Consul. to the spanish West India Islands

COnsuis 10 the spanish West India Islands.
The Baltimore Patriot of yesterday, in an arti-
Gle commenting on statement of the New York
Sun, relative to a contemplated invasion of Cuba
for which we think there is no authority, thus
presses itself.
"Whatever may be the degree of credit belong
ing to the story OF the New York Sun, it ia certain
that the Spanish Government are very much agi-
tated about their West India colonies and are APP
prehcnsive that they in danger of losing them.
The failure to receive and recognise some Of the
consuls, which have been recently appointed by
the United States, to reside at ports in of the
Spanish islands, has, it is believed connexion
with these apprehensions; and though the suspi-
cions which the Spanish authorities have thus in
dulged and acted upon are altogether groundless
and unjust to the officers who have thus been
cluded by them from official positions in these
islands, yet the fact that they acted upon them,
groundless they were, is proof of the intense
feeling of apprehension by which the Spanish
thorities are moved.
"One of the consuls who was thus not recognised
is the Rev MIR. Sewell, whose arrival at New York
we announced the other day. We have authentic
information that General Tench Tilghman, of this
State, who was appointed consul at Mayaguez in
Porto Rico, stopped at Savannah, on his way
thther, by information that the Spanish authori
ties had refused to recognise any of the consuls for
that island, except the one ut st. Johns. We have
had accounts recently, of difficulties in Mayaguez,
and of the friends of General II. may have
supposed that he was there. He was stopped at
Savannah, Tor the reason we have stated, and Sc
we're domestic afiiicton, which he suffered whilst
there, made il necessary for him to return to his
home in Maryland, where he now is. We under
stand that a renonstrance has been made against
the action of the Spanish authorities to receive
suls at ports in the West Indies, where our trade
makes it important should have them. The
result Of this reInonstrance is not yet known.
cit was suggested at the time that the ministe
rial character of Mr.. Sewcll may have had some
thing to do with his rejection but the rejection of
MIR. Til0hman. and the ayOWal, that under
stood has been made, that no consuls would be
cevcd at all, authorizes the inference that it is
jealousy or fear of the Americans which prompts
the Spanish government in this matter"

TIE CoSTRuBUrioNs or LOUISIANA TO THE WASH
IHGToH MoSUMEST.-The block Of free stone pro-
cured in Catahoula parish, and intended as the
contribution Of louisiana to the Washington mon
ument, for which provision was made by the last
Legislature, is nearly completed, and will, il is
hoped, soon be submitted to the public gaze The
design well the execution, reflects great credit
upon the sculptor, MIR. William Forshey. Our State
device, the pelican feeding her young is scupturcd
upon the front, with cotton plant and stalk Of
sugar-cane either side, constituting the border
ofan eclipse, and above, the motto: The State Of
Lotpisiana- Faithful 10 The Contribution and The
Union. The cotton plant is cut tastefully and true
10 nature, while the sugar cane though not dis.
playing at full length the luxuriant blades of Lou
isana's great staple, looks natural the art Of
sculpture can make il, under the circumstances.
The pelican is a fine piece Of workmanship, repre-
sented with raised wings, fish in her bcak, and
five young ones clustered around her breast with
upturned beaks; and, taken n whole, looks more
like genuine pelican than any representation we
have ever seen.-N o. True Delta.

A STRONG GAME.-The Boston Alias says that
King Ferdinand, of Naples, with the royal view OF
replcnishing his exhausted exchequer, issued a
proclamation declaring Messina a free port. Those
who were simple enough to believe the word of a
king, entered the port and stored their commodi-
ties but when they attempted to sell export
them, they were politely informed that his august
majesty had changed his royal mind, and would
tax every cents worth Of foreign produce in the
port The merchants demonstrated, but in vain;
they even asked permission to withdraw their goods
and depart as they had entered, but this was also
denied His majesty would not allow any thing
that had entered Messina, agrceaby 10 his procla-
nation, TO be either withdrawn sold, without
first paying an enormous duty OF over 100 per cent
on its value. Among those who have been thus
entrapped, are several merchants of Boston, some
Of whom have paid the duties under protest. They
have represented their 10 our Government, and
claim its protection against the outrageous pro-
cecdings.
