Major General SCOTT returned to the seat Of
government yesterday forenoon in excellent health,
We understand, considering the protracted journey
and fatguing which he has just gone through
A large number of citizens assembled at the Rail-

Last night the Wings of the city assembled in
great numbers at the Club Saloon, and with band
OF music marched in procession to General SCOTT 5
residence, and gave him an enthusiastic welcome
home. The huzzas of the multitude brought the
General out, when WALTER LENox, ESQ.,, addressed
him in warm and enthusiastic speech Of nearly a
quarter OF an hours duration, which was Justly
much admired. General ScoTT replied in equally
cordial and fervent TERMS thanking the large assem-
bly, of his felow-citizens for their very friendly
greeting on his return home after several weeks alb
sence, and expressing the kindest sentiments to-
wards his neighbors and friends, of all ranks and
names, composing the good people of Washington

THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.

We observed in one of the New York papers of
the 2lst instant, under the caption Of s:tbortaat
from Washington" letter from Washington to
the Editors, of which the following is an extract
81 hear it stated to-day from such source as seems
correct that Mr. JOHN p KENNEDY the Secretary of the
Navy, has ordered Capt PORTER of the Crescent C to
repair to Washington give account to the Govern
ment of his recent transactions at Havana The Pre-
sident and Cabinet have had the matter under consi-
deraton at the request of Mr. CALDERoY DE LA BARcA
and it is surmised that Government has dsapproved
the conduct of Capt Porter and will withdraw him from
the Crescent City, and order him sea Immediately"
We have taken some pains to inform ourselves
correctly this subject, and have learned from an
authentic source that the letter. in all its material
statements, is tissue of Misrepresentation
. 1t is true that the Secretary of the Navy has
ordered Lieut.. PORTER to repair TO Washington ;
but this done, not at the request of the Span
ish Minister, but from his own sense of what was
proper under the circumstances of the case Com
plants have been made from various quarters of
the conduct of the authorities of Cuba in regard to
the " Crescent City," and it was therefore deemed
advisable to ascertain from Lieut. Porter in person
what were the facts of the affair When they shall
have been made known to the Government it will
have the means Of deciding what course it will be
proper to pursue

basely abusive, false, and scandalous Memoir Of
General Scott is circulating through the mails under
the frank of Hon. C. III. Peasee, Democratic member
Of Congress from New Hampshire and bosom friend Of
Franklin Pierce. shame Rochester american.
Shame is lost upon such persons, though one oc-
cupying the position Of member of Congress ought
to be above the circulation of gross calumny
against man of the character of Gen. Scott But
the Democracy every where are desperate and the
New Hampshire branch of the party reckless as
well as desperate. We hear of no less than seven
prominent New Hampshire Locofocos who are in
Pennsylvania working for Pierce and King and that

number They dare not allow the Pennsylvanians
to do their OVID thinking or their own voting.
