Gently written TO friend in this city, stating the
substance of long and interesting interview with
M DsTocqueyile, at which the difficulty between
France and The United States, in which he PLAYED
SO Important part, was the subject of comment
and conversation According to the statements of
the letter in question, NJ. DeTocqueville distinctly
admitted that he was led into a grave mistake in
his correspondence, owing to erroneous inormalion
which he had received from his colleague, the Min
lister of Marine, to the law of salvage which il
VIII be remembered was one of the questions in-
volved in the case Of Commander Carpenter, and
furnished the occasion TO Nj. Poussin of Offering an
indignity to the American navy, which terminated
in his dismissal.
The ex-minster of foreign affairs expressed his
regret at the misunderstanding which had occurred
between the two governments, and especially as it
had been occasioned by his own Misrepresentation

~, WASHINGTON, February Z.
Nh CEayS next question was, Has Congress
any power over slavery out OF the State " He
contended 1t had; that while the want OF control
over that institution in the States was indisputable
ITS control out OF the States was debateabe ques-
ton He supported this with a heightened argu-
ment He next proceeded to inquire whether sla-
very was likely to be introduced into the new Ter
ritories. California had decided negatively and the
climate and soil of the remainder forbid any other
views. Why, then, if these truths were evident
as they must be to large majority of the Senate
should they not be prepared to announce them to
The world! He then carefully reviewed the reso-
luton relative to the boundaries of Texas.
Mr.. Clay then yielded to a motion to postpone
until tomorrow. Adjourned

The CuBA INvAsioN.-The Washington cor
respondent OF the N. Y. Journal Of Commerce, nm
der date of Feb, 4, says: The Cuba nvasionists
have prepared to press their schemes in an open
manner, and without violating the neutrality law.
They have calculated upon the quiescence, if not
the sympathy, Of the British Envoy now here, mas
much as he had some difficulty with the Spanish
Government; but in this respect they are, learn,
to be disappointed. Sir Henry Buwer, it is be-
lieved will be prepared TO protest earnestly against
the prosecution OF schemes for revolutionzing Cuba
and British and French naval force will be ready
to maintain the existing Government of Cuba. Fur
ther, learn from good authority that the Spanish
Government have instructed the Captain General
OF Cuba, 10 berate the slaves in case OF invasion
or insurrectIon and serious attempt az revolution.

A DENIAL.-The Cherokee Advocate denies that
the Cherokees are making exertons for the purpose
of becoming, as stated by contemporary, part Of
the Union and says So far as we know the
feelings of the Cherokee people, it is right to the
reverse of the statement. Although there might be
some individuals among us in favor Of such pro
ject; yet, as to the majority of the Cherokee peo-
pie, such thing cannot be justly alleged against
them. And if it were true, that we did wish to
join the Union, do not say that we would be
culpabe. Butt is their wish to remain distinct
and separate community as long as they can"

ST. Louis AND PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The feel
ing in regard to this great enterprise seems to be
rapidly improving in st. Louis. The more the
project is discussed the better it bears examina-
ton. The stock taken, within three days. amount
ed to 1928 2OO-more than required by the charter
for the commencement of the work This amount
(says the Republican of the Sth) will be swelled
very materially to-day and tomorrow, and if the
books were to be kept open for longer period, we
entertain no doubt that every day would add to the
amount of the stock, and the popularity of the un-
dertaking. Prejudices already giving way, and
those who looked upon the road with dsfavor,
when it was first brought to notice. are now will
ling to yield their objections, and to help along
So should all of our citizens. When built it can
not be partial in the benefits which it coners, but
will shed its advantages, not only ON those who
aid in building it, but upon those who decline to do
So No enterprise OF the same magnitude has, in
our opinion, commenced under better auspices !;
and from the moment that the first locomotive is
put upon it, matter what the distance may be-
we venture the prediction that it will be dividend
paying stock. 1t will pay whether it is completed
fifty, or an hundred miles, or the whole distance
two hundred and forty miles.
