
recent treaty with the great powers France backed
ou,) will dare to invade the rights Of an indepen-
dent flag under the hollow pretext Of suppressin
the slave trade. II the British flag attempts any
Unauthorized line of conduct, they will find that
Captain Ramsay and the gallant crews under his
command, know their country's rights, and know
ing will maintain them. b 7t
This expedition will probably bring to practical
issue, the important question of peace or war with
Engand-and in this aspect, the whole nation will
keep their eyes constantly on their movements in
the African seas The great powers of Europe will
soon have their eyes open to the ambition and spirit
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that character England
France has already detached herself from the treaty
in par,-and soon as Russia understands her true
position. she also will back out and leave the British
government with an empty parchment.
TIE WAR IN FLonDA.-We understand that the
war in Florida will be positively terminated next
month. There are only about one hundred Semi
neles afoat in these swamps-and the government
intendsto place military police in the territory
not an army.
QUICK TRIP OF THE CLARloH.-The steam bark
Clarion, with the ricsson propeller, arrived at ST.
Thomas, the LIST inst in nine days from this port.
This is very quick trip, and would have been per-
formed in two days less time had steam been used
all the way. ST. Thomas is about twenty four hun
dred miles hence, and this trip, therefore, speaks "a
vorably for the propeller.
The good people Of st. Thomas were greatly as
tonished on seeing the Clarion, full rugged vessel,
without smoke or paddles, running up, eight miles
an hour, through Sail Rock passage, with sails fur
ed and yards all braced.
BY the way, speaking Of the Clarion, the Ercs-
son propeller together with Hunter,i shortly to be
tested on an enlarged scale. There are now build
ing at the Philadelphia and Norfolk Navy Yards,
two splendid vessels of six hundred tons each-that
a. Philadelphia to be propelled by Ericsson's, and
that at Norfolk by Hunters submerged wheels.-
When these vessels are finished and tried it will be
known which is the best adapted for ocean steam
navigation We cannot tell till then, for Engineers
like Doctors, will disagree.
SPEED TO CHINA The Probus, the finest and
fastest chip ever in the China trade, will sail to-day,
for Canton. This clipper was built under the super
intendence Of Captain Sumner, her commander, at
the East. and the first voyage she made out and
home was performed in the almost incredible short
space Of eight months and fifteen days, including
the time Of discharging and re-loading at Macao!-
We believe this 10 be the quickest passage to the
Celestial Empire and back, on record, and indeed
it equals the speed Of the English steamships.
We speak of this merely to show to what per
lection naval architecture has reached in this coun-
Try. And il is not in speed only, but in beauty and
capacity for cargo also. For proof Of which our
numerous packet ships
