PREPARATION TO BE MADE.

Arrivals from Havana to the 30th ultimo
confirm the intelligence that the English Con
sui and the Commander of the Styx had has
tened to express to the Captain General, in
emphatic terms, their disapprobation of the
the conduct of the steamer Buzzsrd, in board
ing and searching American vessels in the har
bors of the island.
Lord Napier lately sent dispatches to the
British Admiral on the subject of the outrages
in the gulf, and, on the 9Th instant, an officer
arrived at the British Legation, with dispatches
from Admiral Stewart at Bermuda. The state
ment is, that the British cruisers in the Gull
have no new instructions either from the Ad
miral or from England, but are acting simply
under the ordinary instructions in relation to
the slave trade; and that, before receiving of
fetal intelligence, the Admiral had dispatched
q special steamer, the Devastation, in pursuit
of the Styx, to require report of her proceed
ings. ~ ta<4u
Dispatches about the same time were re-
csived at the Navy Department from Captain
Rodgers of the United States steamer Water
Witch at Key West, announcing the arrival
there of the British steamer Jasper, Captain
Pym, in search of the Styx, with dispatches
for her commander from the British Admiral,
supposed to be on the subject of the late pro-
ceedings of the Styx. Captain Pym expressed
much surprise and regret at the excitement in
the United States, and said that nothing often
sive was intended, and no new orders had been
issued. al
The Royal Gazette, printed ct Bermuda, on
the 25th ultimo devoted half q column to no.
ticing the intelligence from the United States
in relation to the searches of American vessels
by British cruisers. The case of the schooner
Mobile, - represented in the American papers,
it regards - simply incredible, but adds that,
ifthe fact of such outrages be established, they
create As much indignation as has been ex-
pressed in the United States. 1t il perfectly
satisfied that the British Government is ready
and willing frankly to make every reparation.
1t is rather remarkable. that while the Brit,
ish Minister, the British Admiral and British
officers are themselves surprised at these strange
occurrences in the gulf, and are moving ener-
geticaly to put stop to them, portion of the
American Press cannot find half 30 much
in these transactions to blame, as in the
very natural Indignation with which the
American Senate regards them. In this
case, the British Minister and Admiral seem
to have clearer sense than some of our own
countrymen, of what is duet the American flag.
Should the British Government make ample
reparstion, as may be anticipated, the four
nalists alluded to, who have been contending
for the right of its cruisers to do just what the
British Admiral seems determined they shall
not do, will be left in rather an awkward pre-
dicament. l

in relation to free colored people, so to allow
their entrance from abroad while they continue
to exclude them from other States. Under
what law, then, could the shipping of "emi.
grants from the coast of Africa, in accordance
with the passenger laws of the United States"
be interdicted? The object undoubtedly would
be, to enslave them, to add them TO the stock

Mississippi rebelled against this policy, and,
fearful of Disunion, Mr.. Buchanan succumbed
sacrificed the principle of submission, and in
sisted that Kansas should be dragged into the
Union under Constitution her People had re-
pudisted. How long will such an Administra-
ton maintain its ground against any combined
movement of the SOUTH We have NO faith in
it. The necessity of additional supplies of labor
in the planting regions is too urgent to allow
the supposition that the struggle TO obtain them
from abroad will be easily abandoned. Defeat
will make the leaders in this business more de-
termined, more desperate. 1t is a matter of life
and death with them.

FOUR MONTHS CLUB susscR1BxRs.


The members of clubs that subscribed for

after which no papers will be sent to them, I'M.
less ordered. We hope that those who we're
active in getting up the clubs, will be Is active
in renewing them. Where this is not the case,
let the subscribers act both for themselves and
others. Look to our Prospectus for terms, for
the year and for six months, for clubs and sim
gle subscriptions.
Need We again remind our friends of the
very great difficulty of keeping up such paper
as the Era in Washington? No local senti-
ment, no local interest sustains it. 1t has no
Government patronage, and would not have il,
it it could. 1t is not mere party organ, and
can claim no favor as such. 1t is no sensation
paper-does not publish fash stories-furnishes
no startling chronicles of crimes. 1t has little
advertising custom, and its just and legal claim
to the advertisements of the Executive Depart
ments is from year to year denied. What,
then, has it to depend upon but the subscrip-
tons Of those friends who for eleven years have
believed that such paper is needed in Wash
ington? All we ask is that they stand by us,
and labor to repair the damages that our list
must constantly suffer from the vicissitudes of
time and opinion. 4
