Of his peculiar predictions for tho colored race,

yne Cuban Observation-Disclosures Expsdi-
ton.
Our columns supply the most ample and satishc-
sory intelligence with respect 10 the failure of the
invasion Of Cuba. The accounts are derived from
three sources-the invaders themselves, from the
Spanish authorizes and from d.nterested persons.
They all agree with each other, and establish, be-
yond the conjecture Of doubt the total failure of
The expedition. Thus this absurd and silly attempt
TO stimulate an ineurrecon, where the people have
shown that il was not desired has proved seri-
Gus sacrifice TO life, that must always be referred
70 as extremely criminal on the part OF those who
have been engaged in fAyoring it. The lesson is
hunihsting one but it is also one that may be
profitable TO our countymen.

not change the complexion of the government. The
plan has been lsng talked of, and we know not
what may be the result. Cuba may remain as il
lie; but IIayti seems destined TO undergo a change
This is very singular, when we consider that our
population have an ample field in California, and at

France and England. Probability OF War.
We gave a succinct account, yesterday, Of the
threatening position in which France and England

Beginning in Europe. The French Ambassador
has been uddenly recalled and left the metropolis
Of England. This has been done in manner cal
culsted to give the utmost sca to the transaction,
10 render 1t most conspicuous, and 10 throw the
utmost irritation into the whole affair. II was 80
managed, tha, he should leave England precpitste-
BY on q royal birthday, when all the Ambassadors
nom the other Courts of Europe were vending their
way to the palace, TO carry their feleitation, and
homage TO the throne. Lord Normandy, the British
Ambassador at Paris, had, on the other hand, not
quilted al the lasi dates, that metropolis All this

OF late, accustomed somewhat in diplomacy

familiar with them. In Spain, the English Ambas-
sadorwas suddenly and unccrcmoniously dismissed,

ccyed his walking papers in great hurry; but.
