ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church COM
menced its session at Monrovia on the Both of Jan.

A coored missionary presided.
During the year 1850 several substantial build
ings have b, en- erected in Monrova and others
were in the course of erection. Old buildings are
being enlarged and repaired. The same remarks
will apply TO the settlements in the interior. Along

PENNsYLvANIA's CALIFoRNIA.-A joint com
mi,iee of the Legislature of Pennsy lvania, says
the Philadelphia Ledger estimates the value of the
present annual yield of the coal mines of Pennsyl-
vania al Sl7 800 900, and the annual product of
furnaces, FORCES, and rolingmils, at not less than
S2S DOC, 900. In about two and a half years-the
time since the discovery of the gold mines of Cali
fornia-it is estimated that S95 600 900 have been
taken out at the rate of S3s 900 900 per annum
The coal and iron of Pennsylvania are therefore
more productive than are Callfornia's riches.

Proclamation of the President of the
United States.

WASHINGTON, April 10 1851.
Whereas, there is reason to believe that militia
ry expedition is about to be fitted out in the United
States, with the intention to invade the Island OF
Cuba, colony OF Spain, with which this country
is at peace and, whereas, it is believed that this ex
pedtlon is instgated and set on foot by foreigners
who dare to make shores the scene of. their
guilty and hostile preparations against friendly
power and seek by fasehood and nisrepresenta-
lion to seduce ctizen', especially the
young and nconsiderate into their wicked schemes
ungrateful return for the benefits conferred upon
them by this people, in permitting them to make
our country asylum from oppression, and in fla
grant abuse Of the hospitality thus extended to
them:
| And, whereas such expeditions can only be re-
garded as adventures for plumber and robbery, and
must meet the condemnation of the civilized world,
whilst they derogatory to the character of our
country, in violation OF the laws of nations and ex-
pessy prohibited by own-our statutes de-
carng that if any person shall within the territory
jurisdiction Of the United States begin or set on
loot or provide or prepare the means for any mill
tary expedition or enterprise, to be carried from
thence against the territory or domains of any for
eign Prince State, or of any colony, district or
| people with whom the United States are at peace,
every person so offending shall be deemed guilty OF
| hi gh misdemeanor and shall be fined not exceed
| ing three thousand dollars, and imprisoned not
more than three years
Now, therefore, have issued this my proclama-
ton, warning all persons who shall connect them
| selves with any such enterprise expedition in
violation of laws and national obligations tina,
they will thereby subject themselves to the heavy
penalties denounced against such offences, and will
forfeit their claim to the protection of this Govern
ment, any interference in their behalf, no matter
to what extremities they may be reduced in conse-
quence OF their illegal conduct; and therefore
exhort all good citizens as they regard our national
reputat ion-as they repect their laws, and the
laws of nations-as they value the blessings OF
peace, and the welfare of their country to discoun-
tenance, and by all lawful means prevent, any
such enterprise; and call upon every officer Of
this Government, civil military, to use all efforts
| in his power to arrest for trial and punishment
every such offender against the laws of the country
| Given under my hand the twenty-lif day of April
