The Neutral Ground Of Letters.

We could nowhere find striking illustration o.
the fact that science and literature afford TO of all
possible diversity of opinion common ground where
they unite and tremendously act in concert in pro-
motion of cause happily consistent with the views OF
ALL than in the two following letters. The first is ad
dressed BY NJ Lanartne, the distinguished head of the
late provisional government in the new republic Of
France to M. Vaemare, and expresses the writers
high appreciation of the value of the system of intena
tona exchanges, tending to equaze the intellectual
treasures of the civilized world The second letter
transmitted through NJ Vatemare, to the corresponding
secretary of the National Institute from M Blanqui, the
leader of the radical party France and the avowed and
open enemy OF NJ. Lamarine and his party They both
breathe the same liberal spirit the ardent desire foi
the universal diffusion of knowledge, and the promotion
of an intellectual union among all the civilized nations OF
the globe

LECTURES-NEWC0.

Casslus NJ. Clay was TO deliver lecture in Bal
lmore last evening. Subject, ' Mexico. - True
Sun, 1st inst.
We hope the gallant Captain did the subject
more justice, than it received at the hands of the
gentlemen who lectured upon it in the Hall of Re-
PresenaIves, in this place. on Friday evening last.
Ii the military lecturer was no better prepared to
discuss the matter, than the Reverend one, we
trust that sudden but SFigM indsposition, a head
ACHE tooth-ache, sore-throat or cold. fortunately
lnterposed TO save IN innocent audience from such
a tissue OF trashy, disconnected, and dull newspa-
per detail as was inflicted upon the unoffending
community of this place last week.
The English iteratj charged with enter
taIninS the opinion. that 'anything'' is good
enough to suit the literary taste of America
And some persons from the east Of the Mssissp-
pi seem TO entertain similar idea in relation to
Inc poor, benIghted people of this portion of the
Union. which is unfortunately 50 near to sun
down. The Reverend gentleman appears to be
one of these, but he is slightly in error in the
matter--we are not quite deeply immersed in
ignorance as might be supposed. Several of our
citizens read quite readily; and we are credby
informed, that one or two can actually write their
names. There is even tradition amongst us.
that some of our people - long ago. did positive
iy cross TO the east bank of the Great River and
there did really, and truly see town or two, and
three or four villages. The Lecturer was pro-
baby, not aware of these facts. or surely he
would not have favored us with n lecture in the
style of the one alluded TO; in which he relailed
the stale war news as contained in the New Or
leans papers since the commencement of hostIi-
ties, anc gave - a graphic description of Mexico
Just abont as correct as Locke's famous geogra-
ply of the moon.
The Rev. Gentleman may be n very good
preacher, but he is, ia our humble Judgment, an
Indifferent lecturer, in all respects, save finished
eocution poor philosopher, and worse poIil-
clan. Had he confined himself to religious, mo-
raj, literary, or scientific subjects, we should have
spared our readers these remarks, which, even
now. we make reluctantly, but having travelled
out of his legitimate sphere and entered the po-
Iltical arcna-and above all, upon a subject so in.
tenseiy exciting as the Mexican War, his cloth no
longer protects him from criticism, or censure.

Havana.

BY the arrivals at Ship Island OF the British steam
et Trent, on Friday last, from Havana, the 4ih in
slant, we have received the Faro Industrial OF
mat port, TO the day Of her departure.
ihere Is little OF interest, Of a local nature, in
that journal.
lUcArEco ISDLANs.-TheIe is an item of intel
hgence IN the Faro Of the 81 instant which an
nOunees remarkable innovation in Soanisb colo
NAL policy. For some time past, numbers Of In
dams from Nueatan have sought refuge IN Cuba
from the evils 10 which their country has been 40
long a prey, through civil war. Accustomed 10
labor in the fields in the peninsula, in a climate
nearly the same as that OF Cuba, active robust
and intelligent, the Government has Just struck
on the idea that they might be advanIageously en-
plOyed on the plantations, instead Of or in con-
euTfeRce with, the African or Asiatie race To
whom the cultivation Of the products Of the Island
is now exclusively confined. The Faro saws that
they would be preferable 10 either. Acting under
this impression, the Royal Junta Of Industry has
authorized the Importation Of I 40 laboreIs from
Yueatan-6uO single men, and 3OO married eou-
pies. Their passage will be paid; and on their ar
rival they will be distributed among the planters,
for a small monthly stipend, with food and clO-
thing. This is a new feature in the system of free
cultivation, OF which the COolie immigration into
the British West India Islands was the precursor.
News had reached Havana, from Merida and
Campeaehy, the former 10 the Ilth, and the latter
10 the l4th ut, tive have had later here announ-
cling the Indian Instruction as nearly terminated
The insurgents are without leaders, Pat having
disappeared, and Chi being disabled BY wounds
received in action, and are principally confined 10
the Sierra, or chain OF mountains, where the peo-
pie are very few, and seatteredsove large extent
OF country. Their largest force is not more than
from lUD 10 l5OO men, and they are holly pursued
by Gen. LleIgo and Col. Zetina. The war Is virtn-
ally al an end.-N o. Com. Times, liza.
