UThe following are the resolutions adotp-
ed with entire unanimity by the meeting at
Banks Arcade on Thursday night:
RESOLVED, That the citizens of New Orleans
regard the recent action of the Government of
Cuba, in refusing to admit the Crescent City,
an American ship, bearing the American mail,
and having on board a number of American CT
tizens, into the port of Havana, for statements
reported to have been made by the Purser of
said ship, within the United States, as a high
handed act, a violation of the treaty of Amity
and Commerce between Spain and the United
States, an insult to our flag, and an outrage
upon the rights of our citizens. m

pected to demand and enforce indemnity for the
past and security for the future, in regard to

Orleans visitors from this section, and all such

experienced and very popular l~essees, Messrs.
YOUNG & EvrRITT, it has undergone so many
new and desirable alterations intern"ily--ade de-
s%cription of which we must defer lor the pre-
sent--as to render it almost another hotel in

Gen. Scott in Pennsylcania.-You may de.
pend on it, Pennsylvania must be put down for
Scott. The State of Pennsylvania is a singu-
lar one. 1t seems disposed to take the lead in
nominating and supporting Generals for the
Presidency. A few young men in Harrisburgh
first nominated General jackson for that office,
and he was elected. General Harrison was the
~favorite candidate Of the State in 1910, and he
too " as elected. 1t was Pennsylvania that de-
cided the election of General Taylor. And now
she is going, heart and soul, for General Scott,
and | shall not be surprised to see him elected.

PLAQUEMHNE:
Saturday, October 16, 1854.

DOur subscribers, and those who are in
arrears for advertisements or job work, must
not be offended if they think our bills are pre-
scented at rather an early date. Our terms are
necessarily in advance-our dues are small
and while it can make no difference at what sea-
son each pays his insignificant amount, it makes
q very great difference with US. Moreover, the
times are severer upon US than they have ever
bees, and forces us to collect close. Mr.. s. C.
TREVOR is our general collector, and we trust
that our friends will be prepared to cancel our
small claims when he calls upon them.

Parish Internal mprorements.--It will be
seen, by reference to the police jury proceed
ings, that liberal appropriations have been
made to finish the cut-of road across Iberville
Point, and to improve the Crosse Tete road
from Indian Village to the Portage. We have
hitherto advocated these very measures, and
we are particularly pleased to see that the
majority Of the members who compose the
police jury entertain views similar TO those
which we have hitherto expressed. The max
ing and repairing of roads, and similar improve.
ments, is certainly the legitimate duty of the
parechial authorities, and all such measures
cannot fail to advance the prosperity of the
parish and rebound to the honor of those who
create them. 1t will be perceived likewise
which will add much to the value of that -four
ishing region--that a road is to be opened on
the east bank Of Bayou Crosse Tete, making
another road district. for which Mr.. P. P. SUGG
was elected commissioner.

whatever losses they nave Incurred. He, how
ever, agreed with the last speaker. He did not
believe that Spain would make any apology or
reparation, and her refusal would provoke 4
contest. What then? Then we are right, and
then we can appeal to the God Of Battles, who
is also the God of Freedom. If reparation
should be refused, then another star would be
added to the constellation that already CLEANS
upon our banner--a constellation which is on
the increase, and which will continue to increase
until the whole continent is united in one glo-
rious brotherhood of independent States. The
cheers which went up when Mr.. Ben amin con-
cluded, appeared to shake the earth, and were
continued for several minutes.
These are but meagre sketches of the elo-
quent remarks delivered by the gentlemen,
which were listened to by the immense assem-
blage with a silent attention only interrupted
BY enthusiastic cheers and shouts when some
particular point struck a sympathetic chord in
their feelings.
Several other gentlemen addressed the prin-
cipal meeting from the great stand, Other
meetings were organized at the City Hall, on
the steps of the Presbyterian Church, and in
St. Francis street, alongside the American thea
tire. These were each surrounded by a crowd
of enthusiastic listeners, and many effective
speeches were made, but our limits will not
permit us to give them more than this passing
notice.
There were several bands of music on the
ground, and a number of banners and transpa-
%rencies, and at the conclusion a beautiful piece
of fireworks by Gator illuminated the scene.

Important from Washington We learn,
by telegraph to the Picayune, that it is under
stood that the Government has taken the most
prompt and decided measures to ascertain the
exact truth of the reports concerning the out
rage on the Crescent City by the Spanish au-
thorities at Havana. If these reports prove TO
Be entirely correct, (says the despatch,) the Uni
ted States Government will demand instant
satisfaction for the insult. A special agent is
TO be despatched to Havana on a Government
vessel to investigate the matter promptly and
thoroughly. ' 7.@'
The Feeling in New York,--Another des-
patch in the same paper, states that the Scott

in reference to the outrage. The other Wing
clubs Of the city participated in the movement.

xed him by the pants, and not only frighten-
ed him considerably. but deprived him o.

have torn him to pieces, had il not been
for The timely assistance Of the young lady
whom he was serenading and her mother,

Romantic Lover,
JEEMS.

A romatic story is related Of An English
man, who sought the hand of very
charming lady with whom he was passion
atsly in love, but who constantly re-
fused him. As he had reason TO believe
abe loved him, he entreated to know the
reason why she refused her consent to
their union The lady, subdued by his
constancy, told him taat her only motive
Tor refusing him was, that having by an
accident lost leg, it had been replaced
oy wooden one, and she feared that
sooner or later this circumstance would
chill his affection for her. This she declared
to be her only motive. The lovor pro-
tested that this would never make him
change his love, but she persisted in refu-
sing to marry him. Fired with love, and
determined that nothing should obstruct
his design, he, under the pretence of
going distant voyage; left his lady and
hastened to Paris, where he had one Of
his own legs a.nputated. When he re-
covered, he returned to Loudon, went to
the lady, and told her that there was now
no obsticlc to their union, for that he was
equally mutilatcd as herself The lady,
conquered by such proof of affection, At
last consented to marry him.
