AMERICAN CLAIMS ON PoRTUGAL.-The Pari
correspondent of the London Globe saws:

correspondent of the London Globe says: .,
"You aware that the dispute between the United
States and Portugal, in which the former claimed pecu-
mary indemnity for injuries inflicted American subjects
referred to the arbitration Of the President Of the French
Republic. Mr. Fillmore having refused follow up the
menaces made by General Tsylo the President has given
bis award and yesterday M Baroche the son Of the Minis
ter Of Foreign Affairs left Paris to communicate the award
which is, Iam assured, greatly ia favor Of Portugal"
Contrary to this, the Paris correspondent Of the
London Morning Chronicle says that SO far from
an award having been made, the question has not
yet been opened: and, if heis well informed, the
papers connected with the case have not yet reach
ed Paris. satt

ISLAND OF cUBA.
Manifest and Proclamation
of their independence by
the Liberating Society Of
Puerto Principe. (Lo
Soeiadad LebertadorG de
p. P.)
JULI A, 1851.
Human reason revolts against
the idea that the social and po-
litical condition Of q people
can be indefinitely prolonged,
in which man, stripped Of all
rights and guarantees, with no
security of person or proper
ty, no enjoyment in the pre-
sent, no hope in the future,
lives only by the will and
under the conditions imposed
by the pleasure Of his ty-
rants where a vile calumny,
a prisoners denunciation, =
despot's suspicion, . word
caught up by surprise in the
sanctuary OF home, or from
the violated privacy Of q let
ter, furnishes ample ground
for tearing q man from his
hearth and casting him forth
TO die of destituu0n and des-
pair in a foreign soil, II he
escapes being subjected to the
insulting forms ofa barbarous
and arbitrary tribunal, where
hispersecutors are themselves
his judges, who condemn him,
and where, instead Of proving
his offence, he is required to
prove his innocence.
A situation 80 violent a. this
Cuba has now been for many
years enduring; and, far from
any promise OF remedy APP
pearing, every day adds that
the policy Of the mother coun-
try and the ferocity of her
rulers will grant neither truce
nor rest till she is reduced to
the coalition of an immense
prison, where every Cuban
will be watched by . guard,
and will have to pay that guard
for watching him, &c.

The Chinese Language.--A correspondent of the
Ohio Observer says that Chinese has written
geography in his native tongue, in which he aston
ishes the natives by introducing them TO the habits
and customs of civilized nations, all of which they
had thought hopelessly sunk in darkness and bar
barism. They could not be more astonished if they
received information concerning the enlightened
circles in the moon. Speaking of this country, he

Negro Thef.-A man was lately detected tam
pering with slaves about Natchez. The Free
Trader says:
His game was to sell them free passes, which
would carry them out of the State to free soil, for
ten dollars each. A great effort was observed
among negroes lately to raise money, which ex-
cited suspicion, and his frequent private interviews
with negroes excited more. On Sunday morning,
it became apparent that certain negro was pre-
pairing to decamp that his master threw him in Jail,
and thus the doings of this agent Of The abolition
lists were exposed. He was taken in custody, and
as nothing but negro testimony could be broueht
against him, there was disposition to give him
summary punishment. To save him from this, the
officers were bearing him away to jail, when the
crowd "gathered " him, took him to the bluff,
stripped and gave him between three and four hum
dred ashss his hide will testify to the day Of his
| death. He made many confessions under the lash,
| and showed that he richly deserved the rope. To
save his life the crowd hurried him down to boat
the steamer r. w. Winslow, which was descend
| ing the river.
| We warn all the towns and cities below us to be
on the lookout for him. His name is said to be

Riot IN Ctncinnati.-Quite riot occurred in
Cincinnati week before last. 1t appears that
Messrs Clawson & Nudge, bsdstead manufactur-
ers, had determined to reduce the wages of their
hands, most of whom quit in consequence. On
Monday those not at work mobbed those who
were, declaring that they should not continue un'
less under the old prices. The building was
much damaged, and the rioters expelled the othert
from the premises. Order was finally restored by
the Mayor and police. Firearms were used, and
several persons were wounded.

Gen. Belinap. - We announced, few days
since, the death of Rrevet Brigadier General w.
G.. Belknap, Lieutenant Colonel of The Fifth Uni
ted States Infantry, near Preston, Texas, Novem-
Der 10, 1851. An old friend of the General has
been kind enough TO furnish us with a brief ac-
count of the military career of this distinguished
officer for which we are pleased to find space in
our columns.
General BeIknap entered the service as a Third
Lieutenant of the Twenty third Regiment of In
fanlry, United States Army, in April, 1913, and
accompanied the expedition of that year down the
ST. Lawrence, under General Wilkinson. He
served during the campaign of 1874 on the Niagara
frontier, with great distinction, and especially on
The attack Of the British army on Fort Erie, on the
18th of August of that year.
Lieutenant Belknap commanded picket guard
of one hundred men on that night, which was
| thrown out ore mile or more in the direction of
| the enemy He was met at that point with a
| heavy assaulting column Of two thousand men,
! under the command of Lieutenant General Drum.
mond, and although obliged to retreat before this
large force, kept up constant and unremjtted fire
| until they arrived at the defences of Fort Erie.
Lieutenant Belknap received a severe wound on
he was retained in the Second Regiment United
States Infantry, Colonel Brady,) where he con.
tinued till the reduction of the army, in 1881
when he was transferred as senior First Lsutenan
of the Third United States Infantry, in whict
regiment he continued as Lieutenant and Captain
more than twenty years, and until promoted to
majority in the Eighth Infantry, in 1912.
He was brevet,ed Lieutenant Colonel in 1S42
for his services in Florida. In the battles of Pail
Alto and Resaca de la Palma, he commanded
brigade with much galIantry and distinction, ant
received the brevet of Colonel. At the siege an,
capture of Monterey, he was Acting Inspector Ger
eral of General Taylor's army, and at the battl
| of Buena Vista, was brevetted Brigadier Genera
having served under General Taylor in every ba
tie fought by him during the Mexican war rs
| Louis Republican.

Melancholy - Last Monday, German lady,
about sixty years of age, direct from Germany, ar
rived at the canal landing on La Sale street, in
place on the packet. Her health was feeble, and
she desired to stop here; she was assisted in get
ting off the boat and conducted to Mr.. Fick's hotel
On entering the sitting room she suddenly and
quite unexpectedly found herself face to face with
her only daughter, whom she had not seen for a
number of years, and to see whom she had made
the journey to this country. Each recognized the
other, and with ecstatic joy, folded each other in
their arms. The mother gave utterance to few
expressions of love and affection for her child and
then swooned away. She was placed upon bed
and all possible means were used to restore her to
consciousness, but all in vain The spirit had de.
| parted she was dead Next day her remains
were conveyed to the cemetery, below town, &C.
| oompaned by a number of her countrymen, and
| decently inferred. We have not been able to as
| certain her name. lOttawa Free Trader.

Lola Montes and her Agent Monies and
M. Roux, a theatrical AGENT entered time ago
into an agreement by which the latter bound him
self to accompany her in the visits she proposed to
make as danseuse the different cities in Europe,
to the United States, Cuba, Mexico, Chill, Peru
and Africa and to make engagements for her at
different theatres he receiving 25 per cent on all
receipts; whilst Lola, on her part, bound herself
TO dance at all the places M. Roux might Designate
sum of l00,0 600 francs to be paid by that one
of the two parties who should violate the engage
ment. After having accompanied Mile. Lola to
| some of the principal towns of France, Belgium,
| Switzerland and Prussia, M. Roux arrived with
her in Paris and negotiated for her appearance at
the Theatre du Vaudeville and at the Theatre Ma
tional. But as he alleges, Lola refused to dance:
Having represented to the President of the Civil
Tribunal that by this breach of agreement she did
him great injury, and having also stated that she
| was about to leave for America without him, con-
trary to her agreement, he obtained authorization
to effect seizure of her furniture, costumes and
jewels. The seizure was duly made, but Mile
Lola put in an opposition to it, Her advocate
having appeared before the President OF the Clvi
Tribunal declared that it was not true that she hat
refused to dance, and that she had always beeI
ready to appear in any theatre which NJ. Kou'
might Indicate On this the President ordered th'
seizure to be annulied, and the proceedings con
nected with il to be discontinued. [Gallgnani'

False Packing Of Couon.--We mentioned some
time since that the Manchester Chamber of Com.
merce and Commercial Association, and the Amer
ican Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool had ap.
pointed committees to draw up resolutions relative
to the return of falsely packed cotton. We per-
ceive, from the advices brought by the Humboldt,
that the following rules in reference thereto have
been adopted:
l. That cotton returned as falsely or irregn'arly
packed be paid for at the price which the cotton, il
regularly packed, would be worth on the day or
which it would be received back at Liverpool.
2. That no allowances for expenses to transmit
beyond the limits of Great Britain be made on re.
turned cotton.
g. That all claims for falsely or irregularly packed
| cotton be accompanied by the declaration of ths
| planters mark or certificate, where there is any
such mark, and if required, the entire canvas il
which the cotton was packed to be returned.
A fourth proposal by the Liverpool Committee Il
reduce the time within which cotton could he re
turned ms falsely packed from twelve to six months
was rejected by the Manchester depu'aton.
