Renark;ng on the ravagcs of the pestilence
at New Orleans the Baltimore American says,
the total population ofthat city does not exceed
10000, and is probably at this time under
100000. The awful mortality Of 1000 deaths
a week. as stated in our despatch, is almost an
actual defamation of the population--a death
out of every hundred persons-and ifcontnu.
ed for ten weeks would carry tenth OF the
population to the grave. We can scarcely
adequately appreciate, at this distance, the
sickness. sorrow and suffering that must now
be enacting their dreadful role in our sister city
But we can comprehend enough to awaken
our deepest sympathy, and to make US anx
ious to bear our par, in whatever can be done
to alleviate the terrors the scourgc.

Of the ablest and most influential Democratic
papers in the Union. speaks in the following
terms Of President Picrce's policy;

has gone counter to the public intention, and
has committed capital error We express
this opinion with deep sorrow. We have no

TEE SLAVE TRADE IN CuBAss~The English
press boldly charge the Spanish goserunient with
Gonniving at the slave trade and very forcible
article upon the subject, published in the Lon
don Times, contains the following significant de-
claration
BETTER that the Lone Star of America
should reyoutionize Cuba; that the authority of
| the Court of Madrid should be expelled from its
most valuable remaining colony-than that it
should be allowed to renew in all its ancient
denominations the outrages on Africa. And this,
1t is to be hoped Lord John Russell and his
forthcoming successor, the Earl of Clarendon,
Will plainly tell the Court of Madrid. The Br-
tish nation and government can take no interest
in the retention of Cuba by Spain, whilst Spain
refuses to do, which recent experience has do
nonstrated she can easily do-suppress and ter
inmate the slave trade in that island 1t is useless
longer to argue or to demonstrate with such
Court as that of Madrid for reason and remon-
STRANGE, it Is now Indispensable to substitute a
determination that cannot be disregarded.''
Lord John Russell, the present Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, and Lord Clarendon, his success
sor, are called upon to strike decisive blow at
the trade. The Spanish government, it is al
legged, are continually insisting in their official
communications to British Ministers, upon the
dangers which surround the West Indian colonies
OF Spain, and upon their own inadequate means
of defence. But, says the Times:
at the Spanish government wishes to obtain
the earnest support of England in defence of
those possessions, should they be menaced or at
tackled by any foreign power, the very first con
diton must be the cessation of that traffic whic h
has enriched so many successive Capital Cone
rails of Cuba. and has SO long violated the most So
emn obligations and promises Of the Spanish
| Crown"
The Daily News, announces that the admi-
rally have lately issued orders to despatch seve-
raj swift steamers to the coast OF Cuba, for the
purpose ofentorcing the treaty obligations; and
their presence may also operate check upon
any lingering disposition of invasion, should such
a feeling anywhere exist.
