There i-s reason to l.elieve that an armed expedition is nhi ut to be fitted out the 1 nited Flutes with an intention to ,nvade the island of Cuba or some of the ■ |,ru\inces of Mexico. The best informa tion which the Executive Ims been able to obtain points to the island <d Cuba as the object of this expedition, it is the duty of th,.s Govtrnineiit t. obsetve the faith of irea'ies, and to prevent any aggression by our citizens upon the territories ol ftiend |v nations. 1 have therefore thought it necessary and proper to issue this procla mation, to warn all citizens of the United chutes, who shall connect themselves with mi enterprise so grossly in violation of'our laws am! our treaty obligations, that they will thereby subject themselves to the j heavy penalties denounced against them bv our acts of Congress, and will forfeit their claim to the pi', tection ol their country. No such persons must expect the interfe- j rence of this Government, 111 any form, on ; the it behalt, no matter to what extremities ttiev may be reduced in consequence of their conduct. An enterprise to invade the territories of a friendly nation, set on foot and prosecuted within the limits of the United States, u in the highest degree crim inal, as tending to endanger the peace, and fompromit the honor, of this nation ; and, therefore, I exhort all good citizens, as 1 they regard our national reputation, as they respect their own laws and the Jaws of nations, as they value the blessings of peace and the welfare of their country, to discountenance and prevent, by all lawful means, anv such enterprise ; and I call upnn everv officer of this Government, civil or military, to use all efforts in his power to arrest for trial and punishment every such offender against the laws pro viding for the performance of our sacred obligations to friendly Powers. Given under my hand, the eleventh tlav of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty nine, and the seventy-fourth of the independence of the United States. Z. TAYLOR. By the president: J. >l. CLAYTON, Secretary of State. We copy the above proclamation from the -V ational Intelligencer of Tuesday, which, in publishing it, says it was received at the Department of State, on Monday, from Harrisburg, in a communication from Piesident Taylor. In reference to the Proclamation, the Intelligencer has the following remarks : • For some weeks past the errantry has been disturbed with rumours of the assem bling and drilling of bunds of men in dif ferent parts of the United States. Various places have been artfully designated as the object of their destination. Tampico and me Sierra Madre Provinces of Mexico, Yucatan and Cuba, have all been alluded to in connexion with the enterprise. But the truth ha# been studiously concealed by the leaders engaged in it. The common sol diers who have been enlisted were not to be entrusted with the secret as to the object to be effected until after embarkation.— Haw far the expedition has proceeded we know not. But we do know that bands of men have lately assembled at a point not far from New Orleans ; and that the ev idence is clear that Cuba is the real object of those engaged in it. Most earnestly do we hope that the President may succeed n arresting the perpetration of such an outrage on a friendly nation, and maintain ing unsullied the honor of our country. Plunder can be the only motive of such an enterprise; and all good men must rejoice to witness the honest redemption of Gen eral Taylor's pledges to his country, to preserve the faith of our treaties and sup press all illegal enterprise against friendly foreign nations. The gallant soldier who lias spent forty years in the camp, and braved the bullets of his country's enemies in so many battles—who has sounded all die shoals and depths of military glory— proves himself to the world to he, as we predicted before bis election that he would he, the ' MAN OF PEACC.' 'VIOLATED ALL HIS PLEOoes !'—Tins •s the universal cry of the Democracy against Gen. Taylor. For ' changing the men,' whom he found in office, he is charg ed with having violated his pledges. Out of their own mouths we will convict them. In the address of the Convention of the assembled Democracy of Virginia, which met in Lvnchburg last year, we find tho following passage: •A CHANGE OF MEN, or, to trans late into somewhat plainer language this griifkant phrase, the placing the public of h-es at the disposal of the Whig party , is probably a controlling motive with many of those who rule that party. * Ben. Taylor, speaking through the dele gatiort from his own State to the Whig baitotial Convention, PLEDGES Atmac// '> aid in bringing about A CHANGE BF MEN and of measures. 1 F'>r thus pledging himself, then, he was availed by the Democracy, and the per,- i " were appealed to to vote against him, h ''rnise lie would 'change the men and the ri " van ' then in office and in force- Ihe l-'eapie thought the proposed changes de '"'■ ale ; they therefore elected Gen. Fay- i tor.

V parly ol lom young men, consisting of •o in Blair, I homas Bard, James Spon* sler, and Charles A. JSponsler, lelt that [ lace with their guns, and proceeded to the country, in pursuit of game. In the aMernoon, the death of cue of their num ber took place under the following circum stances; James Sponsler hid just loaded his gun, and rested the barrel on his arm to put on the cap, and while in the act ot letting back the dog on the cap, it slipped from h?s thumb, and melancholy to relate, tho whole load was lodged 111 the head ol his brother Charles, an active vcuth of about 18 years, who stood about four or five feet behind him. The back part of his head was completely shattered, so that he fell to the ground a corpse. The agony of the friends, and of his brother cspeeial ! ly, was i 111 use. Fears were entertained that he might lose his reason, but it is now hoped that no such result will lake place. Shippetisburg News. UTICA. August 4. A distressing accident occurred 011 Thurs day last at Trenton Falls, by which Edward Bryan and his sister Eliza were drowned, ir, attempting to pass a dangerous point at that place. Their bodies have been recovered ; that of the brother at ten o'clock the same night, and the sister at four o'clock the next morning, by the conductor ot the Utica and Schenectady Railßoad. They were brought to this city last evening, and are to be buried immediately. M'CuRDr, Esq., publisher of the Ilar risburg Intelligencer, proposes to issue his pa per from the 16th inst. to the close of the elec tion campaign, for 25 cents per copy—with an extra copy to any one who will raise a club of four or more subscribers. £C-f*The publishers of the Harrisburg Tele graph, Messrs.

MR. EDITOR: —It is but seldom that 1 suffer myself to notice the incongruous productions of the editor of the nominally True Democrat, for the reason that in most instances they bear on their face too palpably the semblance of sophis try to need refutation; but when an individual, professing to promulgate truth, solar transcends the limits of his duty as to distort that principle in such a manner as to destroy even the sha dow of its existence, I cannot longer withhold an expression of my sentiments. I hold that an editor of a newspaper, whether political or not, has no legitimate right wilfully to misrepresent facts, in order to influence the minds of his readers. The denizens of a repub lic should exercise the right of sutfrage INTEL LIGENTLY ; and this end cannot be subserved by the toleration of cormivirig duplicity in our po litical organs. Whilst I admit the right of one man to differ in opinion with another, in regard j to any theoretical principle, I wholly disclaim the integrity and patriotism of politicians who , knowingly publish articles calculated to mislead the unsuspecting members of either party. Such are my opinions—and they are opinions ! which will meet tho approval of every real ' friend of republican institutions. Now, let me ' ask, has the True Democrat in its recent course, at all accorded with such sentiments? No. Its. statements relative to the whig county meeting were such as no one, who attended the meet- j ing, would pronounce true. To the editor, who predicates that the reso lutions reported by the committee were not adopted, (!) I would simply say, never promul gate an assertion which common seme would re pudiate ; and as to his informant, I would sug gest to him the propriety of procuring a pair ol leatlur spectacles, when ho again assumes to com- i pute numbers at aw hig meeting, as in that case ! he may be enabled to report a little m arer to i facts.
