 FRoM HAvANA-INsuRREcT1oN OF THE NE i GRoEs. The Picayune of the 27th ut. con- tains news from Havana of considerable
 importance. It was brought by the Ala bama and on the day previous to her sail ing intelligence reached Havana, bringing the mela ncholy intelligence of another in- surreetion among the negroes on the S""'h side of the iSla nd, i1 tho Immediate vicinity of St. Jono be Cuba. The plot appears to have been much more extensive and deeply organized than the outbreak at Cardinas, some five or six weeks ago, aud much more desperate and bloody in it's execution. A
 large number of planters. with their over
 seers and families, were the hapless victims
 of the infuriate blacks: considerable prop erty was also destroyed. From the astoun- 1
 as we'll as the extent of the plot of the iEsu.-
 gents, the Admiral of the port, Gen. Ulloa,
 immediately despatched a man of war steam
 CT to the scene of riot, and orders were also
 given for a frigate, two brigs of war, and an
 other steamer to follow with troops, with.
 out delay. Gen. UIloa was going in con-
 mand of the expedition.
 SEIZURE OF THE SANDWICH IsLANDs.-The
 seizure of the Sandwich Islands by the
 British, under the pretence of injuries done
 by the government of those islands to Brit.
 ish subject, cannot fail to be regarded all o.
 yer the civilized world, as one of the great 1 est outrages ever committed by any nation in modern times. Nor can we believe the other great maritime nations will allow Great Britain to retain the possession of what she has so unjuslly seized. To the
 United States in particular, the independence of the Sandwich Islands is of paramount importance; forming as they do the chief place of rendezvous for American whal' ships, and affording also profitable market for many descriptions of American manufac- lures. The number of Americans residing on the islands, for commercial purposes is quite large; two hundred American vessels arrive there annually; and when the canal across the isthmus of Darien shall be com pleted, the business between the two coun- tries destined to be of very great importance. The proximity of the Sandwich Islands to our Oregon Territory, (the distance between them being easily overcome with the trade wind) also renders their falling into the hands of the British an extremely unfortu- nate occurrence. For in case of any future collision with Great Britain relative to the right of possession to Oregon, British fleet could easily make descent upon it from the Sandwich Islands, long before our ships could be despatched to anticipate their movements.
 l It is therefore evidently of the first neces- 1 sity, that our government should immediate | ly take measures to prevent the British from
 obtaining permanent possession of the Sand
 wich Islands, and to enable the government of those islands to eject their unwelcome
 visitors with the least possible delay, France
 and Russia may certainly be expected to 1 cooperate with the United States in this mat
 ter, since to them the occupation ofthe Sand-
 wich Islands by the British must be as inju-
 rious as it is to ourselves. Let our govern 1 ment then move immediately. and with ener-
 gy in relation to this last fragrant outrage of
 Great Britain; and so move as to teach the 1 selfvaun:ed mistress of the seas that there is at least one nation in the world who will not recognize her title to that distinction, nor suffer her to trample with impunity upon the rights of independent nations, more especi- ally when by so doing she infringes upon the rights of the whole commercial world. Within the last six months the increase of 1 British power has been fearfully rapid. It
 has obtained foothold in China, added the rich and extensive country of Scin de to the Anglo Indian empire. and now hosts its ! flag on the choicest islands in the Pacific.- The further advance of this power must be checked, or their can be no security to the rest of the civilized world.-Troy Whig.
 We mentioned last week, that the body of l a woman had been found cast ashore at
 Westport, Connecticut; and that it was sup. posed to be the body of Mrs. Williams, who had disappeared from on board one of the Sound steamboats, being in state of men. tai derangemert. It is now supposed, how ever, that the deceased was French lady calling herself Madame Durand. who obtain cd an interview with the French Consul Gen. eral in this city some weeks ago, soliciting his assistance in obtaining for her situation as teacher. She said that Durand was not her real name-that she belonged to one of the first families in France, but had lost her for tune and came to this country because she would rather work abroad for living than at home. The Consul General and the Ed. itor ot the French paper published here, promised to do what they could for her, but desired her to obtain letters from France in verification of her statement and the latter inserted for her in his journal an advertise ment asking employment as teacher but without immediate success.
 The lady avowed her intention to commit
