They have appealed in vain to the mother country, and the island is red-treed to the condi tion of an immense prism!, wh'ere every Cuban. is watched by a guard, and has fo pay for watch. inn him. All attempts by legitimate means; fo restrain the excesses of - their rulers, have been visit ted upon the Cubans as acts of attempted re bellion. They eihibited their opposition to the unlaw': fal Slave Trade, and as a consequence, Gene. , ral O'Donnell, satiated his vengeance by in.- volving them in a charge of conspiracy with the free people of color and slaves of the estates-- All the laves of society and nature have been. trampled under foot. Accused persons have' been shot withnnt fri . rm of trial—free coloredpeo” pie have been first lacerated by the lash, andl then hurried to the scaffold. An nttemped rising of the Cubans in behalf of independence, has been immediately followed hyill - renTSTI arming 1 them for their extermination Publicly and by legislative act, has Cuba been deprived of the rights enjoyed by all Span iards, and conceded by nature and the laws to nations the least advanced in civilization. Publicly' have the sons of Cuba been cut off from all admission to the commands and lucra tive employments of the State. Publicly arc the unlimited—powers of•every description granted to the Captain Generals of. Cuba ; who can refuse to those whom they con-- demn, even the right of a trial, and the privilege of being sentenced by a tribunal. Public and permanent, in the island of Cuba,. are those courts martial, which the laws permit only in extraordinary cases of war, for offences against the Slate. Publicly, has the Spanish press hurled against Cuba, the threat of converting the Island into -ruin - and ashes, by liberating the Slaves, and un chaining against her the hordes of barbarian Af ricans. MEI For these and other reasons, the people of Cuba solemnly declare "that the Island of Cuba. is, and, by the laws of nature ought to be, inde. pendent of Spain ; and thatthencelorth the inhabit. 'tants of Cuba are free from all obedience ye ..:ultp-ction to the Spanish Government, and the. individuals compo , int; it; owing submission only to the authority and direction of those who. while a wohing the action of the general , ulrrage. of the pet t)le, are charged, or may provisionally elmr.te thems.elves, with the command and Gov_ ernment ofeach locality,and of the military forces.. An indirect appeal is made to the various classes—eiihired, white and military—as well a s the o ld Spaniards, and the Declaration, whichi is well calculated to produce a wow: sensa tion in the popular mind, concludes with this lanv,ungo ..tf, notwithstanding nor porposes and (*rater. nal intentions, the Spani.4ll government should find partizans obstinately bent upon snistaining it, and we Inve to owe our liberty only to the force of arms.

We. copy the following from the Kent (Delaware) Beacon, as confirmatory of our views of the character of this Bank :—.The Salisbury Bank, or rather the Bank of Salisbury, Md., is believed by those who ought to know, to be a worthless, rotten concern, and will shortly explode like the Irate worthless Havre de Grace Bank. Almost, the entire stock of this institution is held by New York Wall street brokers, as was also the capi, tal stock of the Commercial Bank of Millington., and the Havre de Grace Bank. We caution the. public against the current funds, the issues of. this bank, or they may become the sufferers in. the end. This bank is but about forty miles tbs.- tant from us, and strange as it may seem to some its notes do not circulate in this community;: none are offered, and if offered would be rtfused Its issues have never passed current in this cont. munity, and the institution has always been re garded as unsound and unworthy of any confi.... dence."
