THE ALLEGED CUBAN REvoLUTIoN.-The New
York Express contains translation from the Ga.
ceta Oficialde Habaaa, in which it appears that
a person styling himself Brigadier General n. S.
Reneau of Memphis, Tennessee, wrote some time
ago to the Captain. General, asking him to be-
come the chief of revoutiouin Cuba. In some
way Rensau seems to have hattered himself that
he could bride the Cuban authorities; but the
Captain General, it appears, has treated the Brig
adler General as mailman. The story is not
very important, but it suggests that the Briga-
der General has deceived the President of the
United States by his political joke, and that
seems 10 be the cause of the application of thir-
ty millions OF dollars as iniuatory steps for the
acquisition of Cuba. The whole scheme must
now appear supremey ridiculous, unless we can
get more solid aspect out Of it. This is fine
ending to the Ostend Manifesto, truly.
LADIES OPPOSED TO ANNgxATIoN.-The Prem
50 of Havana publishes an address which the
ladies OF Havana have resolved to lay ''at the
royal feet OF Her Majesty Isabella III" in protest
against the idea enuncsted in the recent Message
of the President of the United States on the sub
ieot of the purchase of the Island of Cuba. This
document, which the Prensa introduces as 'very
expressive and eloquent" and as "doing honor
to the fair sex of Cuba" concludes as follows -
"The ladies of HAVANA are as loyal, as Catholic,
and as Spanish in December, 1858, as were their
ancestors in August, 1862; that they desire to
die under the glorious flag which they ssluted at
their birth; and that the Island OF CUBA, the hrst
American land discovered by Christopher Co
lumbus, shall remain to the last united TO the
Grown OF Spain, since her sons are Spanish by
birth and feeling.

Nh noroI - DrNorNoEs THE PRRsrDENr.-A

Mr.. DouaLAs DENoUNoEs THE PRESIDENTIAL
scene of unusual excitement occurred in the Tx
ecutive Session of the Senate on Friday evening,
when the nomination of Mr.. Potter, as Collector
of Toledo, was pending. Mr. Douglas, after es'
pousing Mr.. Pugh's opposition to this nonina'
ton, assaulted in very strong terms the aPpoin'-
ments which had bean made in Illinois, denouno-
ing them as corrupt and Infamous, and charging
the President with the direct responsloiilty.-
Mr. Fitch replied, aud after reviewing tne la0ts,
said Mr. Douglas had stated what ne kue" ~ ~
be untrue" The general tone OF MS reinSi NJ
was so personal, that he was interrupted " ,
rious calls to order, from Mr.. Orlttenuen aru
others. ,.uo-,.;o,o
Mr. Douglas retorted, defending his allegations,
Int admitting that there might be some excep-
lions among the officials. Still, as general rule,
he maintained thew came within the scope OF
his criticism, Mr.. Davis expressed regret ana
indiOnation that such scenes could be witnessed
in the Senate, which only proved how much II
had fallen from its exalted position. Language
had been employed which would disgrace bar
room Mr.. Shields referred to the scene as NOR
trying, aud exhibiting passion on all Sides
Mr.. Davis admitted that his resentment ut the
spectacle had found expression in stronger Ian,
guage than he designed, and therefore wished
10 recall IL. plICu COuleS>SN nv N"NN
apology to the chamber for exceeding the oounoS
of proper debate, but so far as the Senator nom
Illinois was concerned, he had not q word TO
take back or to qualify. After this episode the
Senate adjourned without action upon the nom
ination, aud leaving Mr.. Fitch's personalities un'
answered.
The friends of Mr.. Douglas are much exerciS'
ed and require that he shall take some step 70
relieve his position, either by frank admission
that he does not recognise "the code" or by an
explicit demand for retraction from Mr. Fitoh'
After the recent issues with Mr. Slidell and Mr..
Jones, this new and more aggravated controversy
they think requires some decisive action, which
will prevent recurrence of such scenes. In
memorable encounter with Mr., Sumner, Mr..
Douglas after pouring out the vials OF his inveo
tive, pointedly asked that protested non-com-
blatant, docs he wish US to kick him2" The
interrogatory has different application now
and seems to have returned to plague the IN
ventor.- Wash. Cor. Bait Anser.

Position OF TIE JEWS IN THE eAPAL OTATEs'
"A correspondent of the London Jewish Ohron-
icle, writing from Rome, on the 18th OF Decem-
Der, says:
fear that cannot do anything here in be-
half of the Mortara case, because, as learn, the
Pope is very indignant at the publications made
by the public press on this subject, and thinks
the Jews are the authors. Though no steps ap'
pear to be taken Openly by the Papal Govern
anent against the Jews, nevertheless, there Is IN
directly plainly discernibe the commencement OF
a very severe system OF prosecution. The recent
search of Jewish houses for Christian servants
was executed suddenly, and the fines were i'm
posed without any justification, or witnesses, or
opportunity for defence | know the Pope has
given positive orders that the restrictions on this
point shall be carried out with the greatest rlgor
A young mau, an Israelite, who has been late
" examined as physician, aud who passed his
examination aud was found fully competent to
receive a license to practice his profession, has
been refused the license simply on account OF his
religion, nor could he even procure permission
to act ia the capacity OF an assistant IN an apoth
scarys shop.
.Iu several towns in the provinces your breth-
rem cannot stop at all, whether for business or
otherwise, without being subject to hue or IN
prisonment. Indeed, my good friend, Persecu-
lions against the lSraelleS III IuS uOululOS VI Wv
Pope are again rearing their heads, | regret to
say, to the intamy of the Latin Church, and to
the disgrace and shame of the age in which we
live. When will the so-oalled Christian nations
act in accordance with their high pretensionss
THE CUBAN AeIrArIoN-Th Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore American says in
Is letter of the goth:
IL is very obvious from all the indications, that
the design of the Democracy, is to agitate the
acquisition of Cuba mainly for its political effect
upon the coming Southern elections. They have
no expectation of attaining the object, any more
than Mr.. Buchanan has, in proposing negotia'
ton for the purchase, which he knew would be
rejected as deliberate insult. But they want an
issue, aud have chosen the one which is supposed
to be most potential The leaders do not pre-
tend to conceal that with no other question be-
fore the people than the acts of administration
since Mr. Buchanan came into power, with the ex.
traYagance and recklessneSs which have depict
ed the Treasury and increased the public debt,
verdict of condemnation would be recorded
Hence it is proposed, to create new Southern
excitement upon this artificial basis, hoping to
invoke corresponding agitation among Northern
demagogues aud thus again set the ball IN mo,
ton, which both have been so long accustomed
to kick for their own exclusive profit. When
the country is fully notified of the scheme, Its
success may be moro difficult than now seems to
be anticipated.
