t ion, has Frequently been assorted and ac
ted upon. Our gallant officers entered
fteely into the servieo of thosTexans, when
Waggling for independence,, and the Tex -
ans lamed money, bought arms, and pro
cured aid among us, as did also Don Car
los, in London, when he attempted to seize
the emtrn of Spain. Hundreds of similar
instances present themselves; affording
precedents that justify the entering into
the service of the Cubans, against their op-.
pressors. The practicability of the enter
prize is unquestionable. A force of 3,000
or 4,000 Americans landed in Cuba, in the
winter months, would have to contend
with perhaps 14,000 Spaniards, divided
in small garrisons thrOughout the island,
each at the mercy of the people, if those
people have a sufficient rallying .poidt.—
Sixty days probably would sulliloe to place
a provisional government at the ttad of' af
fairs, declare the independenee,nl" - fhe isl
and, organize its revenues, and defi
ance to . the utmost power of Sp, n. In
fhct, it is questionable whether -that gov'•
ornment could stand at all unsupported by
the revenues,of the island. No state of'
Europe is in lower credit than Spoilt Ills
finances are in the worstlpossible condi
tion, and its impaverished people lithe
dis
posed to suffer new oppressions fur the
maintenance of a control over tut,
the resources of which are served only to
feed tho debaucheries of rulers,'Odious to'
the mass of the people, and to afford pla
ces for the reward of the corrupt cicves of
the ex-queen regent. The changed aspect
of Europe has altered the views of France;
towards trans-atlantic possessions, and the
republican sympathies of that people would
hail the release of Cuba from the despot
ism that crushes it. In the views of Eng- ,
land, the last twenty years have wrought
an immense change. In that period of
time, she lias ruined her own West India
colonies, by paying $100,000,000 to eman
cipate their slaves. That she at one time
sought, in the emancipation of the Cuban
negroes, to raise the value of her own di- ;
lapidated colonies on the ruins of that isl
and may be true. But she abandoned the
scheme, and in reducing the duties on slave !
grown sugar, admitted the necessity her'
people had for the labor of the slaves or
Cuba and Brazil. The progress of free
trade principles has further loosened her
hold upon trans-atlantic colonies, - 'end she
is hall-inclined to relinquish her leoble
grasp upon Canada. At such a moment,
she would
,have little desire to meddle with
il
Cuba. It has been stated that the govern
ment at Madrid, foreseeing the impossibil
ity of much longer holding ceutref of the
island, manifested a desire to L.-0 w hat they
could by vlling it to England for VO,-
000,000. But she will !bit of her custo
mer. The debt of England is already
more than her people will much longer
submit to, and was raised to its present a
mount by paying £20,000,000, say 8100,.
000,000, in emancipation of her West In
dia slaves, in 1835, which sum was utter
ly thrown away. To give £20,000,1)0t)
mor for Cuba, would involve a further out
lay of £20,000,000 to emancipate the
slaves ; say an expenditure of $200,000.-
000, and to no purpose, since the repeal
of the navigation laws, and ti e modifien
don of the tariffs, would as effectuall,
throw all the trade of Cuba, as an Eng
lish province, into the hands of the United
States, and perhaps more surely, than if
she remained independent with her own
laws.
Under the influence of annexation, the
property of the Cubans would immediate- I
ly equalize with that of similar property in
the United States, and the sugar planta
tions of Louisiana would find, in the hith
erto untouched soil of Cuba, the means of
underselling the world in sugar; while the
capacity of Cuba to purchase and consume
the beef, ham, flour and other supplies of
the Western states, would develope itself
in an almost limitless degree. The 820,-
000,000 now drawn from the island, an
nually, for remittances to Madrid, accum
ulating in the island as a capital in the em
ployment of its free industry, would draw
desirable settlers from all nations to avail
themselves of its limitless advantages.

Arrival of Patriot .Relagees.--Colonels
Ney and Villechamp, Hungarian refugees,
came passengers in the brig Cliefiamus,
Which arrived at this port on Saturday
from Smyrna, via Gibrulter. Col. Ney
saw his brother shot by the Austrian
butchers, from whom he had the good for
tune to escape. He is a relative of Mar
shal Ney. An American ship-chandler is
said to have smug led these fugitive patri
ots on board the Chenamus, at Gibrulter.
The police were after them; but on ac
count of the brig being in .quarantine they
did not molest them. As Captain Moore,
.of the Chenamus, was passing the fort he
.was fired upon for mot having the Ameri.

Our iOvices from Constantinople are 'of
the 30th August. A letter from that city
of that date, say's:
The news froth Hungary.. has caused
great excitement amongst the Turks.—
Their regret at the unfortunate termina

garian envoy, Count Andrassy, hopes that
he ,may he able to induce the Ports:lto ex

!friends, who haye taken refuge in Turkey.
The Count; I believe, will be seconded in
his efforts by Sir Stratford Canning and , l
'Ceneral Aupielt. On the other hnnd; the
Itets7:itin and Austrian representatives are
employing telLthAr influence to persuade
•the Sultan's ministers to refuse an asylum

great was Keiss 's horror of the death of

The Whigs have a large.-majority in the
city, and have haii:ciliitral of the city gov

years, "posst sting all the emoluments,

their usual custom, and have made no no

to "the poWers that be," and the Whigs are
evidently afraid that their power will de
part from them.
The Frcuell Minister.
From the most reliable accounts, we
arc in'brmed that an effort was made, %% 'th
in a day or two after our government dis
missed Mr. Pous3lN, the French Minister,
to minstate him as the representative of
the French government at Washington,
throUgh the intervention of the British
Minister, the French 'Minister offering to
recall all the offensive language he had u

Pr4rt Napoleon has sur
prised.as' all, by his sudden liberal policy
towards Rome, indiettled'in his letter to
Col. N - cy ; & you will be rejoiced toknow,
that his policy will he still - more liberal
than that indicated. This I have; from
the highest source; and that he .will not
yield an iota to the Cardinals.
• .The President was opposed in his views
by a portion of his Ministry. He there
fore adopted the happy expedient of ad
dressing an unofficial•letter to his iiid,Col.
Ney, with instructions to the Colonel to
give it publicity. He thereby throws the
. responsibility open his Ministers, to tip
'Wove his letter or resign, In this, the
President has shown' himself quite a diplo
matist. He did not feel himself sufficient
ly strong to remove any of hi's MiniSiers,
in advance of the question; but before the
Ministers have time to act upon the letter,
they find the President sustained by the I
talian, English and. French press. It is
now believed, that not more than two of
the Ministry will oppose the President ; &
as their opposition will be at the sacrifice
of their places.; it is probable that they will
give in their adhesion.
The popular opinion here is, that the
Pope aril be as unyielding . as the Presi
dent ;.and that a general European war is
inevitable; hut this is not the opinion of
those highest in theconfidence of the Pres
ident.
The President & his friends, who ought
to know beSt—confidently rely upon ths
Pope's yielding.to their wishes.
Whatever designs the {;rent Powershavo

Canada continues inn state of agitation.
The turbulent spirit that lately prevailed
in montreal has broken out at Bytown, on
the Ottawa river, about one hundred miles
west of Montreal. A public meeting of
friends of Lord Elgin was held on the 18,
inst., to frame an address to his lordship.
The opposite party got into the chamber,
and succeeded in getting resolutions passed
condemnatory of Lord Elgin end his gov
ernment. A riot ensued, in which fire.
arms were used and several persons were
injured ; some it is said, fatally. Tho
military were called out,, and eller same
difficulty, succeeded in restoring order.
Since then the constant presence of sol
chefs has been found necessary in order to
prevent the angry spirit of the two parties
from breaking out afresh.
What is to be the result of all this 'l—
disquiet' is no longer confined G the
capital of the provinces, but, has extended
to the country and seems likely to spread;
ibr there is no disease so contagious es
political disaffection. The Canadians are
suffering under many grievances. Their
Governor, Lord Light, has by his ill judg.
cd attempts to please to many, dissatisfied
all. A cry of "annexation" has arisen,
and has been taken up by many in all
tarts of the provinces. Tariff grievances
have excited many. Differences of na.
IL:11.114y, among French-find British, have
created bitter hostility between the two re
ce.. The confusion and . discord created
by these causes arc aggravated by the
sight of the quiet prosperity of their
hors ()film United States._ The spirit or
Idisorder seems on the point of breaking
!out with violence and we May" well ask,
what is to be the result of all this 1
Wu learn Iron) the Reading Press, that
a ploody tragedy was enacted iu the Berke
county poor house on Szituttlay evening
last, involving the destruction of a family,.
consisting of a wife and daughter, by the
father, and his death by suicide, after ho
had inflicted dreadful wounds upon the
head and throat of the wife, with a razor
and hammer,
_and severing the throat of
the daughter, a girl some 18 years old,
with the same instrument. His name is
Frederick Stahl, a native of Germany,
and his conduct has always been marked
with propriety; but he may have, been led.
to the act by the hopeless condition of his
wife, who is insane, and that of his dauglt!,
ter,' long confined to her bed by lamenesh
and unable to utter a word. The wife,
made her escape from the chamber, with
her neck all lacerated by the razor, and.
her head all battered with the hammer,.
the handle of which broke in his hands.
When the overseer, entered, he found,
Stahl reeling to the floor, where he instant•
ly expired—the daughter lay.. ia, her gm,
on the bed, with her throat cut from car
