Most Important from Spain-An the Black
Warrior Trouble settled.-Ihis mornings
mail brought dispatches coming by the. Gu
nard steamer Asia) to most of the European
Legations in Washington, and also, We take it
for granted, to tho American Foreign Affairs
Department. .>e go -@'-
We Learn that various of the foreign minis
tiers resident here have positive information Of
the harmonious and dntire settlement of the
Black Warrior affair Spain RENTS the fine
of Sc, 900 exacted Of the owners Of the ship,
disclaims any intention of insulting the Amer
lean flag in what transpired on her part in the
course of the affair. and orders her regulations
&c, for the port of Havana TO be 80 altered
as will practically guarantee American COM
merce hereafter from liability to any such
injury as occurred to it in the case in question
Our readers may rely on the correctness of
this information, for at least two of the lega-
tons received it officially this morning.
Lieut.. Beale's Accom-; az Superintendent
Of Indian Affairs in California.-The sum
total which this gentleman has received for
| disbursement as Superintendent of Indian At
| fairs in California Is some $3.50, 900, having
| accounted up to this time for the expenditure
of not more than fifth of it, according to the
understanding around Washington. 1t is
further understood that the approaching in
vestigation into the condition Of his affairs with
the Government, will certainly involve q
thorough overhaulipg of the now celebrated
beef contract, the paternity of which is credit
ed to Col. Fremont, and which, with the ac-
counting officers, are said to believe Lieut.. 3
to have been nightly mixed up It is due tc
that gentleman, however, that we should
write that, from our knowledge of his charac.
ter as man, we take it for granted that wher
his explanations reach " Washington, they will
completely relieve him from any other charge
than that of indiscretion. He is a heightened
man, ard if he has done wrong, it arises from
|
ness affairs rendered him liable to be influ
enced by sinister people. fat
| 1t is further understood here that Lieut.
Beale was absent from his duties, not Ions
since, without leave. Indeed, according Il
information said to be in possession Of thu
Indian bureau, he was in Washington City
and Philadelphia incog, while there was Sc
rious question as to the propriety of his unex
planned expenditures. His failure to take tina
opportunity to endeavor to explain them ha
probable been main ground for his recen
removal.
