ton he failed to render his account to the
Treasury Department. Mr. Tolcott, his sue.
cessor, was promptly appointed, and, with the
United States district attorney, was instructed
to investigate the condition Of his (R % affairs
with the Government as thoroughly as could
be done without the accounts withheld by him
In the mean time, he was sued for the PEN
alties asse sable under the laws for his failure
to render his accounts. The result of the
investigation above referred has been the dis.
covery of proof Of his defalca.ion for large
amount-judged here to be perhaps sl0o, 600
On this proof he has been indicted for the
felony, and up to yesterday was not to be
found. 1t was yesterday supposed in Oswego,
that he was somewhere about this city, which
is hardly probable, we presume.
The Spanish Revolution will be recol.
lected that some two months ago, Wa took &C.
casior, in writing Of the condition of Europe,
to exrlain how and why it was that TIT, first
serious continental revolution would occur in
Spain. Already that prediction FOUNDED on
information only obtainable, on this side Of
the Atlantic, in Washington city,) has been
confirmed. Letters received by variops par.
ties here this morning from London, Paris and
Madrid, confirm our previous expectations of
the serious character of this contest. It is
not to be doubted that the revoluti"ni.ts who
have hoisted the republican banner, already
have the upper hand in Madrid and also in
Barcelona and elsewhere in the Provinces
Though General o. Donnell is tho nominal head
| of the revolution; in London and Paris, it is
understood by the best informed persons, that
Espartero, "a sincere Republican, and the
leader Of the Spanish Progressists,) is the real
head Of tho movement, and that Narvaez will
very probably soon be found to be engaged
with him.
So far as the future of Cuba Is to be affected
by the result Of this revolution, we have to
say, that be that result as it may, it cannot
| fail to hasten our acquisition of the Island
| If the revolutionists triumph for any consid-
cradle time, thcy will gladly transfer it to US
for a consideration. If the present govern.
ment are the victors, they will return to tho
government without o dollar in hand, and
with no other means of obtaining money than
| the sale of the Islaad to the United States
Thus Providence is working in our favor, as it
| were.
