The national comfort is still within the grasp of

The President is still accused of aiming at

hope he is said to entertain of being re-elected

of reaction in France, of the restoration of the

The Austro Piedniont Treaty is not yet set

of seventy-five millions indemnity money, the
Piedmontese Government further insists upon
amnesty being granted to the Lombard., the
Veni•ituis and to the inhabitants of Parma and
Placentia, which Austria peremptorily refuses
to comply with. Both parties have expressed
their determination to make no concessions, and
it is said that under the circumstances Sardinia
has demanded the support of France.

i'HOCLAMATiON.
WASHINGTON, August 14th, 1849
There is reason to believe that an
armed expedition is about to be fitted
out in the United States,
with an inten
tion to invade the Island of Cuba, or
some of the Provinces of Mexico. The
best information which the Executive
has been able to obtain, points to the
Island of Cuba as the object of this ex
pedition.
It is a duty of this Government to
observe the faith of treaties, and to
prevent any aggression by our citizens
upon the territories of friendly nations.
I have therefore thought it necessary and
proper to issue this proclamation, to
warm all citizens of the United States
who shall connect themselves with an
enterprise so grossly in violation of our
laws and our treaty obligations, that
they will thereby subject themselves to
the heavy penalty denounced against
them by our nets of Congress, and will
forfeit their claims to the protection of
their country. No such persons must
expect the interference of this govern
ment in any form on their behalf, no
matter to what extremities they may be
reduced in consequence of their con
duct.
An enterprise to invade the territor
ies of a friendly nation, set on foot and
prosecuted within the limits of the
United States, is, in the highest degree
criminal, ns tending to endanger the
peace, and compromise the honor, of
this nation ; and therefore,
I expect nil
good citizens, as they regard our nation
al reputation—as they respect their own
laws and the laws of nations—as they
value the blessings of peace and the
welfare of their country, to discourage
and prevent, by all lawful means, any
such enterprise. And I call upon every
officer of this Goverment, civil or mili
tary, to use all efforts in his power to
arrest, for trial and punishment, every
such offender against the laws provi
ding for the performance of our sacred
obligations to friendly powers.
Given under my hand, the eleventh
day of August, in the year of our Lord,
oue thousand eight hundred and forty
nine' and the 74th of the Independence
of the United States,
r ßy the President. 7. TAYLOR.
J. M. CLAYTON, Secretary of State.
The foregoing doclitrfent, says the North
American, is an able, direct and upright paper,
and well calcUlated to make a profound impres
sion upon our own country, and td exercise a
large and potential influence in our relations
with foreign gdvernments. Living in a great
commercial community, and sympathiiing with
all its interests, we feel deeply grateful for this
prompt and decisive step ; but, as citizens whO
value the petted of the country; who resfleci
the laws, and who would see faithfully fulfilled
our treaty obligations we cannot express too
strongly our sense of satisfaction at the spirit
of this proclamation. Whilst no one better
than Gen. Tayldr knows how to defend the
honor of the gdverntrient ; to fight its battles
and to insist upon its tights; sd tdo, no one bet
ter than he kndWs hdw td preserve Years and
to protect our plighted integrity frotri violation,
through the insane, ambitions or speculative ex
periments of desperate adventurers.
A Thiiilling Scene.
On Saturday Morning, about ten o'-
clock, as a hack belonging to Mr. J.
Btewart was about turning into Balti
mire street from St. Paula, one of the
front Wheels was caught by a drdy going
in' a contrary direction and taken off;
which caused the horses to start offdown
Baltimore street at a furious rater not
withstanding every effort of the driver
to hold them up. l'he street at the time
was crowded with vehicles of all des
criptions, but on went the horses with
the broken carriage attached without
corning in contact with anything until
below Calvert street, when the vehicle
striking against n passing omnibus, was
thrown With great violence against a
York wagon, breaking its axle, and driv
ing it in its turn against another small
vehicle 4. doing it considerable damage.
At this point, the hack upset with a
crash, and the horses becoming detach
ed dashed off with the shaft, the driver
holding on to the reins and dragging
after them, filling every beholder with
horror at the sight! As by a miracle,
however,tho man escaped, not only death
but serious injury, and loosing his hold
of the reins, was soon tuning after his
horses ! Between the point Where the
hack was upset and Holliday street, the
the horses came in contact with three
other vehicles, completly overturning
one, and doing all considerable injury.
To all who beheld the thrilling scene , . it
was a mutter 6f much wonderment that
no one was injured, as the street W.as
crowded with vehicles,and many Orsois
crossing and recrossing Not oven th 6
horses were injured. The cause of the
accident was attributed, by those who
Witnessed it, to the carelessness of the
driver of a buggy wagon; who; as the
hack of Mr. Stewart was turning into
Baltimore street, ran into it and forced it
into colision with the dray. The driver
of the hack, we shduld say, deserves
much prattle for his presence of mind, as
by his skilful management he prevented
the accident from being more serious in
its consequences.—Baltimore Clipper.
