There is rumor afoat here that i've hundred men
have been enlisted in this city for the Cuban expedi
ton; but, if truet must have been done in more than
ordinary quiet. A letter from Old Point Comfort,
IN the Sun this morning, containing the following
Item, seems to give semblance of truth to the
rumor: " On the night of the 18th suspieous-Iook.
ing steamer came into Hampton Roads, with large
number of men on board, and, after communicating
with the shore left early the following morning."
We take the above from the Baltimore Correspon-
denee of the Washington Union. There seems to be
room to doubt the truth of the new Cuban expedition.
1t may be that something OF the sort is on foot. II
80, we shall soon know.

KOSSUTH.

1t is stated that dispatches have been received at
Washington, from Mr.. McCurdy, United States
Charge at Vienna, announcing that the Austrian gov
eminent had refused the application of the Sultan of
Turkey to release Kossuth and the Hungarian Pari-
OTIS from confinement. By compact between Aus
tria and Turkey, the latter power charged with
and accepted the surveillance of these exies, num-
berng several hundreds; but finding the expense of
their maintenance becoming burdensome, Turkey aP-
piled to be released from the incumbrance. PERMITS
sion was granted to all except Kossuh and eight
ten others.
1t is ssid that an urgent appeal in behalf of Kos
suth, will be addressed to Austria by our government.

The NEXT CoNGREss--lt is somewhat early to
attempt estimating the manner in which the new
apportionment, provided by the act of May 23d
1850, will affect the several States regards the
distribution of represen tatives. The act provides
that the whole number of members shall be z33 ;
and, the entire population of the country is
rated at above twenty three or twenty three and
half millions, it is computed that the constituency
will be, in round numbers, 100000. Taking this
as the basis. and calculating from mixed returns
and estimates of population, the apportionment
among the States would seem TO be somewhat as

LAKE SUPERIoR.-Six years ago, there were but
two vessels Of any kind this inland sea, and no
more than one or two white families between the
Sault ST. Marie and La Pointc, distance of four
hundred miles Now there three large pro-
pellers six eight sail vessels, four light houses,
and several thousand inhabitants scattered along
the coast The climate is healthul and invigora-
ting; the water pure and transparent; the fish
abundant and most delicious; the soil produces the
finest potatoes and other vegetables in the world,
and copper iron, and other valuable minerals are
found in inc xha ustible quantities.
A ship canal of less than mile in length, at a
cost of not over half million of dollars, would
connect this rich and extensive mineral lake region
with all the commercial ports of the world.

From MIsNEsoTA.-The st. Paul Chronicle and

church. with tower and bell, was nearly fin
shed there also two mills iron foundry is to be
established there in the spring, when considerable
number Of new brick houses will be built, prepara-
tions for which are now making. The brick yard
at the back OF the upper town would then be work
ed again, with powerful brick pressing machine
attached. We clip the following items from the
above named paper:
We hear sad accounts from above Of the condi-
ton Of the Indians, and it is very probable there
will be great suffering among them this winter.
The non reception of the annuities will be the
cause of distress. The Chppewas have al
most entirely failed in their fishery, the supply
of twine for their nets not having arrived in due
season.
The steamer Yankee brought up another body OF
Wnnebagoes on their way to the upper country.
They in charge of Mr. Olmsted, who
promptly forwarded them in wagons to their de-
stination.
Governor Ramsey has removed to his new man
sion in the upper town. 1t isa large and very hand
some cdiice, and occupies most commanding po-
sition.
During the past season the erection of buildings
in st. Paul and it's vicinity has been much hndered
by the want Of a proper supply of lumber, and, in
many cases, dwellings have been put up Of green
and bad stuff for the that none other could
be obtained except at exorbtant prices. Had there
been more mills early last year, our thriving town
would present far better appearance than it does
now; becase there would be greater number of
dwellings, stores, etc, than can now count and
the structures would be of Extensive charac
ter, and handsomer in appearance.

FRoM YucATAN.We have before the Cam
peachy Rax0n of December 3D., from which we
learn that the state of affairs in Yucatan by no
means favors the cause of the whites The war
with the Indians, which for 30 long period has dis
tracted the country, 30 far from approaching
mination appears to be more undecided than ever.
The papers filled up with official reports of
marches and counter marches, in all of which ma
nUuvresehe whites claim the advantage, but no.
thing definite has occurred, and the general result
of recent operations seems to favor the insurgents
With this bad prospect before them, the Spaniards
cannot preserve harmony among themselves. They
are constantly quarrelng even to the face of their
savage foes. At Vaadolid great discomfort was
manifested in the army, and it supposed that
a pronuncianiento against the supreme government
was in preparation On the other hand, the Gov
ernor Of the State, the Commandant General, the
Commissary General, and General Lopez de Llergo
had amicaby arranged their difficulties, and had
announced determination to work together in fu
ture.
On the whole it appears to us that Yucatan is in
a bad way.-N. o. Picayune.
