NEW NoRK, March l2.-By A letter
from Commodore Stewart to President
Buchanan, il appears that President JEFF
ferson's gun-boat Navy, which was osten-
sibly built for the protection Of our sea
coast, was in reality built for taking pos
session Of Cuba, but the difficulties with
England postponed the project
1t is believed that this precedent VIII
influence Buchanan in reference to the
acquisition, should Mr.. Preston fail in the
purchase of Cuba.
Advices from Spain state that the ex-
citement in regard to Cuba had subsided.
Mr. Preston would probably be received
without trouble; that the disturbances in
Europe had partially supplanted the Gu
ban question.
Dallas and Mason both assure cur gov.
ernment that the sentiments Of Great
Britain and France toward the United
States, was satisfactory

1t is said, on apparently good authority,
tia; The President has determined 70 call
the next Congress to meet on the first Of
October. Should this be done, it Is prob
able that continuous session will be held
tall the following January, allowing for a
foriuisht's recess during the Christmas
and new years holidays Still it is pos
sible that events may render the presence
Of the legislative body necessary at an
earlier day. As Congress has refused to
confer powers upon the President even
for the protection Of American Interests
abroad, they may properly be called to-
gether to act themselves upon the subject
when it shall become necessary, as it GER
tainly will

In the United States there are $50 pa
per mills in active operation. They pro
duce 270, 900, 900 pounds Of paper, which
at an average Of 10 cents per pound,
would be worth s27 900, 600 As it re-
quires about pound and one-half of rags
to make one pound of paper, there are
consumed by these mills 400, 100000
pounds Of rags in single year. If we
estimate the rags to cost four cents per
pounds, there would be profit of sll,-
10000 in this branch Of manufacture.
