ARREST or THE POSTMASTER or New ORLEANS
On the affidavit of a confidential agent of the Gene
raj Post Office Department Of the United States the
Post Master Of the City Of New Orleans has been
charged with embczzlement and has been held to bail
tya Commissioner of the United States, to answer
the charge
The accused we learn from the Picayune ha.
deemed II due to his friends and the public generally
to state that that affidavit is wholly without founda
ton, and the aiant does net set forth single fac
within his own knowledge but asserts that he ha
reason to believe that what he says is true; and as
snres the public that not single well founded cir
cumstance can be addnced in support of the charge
or insinuations brought against him.
The examination was postponed until the flrs
Monday in May.

Hon. John s. Perkins, Jr.

The Congressional Convention Of the Third Dis
trict, which is to meet in Baton Rouge on the Thrd
Monday In June at the same time OF our Democratic
State Convention, will, no doubt, re-nomnate this
distinguished individual for reelection to Congress,
where he has already won for himself national re-
putation, as q statesman of the highest order
Among the Democracy OF the District there will not
be dissenting voice, and indeed many Of his polt-
cal opponents will be proud to do him honor, by vo-
ting for his return to position which he has hlled
satisfactorily alike to his friends and foes.
To have won for himself the proud appcllation oi
being one of the three great leaders Of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress" n the short space OF one
terms service, where there were 20 many Democrats
Of eminent abilities, is triumph not only for HIM
self but for the nation at large, as aordng another
eyidcucc Of the effect Of popular governments, In
early developing the minds and energier Of the
young men of the country, fitting them for high
public trusts at an carly age.
His bill to have our land regulations taken from
the general government and transferred to, and I'D
ministered by the States, theraby removing one oi
the great causes of the waste Of time and money BY
Congress, and his great speech In support OF that
measure, have met with universal commentator
among all classes. His bill reforming our diplomat
ic and consular system and his speech In defence Of
the same, together with his several speeches on oul
foreign relations and international affairs stamp him
at once, as wise legislator, profound thinker able
debator, and statesman of the first class.
His re.nom nation and reelection is believed to bt
q matter Of course.

Com. MtCaulcy's Cuban Instructions.

Ioy, the reliable correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun, write as follows:
The Instructions whatever they are that have been
given to Com. McCaulay met with the approval Of
the whole Cabinet We may therefore, readily be-
lieve them to be udcious and as we'll calculated to
prevent future aggressons the part Of the Cuban
authorities, as to prevent them. The most reason
able version Of the instructions is that Com. McCau-
ley Is to convey to the Captain General, protest
against the visit, detention or search, of our vessels
on the ocean, and beyond the jurisdiction Of Cuba,
on any pretence whatever.
lie will notify the Governor, that, If these acts,
thus deemed aggressive ly the United States, be
peatcd vessels shall be protected from them II
the protest and notice be nnhccded, the Commodore
will, upon the first recurrence Of the aggression
capture or sink the aggressng vessel of war. Our
merchantmen VIII he advised not to notice the hail
of every Spanish ship ofwar hut to proceed their
course aud II the Spanish vessel of shall resort
TO force Commodore Mccauley shall forthwith engage
the Spanish, as an enemy.
Force on our part, is to be used only in regard to
future cases and not for the purpose of rcscntine
acts that have been committed twill be observed
however that the Instructions, though they require
notice to the Cuban authorities, as preliminary to an
attack on Spanish vessel Of war; do not contcm
plate any appeal ms heretofore made, to the govern
ment of Spain. The issue is to be made with the au
thorties Of Cuba,
II has been suggested that Gen. Concha has ex-
ceolcd his powers and Instructions in directing
Spanish cruisers to overhaul American vessels with
out the limits of the jlrlsd ctlon of Cuba In his
solcItnde for the protection of the island from Am
ercan I'll busters. he has given cause for complaint
on the part of Americans who were pursuing theil
ordinary commerce. II may be, that the Home Gov
ernment. upon being Informed of the character
these complaints, VIII he prompt to disown the act
OF Gen. concha, and to prevent their repetition,
But II would seem that the question is to be mad,
with the Governor Of the Island without rcferenc,
10 the Home Department, thus illustrating the ne
cessty of the establishment in Cuba of some tribu
nal for the prompt adjustment of such difficulties q
may occur between American citizens and the Gu
ban authorities.

GREAT BATTLE AT EUPAroRIA-Later dis
pntches furnish the following additional news
received by the steamer Nashville:
Reports were in circulation that the French
Government was known to have received des
patches of great Importance from the Crimea
1t was not pretended that their contents were
positively known, but the rumors were that
there had been great battle fought near Eu-
patoria The particulars, as far as the rumors
affect to give them are, as might be expected
much confused. But the most plausible of the
statements appears to be- that 5000 Russians
were slain in the engagement, together with a
heavy proportion of the Turkish forces, among
the latter of whom was the gallant Omcr Pa.
cha himself.
Tile Africa which may be considered due at
Halifax about the Goth inst, may reasonably
be expected to bring intelligence of very i'm
portant occurrences in the Crimea.
