A correspondent of the New York Courier hay
ing oilicously undertaken to assert that the Adj
iusment was "not an administrative act" and
that the proposition in the New York Legislature
to pass resolutions to abide by it, is not approved
in Washington sin any responsible quarter, we
are glad to see the following denial in the Re-
public;
We do not know by what authority the cores
pendent of the Courier undertakes to speak res
pectng "the sanction or encouragement of the
Administration" inasmuch as from his antece-
dents he would be about the last person in the
city likely to be we'll informed upon that subject.
Contrary, indeed, to what he hears and Writes we
hear and believe, that the Administration wolld
feel gratified in having the principles ami recon-
mendations set forth in the Presidents message
approved by Wings in all quarters, and especially
thatpart OF the message which aequiosces in the
Adjustment bills, and pronounces them SINAI"
The Adjustment, we are told here, as if official
y, was not a part of Wing policy. We do not
know that. The parliamentary father of these
bills was the Hon. Henry Clay, whose "Whig
policy" for some half a century, few Wings have
been accustomed to doubt They were advoca-
ted and defended IS measures of settlement by no
less Wing than the present Secretary of State.
The President himself, in his Texas message,
boldly took the most difficult and dangerous item
of the Adjustment purchase from Texas of
her claim 10 New MeXico-under his own espe-
cial patronage. The Adjustment, therefore, if
such signs mean any thing, feas part of the
Wing policy; and, lift were not, the recommen-
dation o. the President, approved by all the Cab
met, and by a large majority ofthe Wing mem
bers of Congress, that these measures be regard
ed as final settlement" certainly make the
Peace measures Wing measures,

THE FOOLISH QUARREL.
"Hush, Juana! It's quite certain
That the coffee was not strong;
Own your error--l'll forgive you
Why so stubborn in the wrongp
you'll forgive me! Sir, l hate you
Y GU have used ME like a churl.
Have my senses ceased 10 guide ME !
Do you think am girl I"
ooh, no. you're girl no longer,
But woman, formed TO please;
And 1t is time you shall abandon
Childish follies such as these
"Oh, Ihate you! But why vex me!
If Pm old you're older still!
LII no longer be your victim,
And the creature otyour will"
"But, Juana, why this pother
ltmight happen [ was wrong;
But II common sense inspire me,
Still that coffee was not strong"
Common sense. You never had it,
Oh, that ever | was born
To be welded to a monster,
Who repays my love with scorn."
"Well, Juana, we'll not quarrel
What is the use of bitter strife?
But Pm sorry | am married;
was mad to take a wife"
"Mad, indeed Pm glad you know it,
But if there be law in Spain,
I'll be tied TO you no longer
! am weary of the chain
Hush, Juana Shall the servants
Hear you argue, eyer wrong!
Can you not have done with folly!
Own the coffee was not strong !
cob, you goad me past endurance,
Trifling with my woman's heart
But loathe you, and detest you-
William! Monster. Let us part"
Long this foolish quarrel lasted,
Till Juana, halt afraid
That her empire was 10 peril,
Summon'd never failing aid
Summon'd tears in copious torrent
Tears, and sobs, and piteous signs;
Well she knew the potent practice,
The artillery Of the eyes.
And it CHANGED as she imagined
Beautiful in grief was She
Beautiful to best Advantage;
And tender heart had he.
kneeling at her side he soothd her,
'Dear Juana, | was wrong;
Never more I'll contradict you
But, oh, make my coDee strong"

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

We learn from the White Sulphur Springs mat
the PRESIDENT, accompanied BY Mr.. Secretary
SruARr and some other gentlemen, arrived at that
popular and beautiful watering place on Wednes-
day evening last A committee OF gentlemen rom
different Southern States met the President the pre-
vious evening some twenty miles from the Springs
and accompanied him thither. His arrival was
greeted by the large crowd sojournng at the
Springs, as well as by great many people Of the
neighboring country, assembled to see him, with
the most cordial demonstrations of respect and
without distinction of party. He was addressed
on behalf of the assembled citizens in patriotic
and eloquent strain by Mr.. BEVERLY JOHNSTON,
and by the Hon. JOHN BARNEY, to whom the Pre-
sIDENT replied in brief but happy manner-de-
claring, among other sentiments, that, in admins
tering the Government he knew no North, no
South, no East no West. His speech was warmly
received, and much applauded. Mr.. STUART was
also called out, and made some felcitous remarks,
which drew forth repeated applause.
In the evening the PRESIDENT visited the Ball
room for short time, and received the cordial sa-
Iutatons Of its brilliant company of ladies and
gentlemen.
The PRESIDENT is expected to return to this city
early in the ensuing week.

THE LOPEZ ExPEDITIoN-LATE AND IMPoR-
TANT FROM HAVANA.

The steamship Winfield Scott, Capt. CourLLARD,
which arrived at New York on Thursday from
New Orleans, made the passage in less than six
days, which is said to be the shortest passage, by
four and half hours, ever made between the two
cities. The newspapers give the following report
Of her news:
The Winfield Scott stopped Key West for half hour
The Pampero, Capt. Lewis into Key West on
the 10th instant and after having anchored in the habo for
some hours she left IL o'clock night, for the Cuba
Shore with Lopez his suite, and about 450 board
On the 18th she returned Key West and again anchored
in the harbo but her papers being satisfactory to the
Government authorities, she left within an hour to avoid
being sezed and, having landed Lopez at Cabana about
forty miles from Havana, she remained cruising in the vcni-
y Of Key West till the night of the 18th instant when she
took on board twenty twenty-five recruits who leh the
shore by boats and then departed for Jacksonville Florda
to take board another expedition commanded BY Gen.
GONZALES.
PAINFUL NEWS FROM HAVANA.
The steamer Cherokee, whose arrival at New

essential particulars. This mornings mail will no
doubt put us in possession of all the details. In
the mean time we give such reports as have reached
