Important intelligence was received here this
morning, brought by the last mail from Europe
from Madrid, to a gentlemen in this city, and has
peen lald before the government, in order that it
may understand what is now going on in Spain in
reference to Mexico and Cuba The writer savs
That document has just been published by order of
the government, having for its base the MEXICAN
question, which is mixed up with the question of
CUBA that II the church party cannot drive Juarez
out OF Vera Cruz it is necessary the Spaniards
should do so; for If not, the island of Cuba will run
great risk. The document further saws the ahsnrn
ton OF certain territory of Mexico by the Yankees
under the Mclean treaty will, in its consequences
lead to the taking of the island of Cuba The
glorIes OF Morocco, says the writer have elevated
these people to the clouds, and with this belief
they think they can carry their triumpbs into
Mexico. 1t is already thing resolved upon and
all the resources Of the government are ready TO
take the conquerors to the plains of Mexico The
orders to the navy have been sent to Cuba to hold
itself In readiness at a moments warning Already
the American government has received a stronp
note protesting against the insults to their flag at
auton Lizardo. The idea of obtaining satisfaction
from both Mexico and the United States is general
ly approved of, and no doubt you will see active
movements going on in Cuba to effect this object
The government intend to keep a vigiant eve in
regard to the operations of Spain, and that she
does not interpose in Mexican affairs-The fol.

rangement has yet been made for CARRYING the Cal
ifornia mail, and the whole subject is embarrassed
with difficulty. An amendment was attached to the
regular Post Office bill for the next wears service
which places all ocean transportation touching al
a foreign port on the same footing as the transat
lantic mails, allowing only the postages for CON-
pensation- Mr.. Vanderbilt is willing to take so
much of the mail matter as pays postage on these
terms but, as the great bulk of is free and fire.
quently weighs as much as fifteen tuns the Post
master-General declines to discriminate, and re.
quires all to be carried none.-By order of the
Secretary of War q detachment of six hundred and
ten recruits have been ordered from the recruitno
depots of Carlisle, Fort Columbus and Newport
barracks, for service in New Mexico, and to pro.
ceed on the 18th of July to Fort Leavenwortb

Georgia delegates made the dmende honorable to Col

ed debate, would have ended in due-The Pres
ident now means to reserve the vacancy in the Su-
preme Court until the next term. IL the nomina-
tiOn be not made now, the place cannot be filled in
the recess. Mr.. Cobb's brother in Georgia is one
of the aspirants. The opinion among those bes
informed on the subject is that the Senate will finish
its present session on Thursday.
THE WRECKED HUNGARIAN.-Last week we were
favored with a visit from n Nova Scotia friend
who furnished us with some items of information
in regard to the steamer Hungarian, which was
lost by going ashore on Cape Ledges, Nova Scotia
on the night of Saturday, the 10th of February
last At the time of the wreck he was on Cape
Island, within short distance of the scene. He
rose on Sunday morning, the 18th, about dawn
and as soon as he went out he saw the shin anna.
rently about mile and half from the shore on
the ledge. She was then crowded with people
not one of whom was saved In less than an hour
she had disappeared. 1t was impossible to reach
her as the sea was running high and terrific gale
blowing. The upper deck, being of wood with the
houses on it, was washed off, and the baggage OF
the passengers, cases of light goods, valuable silks,
DC, were soon floating all over the water. Not
many hours after the ship went down the weather
cleared up and the Cape Islanders were busy col
lecting valuables and plundering. he saw men in
skiffs break open floating cases with hatchets and
lift out as many goods as their boat would hold,
then to shore leaving them, and OH Tor more. The
island contains about two thousand inhabitants,
and usually does considerable business in fishing.
But now, he SAYS, every house is depot of rich
goods, and not man is poor enough to be hired to
work. Lloyds agent, from Yarmouth, went down
and collected and sold such portion of the reclaim
ed goods as he could find, awarding salvage but a
very large portion was hidden and retained by the
thieving inhabitants. Our informant visited the
place again in two or three weeks after the matter
lad been settled and the underwriters had dispo-
sed of the remains, and purchased from one of the
wreckers one hundred and seventy five pairs oil
kid gloves Zine specimens of which he showed us)
for ring of Attleboro' iewelry, worth, perhaps
fifty cents. of another he got two splendid terra
Gotta vases and thirty-seven pieces of valuable
ribbons for pinchbeck brooch worth quarter O
dollar. He visited a deacon of the Baptis
Church who had fine lot of silks, velvets anC
vestings, and proposed to purchase some. Tn,
pious deacon said he had considered for two dav
and two nights whether he would be justified !,
selling, whether he ought to return the good
to the underwriters. He had concluded, at last
that it was his duty to retain them, as the wrecl
was evidently "godsend to the poor people o
Cape Island" At this same time, shoals of fa
msckerel and myriads of Goldfish surrounded thu
shores, only waiting to be caught to enrich then
captors The wreck, as she lay below the surface
was sold to two Yarmouth men for Sl4,OOo, anu
