those whalemen who are Co operating with me in
collecting materials for the " Wind and Current
Charts'-and the whale chart belongs to the Sc
ries-will therefore understand and appreciate the
Importance of keeping daily record as to the
temperatures Of AR and ,Daf~.
There is another point also to which would call
their attention, because, by regarding it, it may
prove Of value to these researches and to them and
that point Is deep sea soundings.
1t ID said that the sperm whale goes to the bottom
OF the for its food. What is the greatest depth
to which 1t can go for this purpose, and are its
places OF resort confined to parts of the that
come within these depths?
Now, ii owners would provide their ships each
with a few thousand fathoms Of twine, and some
scraps Of old iron or lead to serve as sounding
weights, am sure that the whalemen, from the
great philosophical interest which many of them
manifest with regard to my resear riches, would in
Gains get deep sea soundngs for me.
Ii the ocean were very deep, and the time could
not be spared TO haul up the line, it might, the
length out being known by what il left, be cut;
and ~ the line and sinker would cost but little,
the expense to each ship would be but a triHe.
take this occasion to say, because some of the
whalemen have supposed it unnecessary to con-
tinue the abstract when in sight of land that it
important to have complete abstract for every
day they are at sea, that We may know whether
they find fish not, how plentifully the force and
direction of winds and currents, temperature of
the air and water; and CLEAN information as to all
other phenomena which they are requested in the
abstract log to note. M. F. MAURY,

NATIONAL OBSERVATORY
WAsHINaroN, d. c., April is, 1850.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-04-23

The above is an extract from the chart, which,
not being ready for publication, nevertheless af-
fords information that have thought might prove
of value to the great national interests which
attaches to the American whaling business.
1t will appear from the above sample that have
examined the log books ofwhalers. who, altogether,
have spent ,l24 days in the district (N) between
the equator and 80 N. 500 and $50 W., without ever
having seen a whale, either sperm or right, within
il; whereas in the district (M) that joins it the
SOUTH sperm whales have been seen in every month
of the year except January, February, and March;
and right whales nepsr; and it appears that the dis
trict (P) which joins this one Immediately on the
south is frequened by the sperm whale all the year
round, but never by the right.
II the information afforded by the great number
of vessels whose logs have CHANGED To- be examined
for these districts be fair sample of what the whole
would show. as il is supposed to be, then it would
appear altogether useless to look here for right
whales or in the first mentioned district (N) either
for right or sperm.
In the sample marked b, of the west coast Of South
America, between 400 and SOP S., 75o and 500 W., IL
appears that the upper district (Q) is not much fire.

Rumored Attack ON Cuba.

The very general tone Of the public press in re-
Iation TO the rumored renewal of aggressions upon
Cuba, by adventurers from the United States is in
full accordance with the public feeling of ndisna
ton with which the reports of that projected out
rage have been received. That such an expedi-
ton, for such lawless purpose, should be fitted
out upon our shores, was a matter Of modification
when LOPEZ made his feeble attempt upon Cardc-
mas repetition of that abuse Of friendly terri
indignant disgust
The mercenary character of this expedition, OF
which we have vague and flying rumors. is not at
all disguised under pretensions of love of liberty
and desire to extend that boon to the people OF
Cuba Such an affectaton is ridiculous, and de-
ccives no one. How far the population of Cuba are
desrous of freedom, how far they fit for 1t, does
not appear from any efforts they have ever made
themselves to obtain it.
In the mean time the vigilance of the Admins
tration will doubtless be exercised in discovering
and frustrating the projected outrage upon a
friendly and neighboring power. Happy would it
be for these reckless and desperate adventures il
the preventive efforts of the Government should
succeed in defeating their mad design before il
shall have brought them within the reach of Span
ish vengeance. According to all accounts the
Island of Cuba was never in better state Of defence
than now; nor are there any symptoms of disloy-
atty the part of the people at Iargewhose favor
has been much conciliated by the liberal policy Of
the new governor general.

il has at s disposal 10 absolutely necessary for the
protection Of the frontier. not against such incon
venience and injury those TO which the inhabt-
ants of Florida are exposed, by the vicinity OF
small remnant of tribe who have for several years
been harmless, but against the continualincursions
of numerous and powerful tribes Of Indians In
state Of actual hostility. Such is the situation al
this moment, of the inhabitants ofTexas' OF Call
fornia and New Mexico; and ! am quite sure that
the good people of Florida would regret TO see any
portion of the very inadequate force employed In
the protection Of that distant and deienceiess TO-
eion diverted from its purpose
There is another difficulty. The appropriations
made by Congress for the support Of the army, dur
ing the approaching fiscal year, are entirely mad
eauate to the purpose; and even If the Department
had at its disposal the military force necessary to
enable it to make against the Indians in Flor-
da, il would be prevented from doing SO by the
want of funds. By the seventh section Of the act,
a copy of which il enclosed in your letter, 1t APP
pears that the Legislature Of Florida (who arc pre-
sumcd to be well informed this subject) estimate
that the expense Of eecting the forciblc removal OF
the Indians would be not less than $2,OOO.OOO,
1.-TWO millions Of dollars.) You will readily per-
ceiye, therefore, that the Executive would reluc-
tantly embark in an undertaking, which would in
volve such a heavy expenditure. until Congress
ing it into execution.
As regards the plan suggested by you, Of send
ing party to survey the land now occupied by the
Indians under an escort ofa regiment Of volunteers,
with orders to capture all the Indians they fall in
with, and to destroy their towns" have only to
remark that this Department has neither the au-
thoriy to survey public lands, or to raise volun-
teer regiment for the purpose Of protecting those
engaged in such an operation.
beg leave, however, to assure you that this De-
partment is employing, and will continue to en-
ploy all the at its disposal to effect speedy
removal of these Indians and to express the hope
and the belief that neither the government nor
the inhabitants Of Florida will, by any precip-
itate proceeding interfere with apd thwart its ef-
forts. have no doubt that such proceedings would
rather retard than expedite the accomplishment Of
the object they have in view.

The Most Reverend Archbishop SAMUEL
EcCLEsToN, who has been lying sick at his
residence at the convent in Georgetown, for
several weeks, died last evening, at twenty
five minutes past six O'Clock We learn that
he was afflicted with complication of diseases.
which the skill of his eminent physicians
could not overcome. II was believed fort
night ago that he could not recover, and in this
opinion the Archbishop himself concurred.
His disease continued to become more aggrava-
ted. and he was not expected to live through
Friday night, but he fingered on, becoming
more and more feeble until the time we have
stated, when, surrounded by sorrowing friends,
he sunk calmly to rest.
The deceased was native Of Kent county,
Maryland, and was born on the 9th of June,
1871, and was, therefore, nearly fifty years OF
age. He had filled the Archaopiscopal See in
the Roman Catholic church since September,
1884.
We understand thai the corpse will remain
in state in the chapel of the convent to-day; and
that tomorrow morning it will be conveyed to
Baltimore by the nine O'Clock train of cars, ac-
companied by the Roman Catholic clergy Of this
District. We further understand that the fune-
raj will take place in Baltimore on Saturday

As to whether the right whales to be found
In the high northern ATTITUDES in our winter, in
high southern ATTITUDES in summer, when the
whalemen do not visit such latitudes, of the
chart does not show. Thus. between 500 and
60o NJ, 1902 and 1859 w., we only know that
whales are abundant from May to September, inclu-
sive. We know not to the other months, be-
cause the night and cold then drive the whalemen
from this part Of the ocean, and cannot say any
thing TO the numbers in which the fish resort
there then. The charts are therefore silent on the
subject.
It's the same at the SOUTH in its seaaons; that is
when it is winter there the whalemen abandon tho
high ATTITUDES, and seek their game in more ge-
NAL climates.
But, seeing the abundance ofwhales in the Green
land and Arctic in summer season, and
seeing that they have not been sought for in SINH
lar ATTITUDES south. invite the attention of whale.
men to the subject of southern whaling in south
summer time.
Below the parallel Of 500 S.-indeed with here
and there an excepton-I might say that, below the
parallel of 4So S., the whale chart is blank;
sequently few vessels go beyond that parallel. The
indications to the chart are that somewhere to the
south of these parallels, and between these meri-
dians, as given below, whales probably TO be
found in considerable numbers. if not In greater
quantities viz:

TO know where whales are NOT to be found, as "a
know where they are; for this is case in which
negative information is almost as valuable that
which is positive.
have therefore selected from the whale chart
those districts of the ocean in which most whales
haze been found in former years. whether they have
changed their places Of resort my Information does
not enable me to say.
But according to the chart, which is constructed
for the whole ocean, in the manner already cx-
planned, these are places in which most whales
haze been found, and which it may be supposed now
afford the beet whaling grounds.
