"The subject Of the annexation Is being
freely discussed in all circles; 1t Is the great
measure Of the day here. The natiVesare

measure in their own language. As mat
ter Of course there are two parties on this
great measure-the annexation party and
the anties-the former comprise nine-tenths
Of our planters, merchants and business
men: the latter party or "anties," Is head
ed by the French Commissioner, and Bit
ish Consul General, and composed of'slch
satellites as they can draw from their own
countrymen and few renegade Americans
A party thus composed Of rag-tag and
bobtail, are capable Of resorting to the
lowest means Of political warfare. They
do not hesitate to circulate among the ha-
tives the grossest falsehoods; such as that
the annexationists desire to make slaves Of
them-that in the United States they buy
and sell all people Of dark coloT-that 20
treaty stipulation would be regarded bI
that country, &c. The doubt thus thrown
upon the native mind, forms in tact the on

B9- The Baltimore Patriot expresses
the opinion that the war on the Eastern
Question will be Of short duration, and as
signs, among other reasons, the following :
Not only England and France, but all
monarchial Europe are looking with anx-
iety upon the progress of the United States
One obvious consequence Of an obstinate
war, would be the rapid advance and es-
tablshed supremacy Of American COM
merce. Another would be, the immense
immigration Of mechRnics-who, preferring
cheap provisions and protection TO bran
bread and conscription, would move their
work-benches across the Atlantic, and thus
become within thirty days the competitors
Of those with whom they had learned their
trades A war in Europe is bounty to
the American farmer, and by raising the
wages and provisions Of foreign operatives,
is in effect protective tariff to our manu-
facturers. For this reason, the maritime
and manufacturing powers ought to termi-
nate this conservative war as soon as pos
sible. Besides, our relations with Spain
are becoming very intricate, and we have
been assured the alliance Of England and
France is not q mere partnership limited
to the protection of Turkey, but extends to
our own continent. Those powers there
fore feel more apprehensive about the fate
Of Cuba than Constantinople."

SecretaryofMe Territory Of Washington

CupA.-The Captain General Of Cuba
has published a proclamation in which he
decidedly denies the truth of the recent ru,
mors in regard to the Authorization oI
Cuba" 1.-THE Queen" he declares, twill
not distrub her Cuban subjects in the pos
session of their (slave) property legitimate
ly acquired" The official announcement,
it is to be believed, will leave the impetuous
Mr.. Slidell quite destitute Of what is called
by courtesy, argument, TO say nothing Of
the effect which it will have Of putting out
the pipe Of the Washington Union. Not
that, substantially, the proclamation makes
any difference for il the Capt General
should go to the extreme length Of inviting
over Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison TO super
intend immediate emancipation in Cuba
we really cannot see that it would be any
of our business. A thorough refutation o.
the rumor, will leave the Louisiana gentle
man without the shadow Of an excuse fol
his rascally resolutions Perhaps, for al
that, he might still press them with unaba
ted vigor 1t would be characteristic o.
the man, and in perfect keeping with the
whole measure.

A southern paper states that the annual
productions of Cuba comprise $l3, 500, ,00O
worth Of sugar tobacco to the amount oi
s., 100, 900; coffee $2,2lO, 900; corn, $2,,
900, 900 and other agricultural produc
tions, about 81, 900, 900. The grand total
Of her productions, including dairy and do.
mestic animals, averages $59, ,O0O, 900 per
annum. The population of the Island in
ls4I was 1907, ,624, including 4ls,39l
whites, 429, ,495 slaves, and 1888 free
colOred people The latter, We presume,
include the class known as emancipa-
dos, who are far from being free Five
years subsequently the white population
had increased 1886, while the blacks de-
creased 06,S72-making an aggregate
population then of but S98,75 In the
city and suburbs Of Havana, in IS4l, the
entire population was 100, $50. Five years
later, in ls46, it comprised but l2S, ,597
Cuba is 600 miles in length. In its mar
rowest part it is but 35 miles broad in its
broadest, 1872 miles. From the southern
part of Florida to the northern part of Gu
ba, the distance is Il3 miles.

nay We understand frcm Col. ANDERSON
that the Chief Justice received, by the last
mail, Treasury drafts to an amount sufficient
to pay off the grand and petit jurors who
served at the lastfegular terms of the U.
S. District Courts, and that these drafts
are now in the hands of the Marshal for
that purpose. AS soon as Col. ANDERSON
can get them converted into cash, the
proper amounts will be sent to the respect
i've counties. He desires that no juror will
transfer or otherwise dispose of his claim
at discount, as the full amount will be
paid TO each one.

TREATY WITH JAPAN. Com. Perry has
at last succeeded in making a treaty with
Japan. By the terms Of the treaty the
port of Simoda, near the entrance of the
bay of Yedo, is to be opened Immediately
to our vessels and commerce, and another
port in twelve months-that vessels in dis
trcss may put into any of their ports, and
receive relief and assistance, if compelled
by stress Of weather and inability to reach
the ports opened. Protection and care is
guaranteed to any Of our seamen who may
be cast upon the coast They also agree
to furnish us any amount of coal, at rea-
sonablc rates, that may be required for
our steamers, and provision is made for the
reception Of an American consul whenever
the Emperor or the President may think
it necessary. a treaty Of commerce was
expected to be negotiated soon.
The harbor Of Kakodah, to the north, is
very important one for our whalers, it
being easy of access, and just in their cruis-
ing track, while Simoda, at the south end
Of the island, will be valuable as depot
for coal when our steam lines are estab-
lished. Other ports will be opened hereaf-
ter, when the interests Of trade and com
merce demand it, but for the present 1t is
deemed. that the two conceded will be sufi-
cient
