A DIscEAcEFUL BACK OUr.-It will be seen
by the following despatch received yesterday
afternoon from u friend in Washington CITY,
that President Fillmore and his uble Cabinet
have made another disgraccful back out. Call
ing Lieut.. Porter to Washington City, and
taking off the line the mail steamer Crescent
City, and substituting the Georgia, is, in our
opinion, nothing moro nor less than IN arknow-
Judgement and submission to petty Spanish
tyranny, which if exercised towards British
subject on British vessel, would have called
forth Il feet, that would, ere this. have drmul-
ed the Moro Castle, and put an end to Spanish
insolcnce. If the Crescent City is taken off
the line, the owners can find profitable imploy-
ment for her, and We sincerely hope that Lieut.
Porter and pursrr Smith will be retained in
their present situation. They are worthy of
it, and had The present administration Il particle
of their patriotism or pluck, the name of an
American would be as good pass word in
