Kansas is yet destined to loom up above all the
outrage and crime and tyranny, OF which she has
been the victim. The ancient story OF the philoso-
pber Cslapus and the Indian hide, will be veri-

it will rise the more in all other parts.
The mails of the Canada reached here last night,

could do would be to exhibit their good faith III

honorable expression of purpose to use every

to escape from the city and to surrender the scene

brought this dispatch reached here on Thursday,
but without the correspondence Of the Spanish or
Mexican Legations confirming the announcement
already made Still no doubt is entertained OF the
fact stated, not only on account OF the officisl
source through which it comes, but because it sus-

Senior Alvarez, and the Mexican Minister oil or

late as tie evening of the 18th of June, on which
day the telegraphic dispatch was dated, and that
having perfected the basis of their negotiation,
they were endeavOring to cOnsummate the details,
so as to be transmitted by the steamer which left
Vera Cruz On the morning OF the I'D ut. Two

Mexico and Vera Cruz, and if the arrangement

the Spanish war steamers lying at Vera Cruz may
have been employed for this special service, going
by Havana. regular steamer leaves Vera Cruz
for Havana on the 4th, aud for New-Orleans on
the 9Th of each month. So that in any event, and

happen, the full intelligence will be obtained next
