The Allies n the West Indies.

The Captain General Of Cuba has been Off
cially notified by therepresentatives of the gov
ernments of Franco and Great Britain, that
within fifteen days there will appear in the
port OF Havana, q Franco English squadron,
composed Of two .hips. ofthe-line and several
smaller vessels. Ills intimated by the Spanish
authorities that this squadron has been sent to
the coast of Cuba as a guarantee against the
ambitious views Of the Americans. These
facts we gather rom very reliable source.
They are suggestive and admonatory. Lord
Clarendons declaration that the alliance of
France and Grea Britain extended over the
world, is here practically illustrated. The ru-
NOR that his lorlship had, in q letter to our
Secretary of State, retracted or explained in q
satisfactory manner this declaration, will be
here fully disprowd. There are no British or
French interests which require the protection
of fleet in the West Indies. If these two
Powers can spare any ships from the present
engrossing warfare against Russia, it must be
under the pressure of some very important
policy and serious necessity.
We can imagine no more important design
than that of protecting the dynasty of Spain
in Cuba. If such be the purpose Of the move.

Britain and France, and their audacious pre-.
tensions to control and regulate the affairs Of
the whole world-N. 0. Delta.

CONVICTION UNDER THE FUGITIVE
SLAVE LAW.

Our readers, no doubt, remember the dis
graceful conduct Of Sherman NJ. Booth, who
violated the fugitive slave law, at Milwaukee,
in aiding slave named Glover, TO escape to
Canada. The case was marked by circum.
stances Of peculiar aggravation. few days
since we published a brief account of his
trial and conviction, from which it appeared
that he has been sentenced to Imprisonment
for one month, and fined one thousand dollars
The able opinion Of Judge Miller, before whom
Booths trial took place, does credit to his
talents and learning, and his exposition and
enforcement Of the law in the midst Of active
abolitSonists, afford striking indications of his
manhood and honesty. We extract from his
opinion few paragraphs, which we find in
one OF our exchanges. Judge Miller says
THE Judiciary is not the law-making power.
Such constitutional laws as are enacted by
congress are to be enforced by the courts and
Judges. The duty of preserving the Constitu-
hon and Of protecting the rights Of the people
OF tins nation, by enforcing the several acts OF
Congress, deyolyes upon the judicial depart
ment OF the government. This is an essential
and solemn duty. Whether laws are popular
or unpopular, courts, judges and Jurors cannot
inquire. That is the true business OF the repre-
sentative, not of the Judge or the jury. While
'n,s continues, government of written Con.
s.l.u'lon and laws, enacted by the representa-
yves OF .he whole people, courts of Justice must
% faithful 70 their duty. The people voluntarily
a'op'ed The Constitution as it is, and made i

their own, and pledged their fealty to it and
| their support Of all laws that may be enacted
IN pursuance of it. Every person is repre-
| scented upon the floor of Congress at the pas
sage OF every law, which is an expression OF
the sovereign will. The people have the Con-
stitunon and laws in their own power, and can
mould them at pleasure through the powerful
means of the ballot-box. For these reasons
thus IS the last country upon earth Where open
resistance TO lato should b, attempted"
The question of the llVery of Glover, the
fugitive, was not raised in the case, and the
judge says:
The only question raised by these two
counts are these: Was the warrant issued and
served as therein stated, and did the defendant
aid, abet, or assist in the escape? Glover es-
capped before the hearing required by the law.
Whether he was a slave or not, and had fled
from Missouri, had not been determined by the
proper officer, nor is it to be upon this issue.
If Garland should prosecute the marshal or the
rescuers for the value of Glover, he would then
be bound to prove satisfactorily, by disinter-
ested testimony, in the way prescribed by our
rules of practice, that Glover owed him service
according to the laws Of Missouri, and that he
escaped from such State. This is prosecu-
ton for the public offence Of resisting lawful
process"
Judge Miller, after reviewing the facts in
volved and the testimony in the case, con.
cluded with the subjoined instructions to the
jury:
For these reasons, and also to maintain
the majesty of the laws, it is the duty Of all
good law-abiding citizens to aid this officer
upon all proper occasions in the service Of pro-
cess. The marshal mnst BIO protected, and, If
there is law in the land, legal process in his
hands will not be resisted with IMMUNITY. I
will conclude in the language Of Justice Wash.
ington, then of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, in the case of Lukens, before re-
ferred to:
"'The jury are the judges of the facts, and
they will say if the facts are proved. The
court will say, as there is point of law in
volved, that if the. witnesses are believed, q
clearer case cannot, in the opinion of the court,
be presented of resistance and opposition to
process in the hands Of the marshall"
Mr.. Booth has been sentenced to imprison-
ment for one month and to pay fine Of one
thousand dollars.

THE HERO WHO SET FIRE TO WASH
INGTON.


The London Times (says the New York Sun1
in recounting the deeds of the valorous Welch-
man, Sir De Lacy Evans, who does not like
the manner in which warlike affairs are con-
Quoted in the Crimea, and consequently has.
returned home, says in relation to his services
in the American war-"It was he who, at the
head of a hundred men, forced the House of
Congress Washington" Was the hot WEIGH
man, who cannot stand the cold Of the Crimea,
the man who set fire to the Capitol at Wash
ington, to the library of Congress, to the house
of the President, and other buildings in that
city, in our last war with England? That is
what the gallant British army did, in the expe-
riments upon the Atlantic shores Of America,
in the war Of 1872, before it was annihilated at
New Orleans. If Sir De Lacy Evans claims
the honor of the deed, let him have all the
honor that belongs to simple act of house
burning, without strategy or tactics, and with
nothing to distinguish it from any act of bar
barous incendiarism.
This is one of the much-talked-of claims
that our affectionate mother-England- has
upon our sympathies.
