The CUBAN PRISONERS. from
this city in the Baltimore papers of this morn
ing say:
A telegraphio despatch received here from
New Orleans, this morning, at the Departments,
states that the prisoners in Cuba, one hundred
and thirty in number, were to have sailed fol
Spain on the 9Th instant This intention has
probably been carried out as there was no time
for the intercession Of this Government to reach
Havana.
The benevolent intentions of the President
will not however flag, as it is understood thai
the last steamer to Europe carried out instruc-
tons to Mr.. Barringer, our Minister at Madrid
to urge the Spanish government to exercise
mercy towards her unfortunate and misguided
prisoners.

The boat Elizabeth, of Cumberland, sunk in
the basin at Alexandria on Monday night The
hands had retired to their hunks and were
asleep, when the first notice Of their perilous
condition was made known to them. SO ra-
pid was her descent, that they could save
nothing but themselves. They had in the for
ward cabin two horses which were drowned.
The water from q portion Of the Alexandria
canal was drawn off to raise her, which accounts
for the few departures of canal boats yester-
day. Every thing is again in statu quo and
navigation resumed.

OWING to the late revolutions and couner-revouons
~ among the nations of Europe, which have followed
each other in such quick succession and Of which he
end is not yet" the leading periodicals of Great Britain
have become invested with degree of interest hitherto
unknown. They occupy a middle ground between the
hasy dsointed and necessarily imperfect records of the
newspapers and the elaborate and ponerous treaties to
be furnished by the historian at future day Whoever
count of all the important political events of the Old
World they occur and learns the various conclusions
American publishers therefore deem it proper call

order. The Westminster" though reprinted under that
title only, published in England under the title Of the

This paper is now firmly established. 1t is
Independent. 1t comments with freedom upon
every topic, asks and expects no favors, tells
the truth without fear, favor, or affection, and
has been pronounced "a terror to evil-doers. -
1t has been thought by many that newspaper
could not exist in Washington independent Of
the public patronage. The TELEGRAPH will
probably solve this problem--or at least it will
possess no such patronage not voluntarily given,
