THE AFRICAN SQUADRON. learn that Francis
II. Gregory, Esq, has been appointed to the com
mand Of thus squadron. The Commodore will sail
for his destination in about two weeks, and raise
his broad pennsnt board OF the flag ship Ports
mouth, on his arrival out, relieving Commodore
Cooper, who is laying i'll at Madeira.
The squadron consists Of ships Portsmouth,
John Adams, and Yorktown; aud briggs cambridge
and Porpoise.
The African station, as our readers are aware,
embraces the piratical waters, from whence a
large portion of the slaves brought into the
South American market are taken. This station
Is guarded by an English fleet as well as by ours.
Thus far the English cruizers have captured most
Of the prizes, they having steamer or two on the
station. Those who are at all acquainted with
the character Of Francis II. Gregory, will readily
imagine, if there is piracal SLAYER to be had, he
will find her out. We look for sharp work on the
arrival out Of this gentleman, who, we learn, Is to
be accompanied out by Captain Peck, as his flag
officer.
We also learn that il is probable the government
will shortly add one Of our steamers 20 the feet
in order that it shall, in all respects, be equal in
speed as well, as force, to that under the British
flag. We commend the commodore and his friend
TO the officers Of the station. We, Of New York,
have long known both OF them, as connected, at
various periods, with commands here The State
Of Old Connecticut has bat few officers IN the
service, and she may well be proud Of these, for
they are sailors Of the old-fashioned stamp, and
were heard Of Jurng the war Of 1872.

General TAYLOR left tic seat of govern
mcnt OH the 9th, inst, for Pennsylvania,
where he met his friends in York, pittsburp,
Harrisburg, etc and is to proceed to the East,
returning to pass through the cities Of New
York and Philadelphia. That he will be re-
ceived respectfully and sustained Hospitality
cannot be doubted. Respect for the dstn-
guislicd station which he holds, and gratitude
for his eminent services during the Mexican
war arc passports to the kind consideration
OF the people. But Gen. Taylor will find i,
difficult to explain to them why he has chan
ged his policy, and become President of the
whIg party when his solemn pledges to the
people before the election induced many to
vote for him OH guarantee of his pursuing
direct contrary course, and when, i'm fact.
contrary course would have strengthened
his position and made his administration pop
ular That General Taylor's power and in
hucncc have hcen used TO patch up the bat
tered garments Of the Wing Party in hopes
that it may be endured and sustained is abun-
dainty evident, but the old General will soon
find out that he has bcen used for objects
which he did not originally contemplate, that
he has got into the hands of his enemies (hc
Cormin Mcrican's,) is very evident and that
he will soon find it necessary to cytri,a,e
himself from this dilemma there can be no
reasonable doubt.

The Progress ofCho,era.

Ihe dreadful ravagcs of the epidemic in
et' LOUIS and Cincinnati, two cities most Sc
rlously visited, we are happy to state, have
oeeh arrested. In several cities on the great
Lakes 1t has appeared with violence. 1t is
la'her on the decrease in New York and very
l''''c OF 1t is seen in the New England States.
mus Tar South Carolina has been much ia.
vorctl, and New Orleans, once the seat of its
devastation, is at present remarkably healthy.
When the favorable season sets in and the
disease shall have disappeared, when panic
is abatcd and confidence restored, we shall
know no more of Asiatic cholera, it's oriuin
ana cure, than we have heretofore The
Medical Faculty know nothing of lis origin
and have no decisive and uniform method of
curing it; it baflcs skill and bids defiance to
science. One thing, however, appears to be
certain, local causes add to its extension, or

have had potent influence both in st Louis
and Cincinnati. In Philadelphia, where the
sanltory regulations are of the best character,

the vast and mixed population OF New York
1t has been principally confined to the most
destitute class, and what is the more remark

The Fail Elections.

The confederacics at the North on frcc-soil
and against Southern Institutions have at
length aroused the South and West to the
necessity OF Union. The signs of the recent
elections, though not fully demonstrated, are
yet pregnant with meaning. There have not
been many changes in North Carolina, but
the wings elected in that State are dctcrmn-
cd to vote with the South on all questions
touching Southern Rights. The changes in
Tennessee have been decided, and the abol-
uonIsts in Kentucky have met with severe
rcvcrses. The extraordinary change of opin-
ion i'll Col. Benton, Mr.. Van Buren, and their
friends evidently from personal consitcra-
tons, arc awakening the attention of the
saveholding states to their apostacics, and
the ballot boxes arc giving the true evidence
OF popular feeling. The South and West on
constitutional rights are consolidating and will
present, we trust, front in the next Con-
grcss which will arrest the progress of aboli-
ton anu check legislation on assumed powers.
We could have wished that the results of the
election had been more full, direct and over
whclming, but the stand is taken, the rcdoubts
thrown up, the South and West will not
reccde and every day will strengthen our po-
sItion in defence of our constitutional rights.
CUBA CoNsrIEACY.-Thc President has
issued his proclamation warning citizens
against cmbarking in an armed expedition,
deilered to be aimed against Cuba. Rather
late i'll the day however, and rather indcfn-
ltely pointed, perhaps Loriewe can say whc,h-
or SANTA ANNA has any thing to do with it,
or lITLEY whether Jamaica is to be the seat
OF war. We are afraid that President Tay
Tor has got hold OF but one OF the many cxpc-
d'tlons now on foot throughout the Union.-
