The Reported Instruction in Cubn.

There is reason to believe that the reports Of
an outbreak in Cuba, received by the steamer
Cherokee at New York, are greatly exagge-
rated, if not altogether untrue. The New York
Commercial .Adrertiser of Tuesday evening
says:
" Readers will probably remember that about
ten days ago published statement TO the effect
that of certain parties liable to arrest for conspi
racy at Puerto Principe about twenty had fled to the
mountains, where they found security, were sup
piled with provisions from the town, had been
joined by few others in like danger Of arrest, and
that an attempt Of the authorities TO reach and cap
ture them had failed. We apprehend, carefully
weighing all the statements that these are the sim
pie facts which have been magnifed into revolu.
tion-the first blow struck-former news con.
frmed-revolt of the Principanos- troops driver
back" with much more of the same SORT Itii
rather too bad this hot weather"
From photographic despatch received last eve
ming we learn that the schooner Seagull arrived
at Savannah on the .22d instant from Havana
which port she left on the 18th, and brings in
telligence that the reported instruction a
Puerto Principe had turned out to be hoax. i
created much excitement at first, which eventu
ally subsidized. The general health of the IslanC
of Cuba is said to be good, though one or two
cases Of cholera had occurred.

Manners Change with Chimes.


Governor SMITH, of Virginia, having changed
his political habitation, presided lately over
''the California Democratic State Convention. y
1t would appear from the following resolu-
tons adopted by that body that this distin-
guished politician has undergone some change
of political faith since his departure from the
land of 98-'9:
"Resolued, That the mineral lands of California
ought not to be sold by the Government, but
granted to the miners and emigrants who are
American citizens.
"Resolced, That all public lands of California
ought to be reserved by the Government from sale,
and granted to citizens and actual settlers"
1t was the doctrine of the Southern States
that they ought to be allowed " to participate
in the acquisition of the common blood and
treasure
1t was the doctrine of the Southern Democ-
racy that the public domain should be admins
tered by the Federal Government for the COM
mon benefit of all the States. But these reso-
buttons give the valuable mineral and public
lands to the citizens of California alone The
Federal Government will be thus left to bear
the expenses of the foreign and domestic ad-
ministration of California whilst, under the
resolutions, the entire income to be derived
from the land and treasure of California will
cease forever.
The adoption of the proposed policy will
have favorable effect in developing the power
and prosperity of CALIFORNIA; policy, we sup
pose, not very palatable to the late Southern
political associates of Governor SMITH.

To THE EDIToRs:
GENTLEMEN: Unwilling as am at all times to
yet find that paragraph in letter from Mr. Rid
die, published in your number of June 10th, de-
mands few words from me in justification of my
course regards the Worlds Fair.
have been throughout most anxious to secure
and protect the interests of those American contr-
butors who had entrusted their goods TO our care,
and very socitous to comply with their wishes in
every respect especially in the matter OF bringing
their articles under the notice OF the jurors.
With this object in view, after had completed
my portion of the catalogue, devoted many hours
with one of my clerks in going through all the let
tiers and papers, and gathering from them those
particulars which enabled me to furnish the neces
sary descriptions, and these, when prepared, were
taken into the jurors room by my own clerk, and
placed in the hands of a member Of the Executive
Committee.
In cases where was in possession Of the prices,
and considered il to be advantageous to the ex-
hibitor to supply them, did so +; but in many in
stances the invoices high as to destroy all
hope of an award of premium, and it seemed to me
desirable to withhold them i know of two in
stances in which the high cost of an article opc-
rated at once to produce an uniavorable impress
sion.
Several of our friends who were present expressed
dislike at having their prices published, and in
discriminate publication would have been prejudi-
cial to the interests of many among them. may
state, as example, that articles are left in my
charge to be disposed of at prices materially differ
ent from those first given.
Mr.. Riddle assumes that the majority OF exhibit
ors sent their goods here for SALE whereas more
than onehalf of our friends wish theirs either to be
returned or have appointed their disposition, and
have therefore gipsn prices.
In no instance have withheld information when
in my power to render it; but certainly never
considered Mr.. Riddle entitled to the possession of
papers and documents entrusted to me for my own
special guidance.
am, gentlemen, yours, very respectfully,

PHILIP CLAYroN.-We regret to perceive that
this able and indefatigable public officer has ten
dered his resignation Second Auditor, to take
effect from the first of October next. There was
no bureau under the Government where the duties
were more promptly and satisfactorily performed
than that over which Mr. Clayton presided since
the advent Of General Taylor's administration. To
strict and impartial attention to business, he
added great courtesy and urbanty of manner,
which would naturally make him what he was-a
most popular and acceptable public officer. Whe-
Their in public or private station he has our best
wishes for his future prosperity and happiness

WASHINGTON:
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY "a. 1851.

s'These of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me a settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement danger
Gus and exciting subjects which they embraced"
''By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation thatsurrounded
US, and have a firm, distinct, and legal ground
10 rest upon. And the occasion, trust, will JUS
9 tify me IN EXPORTING NY couNTRYMEs TO RALLY

"The Presidents message, at the opening of the

PLAINLY his own and the unanimous opinion Of al
those associated with him in the Executive admin
sistration of the Government, in regard to what
'are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
'sures of last session. That opinions, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
n fnalsettlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
"a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad
shered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation Il
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, 90
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, ant
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this the security o
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside
Aation of the public good demands this. If tn,

early this year usual, but the wheat is quite

have the best prospect of rich yield from every
crop they cultivate"
