Proclamation by the President.

There is reason to believe that an armed ex.
petition is about to be called out in the United
States, with an intention to invade the island
of Cuba or some of the provinces of Mexico
The best information which the Executive has
been able to obtain points to the island Of Cub
as the object of this expedition. 1t is the duty
OF this Government to observe the faith OF
treaties, and to preventany aggression by our
citizens upon the territories of friendly nations.
l have, therefore, thought it necessary and pro.
per to issue this proclamation, to warn all citi-
zens in the United States, who shall connect
themselves with an enterprise so grossly in
violation of our laws and our treaty obligations,
that they will thereby subject themselves to
heavy penalties, pronounced against them by
our acts of Congress, and will forfeit their
claim to the protection of their country. No
such persons must expect the interference of
this Government in any form in their behalf, no
matter to what extremities they may be reduced
in consequence of their conduct and enter
prise.
To invade the territories of a friendly nation,
a project, set on foot and prosecuted within the
limits Of the United States, is in the highest
degree criminal, as tending to endanger the
peace and compromise the honor of this nation;
and therefore all good citizens, as they regard
our national regulations; as they respect their
own laws and the laws of nations; as they value
the blessings of peace and the welfare Of their
country, will discountenance and prevent, by all
lawful means, any such enterprise. / therefore
call upon every officer of this Government, civil
or military,t TO use all efforts in his power to
arrest for trial and punishment every such
offender against the laws providing for the per-
Torrance of our sacred obligations to friendly
powers.
Given under my hand the 18th day of Au-
r, gust, A. D. lS4e, and of the independence
L" p of the United States of America the
seventy fourth.
By the President: z. TAYLOR.
JOHN NJ. CLAYTON, Secretary of State.

New system OF MUsIc.-It is said that q
new system of musical notation has been in
vented by a German professor, which has crea-
ted no little sensation among the musical pro-
fession of that city. By the simplest method
in the world it sweeps away all the complex
tiles Of the present system, and makes music an
A B c sort of an affair. Several of the most
eminent musicians in New York have, it is said,
examined and approved it. 1t has just been
patented at Washington, and the French Gov
eminent have also offered a patent.

Kendall on Removals,

The following letter from Amos Kendall, once
chief of the Kitchen Cabinet" presents some
considerations for the grumbling Democracy
which they should be called upon to digest once
a week.
FRANKLIN MILLS, (Ohio) Sept. 9, 80.
"To reform measures, there must be a change
of men," Without a change of men, fraud
cannot be punished; delinquences cannot be
detected; unlawful allowance cannot be stop
ped; improper modes of doing business, and
irregular practice in Office, can never be correct
ed. Do not all offices belong to the people,
What rights have the incumbents to the Offices
more than others! No wrong is done the man
who is removed, for he is deprived of no right.
It is the duty of the President, and all others to
whom the people have entrusted the power, to
remove their subordinates whenever they believe
the public interest requires it. So fascinating
is power, and SO corrupting the long possessions
of Office, that | believe the chances for a pure
Administration would be much greater, where a
limit of eight or ten years prescribed, beyond
which no man should be competent to hold
any of the subordinate offices at Washington.
1t is the policy of the office holder to create an
impression that their offices are private rights;
that they are wronged when removed; that they
have a right to demand the reasons for their
removal and have them formally set FORTH
When the people assent to a doctrine like this,
you may bid farewell to all hepe of reform,
however great may be the abuse of our Gov
eminent. We shall have Clerks, Auditors,
Comptrollers, Registers, Treasures and Secre-
taries for life; bad customs will never be cor
rected; erroneous principles will prevail forever;
precedent will take the place Of laws; the official
corps at Washington will govern the Union;
and if we do not have Presidents for life, we
shall have entailed upon us forever a succession
from one office to another, preserving the
unity of the official phalanx, and perpetuating
all their opinions and abuses. In my opinion,
the people have more cause to fear too few re-
movals than too macy.

GUIZoT IN FRANcE.-The ex-Minister of the
ex-King of the French, Louis Philippe, landed
at Havre on the 18th ult. from Southampton,
by the steamer Express, on his way to his pro-
perty at Lisieux. He was received on landing

bacco contractor under the late Government
He was assailed, on landing, by the hootings
and hissings Of the whole population, although
Havre is far from being what is termed repub-
lican in feeling.

The FAR WEsT.-A letter from Fort Laramie,
dated July 18th, in the ST. Louis Republican, says
that there have been much sickness aud suffering a.
mong the emigrants their way to California a
cross the plains. The sickness has been mostly
confined 10 the Western emgrants, those from The
Eastern States having suffered very little. The
writer says
Five thousand five hundred wagons have passed
averaging three and half souls per wagon; and the
number of deaths from The Missouri river to this
point about one and half per mile, which is below
the MAJ k,
Scores of graves have been passed which have nc
indemnity placed over their remains and have moi
been enumerated in any catalogue. The graves
that saw had been dug up by the wolves, the bod
les dragged TO the surface aud the limbs and frag
menis scattered all around From this place west
the sickness did not follow the trains so far as hear
from.
At this point and for some distance back hundreds
OF wagons have been burned, and tons of provision:
thrown awsy,the owners packing the rest of the
road. IL is fact of dear bought experience, thai
this is the only sensible way Of going to California
and the next sensible idea is, that men are so fool
lsh as to bring wagons, be sure and haul them witt
oxen. Unless for families. there is no use for wac
ons. Only about one hundred families have crossed
the plains this season.
