CONDITION AND PRosrEcTs OF CuBA-By every
arrival from Cuba we learn that the authorities are
under continual alarm aud constant fesr Of another
invasion Of that island, by armed hands from the
United States. Accordingly, the army is kept ia
readiness for immediate service; and large fleet
is ever on the watch, ready to capture and destroy
any expedition that may approach the island
with hostile motives. A perfect espionage like
vie exists there; and all who are suspected of
being connected with parties in the United States
in designs to create revelation, are arrested and
put in prison. Within a short time, Don Papillio
Valisnte, wealthy merchant and native Of 81.
Jseo, Den Louis olloa. native Of old Spain, aud
Don Tomas Blanco, native Of Cuba. have all
been arrested and confined in Moro Castle, on
suspicion Of being connected with people in the
United States, who are Determined to produce a
revolution in Cuba, II possible.
We look upon ell this alarm and anxiety and
preparations az entirely unnecessary, and az en-.
failing expense and trouble to no purpose. The
people of the United States are willing that Spain
shall hold Cuba as long as she peases, or as long
ne she can. They would object, however, to her
transferring her sovereignty over il to any other
European power. II lie 30 situated that they would
never consent that France or England, or any other
great neton OF tne oio Wond, thoutd hoid W. As
for snother expedition being fitted out in the United
States, IL Is ell noonshine. Those who 60 gal
lsnily ran away from Cardenss last spring, could
not be entioed by any inducement that might be
ofetd TO them TO risk their precious lives in tt-
tempting a second time to effect a revolution in
Cuba. In regard to the rumors and reports Of ex-
reditions in the United States. we are perfectly
satisfied they are without foundation, and got up
by some Obscure journals for the purpose Of attract
ipe attention and making a sensation. The pre-
sent administration will, doubt, take care that
our treaty obligations with Spain and the law Of
nations shall be respected, a. far as their power
extends. That IL has ample means to prevent the
sailing Of another expedition one will question
Cuba may, one OF these daye, viii form part of
the United States but II will never be wrested by
rs from Spain, or annexed In any manner that
Spain could complain o.

Summary OF the Latest News.

The mtel gence which we received by tele-
grsph, last evening, is painfully interesting II will
be seen, by the dispatches published IN another
column, that tornado has recently visited Cape
Girardeau, on the Mississippi, which destroyed
several houses and occasioned great loss of life
among the inhs bitsnts, several of whom are stated
as having been killed Seventy or eighty houses
are reported as demolished.
We also hear OF the loss, by fire, of the steam
boat Columbus, at the mouth Of the Potomac, by
which nine persons, or more, los, their lives; and
that three steamboats, were snsgged on the Mis-
sssippi, and two more burned at Natchez Ii is
but rsrey we hear of such great loss as this, at
one tine.
Gen. Hamilton, it appears, has addressed let
ter to the people Of South Carolina, in reference to
the great question Of the day. viz the slavery ag-
taiion. He counsels them not TO move one way or
the other at present, but TO bide their time-that
peactfol or bloody triumph is at hand, and he
Knows they are prepared for either The General
is on his vsy 10 Texas. The Governor of South
Carolina recommends in his message the removal
Of all free cooTed persons who do not own real
tsrate or slave property, from the limits of this
State.
The question will soon he decided whether a
Governor Of one State can be arrested under a re-
QUESTION from the Executive of another State. A
warrant for the arrest Of Gen. QuItmlp, Governor
al Mississippi, has been received in hatcher, 10
consequence Of his alleged participation in the
Cuban invasion, and IL viii he interesting TO see
what action will he taken under il. This is The
hrst time, we believe, that warrant has been
issued against Governor by State, under such
ciIl umstaBces.

eminently the policy Of North Carolina
to connect her harbor of Beaufort with
the interior Of herown, and with the ad.

surely as sit in my chair, that new

commercial history ofthis country. Lines
Of steam and packet ships viii be estab-
