OUR AFRICAN SQuADRnN

We find in m exchange the following synopsis
OF Il correspondence recently had between Gen.
CAss. Secretary Of State, and Lord NAPIER Bit
isl, Minister TO the United States, in reference to
the Slave Trade:
"Self preservation is the first law of nature
with States as well as with individuals All M
tions have at different periods acted upon this
maxim. Although it has been made the prc
text for committing fagraIt injustice, as in the
partition Of Poland and other similar case.

though often abused, has always been rccop.

"Tho United States have never acnuired n
foot of territory except by fair purchase or az in
The case of Texas, upon tho free aud voluntary
application Of the people of that independent
State, who desired TO blend their destiucs with
our own.
Even our acquisitions from Mexico are no
exception to the rule. hecausc, although we might

| U just way, We purchased them for what was
then considered by both parties full aud ample

should acquire tho island Of Cnl,a without the
consent Of Spain, unless justified by the great
law Of selfrrcscrvalion We must. in any event.
preserve our own conscious recttude and, our
own sclf-rcspcct Whilst pursuing this course,
we can afford TO disregard the ccnsures of the

unjustly exposed. After we shall have offered
Spain price for Cuba far beyond it's present
value. and this shall have been refused, it will
then be time to consider the question, does Cuba,
in the possession Of Spain, seriously cntlnngcr
our internal peace and tho existence Of our cher

in the affirmative, then by every law, human and
divine, we shall bc justified in wrestling il from
Spain, If We posses the power. And this upon
the very same principle that would justify an in
divdual in tcnring down the burning house OF
his neghbor, if there werc no other means OF
preventing the flames from destroying his own

neither to count the cost nor regard the odds

Clayton Bnl,cer Treaty-The Washington cor
respondent of the Charleston STANDARD under date
of the litI inst, furnishes the following inter
cs'ing item Of intelligence:
Some weeks since, Lord Napier laid before
the State Department the complaint of his Gov.
ernment, that our African squadron was not as
efficient US it should be under existing treaty
stipulatons Yesterday, Gen. Cass communicn
tod to his I.ortlship the reply of tho President
and the samo will he Mt once laid before the Uni
ted States Senate in secret session-wth view
TO its consideration in connection with the alb
rogation Of the Clayton Bulwcr treaty"-wl,ich
is favored, and indeed urged, by Mr.. Buchanan.
This reply to the British complaint of our inef-
ficiency opens up and reviews the whole subject
of the slave trade and its prohibition. Cen Cnss
shows conclusvely, by facts and figures, that we
have been both but cats paw" in the hands
Of England, and have played n very ridiculous
part in the African farce ever since the III. nd.
vised treaty Ind heon negotiated Our vessels
have been maintained on the coast of Africn in
good faii, to prohibit the traffic in slaves, while
English ships have only protected French sIavcrs
and committed insults upon our flag The dis
tingulshcd Secretary of State gives n number of
instances where il is known that British vessel,

slaves while we wern attempting TO carry out
