Engineer or superintendent be .appointed on
the said canal„ unit it s!tali/be ascertained there
will be the ram of one'hundred and fifty thousand
Millers in dieTretentry / afirt otherwise appropriated."
With a view to et-eking out a joint report I fre.
quently called toile Mr. Ball, the State Treasnrer
for the purpose of consultation, and submited to
him all papers of calculation and' approximate es
titnatettand earnestly' desired such a censotration
and comparison of opinion as would enable us to
&Omit to your Excellency a joint report. I found.
-however, an indisposition on his part to consult on
the subject and a desire that we shotild make sop
male reports. '
After laborious invesitation of the several rev
enue laws, and the receipts under them for a seri
es of years—and by instituting acomparison—with
proper consideration of the probable receipts under
the late•enactments, and the amonnermpaid of the
appropriations of last -session, and the probable
amount thereof the Treasurer would be called up
on to pay before the'first of February sex—l thus,
mature reflection ascertained that it was reason
able to estimate that there would be an excess
in the State Treasury on the first of February 1850,
after. aying the imerest on the public debt. then
falling duo, 09152,729 13—and acccinlingly made
such eitimatei'and officially notified your excellen
cy hereof.
The State Treasurer saw the statement before I
handed- it to the secretary of the Commonwealth—
was present when I handed it to that officer, and
did not redo his report for Several hoofs after,
as the Secretary informed me. " fle also knew that
my report was to be transmitted to your Excellen
cy hy the mine mail that conveyed his, both of
which were received by you on the same day, as
'appears by your official notification tp the Board
of Canal Commissioners, which you say, "Having
received this day per mail from the State Treasur
er anti Auditor General two several statements of
the present condition of the Treasury troni,both of
which it , wiU appear that alter the payment of inte
rest due on the public debt and the liquidation and
payment of other claims for which appropriations
hare been made by the Legislature and retaining
a reasonable balance in the Treasury, there is the
mm of cone hundred and fifty thousand dollars
which may be safely applied to the completion of
the North Branch canal."
It is strange indeed that theStaie Treasurer should
make a statement to your excellency calchlated to
mislead the public in reference - to so importart a
subject and fo induce the belief that I had reported
a less sum than was required to authorize the com
mencement of the work. He knew that agreeably
to the reports made by each of us, that the Wei re
/aired...that the work should- be commenced, and
it was made the duty of your Excellency to notify
the Canal Commissioners thereof,-iihoere duty it
shall be to place under contract a corresponding
amount of work." And yet With - a 101 l knowled
ge ol the fact that I had reported an uaappropriated
balance in the Treasury sufficient in amount to au .
toriiie the commencement of the work—he says in
his official communication " Under the circum•
stances, I deem it my duty to lay before you fore:
going statement exhibiting, the unappropriated bal
ance in the treasury, in order that you may take such
action in the premises as in your wisdom may be
best for theinterest of the State."
I am not able to perceive that any state of 'r cir
cumstances" existed that required the exercise of
the Wisdom of your excellency. No discretionary
power was conferred. Thr state Treasurer and-Au
ditor General hating cfficially reported that there
would be an vmpropriated balance in the Treasury
exceeding SlsB,ooo,•that being thesum required
by the law to authorize the commencement of the
work, what other " action" could you take than
simple to comply . with the law by notifying the
Canal Commissioner* of the tact that the State
Trait:net and Auditor General had reported that
thereVonld be iamb in the Tteristiry, after pay
ment of the interest on the state debt falling duo On
the first of February 1850, and. all other demands,
sufficient to authorize and
. require the work to be
commenced. .1 have thought it proper to make this
communication to prevent a misapprehension of
my views.
I am, with great respect,

balloon, his feet beirg attached to a board and his

once but the fire was extinguished. After a length
of lime, the inflation witis'compfelee and the ma
chine ascended. TheHerild says it was a daring
and a most dangerous feat, and for. this reason-:
there was no. car attached to the balloon, and sec
ondly, •he had no control whatever over the
balloon itself. To see a Inman being thrungh the

cutter visited the vessel but could discover noth
ing." ,
The New Orleans packet Union; with men on,
board, has already sailed, it is believed, for Cuba.:
Whether the proceedings of our District Attorney
will derange operations remains to be seen.
The delay which has taken place in the sailing
of the Expedition has been caused by the failure
of anticipated remittances. Probably but for this;
the vessels would have been off before the Gov:.
ernment was ready to arrest them.
Free vessels cannot be libeled, but there 14 6 ' an
act of Congress, under which they can be detained
at the pleasure of the President until the suspicioui
circumstances are explained. .
Six warrants have been issued against individn-
Ma supposed to be connected with this affair, (Ed
ward Weir, Pigot, Clark, Marriott. McFallan,) bin
only one has yet been arrested. He was held to
bail in *5.000, which he gave and was discharged.
Probably Government will be content with break
ing up the expedition, and should the protect be
permanently abandoned, the law will not be enfor
-.ed against the parties implicated.
Excitement In Clubs.
Nair Oatcass, Wednesday, Sept. 5
By Ihe arrival of the Royal Mail Steamship Se
rem at Mobile, we tire in possession of dates from
Havana to the 29th ott. Letters published in the
Delta states that the greatest excitement prevails
throughout the Island. The Captain• General had
called out a fotce of 4,000 men and had sect large
bodies of troops to Principe. Trinidad. and to Sarni
ago de Cuba which towns it was rumored were in
a state of insurrection. -
The English Consul had written to Jamacia for
the Governor to send more ships for the protection
of British interest and property. The Captain-Ge.
neral had forbid the delivery of New Orleans pa.
pars from the Post r)ffice. The papers say nothing
of the insurrection, and attribute the military move,
menu' to the reception of the Presiden'ts Proelarna;.
non and the feajs of the expedition against Cuba.

The following is the coreespondenee between

The matter of Mr. Giddifi g dand his charge -

Ph Consul, &c. The New-Or/sans Bee of the 20th
ult. says;
A short time previous to The departure of the
' Salvador* tram Havana,
our Consul, Gen. Camp
bell, accompanied bs , Dr. Gage, visited the Captain
General of Cuba, and in a protracted interview in
sisted on - die liberation of Rey. The Conde de Al
coy was at first loth to yield, and asked for time
to deliberate. This was granted and at the expira
tion of some days the COilflii and Dr. Gage again
visited the Captain General, and after much con
versation of an earnest and very serious character,
His Excellency concluded to accede to the demand.
It is shrewdly surmised that the Count of .Aicoy's
determination was considerably quickened in Cal
deron de la Barest, Minister Plenipotentiary from
Spain, at Washington, in which that functionary ad
vised His Excellency to furrendet Rey. to the au
thorities of the United States.
Rey persistedi n declaring that he was forcibly
abducted. Upon landing, ho was disposqd to tat
loudly and be rather noisy, and when his friends
requested him to subdue- his excitement, he an
swered that he was in a land of freedom, and had
no garrote to fear for speaking his mind. His sto
ry, as stated to his friends here, and by them cir
culated throughout the city, is to the same -effect
as hisletter to - our Consul at Havana, in which he
solemnly averred that he had been kidnapped and
carried off against his will.
