which reached New Ork last evening, an
nouncing the entire and amicable settlement
of the Black Warrior affair In addition to
RENTING the fine of six thousand dollars
imposed upon the steamer by the Cuban au-
thorities, Spain dsclaims all intention of
insulting the flag Of the United States, and
agrees that the port regulations of HAVANA
shall be so altered as TO guarantee American
commerce from all injury and interruption
in future. This intelligence has created the
liveliest satisfaction among the more mod
crate men in this city, but it does not ap.
pear TO meet with any great degree of ap-
probation from some who are anxious for
full and ample redress for all the other
grievances complained of in the Indictment
against Spain.
WASHINGTON, June 3.
The Presidents Proclamation against the
Fillibusters will have the happiest effect in
sustaining the national honor abroad, as well
as in re-assuring our own citizens in regard
to the stability and responsibility of our own
institutions learn that the President pre-
ceded the Proclamation with strict orders to
all federal officers, in different ports, to pre-
vent and break up the illegal expeditions con-
templated. The Government has had infor-
nation, for some time, that plan was ripen-
ing for descent from this country upon Gu
ba. One of the members of the Committee
of Foreign Affairs of the Senate, who had
become acquainted with the facts, correctly
urged the Secretary of State to attend to this
subject, and threatened to bring it before the
Senate and charge the Executive with a neg
lect Of duty. 1t has been stated, in the pa
pers, that n number of Senators wore present
at the early Cabinet Council, when the Pro-
camation was agreed upon. This is mis-
take. But some few Senators were consult
ed upon it. and it so happened that four
Senators, including Gen. Cass, were at the
Presidents House, and were invited into the
Council.

EXCITEMENT IN WAsHINGToN-A despatch
dated Washington the 3Oth, says :-Consd-
cradle feeling exists here among the Northern
members in consequence of an article in the
Star of this evening, which is construed to
bear an intmation of personal violence to Mr..
Sumner and other ant-Nebraska members of
Congress-. The article contains the follow
ing language: 'lf Southern gentlemen are TO
be threatened and assaulted while legally
seeking to obtain a possession of property,
for the use of which they have constitutions
al guarantee; if legal measures can only be
sought for and established at the bayonet's
point, certain men now in our midst will have
to evince little more circumspection than
they ever evinced, in their walk, talk and acts
If we contrast the treatment which South
ern STAKEHOLDER receives at the hands of
Northern abolitionists, with the treatment
which the latter receives at the hands of the
former, we may proudly assert that among
the many virtues which adorn the Southern
character, forbearance is not the least con-
spicuous.
