The News IN Iuba-Thc Recept:o of the
CIescent City-Ehe IL n We Trads


We are still at peace with Spain. Purser Smith
continues to be an obnoxious Individual" The
Crescent City is safe in New York harbor. These
three facts perhaps farcical they impor
isn't. They are farcical, because of the repeated
threats Of the Cuban authorities not to allow the
Crescent City to land her mails; and important, be-
canse the authorities did not fire into and
sink that steamer, which many thought they would
do. We are to have another scene, however, and
then we suppose the affair will be settled. The
Crescent City is to return to Havana, and if Mr..
Smith is on board she is not to be allo we'd to enter
that port After that. nil.
But, in connection with the news from Cuba by
tie Crescent City, there is an interesting piece Of
intelligence that may be worth mentioning, and
which may turn out to be important. 1t is stated
that there were three English war steamers at
Havana, awaiting the result Of the Crescent City
affair." but we are informed that they we're there
for an entirely different purpose. We learn that
orders have lately been received in this country for
Admiral Seymour, commanding the British North
American feet, directing him to encir,le Cuba with
nep-of war, to put stop to the slave trade; and
the three war steamers were at Havana that mis-
sion We give clue to this movement in another
art of this mornings paper, where the report of
meeting held in Glasgow, relative to the slave
trade treaties, will be found, together with
ticle from English paper insimating the deter.
nination of that government to insist upon the full
elm mt of those treatie, with Spain. The meeting
was held two months ago, but we did not then con-
sder the proceedings of much Importance as they
have since assumed by these movements.
The slave trade, SO far as Brazil is concerned, is
rapidly dying out, by the exerons of that govern
nert; but with Cuba it is as rapidly increasing.
We should not therefore be surprised to have the
above statement fully confirmed What will be the
policy Of our government in this event !? win the
people of this country believe that the movement Of
England is wholly to suppress the traffic il slaves

ture the prediction that paramount object OF Gen.
Pierce, in all the measures of his administration, in
all the means, and in all the men, he will provide,
or faithfully sudesvor to provide against Garhinism
or Gardinesirm.
The foreign policy Of the new administration
covers broader, more complex and comprehensive
field of inquiry, and is Of tho very highest import
snce in relation not onlyto the progress and pros
perty OF our own country, eu. to the peace Of the
whole civilized world In this view on an early oc-

the treasury, while the other is kept wide rake for
the good Of the party.
In regard to the democratic legislative measures
OF the new administration, the democratic platform
is far more explicit than in respect to the highly
important matter Of the spells Of fifty millions
year. We have every reason to believe that Gen
Pierce from every consideration Of inclination, prin
eiple and duty, will adhere to the party platform We
may then very safely predict that the tariff Of
1916, which has worked SO well, will be per.
mittcd to remain substantially rs it is, un.
less the progressive doctrines OF FIRE, trade
should impefiously demand some mitigation Of
those duties which operate to the prot seton
Of y few monopolies than the replonishment Of the
treasury. We may take it for granted that there
will be n, extravagant appropriations made for
rivers and harbors, as the antecedents Of Con.
Pierce all have q deciied leading to rigid con-
s:ruction Of the constitution upon those things
The sub Treasury win Of course remain un-
touched the living law Of tho land. The Co upro-
mise measures will be enforced, including particu.
larry the Fugitive Slave law. This was the most
prominent issue, and the most important of the lae
election. We may expect, too, the adoption of
the prices Of the public lands unless the Senate
this winter sheu.d pass the bills already passed by
the House, for the grant Of some IS 900 900 OF
acres, and their distribution among the several
States, and for the grant of the entire public
domain to actual settlers in small farms. In the
event Of the passsge of this last bill Gen Pierce
will be saved all further trouble in regard to the
public lands and they will also cease to be an OBJ.
ject for railroad, canal plank road and other stock
jobbiDg operations in the valley Of the Mississippi
We must wait, upon the land question, the action
Of the Senate upon the aforesaid important bills,
and especially the Free Farm BILL before any thing
can be even conecured in relation to the policy Of
the new administration upon the land question
To sum up-we apprehend tina. the appointment
policy cf Gen Pierce will be the policy Of providing
for bis own party household 10 the exclusion Of the
Wigs. The man that does not provide for his own
house hold is worse than in6del" But we con-
clude that the work will not begin, beyond the cabi.

Of March next. We suppose, that in reference to
