W ashing ton, March 13, 1854. The seizure of the American stonmer Black Warrior, and the confiscation of hor cargo by.the authorities of Havana, is now, and has been for several days, the leading topic of discussion—and well it may be, for the outrago was of the gross- j est character, and may lend to the most serious consequences. Tho caso briefly stated, is this:—The Black Warrior is one of a regular lino of steamers plying be tween New-York npd the Isthmus, touch ingot Havana. On this occasion, she had 190 bales of cotton in her hold, and en tered in “ballast.” This it is said, they aro able to prove, has been her custom ah tcays heretofore. But nn old law of Spain, long out of use, has lately been brought to light, by which the Black Warrior should have entered in "transitu.” It bus been (ho custom to take out papers, sometimes two or three days before tho arrival of.each vessel, called “ entrance ” and “ clearance ” papers. This is done by tho Agent there, for the purpose of preventing unnecessary delay, ns the custom house is closed on Sundays and feast days. On this occa sion, however, the authorities refused to let her depart, on thb ground of informal ity in tho manifest, stating that she should have entered in transitu , instead of bal last. Another regulation of tho port al lows twelve hours for the correction of any informality or error in the manifest. But this was refused on the ground she hud already cleared. Captain Bullock, the commander of tho Black Warrior, when all efforts to bring tho nuthoritics to a just senso of their duties failed—and tho efforts of tho American Consul, tho Agent of the Company, nnd others, had been called in to requisition—hauled down his flag, nnd lie and his officers nnd crew abandoned the vessel, as soon ns tho first bale of cot ton was taken out of her hold. The ques tion now to be settled, is,, whether the Spanish authorities were justified in seiz- Tngthe vessel under nnobselefc law, with out having first given notice in some form or other that such law was revived, nnd would bo enforced. such notice is required by the laws of nations, is well settled. If n thorough investigation of the whole case, verifies the facts ns above sta ted, tho United Stales cannot do loss than demand redress in tho most summary manner. All kinds of rumors aro afloat concerning tho. notion of government. A message- from tho President to Congress has been announced every day this week, yet nothing of the kind has yet.appeared. A motion was mude in tho House looking to the suspension of-ffie operation of our neutrality laws as regards Spain. Tho lost plmso of the matter is, that the Cuban authorities have despatched n special mes. sengor to Washington, tepderjngthe most ample npplogy, and offering to make res titution, and pay nil damages. Upon the heels of this, is another report—tho United States Stenmer Princeton has been des patched from New York to Cadiz, to de mand satisfaction of tho Spanish Court. Tho proceedings of Congress for the last week, possesses unusual interest. In the House, two bills, one for the granting of public lands in aid of the construction of rnilroads in Minesota, and the other to VVisconsin for tho same purpose, have been laid upon the table by close voles. They may both come up ngain, but, from present indications, if they, or any other hill of n similar nature, pass, it will he by « very "small' majority. At least until the Pacific railroad question shall be disposed of. The Senate on Monday, passed a bill tivo which presents itself to your choice.— granting a certain portion ,ol>the public ShoulifryourMnjesty be us desirous ns my* lands to, tjio, states, for the benefit pf the self of a pacific conclusion, what would bo indigent insane..

Your Majesty, preferring to opposition to such munificent donations. ,\lreut directly with /J’urkey, might appoint ! Tetter of the Emperor Nppojcon to the Czar rln the LondanTiines of the 18th, wo find a translation of a Icitor addressed by Louis ijTapblcon to tho Czar. It is as fol lows : ; ' • Palace of tub Tcileries, Jan.'39,1854. Sire- —The difference which has arisen !bolwen your Majesty and the Ottoman Porte lias assumed such a serious aspect that I think it right myself to explain di-. rectly to your' Majosty the part which Franco has taken in this quostion, and tho moans which suggest themselves to mo in order to avoid the dangers which mertdeo the tranquility of Europo. Tho note which your Majesty has just sent to my Government, and to that of Queen Victoria, endeavors to prove that it was the system of pressure adopted from tho commencement by the two maritime Powers which alone involved the question in bitterness. On tho contrary, according 1 to my view, the matter would havo con-1 tinned a Cabinet question if the occupation of the two principalities had not suddenly ' transferred it from the region of discussion ’ to that of fucj, Nevertheless, although! your Majesty’s troops had entered Walla chia, wo advised the Porte not to consider, that occupation ns a warlike act, thus pro- j ving our extreme desire for conciliation. I After I had consulted with England,! Austrin and Prussia, I proposed to your . Mnjesty a note, designed to givo satisfac tion to all, Your Majosty accepted it. Wo had hardly, however, been informed of this good news, when your Minister, by explanatory commentaries, destroyed thoi conciliatory cftec's of it, and thus preven* j ted us from insisting at Constantinople up-; on its pure and simple udoption. Tho Porto for Its own part, suggested some modifica-l lions in the note, to which tho roprcsenta-i lives of the four Powers, at Vienna wero| I not indisposed to agree. They wore not, j ! however, agreed to by your Majesty. It t was then that tho Porte, wounded in its, dignity,' itS;independcncc threatened, and i being compelled to raise on army to op pose that of your Majosty, preferred to do iclarc war.rather than remain in a state of uncertainty nnd humility. The Porte had i claimed our support; dip cause of tho Porto appeared to us to be n just one, and tho [ English nnd French squadrons were there j fore ordered to tho Bosphorus, j Our attitude in referenco to Turkey was I that of a protector, but it was passive. We did not incite her to war. Wtt unceasing ly addressed to the ears of the Sultan the ndvico of peace and moderation, persua ded that this was the best mods of coming to on agreement, and the four Powers con sulted together again, nnd submitted to your Majesty dome other propositions.— Your Majesty on your pnrt exhibiting tho calmness which arises from the conscious ness of strength, contented yourself with repulsing from the left hank of tho Danube, ns in Asia, the attack of the Turks; and, with tho moderation worthy tho chief of n great empire, your Majesty declared that you would act on the defensive. Up to that period, then, wo were, I may say, inter ested spectators, but simply spectators of the dispute, when the affair of Sinope com pelled us to toko a more decisive part. France and England had not thought it necessary to send troops to tho assistance of Turkey. Their flag, therefore, was not engaged in the conflicts which took! place upon land. But at sea it was very different.;— I There were nt the entrance to tho Bcsphurus 3000 guns, the existence of which proclaimed-loudly enough to Tur key that tho two leading maritime Powers would not allow her to be attacked at sea. The affeir at Sinope was for us ns painful as it was unexpected; for it matters little to us whether tho Turks wished to convey munitions of war to the Russian teritory. In fact, Russian ships attacked Turkish vessels in the waters of Turkey, while those vessels wero riding quietly at anchor in a Turkish port. The Turkish vessels wore destroyed in spite of the assurance '• that there was no wish to commence an aggressive war, apdin spite of tho vicini ty of our squadrops. Tho sound of the cannon shot at Sinope reverberated painfully m the hearts of ull those who in England and in France res pect notional dignity. There was a gener al participation in the sentiment that when ever our cannon can reach our allies ought to be respected, Out of this feeling arose the order given to our squadron to enter the Black Sea, and to prevent by force, if necessary, tho recurrence of a similnr event. . Thence aroso.tho collec tive notification sent to tho cabinot of St. Petersburg, announcing that if we prevent ed tho Turks frpm making an aggressive war upon tho coast of Russia, wo would also protect the Turks upon their own ter ritory. As to the Russian fleet, in prohib iting its navigation of the Black Sen, we placed it uppn a different condition because it was impqrlantduring the war to preserve a guarantee equivalent in force to tho oc cupation of tho. Turkish territory, and thus facilitate the conclusion of peace by hav ing the power of making a desirable ex change. Such, Sire, is tho real result and a state ment of the fucts. It is clear, that having arrived at this point, they must either bring about a definitive understanding or a deci ded rupture. Your majesty has given so many proofs of your solicitude for the tran quiliiy of Europe, and by your beneficent Influence has so'powerfully arrested tho spirit of disorder, that I cannot doubt as to the course you wjll take in the nltcrna- an Embassador who could negotiate with j a'Plenipotentiary o,f the Sultan a conven tion which might bo admitted to a confe rence of the Four Powers. Let your Ma jesty adopt this plan, upon svhich.the Queen oflingland andmyself are perfectly ngreod ntjd tfanquility will bo re;cstal)ilishod and the world satisfied. There is nothing in tho plan which is unworthy of your Ma jesty-7-nothing which can wound your ho-' nor; but, if from a motivo difficult to un derstand, your Mojesty should refuso this 1 proposal, then France us well as England, will bo compelled to leave to the fato of, arms nnd tho chdnccs of wUr that which might now be decided by reason'and jus tice. Lot not your Majesty think that the least animosity can enter my hoart. I feel no other sentiments than those expressed by your Mujosty' yourself in your letter of t|lo 17th of January, 1853, in which you write—" Our relations ought to bo sincere ly amicable, based, os they are, upon the samo intentions—the maintenance of or der, the love of ponce, respect for tree ties, and rccipronl good feeling." This progrummo is worthy of the Sovereign who traced it, and I do not hestitate to declare that I remain faithful to it. I beg your Majesty to beliovo in tho sincerity of my sentiments and it is with theso sentiments, that 1 am, sire, your Majesty’s good friend. Napoleon. Attempt to Murder and Robbery.— Friday night last, one of the most des perate nnd daring robberies, connected ! with an attempt to murder, that it has ev |er been our duty to record, was perpotra | ted in our midst. Mr. John Hostings, Col lector of Customs, who resides in Alloghe- Jny city beyond the canal, had taken .his 'supper at about seven o’clock, nnd step !jped out to cross to tho collector of tolls of- ' ! fico opposite. Thorearo about twenty stone : steps leading down from his lot to the path ! along tho canal. He had descended these nearly to the bottom, when a stout heavy set man, with surtout coat and cap on,step ped up from tho side wall directly in front of him. At the same moment he heard footsteps behind him, nnd could just glance i back to see a largo man, wearing a black! frock coat and hat, grapple him by the j throat wi>h both hands, while one below | struck him over the head with a colt or bil- J Iy. Ho thinks there was also a third man also struck him. Strangled ancT'etunned by blows, he sunk down insensible, when the ruffians rifled his pockets of throe hun dred nnd twenty dollars, a gold watch and keys of tho vnult and drawers ia the cus tom house. Tho money consisted of two one hundred dollar bills, two fifty dollar notes and one twenty, all on tho Merchants nnd Manufacturer’s Bank of Pittsburgh. The villains left him they supposed dead. • Ho must have lain ns they left him, near ly three quarters or nn hour, when revi ving, ho crawled to the top of the steps nnd called for help, His wife and son came out dreadfully alarmed, and procuring as sistance from tho tolls’ office, conveyed. him into the house. He wns found to be most severely beaten* and it was thought his skull wns fractured. Pr. M’Cook, Sr. was immediately sent for, who at once re paired to the spot, nnd effected immediate relief. Messengers were sent, also, to warn the watchman at the custom house of tho loss of the vault key. Tho watchman, Joseph Cupplos, was promptly notified, but it appeared tho next morning tho robbers hnd profiled well by the start they had got, and had entered the vault and abstracted @lO,OOO in gold, chiefly twenty dollar pieces, leaving two thousand eight hundred nnd seventy six dollars scattered over tho floor of the vault. The police of'.his nnd other cities are on the scent, but ns yet no clue is Imd to the perpetrators of this dnring outrage. Quite nn excitement prevails throughout the community. A reward of one thousand dollars is offered for the arrest of the robbers and recovery of tho stolen money. Pittsburgh Union. Tiie Slavehy Clause. —The Nebras ka bill) os it passed iho Senate, contains the following c'.anso relating to slavery: “That tho constitution and all the laws of tho United States which aronot locally inapplicable, shall have tho same force and effect within tho said territory of Ne braska, ns elsewhero within tho United States, except the Bth section of the act preparatory to the ndmission 'of Missouri into tho Union, approved March 6th 1820, which being inconsistent with tho princi ple of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the states and territories, as re cognized by the legislation of 1850, com monly called the 'compromise measures,’ is hereby declared to bo inoperative and void: it being tho true intent arid meaning of this act, not to legislateslavery into any territory or state, nor to exclude it there from, but to leave tho people thereof per fectly free, to form and regulate their do mestic institutions in their own wuy, sub ject only to the constitution of the United States:—Provided, that nothing contained in this act shall bo construed to revive, or put in force any law or regulation which may have existed prior to the act of tho Oth March, 1820, either protecting, estn blishing, prohibiting or abolishing slavery.” fcs"Josepli Turner has been convicted at Boston, under the; new liquor bill of sell ing a glass of mixed liquor, and fined $lO und costs' and hold to bail in $lOOO not to sell a not bo r glass for one year.

Mormon Interpretation.-*-A good an ecdote of Joo Smith is told by the Journal of Commerce, illustrating bis exogetical powers. It .was in .a conversation which' ho had With soiro,eastern gentlemon, who p\ade him a,visitin Illinois not long before the violent proceedings which resulted in his death; Wo believe the anecdote \vas never before in print. The conversation very naturally under the circumstances in which .the Mormons were placed, or rather had placed themselves os antagonists to the rest of the state, turned upon the right of self-defence; ,and Joseph was asked what ho thought of the words of the script ture which required him who had been smitten on tho one check, to turn tho other also. "A very remarkablo passage,’’ ho an swered, “spoke by Jesus himself, striking ly illustrative of hjsthoroughacqunmtance with human nature. A man may strike you at first under a mistake, or without intending any harm ; and you ought not to strike back immediately, but turn tho other cheek and give him an opportunity to ex plain, or, if ho is in earnest repent the of fence. However, you need not turn a third time, but if a man strikes you twjco, then into him like a thousand of brick.” good story wns onco told of a connoisseur ill the fine arts, who said to a friend. “I wish you would comcup tomy houso and seo a picture I have just purchased.- 1 wish you to give me your candid opinion of it. A friend of mine, who thinks he’s a judge, had tho impudence to tell mo last night that it was not an original. I should like to hear another man say that it was not an original; 1 think I should almost be tempted to knock him down! But you Icomo up and seo nnd give me your candid I nnd unbiassed .opinion of the picture!” I Hero was “freedom of opinion” with a vengeance; and something like tho liberty of action said to have been granted by Col. McLnno to the troops under his com mand before going intojwinter-quartersat Valley Forgo. They 1 were, suffering for provisions and clothing and congress had been repeatedly petitioned for that relief which it was not in their power to bestow. Under theso circumstances, Col. M’Lean paraded his band of sufiering soldiers, and imrungued them as follows: "Fellow soldiers! you have served your country faithfully and truly. We have fought hard fights together against a hard enemy. You arc in a bad way for com fortable clothes, and it always makes me cry to see you tracking your half-frozen bloody feet on the cold icy ground. But Congress can’t help it, nor can I. Now if any of you want to return home, to leave the army at such a time as this, you can go. Let those who would like to go step out foui' paces in front—but—added ho— the first mnn that steps out, if I don't shoot him, my name is not M’Lane 1” * It is needless to add, that not a solitary "volunteer for home” was to bo found in tho ranks. 047“Somctfme after the peace of 181G,n distinguised officer of the English navy, visited the Constitution, then just new nit Boston for a Mediterranean cruise. He went through the ship, accompanied by Captain of our service, “Well, what do you think of her?” asked tho latter af ter tho two hnd gone through the vessel, nnd reached the quarter deck again. “She is one of tire finest frigates, if not the fin est frigate, I ever put my foot on board of,” returned tho Englishman ; “but, as I must findsomo fault I’ll just say, your wheel is ouo of the clumsiest things I ever saw, and is unworthy of the vessel,” Captain laughed, and then explained tho appear ance of tho wheel, saying, “when the Constitution took tho Java, the former’s wheel was shot ofTher. The Java’s wheel was fitted on tho Constitution to steer with, nnd although we think it ugly, as you do, we keop it a trophy.” ftCr“Good morning, Mr. Smith, on the sick list to-day?” “Yes sir, got the ngue.” “Do you ever shake?” “Yes, shake like thunder.” “When do you shuke again ?” “Can’t snv when ; shako every day.— Why do you ask ?” “0, nothing in particular, only I tho’t if you.shook bad, I’d like to stand by and see if it wouldn’t shake the fifteen dollars out of your pocket, which you owe me.” Mr..

I’ll fight till I die!” “So’ll I,” sung out the negro; “J al ways does." following which wo find in tho ‘drawer,’ we take to be of Turkish origin. It sounds vastly like Nariazin, from whom we have before quoted. ‘As a woman was walking a man look ed at and followed her.’ ‘Why,’ said she, ‘do you follow me?’ ‘Because,’ ho replied, ‘I havC fallen in love with you.’ ‘Why so?’ My sister, who is coming afier mo, is handsomer than I am.
