THE CTBl AFFAIR.

The following despatch to the Buffalo pa
pers places before the public in more intel
Iigible manner the facts relative to the break
ing up of the expedition:
The \. Y. correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer states that Gen. Lopez after he
landed at Savannah, telegraphed Immediately
to this city for men and ammunition.
The Herald has the following from Wash
ington: The Spanish Minister, Caldero de lie
Barca, has received telegraphic despatch
from the Spanish Consul at Savannah, stating
that Lopez with 500 men after taking one
town in Cuba and finding no reinforcements,
and but strong Spanish force marching a
gainst them, re-embarked in the Creole, and
proceeded to Key West, from which place To-
PEI and a few days others proceeded in the
regular steamer to Savannah where they arri-
we'd yesterday.
The Evening Express has the following
from Washington to-day: The steamer Gre
ole srrived at Key West on the 2Ist, having
on board coo men. She was chased by the
Spanish steamer PizaTro. left n. o. on the
lth, with a barque and bTIg, the three hav-
ing coo men and arms and ammunition. After
getting to sea the men were shipped on the
Creole of Yucatan, and steered to Gardens
which they reached Oh the 18th. They took
nine prisoners after battle in which 80 Span
ish troops and 80 inhabitants were killed
After this the Creole put OF and came to Key
West.
On her arrival the Collector sent an officer
on board and seized her fer violating the laws
Of the United States. The men are now at
Key West and a naval force is asked to pre-
vent further outrage from them.
Gen. Lopez was there at date of the des-
patch.
The Capt. Of the Pizarro states that he cap
tured the barque and big accompanying the
Creole, and :ook from them letters and com
municatiOns containing full plans Of the ezpe-
dition.

PRESIDENT TAYLOR.

It is truly gratifying to the friends of the pres
ent Administration, to witness the straight for
ward unwayering course of President Taylor
Afeursents were used by some of his oppo-
ncnts 10 show that his predjudices would lead
him to favor southern principles, and yield to
much 70 satisfy the north. Others thought he
would rely too much on his cabinet for advice
ard n9t be sufficiently decisive in his own
views. All these cavilers however have been
fofced to admit that he is the same fearless
unflinching, straight forward man that he was
represented to be by his friends, previous to
the election. He is by no means hasty in
conclusions and Recommendations. His plans
foF administering the government are made
with the same calm deliberation that has ever
characterized him of the field Of battle, and
antid ali the yitupeTations and thunderbolts Of
his political enemies, he maintains the same
cool, undis.urbed quiet that he did during the
battles Of Bnena Vista and Cherubusco.
Nothing that could tend to render his ad-
Manifestation unpopular, has beenneglected by
his opponents, and in every instance where
these attempts have been made, mas he shown
himself the man Of decision--unyielding hon
esfy. Several Resolutions have been introdu-
duced in Congress calling upon the President
for information upon subjects which his revi-
/ lers supposed him unwilling to give, but II
every case has he answered with a prompt
precision, quite different from that which has
characterized his political opponents when cal
/ led upon in a similar way. He - emfatically
the man for the times. The straight forward
uncavi5ng patriot, and if the Wing party aid
/ him 10 carrying out his views and wishes
his administration will terminate as it ha:
commenced, the most popular one for a long
period If time.

An APPROPRIATION FOR PoTosI.-In the Uni
ted States Senate, on the 23d ult., Mr. DODGE
Of Wisconsin in pursuance Of notice, asked
and obtained leave 10 introduce bill to amend
an act entitled, IAN act granting a section Of
land for the improvement Of Grant River, q.
the town of Potosi III the State of Wisconsin,"
which was read a first and second time by its
tile, and referred to the committee on COM
merce.
OF the nature Of this amendment we are not
advised, but presume it relates to an addition
al grant Of land in favor Of Potosi Harbor.-
Should a General Appropriation Bill, for the
improvement Of Rivers and Harbors, be pass
ed during the present session, this appropria-
ton Will undoubtedly be included. But we
do not fatter ourselves that anything of the
kind of so beneficial character to the COM
mon interests Of the country, viii be even
thought Of The accursed subject of slavery
has already occupied nearly SIX months Of the
session,and will probably consume the remain

ed Council Among other committees,
one on pardons is appointed Before this
committee the applicants for pardon or
Communication Of punishments are obliged
to appear by their counsel, and arguments
are heard. This committee report their
decisions to the Governor in Council and
they are almost always accepted, or at
least, form the basis Of their subsequent
action.

DEATHS IL New YoRK-By the annu-

that the number of deaths in the city last
year was 23.776, Of these, 5,O7l were by
cholera, and 2,OS6 by consumption
These diseases claimed the greatest mum
Der of victims. The mortality Of our city
appears to be yearly on the increase, but
not among the native population, for more
than two-thirds of those who died by chol-
era, were foreigners, Ireland furnishing

SCARCITY OF PRoDUcE.-The following par
agraph, which we copy from the st. Louis
republican Of the 18th instant, is Of material
interest to our Farmers and Produce Deal
ers:
"a hotel keeper at Independence, Mo. wri-
ting to a Commission Merchant of this city,
under date ofthe 9th inst, says For Gods
sake, send me fifty barrels of flour, some ba-
con, potatoes, and tw o hundred and fifty bush
els of corn, for assure you that these things
are not to be had here The country border
ing on the Missouri and Upper Mississippi
rivers, is certainly very bare of produce, and
the Illinois will be looked to for supplies
This is the only channel through which they
can now come. Chicago and the Lakes mus,
make up the deficit, and no small one at
that
Chicago and the Lakes have not the
where withal to make up this deficit" The
Chicago market is already nearly bare of pro
duce. The stock of Wheat and flour in Mil
waukee is rapidly diminishing. Fromall the
Lake ports, there is a drain which must soon
exhaust the supplies. We shall not be sur
prised to see Flour and Provisions, shipped
from Buffalo for this Lake, before the harvest
commences. UuIess we are greatly mistaken,
there is hardly enough here to supply the
home demand, and certainly not enough to
mage up the deficit at ST. Louis.

the capitalists of Europe. Every steamer

we may state that one house in Switzerland
sent out 500, 600 for investments in State and
City securities. The money was invested as

Gently in operation in the Counties comprising

per annum. The whole number of furnaces
make, when in operation, $4,000 tons. This
shows q net loss in the industrial products Of
the country of $4,000 tons annually. That
this cannot be attributed to there being no de-
mand, is shown by the act that in the years
