MADRID, March %, 1852.
JAS. GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.
SIR
Enclosed I band you copies of letters I have
addressed to Gen. Concha and to Mr.Webster, the
subject Of cancellations of American citizens in
Cuba. I have only dealt with facts in these COM
munications, leaving to ADLER and better pens the
developing Of the great principles and the points of
international law, which the question involves.
The subject is of Importance, not only for its
own individual merits but also for its bearing upon
the position Of our citizens in all foreign countries.
Trade or pleasure take countrymen to all parts
Of the world, and although am not an advocate
for system of bullying foreign powers, would be
glad to see, and believe would every American,
a new policy instituted by our general government
m regard to the interests and protection of cti-
zens abroad. We have too long acted upon the
principles that every one treats us with the same
sorupulous regard to justice, with which we treat
them. Had we acted with somewhat different
policy perhaps war with Mexico, or an expedition
to Japan, might have been avoided. l have the
honor to be, Your obedent servant
j. S. THRAsHER.

Personal HoHoR OF GEN. ScoTT.-What-
ever may be said of the bravery OF the Wing
candidate for the Presidency, qualification
which nearly every American soldier pos
sesses in the highest degree, Gen. Jackson's
opinion of his honor as a gentleman is fully,
justified by the fact that after having beet
taken as prisoner at Queenstown, and dis
charged on parol, he broke his parol and was
found under arms before being exchanged
or discharged. We are assured that this can
be verified by the best evidence.-BufaIO
Courier.
Yesterday we copied from the News
I'charge,c: Corardics against Gen. Scott
To-day we, have from the Buffalo Courier an
accusation of Uiskonor. The one complains
that Gen. Scott "squa:ted on the ground" to
avoid an adversary's FIRE. The other asserts
that he "broke has paror' in his haste to
serve again against his country's enemies.
The consistency of these accusations is no
less striking than the chivalrous, patriotic
spirit which prompts them. II is such
glorious service to rob an old Soldier Of his
laurels, and to impute Cowardice to Hero
whose honorable scars bear mute but elo-
quent witness to his gallant bearing. Shame,
shame upon the ibellers.-Mil,oaukie Sent.

CoxGR9ss.-Both branches of Congress
have fxedon the 3lst of August for adjourn
msnt. The session will then have contin-
ued nine months, and the cost to the coun-
try for per diem of members alone will ex-
ceed 100000. The mileage and extras
will swell the amount to the neighborhood
of a million. Nine-tenths of the nine months
session has been devoted to doing nothing,
or what is worse, political speeches for Bun
combe. The General Appropriation bills
now under consideration in the House, and
must go to the Senate ten days before the
close of the session. Not much else but
the passage Of this, of importance, will prob
ably be done. Mr.. Seymour, Chairman of
the Committee on Commerce, has concluded
not to report his Canadian Reciprocity Bill
this session. The Harbor and River Bill,
the Postage Bill, the Homestead Bill and
Benefits Land Bill are all before the Sen
ate, and it is quite probable all will go by
the board.-Clere. Herald.

"BE Firm, Boz 5, ASD STEADY, AND wB'LI
TEEL THEIR PULSES ON THE HEIGHTs. ."--Gen.
Scott is remarkable for his terse and laeon-
&c style Of giving expression to his thoughts
when addressing his soldiers. His despatch
es are distinguished for the same thing.
The Loekport Courier records an illustration
Of this truth. We quote from the Courier:
Conyersing recently with one Of our old
est subscribers in this county, who is one of
the veterans Of Lundy's Lane, he gave US
some new ideas Of Gen. Scott's valor and
energy in that desperate battle. The old
Soldier while rehearsing the stirring scenes
OF that campaign, while bis bright eye fash
ed, and his tsllform was drawn erect,
"Shouldered his cane
And fought his battle o'er again"
He accompanied Miller in his desperate
and successful struggle to dislodge the enc
my's battery on the eminence; and while
, darkness reigned supreme, while the full orb
ed moon was obscured by clouds, while the
booming Of cannon, the clashing of arms. and
the never-dying rumbling ofthe mighty Cat
aract was heard, Scott piloted the patriotic
little band to certain point, and as the
death dealing hail of the enemy was whist
/ ling in every direction, the hero Scott rose
I up in his stirrups, and addressed the troops
| in these brief but emphatic wOrds;--- Be firm
b0,s, and steady, and neil feel their pulses on The
heighLs" HIS words were as true as lacon-

g A Boy SAVED FROM DRowNING BY A Doc.
An interesting scene occurred on Sunday
last at Hoboken. A boy about ten years of
age, while playing on the bank of the river,
fell in, and the current being very powerful,
he was carried along with great rapidity. Of
those who saw him fall in, not one would
risk his life in an attempt to save him.
When all hope appeared to be lost, large
dog named Rolla, belonging
to Mr.. Adams, of Courtland street. New
York, leapedinto the river, and seizing the
boy by the collar, held his head above the
water untiihe brought him safe to shore.
The dog, it is said, had to swim distance oI
two miles before he could get landing place
and was then so tired that he sank exhaust.
