"
The administration are astoniohed with the news
received bv the Asia They have official advces
confirming the HeraId's report of the backing ou
OF Louis Napoleon IN The Soule affair. Piece at
tects extreme delight but Marcy suspects there is
something sill behind. And SO iere is. il iscov
cred up in The following advices received here by
Tho laSi steamer
A very warlike despatch has come TO hand from
Buchanan touching our relation with France in con.
necion with The San iwich Islands, Cuba ,Ihe Dillon
affair al San Francisco, the ST. Domingo nligues
and The Soule question. "Old Buck" in the des.
patch urges he most decisive measures--a power
tul navy-he immediate annexation OF Cuba, al ali
hazards. No time 10 be lost We must defy
France-EneIand will stand of-and in lelying
France we may trighten Spain out OF the laiind-
81 The faithful island of Cuba y He opposes
any immediate acton concerning the Sandwich Is
lands. They will keep. He goes for Cuba before
anything else, and TO the exclusion oil everything
else which may interfere with Cuba.
Marcy will resist this programme, and will have
TO so out. He is too slow--he Kitchen Cabinet
are in the conspiracy. They believe that the Pes
idenls position can be only retrieved by war, or a
strong couner excitement on our foreign affairs
against The political revulsion at home II Marcy
goes out, the plan OF Souls and Co. is TO put Bu
chanan in his place. The Presidents message to
Congress will probably tell The whole story. The
issue is between the Congress a, Os'end and oul
Premier. II lie totmer iTumphs weare auhorZ
ed 10 say that we shall have Cuba in less than six
months--no mailer how. II the more pacific poll
cy Of Marcy is adopted by The President, IS re-
ported that Snue and Buchanan will resign and re
turn home 10 agitae The question here-Sanders re
naming 10 keep The pot boiling on the other side
Soue, ii is said, will mol return 10 Madrid lhfo
Ffance-wl moi even 20 to Paris 10 parIake of The
banqul proposed TO be given him there; but will
take the steamer San Jaolnto at Southampton, di
rect for Spain, the ship having been detained by
Mr.. Bucnanan for that purpose. But, in The mean
time, ii is feared that The revolutionary affiliations
OF Soul, in London will result in sull more agra
valins complications with France and SPAIN
Hence Marcy is gloomy and laci arn. He evident
ly suspects the plot against hm--lhe troubles in
embryo-and is sorely prepleXed-P will mol
listen 10 the recall OF Soule matters stand. They
have gone 100 far. Marcy WILL therefore, be com
PEELED 10 allow our fillbuserng minister to run la
the end Of his ieher. Soue and his fre-eang di
plomatic associates have Thus secured the upper
hand over Marcy and he is po~erIess Sone i:
particularly al The head of The European affairs
and il will go hard if we do not obtain red ho
war, or as beaulifu! a quarrel with France and
Spain as the Cuban Jun'a could desire. Que thing
ls almost cerlain-we shall either have Jolly
row" with France and Spain or a revolutionary fus:
in The family al Washington.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. l5.-Lctters received

captor OF Gen, Lopez succeeded in making his
escape. The funeral cortege of the murdered
man was composed entirely of the police force

der of the Government.
The Indignation of the populace at this pro.
ceedlng was very great and the procession was
frequently insulted by opprobious cries from the
people, which initiated the members of the po-
lice to so high "a degree that they attacked the
people, and several were killed and wounded in
the atfray.
Large bodies of troops were ordered out, and

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF PREMoNITIoN.-
The n. Y. Com. Advertiser relates the following
singular incident, connected with the late Arctic
catastrophe:
We have heretofore mentioned tho death of a
son of Mr.. George 6. Smith of the firm of Leupp
Co., one of the passengers supposed to have
persisted in the Arctic. We have since been in
formed of an incident worthy of record, and upon
an authority that does not admit of disbelief
The death of the younger Mr.. Smith took place
ON the I'D of October, six days subsequent to the
Arctic's disaster, and before she could be fairly
considered as overdue, being then only thirteen
days out from Liverpool. Previous to his de-
cease he informed his relatives that his father
was dead, and that he had had an interview with
him. 1t was suggested to him that this was
merely drean-he said that he knew it, never
theless he was firmly persuaded of the truth of
the revelation, and that his friends would also
speedily be convinced Of its verify.

OFFICE VIRGINIA CENTRAL X. X. Co. !
Richmond, June 21st, 1854.
SAINT. G.. STAPLES ESQ
Dear Sir-You have probably observed that
a public meeting Of the people of kanawha have
/ proposed "A Convention at the White Sulphur
Springs in the month of August. the object Of
which Is Ia promote the success of the Coyng
ton x Ohio Railroad. One Of the resolutions of
the kanawha meeting advocated the calling an
extra session of the Legislature. As far as ! am
informed, the friends of the Coyington and OHIO
Road in eastern Virginia do not sustain the pol
10y OF calling an extra session. They are suits
fed the requisite signatures for call cannot be
obtained. and, if they could be, no good result
can be expected from reassembling the present
elected members. They believe the present
Legislature does not truly reflect the sentiments
of the State, aud an important object which may
lie effected by the Convention will be to Obtain "A
renewed expression of as large portion OF the
State as possible in favor of that work as the
great Central feeder of the Canal and the Rnil
rond connected with it directly or indirectly.
The friends Of this Improvement believe that it
is important to counteract the efforts that are
now being made to supersede ii by the adoption
Of the New River project which they feel conf
dent, if it ever should be made will not secure to
Virginia the Western. trade. | hope you will
cause "A meeting to be held in your county to
send delegates to the proposed Convention
The day first named is thought to be too early
and it is proposed To hold it Thursday the 9th
Of August being more convenient for the peo-
pie of Eastern Virginia. Delegates to the Con
vention will be carried over the road free OF

AN AMERICAN VESSEL FIRED INTO.

The steamer Bay City, at Rio de Janeiro in dis
tress, reports that in endeayoring to make Rio,
she fired at three times by the English naval
brig Bonita, TO make her heave to- though after
three previous blank shots had been fired. the
steamer being under sail, had waited for the brig
to come up, and had her flag flying. This is the
captains story. who adds that when the steamer
was boarded the English officer asked why he had
not heaved TO, 10 which he replied that he had
done so, before the shots were fired. The steam
er's papers were examined, and the fact of her
having been boarded noted on the log. 1t seems
that the English were looking out for Russian
frigate supposed to be somewhere on the coast
The L. 5. Consul at Rio made a record of the
fncts, and has sent it home to the government at
Washington.
