intense heat Of the weather have prevented country
men from seeing and enjoying fair share Of the gaiety

IMPORTANT POLITICAL NEWS"

Under this head New York morning paper has
Geographic announcement from Washington that
" It IS rumoredo that Government has been adj
Vsed q the celebration Of treaty Between Spain and
Mexico for the remuneration Of the latter the former
which is folly first Or the despatch.
That this treaty . was solemny signed by Generals
CANEDo and SANTA ANNA while the latter was at Havana
subject to ratification by the Court of Madrid and by the
Mexicans as soon he should be firmly seated in the die
Mtoral chair These notifications have been received
winch Is folly second seeing that Canedo not only cannot
negotiate treaties between Spain and other Powers but
possesses not even diplomatic authority with respect to
the island he governs
Ihat 1T IS said" that expedition is organized on
the northern shore of Cuba destined to carry six
Spanish troops to Vera Cruz where they are to
the coup deat which Santa Anna has resolved to at
tempt Which is folly third for that if Spain contem-
plated such annexation she would employ larger force
and Cuba would be the last place in her domnons from
which she would take it,
That tho departure of the expedition will be the signal
for general insurrection the island The Cubans are
resolved not to let capital chance slip without at
tempting their emancipation" Which is folly fourth
because such prphecygs have been sproyed again and
again, even when there far greater probability than
now of their coming true
The fifth and browning folly of this marvellous despatch
is its closing paragraph 1t is really wonderful that any
man would repeat such oft-exploded nonsense:
gentleman who has the best opportunities Of ac-
quanng himself with the drift of things in Cuba
ana VINO possesses the confidence of Government writes
am told Judge Crawford, the newly appointed Consul
at Havana does not propose enter upon the duties
his office until October If this is So depend upon
Will never act consul The fate of the Spanish autho
rty will have been scaled ere then'''

Soon, with terrific force tie storm bursts upon the
squadron, enveloping it in driving scud and rain to

the victory belonged to the Arethusa while perhaps
majority supported the claims of the Pheton that dis

question: that the Leander, although fine ship never
rose in that squadron saier, above No. A in
stability, she No. 81 in staying she was No. A.;
but it admitted that Of all frigates' bows hers

In the trials that afterwards took place between the
