THE NEWS.

THE NDW0.
It is now ascertained that the report
Of Gov. Cummings expulsion from Salt
Lake City is fabrication and We have
no doubt but that the statement re-
Gently published that Captain Aiarcy's
train had been cut of by the Mormons
will prove to be equally without foun-
dalton.
Captain Nichols, Of the brig Lillian,
which arrived at New York on Satur-
day from Jamaica, reports that when
near Sombrcro Key he was boarded
by boat from British war ste ner,
supposed the Bnzzard. A full account
of the affair is published. Capt. Rcvans,
Of the brig Abram, arrived on Sunday,
reports that lie was boarded on the
Goth ult., from tho steamer Styx, and
his papers examined. The Abram is
the vessel to which allusion was made
a few days since as having put ashore
some passengers at Key West. The
Styx was at Key West at the time, and
when the brig proceeded on her voy-
age the steamer gave chase. The re-
suit is not known. There arc now
forty-onc similar cases Of British vista
ton and search of American merchant
men upon record. The news Of the
boarding Of the schooner Mobile was
received at Bermuda about the oath
ult. The official Gazette affects to
disbelieve the report, but says if it be
~ announced in New York, the Brit
ish officer in command Of the Styx
will be punished. When the New
York papers containing the other cases
next following were received the Bel
muda journals still thought the re-
ports exaggerated, if not fabricated for
the purpose Of creating sensation.
The conduct Of the British cruisers
in the Cuban ports has caused the
Captain General to issue orders to the
Spanish squadron to prevent violations
Of the sovereignty Of Spain. But it
appears the Spanish men-of-war are
trying their hands at this searching
busincrs. The brig Tanaro, which ar
rived on Sunday from Havana, reports
that when of that port he was board
ed by an officer from a Spanish vessel
of war, who demanded the briggs pa
pers, which were shown to him, and
after examining them he departed.
BY an arrival at New York from
Porto Cabello we have news from
Venezuelato the 10th ult. The count
ry was tranquil. The French Minis
ter had made a peremptory demand
upon the Provisional government for
the release Of cx-President Monagas,
in order to enable him to leave tho
country. General Castro, however, re-
fused to accede to the reputation, and
the Frenchman refrained from execut-
ing his threat Of ordering the French
ships to fire upon the town. 1t was
thought the Minister would soon be
recalled. The people were still active
~ engaged in preparations for the ap-
preaching election of delegates to the
National Convention, and every pre-
caution being taken to have it pass off
without disorder.
We have news from St, Lucia, West
Indies, to the 10th Of April. The
weather was dry and the island
healty. The Palladium says "A
communication has been received by
tho local authorities from the home
government, intimating that steps are
being taken to send hither . number
of liberated Africans. This will be a
real boon to the colony, and, looking
at the highly satisfactory condition Of
those who were sent to this island .
few years ago, it will prove equally 70
to the immigrants themselves"
Late accounts from st. Domingo
represent that the revolutionary strug-
Gle continued, without any perceptible
advantage in favor of either party
The Santana party were, however,
daily receiving accessions, and it was
expected that q decisive battle would
ahortly DO fought by the forces Of the
opposing factions. The inhabitants Of
st. Domingo City had suffered OK
tremely during the revolution. Many Of
them had left the city and reached the
Haytien ports in a destitute condition.
