ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS have
been expressed that Mexico may issue el-'
tiers Of marque to Spanish subjects in ca.
ba, to'cruise against the commerce Of the
United States, and that privateers may be
fitted out in the ports OF that island for
this netarious purpose. Indeed, il has
been suggested that the two Mexican
war steamers, which have been recently
transferred to Havana, have been sent
there with this object. We know that the
government of Spain would not sanction
such a proceeding; but it is not generally
known that Spanish subjects could not ac-
cept commission for that purpose from
the Mexican government without being
guilty of piracy. For public information,
we copy the l4lh arlicleof our treaty with
Spain of October 20, 1895, which article
is now in force:
ARTICLE IA. No subject of his catholic
majesty shall apply for or take, any com.
mission or letters of marque, for armlng
any ship or ships 10 actas plvateers against
the said United States, or against The c
zens, people, or inhabitants OF SAID United
States, or against the property Of any oil
the inhabitants of said United States, or
against the property of any Of them, from
any prince or state with which the said
United States shall be at war.
/" Nor shall any citizen, subject, or IN
habtant Of the said United States apply
for, or take, airy commission or ships to acc

ON Gov, Blows for refusing to act upon
Tho reqaIsil.on, or suggestion, Of Gen.
Gainea-~and this in the face of tho fact
that large number Of men have been got
IN readiness under his raquisiton, who

had, under Gen. Gaines'8 order, called four
or FIVE regiments Of volunteers from their

been a "damperon military ardor" indeed,
We observe that the Governor Of Tennes-
see took the same course as our Governor
--requca!ing volunteers TO enroll and hold
themselves in readiness. This was the
course dictated by wisdom, patriotic pru-
dence, and a regard to duty. Gen. Gaines

The Sentinel gives the following extract
Of letter from our patriotic representa-.
i've. Maj. DAVIS is graduate Of the
National Military Academy, and held rank
in the Regular Army for, we believe, Sc
ven or eight years. He is an accomplish
ed officer, brave man, and we learn from
the Sentinel, "is burning to leave the lux
urious halls Of Congress, and Join bis bre.
rhron on the Soldiers field of toll and glo-
ry.' The Mississippi Volunteers, if call.
ed to their county's standard, could not
select more competent or gallant leader.
Maj. Dlyis's alusion to the Oregon con.
troyersy is, as we take it, only an express
sion Of bis opinion, We say as much,
because a report is already current, grow
ing out of this, that Mr.. Davis had written
home that war with England is certain!
