there would be strength and patriotism
enough in its Government TO suppress it

Authorities.
WASHINGTON, June 6p. N.

WASHINGTON, June 4-6 p. NJ.
Most exciting and important news has arrived
in Washington from Havana, which indicat
sHrivus difficulty with Spain, & probability Of
War.
The American Consul at Havana, Genera
Campbell, demanded of the Spanish authorities
the surrender of l05 American citizens, capture
at the Island of Controy, and brou ght into lIa
vana, charged with being engaged in the lnyad
ing Expedition, of Gen. Lopez.
The Captain General of Cuba refused to an
swer General Campbcll's demand for ten days.
General G. then directed Captain Randolph
to bring the Frigate Albany within the harbor.
The Capt. Gen. said he would fire on her ifshe
, entered. The American Consul then struck his
flag AMI sent an express to Mobile and Charles
ton, to telegraph to Washington for instructions,
On receipt of this despatch from Gen. Camp
bell, the Government at Washington gave orders
for the whole Gulf Squadron to rendezvous at
Havana, wiha peremptory command for tho sur
render OF the said prisoners
The Frigato Congress sailed with this order
on Friday last, and unless ample redress and
apologies are made, it is reported here, that war
wi Spain is expected within ten days.
| The prisoners taken at Controy were on neu-
trail grounds, and were actually taken measures
towards returning to The T. S.
| Official information has been received Of the
execution of four Americans at Cuba, and the
impression is generally entertained, of one or two
| hundred others.
The Spanish Authorities gave the commando
I OF our squadron permission to see the prisoners
and permit them TO be brought home for trial
! The Frigate Congress sailed from Savannah
to intercept Spanish vessel containing u mum
! Der prisoners taken on an Island near Yucatan

before he reaches Cuba.
Dispatches have been sent by this Government
to the Spanish authorities of Cuba that the ar.
rest of Americans on any other Island will not
be recognized or permitted o.
These dispatches were sent from here TO No
! bile, this morning by Telegraph.
1t Is reported that two vessels with reinforce
| menis for Gen. Lopez, which were Commissioned
to land at different points, are still at sea Their
! fate is unknown. 1t is said that in the event OF
the vessels being captured by the Spanish craft

ated below, prescribed in the law, to be pro-
pounded 10 heads of families. Farmers have
frequent occasion to be absent from their homes,
and j. would be well if their families were so
informed upon the subject as to be able to fur
ni.h the information called for, readily. Itwould
be well i! each farmer would prepare and leave
with his family written schedule or memoran-
DUN which WoaId furnish reply to all the ques-

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.-The Sntab-
bIs.-The withdrawal of the French Minister
produced sensible effect on the Funds, but they
have recovered, and the belief was generally en-
tertained that the government on the part of
France, was a mere ruSe on the part of the Mi
nIStry, to enable them to carry the new electoral
law.
Circulation has'been given to a most insulting
note from Russia, addressed to Lord Palmerston.
condemning, in strong terms, the policy of the
English Government in relation to the Greek
question. The conclusion is as follows: Gas
the manner in which Lord Palmerston undertook
the protection due to England's subjects, in TO-
reign countries, carries with it so much incon-
yenlence, Russia and Austria will not henceforth
grant liberty of residence to English subjects,
except on condition their renouncine the pro-
lection of their own Government.
Under date of Paris, the London Times in
allusion TO the difficulty with England, SAYS that
Lord Palmerston's offer of compromise has been
rejected by the French Government, and that the
Cabinet Council and the President of the Re-
public declare that the acceptance of any other
con lition than the pure and simple execution Of
the Convention of London, was not consistent
with the dignity Of France, and to none other
would they consent. The French Ministry
unanimously approved of the conditions, and ex-
pressed their intention to adhere to and adopt
them.
PRUssIA.-An attempt at assassination of the
King of Prussia has created great sensation

Potsdam, by a sergeant of artillery, who fired
pistol at his Majesty, and inflicted a serious
