70 FLLlBusrERs The Presidcn,
has at length in clear and unequivo.
cal manner pronounced his will in a
Proclamation. relative to Cuban af.
fairs, that at the first blush would
seem to depreciate tho zone million
stock already invested according to
the Picoyune's account in Colts pis-
tolls for Cuba.
"The President says that informa-
ton has been received that persons in
tho United States have been engaged
in organizing and fitting out an expe.
di'on against Cuba, for the purpose
Of invading that island, and pro.
nounccs all such movements dcrogato-
ry to the character Of the nation, a
violation Of national obligations, and
high misdemeanor. The President
therefore warns all persons that the
General Government will intcrpose to
preserve the public tranquility from
breaches in every quarter, and will
prosecute all offenders. lie exhorts
all offenders to discountenance the FL
libusters, and calls on the United
States officers, district attorneys, col.
lcctors, and other authorities, civil and
military, to use all their efforts and
powers for the purpose Of preserving
