The Presldent,s Tour.

The enthusiastic reception that has been ex-
tended to President FILLMORE by men Of all
parties, on his present tour, furnishes an unerr-
ing index to the estimate in which the man and
the magistrate are held by the American peo-
pie. We are gratifed to see that even the
DEMOCRATIC journals in the various places
through which he has passed do not with
hold the expressions Of respect and well
come to which his eminent public services SO
well if the courtesy of silence at least had
been manifested by the metropolitan organ
of the Democracy. but perhaps this could
hardly have been expected. That journal, in
its yesterdays impression, assails the PREsI-
DENT for leaving Washington pending the Gu
ban movement, and "before the action Of the
Charleston convention was known )" and al
leges that " such conduct" on his part and that
of the Cabinet is not to be excused" by " the
opening Of railroad" This Grand, the Union
contends, at this time is Z" either ridiculous or
criminal;" and it is of the opinion, further
more, that the "recent exodus from Washing
ton was dictated purely by political considers
TONS"
Now we apprehend that there was no such
urgent and fragrant danger to be feared from
the convention of delegates from the Southern
Rights Associations in Charleston as to make
| it imperative on the PRESIDENT and Cabinet to
remain in Washington. No immediate insur-
recton was understood to be on the carpet. 1t
was never pretended that there was to be any
outbreak on the instant. Nor was it indispen-
sable to taking due care of the marauders
who were engaged in the intended Cuban expo
diton that watch and ward should be kept by
all the Executive officers on their posts in
the capital. Due provision had been made
for all the exigencies likely to be in
volved in this buccaneering enterprise. The
country had been put upon its guard. The
means on which they relied for transportation
had been taken from them. The United States
officers in the localities of the action were on
the alert. Every thing had been done that his
duty required of the PRESIDENT; and it would
be hard to say how he could have materially
aided in operations pending on the southern
coast, or in the Atlantic cities, by remaining
within hailing distance of the White House.
When the Democratic press is reduced to
draw topics of complaint and invective from an
excursion Of this kind, it must obviously be at
an entire loss for graver matters of controver-
sly. If the PRESIDENT never moves from the
seat of Government except at an interval of en-
tire cessation of public business, he would pass
his whole term in confinement. Yet we be-
lieve that President FILLMoRE's Democratic
predecessors have all of them INDUCED in an
occasional tour of this kind without exposing
themselves TO any very injurious comments

From the st. Louis Union.
Arrival from Santa Fe.

We are indebted to our friend Major Fogg, of
the City Hotel, for an introduction to party of
gentlemen who arrived yesterday in st. Louis from
Santa Fe The party consists Of Hon. p. Connel-
iy, late Governor of the Territory, and Messrs s.
M. Whitlock, v. Otero, Juan Perea, Jose Gritur-
res, and S. Griturres-the four latter gentlemen
natives of New Mexico. They reached the city on
the steamer Saranack from Independence ycster-
day morning, and left Santa Fe the first OF April,
and Begas on the sixth.
We have converted particularly with Mr. Whit:
lock, who ia resident OF Santa Fk, whittier he will
return in the spring. There isvery little stirring
blesome. but treaty OF amity had been effected
with them through their most formidable chief,
Chacon, by which he obligated himself 10 maintain
the peace the penalty Of FORGETTING his head. The
vernment, especially since the power has been
taken out of the hands Of the military. Businessis
quite brisk at Santa Fe; and number of mills
were under construction in the ncighboring towns.
They were making quite spirited preparations;
when the party lett, for election Of territorial
officers which wasAo come of in a few weeks.
The party had delightful journey across the
plains. They left the train about two hundred
miles from Council Grove, and travelled the rest OF
the way in carriages. They met Aubrey at Wagon
Mound, about one hundred miles from Santa Fe,
and Brown and Russel's train at Red river.
They met the mail ON the 18th of April at Middle
Cunnarrona. The conductor reported that the Ara
paho Indians had made several demonstrations
and menaces Of hostility on the route, but had not
in any instance proceeded to the execution of their
threats. They saw William Bent at Fort Sod,
about twenty miles below the crossing Of the Ar
kansas. He had sent out despatch TO the Ca
manchcs and Kiowas, and expected them in i'll a
few days, to trade and treat with him. short time
before the arrival of the party Mr.. Bents servant,
Delaware Indian, had strayed beyond bounds,
and had been found murdered; by what Indians
there was no means Of conjecture.
The party saw but few Indians on the route, and
were entirely upmoested.

Late from Havana and Koy West.

The steamship Isabel Captain Rollins, arrived at
our port Saturday evening from Havana and Key
West which places she left the 9Th instant. She
brings full complement Of passengers and cargo.
Among the passengers we notice the name OF Miss
Frederika Bremen, the distinguished authoress.
The Isabel experienced strong northeast gales
during the passage.
By the Isabel we have our usual files of Spanish
papers, extending down to the Sth instant.
We find in the Gaceta of the 7th instant g in
structions," purporting to come from General Le-
per- dated at New Orleans on the Stt OF November,
1850. They announce that before ten days from.
the date Of the Instructions ga certain Ameri-
can general will make landing on tho north
side If Cuba, not far from the Vueita de Abcjo.
This document goes on TO give directions to the
" revolutionary chiefs in Cuba" as to the neces-
sity Of raising the cry of liberty as the
Decentralization takes place, and indicates certain
points for the union Of all who participate in the
movement
In the Gaceta of the 9th instant we find procla-
nation Of his cxccIlency the Captain General in
relation to the proposed expedition of the "prates.
lie object appears to DO to ranquize the minds Of
the people, and to reassure them in such manner
that the ordinary quiet Of the citizens may not BIO
disturbed. II is then stated that in order 70 meet
the invaders it is not necessary TO resort to extra
ordinary mcasures-that the ordinary means at the
disposition of the government will suffice. How
this proclamation squares with the Importation OF
fresh troops, and the organization OF the civic
guards which have been going on for some months
past, we leave readers to infer.
The Dinrio de la Marina has an article refer
ring to the sympathes of so1le New Orleans
papers in favor of an invasion. The Diavio does
NOT believe, according TO its latest information
from New Orleans, that any expedition can sue
coed in getting to sea from that point.
On the 4th instant there was hre in Matanzas,
which burnt up two squares.
We notice the arrival the 9th instant of the
United States steamer Hctzcl at Havana. She is
viewed AZ a "guarda costa" The British steamer
Of war Inflexiblc arrived there ON the same day.
The proclamation Of President Fillmore ia pub

approval.
