D.r,., webster at Dunkirk.

DumkiTk, Friday, May 16, P: M.-During the
day it was announced that Mr.. Webster, who had
been detained by the sickness OF his son, would
address the citizens this evening. This announce
ment brought large number down to ounkrk,
who with citizens, repaired to the large dinlng-
room Of the Loder House.
Mr. Webster commenced speaking at 7 P. M,
and said, although the event which had separated
him from the rest of the party, and caused his
detention at Dunkirk, was painful one, the deten-
ton itself had been very pleasant. he then
adverted to the subject OF River and Har6or In
provements, and showed the absurdity oil the argu-
ments used by those who opposed the Appropria-
ton Bill.
Mr.. Webster then took up the subject OF the
NewYork and Erie Railroad, and spoke OF the
magnitude of the undertaking and the energy and
perseverance required to sustain and carry forward
such an enterprise to successful completion
He dwelt with emphasis on the public spirit OF
the Dunkirkers. He said that no enterprise IN this
country or in the world could be brought In COM
parison-he referred to the railroad being con
structed between St Petersburgh and Moscow, at
the expense OF the whole Russian nation, as the
only enterprise in Europe that could be brought IN
comparison witt, it, and that line was not as
long, nor did it pass through such rugged and
uneven country. --s
The Erie Railroad is work that confers honor
on the State and Nation.
Mr., Webster said he could not quit the subject
without paving passing tribute to the memory o.
one Of the early friends Of internal improvement
De Wit Clinton He talked of his enlarged and
statesmen like views on this subject Of interna
improvement.
Mr.. W. said he was not NewYork man, but
he was an American, and as such he was tree tt
say that too much honor could not be paid to the
memory of Clinton.
He then made an elegant allusion to the advan
tages of our system of Government over any othe
in the world, and contrasted the happiness Of GU
people with those of other Governments, ant
spoke warmly on the subject of :" the Union,' ant
its advantages to the whole country. .....
Mr.. Webster closed his remarks by thanking
the citizens of Dunkirk for the hospitable name
in which he had been entertained The meeting
was then closed with three cheers for Daniel Web
ster and three for the Union.

The President IN BosToN.-We e have every rea-
son to believe that President FILLMORE will honor
Boston and New England with his presence on the
occasion Of the great railroad jubilee which comes
off during next week. We believe il to be the
unanimous wish of our citizens that he should come,
and we hardly look upon it as other than
duty that he should give New England's hardy
sons, on this festive occasion, an opportunity to
take him by the hand and welcome him within her
borders Public duties, we have reason to believe,
alone will influence him in declining the invitation
which has been extended to him by the city gov
ernmcnt; and we trust that these may be placed in
such train that he will be able to leave the scat of
Government for few days to visit his New Eng
land friends Should this be the case, he will be
welcomed among US by every demonstration of
ioy and respect.-Boston Journal, Sh.

= other sovereign? Certainly not; for the very
terms of the act conne it to the ocean, iohere all
nations haze common right, and sIeTciss common

Now, any military expedition carried on by
private vessel of the United States, by citizens
Of the United States, is carried on from the ju-
risdiction of the United States, and is within
their jurisdiction, Exclusively on the high seas,
and in subordination to that of foreign power
when within its waters. On the high seas
such vessel can escape from their jurisdiction
only upon grounds that would bring 1t within
the penal jurisdiction of every maritime nation
1t was, therefore, not an usurpation or stretch
of power on the part of the PRESIDENT to en-
ploy the Viren and the Sarurlac in the execu-
tion of the law of 1918, but, if he had failed to
do so, he would have been guilty of gross vi

From, Mexico.

The New Orleans Picayuns of the 3lst ultimo
publishes the following intelligence from Mexico,
brief summary of which by telegraph gave
several days since:
The schooner Robert Spedden arrived from
Vera Cruz last evening, and we are indebted to the
officers for Vera Cruz papers ofthe 22d instant, and
corresponding dates from the capital
General dissatisfaction existed in the State OF
Vera Cruz account of the tobacco monopoly,
and this dissatisfaction was greatly aggravated by
scarcity of PROVISIONS which stepped the aborine
classes in the deepest distress.
In the city the people were about to assemble ON
the afternoon Of the 22d, when the gefc poico Or

the National yards, drove the regulars into their
quarters, killing three and woundlng ten or twelve
The National Guards brought out their artillery,
and declared that they would resist any act OF ag-
gres5ion from the military.
The Eco del Comecio, from which we learn this
says that no further disturbance took place, and
that the obnoxious laws were suspended. We
also have printed declaration from the Chief OF
the Department, in answer to remonstrance
from the authorities of the city, that he will use
every exertion to have the laws repealed, and that,
if he does not succeed he will resign his office

was still very high, and another outbreak was

Thus terminated one of the best and most nicely
balanced races record in run OF upwards OF
seventy miles. 1t will be that the Bacchante
and Volante ran a "dead heat" together, but some
delay was caused after rounding the No Man buoy
by the Volante running her bowsprit into the foot
of the mainsa of the Bacchantc, and ripping it up
for several feet.
Just before the vessels above named had got IN,
the America making her way round the
Nab Light, and, by most extraordinary move
ment, she made one reach from the light to Stokes
bay, and by another tack rounded the Brilliant in
gallant style. To accomplish the same feat that
the America had performed, the Alarm took ten
ks, and the Volante made at least twenty for the
same distance. Although not in the match. and
not leaving the starting point as has been stated
for sixty five minutes after the rest, the Yankee
clipper rounded the Brilliant at Sal, thereby nc-
conplshing the distance within ten minutes OF the
Wildfre, and gaining in the round forty five min
utes. Had the America, therefore, proceeded with
the match at the appointed hour, there can be no
doubt that the same fortunate result would here
have greeted the "hying stranger" as she succeed
tire Royal Yacht Squadron.
The greatest excitement prevails here ms TO the
result of the single match between the America and
the Tiania. The latter vessel is being fitted
with new spars and other improvements, but at
present no day has been named when their respec-
tive merits to be tested In fact, positive ar
rangement can be made, as it will rest entirely
with Earl Wilton, the commodore of the Royal
Yacht Squadron, when he shall consider the day
suitable for the purpose.

1t was here remarked that the Volante was over
strained with the heavy weight of canvas that she
carried, for, with stiff breeze that now blow

ing her progress. On getting round the Needles
and when off Freshwater bay, the Wildhre had
clear run before the wind. but reaching towald
Atherfeld bay, the Bacchante overhaued her On
the weather bow. A series OF short tacks and ma
nnuvres now took place between them, during
which time the other vessels, lately far astern
gained considerable advantage. The Bacchante
now got up her balloon jib, and went running un-
til off Roc kenhead, when the Volante, who had
been taking advantage of the movements and the
light breeze, shot ahead of the Wildfire and Bac-
chante. Soon after the wind nearly died away.
than which nothing could have been more fortu-
nate for the Volante with her light sails, and the

squadron had got off, when the America got under

vessels towards the westward. and by holding one
reach she seudded across to Calshot Castle, and
other brought her right off Cowes il was consid-
ered by good judges Of these matters, that when of
Hurst Castle the Wildfre oyertacked herself, and

TRIAL OF CUBAN ExpEoITIoNIsTs.-We learn
from the New York Commercial ddpertiser that the
September term of the United States district court
was to be opened in that city yesterday, when the
indicted persons who have entered into recogni-
for their appearance to be tried at this term
would of course be expected to attend. Among
these Major Sleissinger and Captain Lewis,
defendants with MIR. John L. O'Sullivan, under in
dctment for fitting out the steamer Cleopatra and
enlisting men to engage in hostilities against the
Island of Cuba. The Tribune says that "Major
Seissingor is probably either dead or condemned
to the chains in Cuba, and Captain Lewis is said to
be in command Of the Pampero Neither he nor
the vessel will be able, without exposure to arrest
to return to the United States; and the American
cruisers have been directed to take possession Of
the Pampero wherever they may find herr Chas
O'Connor, esq, is the surety for these defendants,
on recognizances for S 900 each. If the death of
party is shown his bail is discharged"

SsThe Presidents message, at the opening of the

splainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
'those associated with him in the Executive admin
sistration of tt e Government, in regard to what
sare called tb- Adjustment or Compromise mea-
Of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from impertections, yet, in their
mutualdependence and connexion, they formed
q systeIn 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
'hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation TO
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion so
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
'will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon principles
ofthe message, it does expect to stand at al" "
