r \ Affairs iu Florida. y TSe f.'lluwinnr interesting communication was | \ on ll.uts.lay last, laid before Uougrcss, by tlie ^j President of the United Slates : Washington, Jan. 18, 1853. - To the Senate and House of | Rep) escntafives of the United States: I have the honor herewith to transmit a re 8 port from the Secretary of the Interior, from I which it apjiears that the efforts of that depart I meni iu uiuuce mc inumiis remaining m x-iunuu to -migrate to the country assigned to their tribe .vest of the Mississippi have been entirely unsuccessful. The only alternative that now remains is either to comj>el thcin by force to comply with the treaty made with the tribe in May, 1832, by which tbey agreed to migrate within three years from that date, or to allow the arrangements v tnade with them in 1812, referred to in the Seoretnry's report, by which they were to remain in [ the temporary occupancy of a portion of the pe ninsula until the Government should see fit to "remove them, to continue. It canuot bo denied that the withholding of so large a portion of her territory from settlel inent, is a serious injury to the State of Florida, J^and although ovej. since the arrangement above preferred to the Indians have manifested a desire L to remain at peace with the whites, the presence L of a people who may at any time, and upon any B real or fancied provocation, be driven to acts of ^hostility, is a source of constant anxiety and M alarm to the inhabitants on that border. There can be nc doubt, also, that the welfare Tri/linrtc ivAiiIrl Kn hv fhoir rn K) Vt IUV' lliUlUi.o nvuiu k/v, j/I voivuvvi wj v.kvk *v f - uioval from a territory where frequent collisions ^between tliera and their more powerful neighbors faFe'duilv becoming more inevitable. HI; On the other hand, there is every reason .to KMbclieve that any manifestations of a design to rely'' move them by force, or to take possession of the k territory allotted to them, would be immediately f retaliated by acts of cruelty on the defenceless I inhabitants. The number of Indians now remaining in the State is, it is true, very inconsiderable, (not exKSfeeeding, it is believed, 6ve hundred;) but, owing ? to the great extent of the country occupied by Bkthem, aud its adaptatton to tbeirjieculiar mode Bw warfare, a force very disproportioned to .their numbers would be necessary to capture or ejmel them, or even to protect the white settleraelf? K from their incursions. The military force now E stitioned iu that State would be inadequate to t icse objects, and if it should be determined to force their removal, or to survey the territory alSv lotted to tbem, some addition to it would be ne>: Pessary, as the Goverument has but a small tjorc0- araimoie tor mai service, nuuiuuum u|>Kpropriations for the support of the army would H-mlso, in that event, be necessary. B- For those reasons I have deemed it proper to H submit the whole matter to Congress for such L actions as they may deern best. Millard Fillmore. Cuba and Central America.

The famous Monroe doctrine, so exultingly | proclaimed and reiterated, seems to have been |. scattered to the four winds, for the heart of this Western world is occupied by the most powerful Ijr of the European States, and her vessels of war V are constantly hovering around like birds of prey, tehipping off a bit here and there, and plastering I* I: on to some colony or other; elongating a I boundary line here, and seeing yonder a forest of I mahogany trees, forthwith proclaiming it Belize '[ ?feting under instructions, of course, s VThe possessions of Great Britain in the Wespyiem tropics seem to be increasing, and it be W hooves the American government to be vigilant, I lest some day they will be shut out from com[ raunicatiou with the Pacific States at a critical P moment.

Havana, Jan. 15, 1853.?Since the beginning of the present month, we have an expelled British merchant from St. Jago de Cuba, ordered out of that city by the Governor General, Medeuilla, who would not even give him a hearing, and he refused giving the British Consul l^tnerc any explanation whatever of such an arbif trary measure, on the plea that the Consul was f. only Vice Consul, and that Mr. Boylen was no ; British subject, bavin^-t^ken 0ut a carta dedomicllio, which every foreigner ^compelled to do before he can even reside in this island. The Captain General appears inclined to sup\ port the Governor of SL Jago in his outrageous act, on the principle de no retroceder ; but the question, if not settled here soou in a satisfactory way, will go before the British Parliament, as t lie British Consul here is firm in the defence of : the injured British subject. Mr. B. has brought letters from the constituted authorities in St. Jago, to testify to his high standing there. To the present time he is not aware even of the charge laid against him. lie ; offered $60,000 worth of property, and his per (son, fir a legal trial by the Spanish laws, but lie w0uM not he listened to.

One from South Carolina?John C. Calhoun ; and another from Pennsylvania George M. Dallas. The Vice President elect?William lu King?is from Alabama.?It will thus be seen that Virginia has furnished the most Presidents to the Union, and N. Y. the most Vice Presidents. Three of the Vice Presidents were made Presidents, viz : John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Martin Van Buren, by the choice of the people; and two?John Tyler and Millard Fillmore? came to that office by the death of the Presidents with whom they were respectively associated. The two Presidents that died before their time of office expired were General Harrison and general Taylor; the former within one month after his inauguration, and the latter a little more than a year after. Vice Presidents George Clinton, D. D. Tompkins, and Elbridge Gerrv died while in office, and two others, Aaron Burr and John C. Calhoun, resigned that position before their time expired by legal limitation. The latter immediately became a member of the U. States Senate, over which body he had presided as Vice President. "When Vice President Tyler became President by the death of Gen. Harrison, his office devolved on Samuel L.

Impartiality in Law.?The European Correspondent of the New York Times says: f The impartiality of the law has just been vindicated by the conviction of a Lord for a malig nant libel. I allude to the case of Lord Frankfort, who was tried at the close of last week; in the Court of Queen's Bench, for circulating hand bills containing the most profligate insinuations against the characters ot many rcspectaoie persons. His lordship ibr years past has acquired notoriety as a crazy profligate, and has figured on various occasions in the courts of law and at the police offices, and always much to his dis grace. The sentence passed on this aristocratic roue, is imprisonment for twelve months in the House of Correction, where his lordship now is, having, on his reception, been close cropped and washed, and made to undergo the usual discipline of convicted offenders. This is as it should be; and as Lord Campbell, in delivering his judgment, observed that the law made no difference between the peer and the peasant, there cannot possibly be a better44 subject" for the illustration of this admirable principle than Lord Frankfort. Rkmov.il of Fkke Persons of Colour from Virginia.? A bill has been reported in the Virginia house of delegates, which provides for the appointment of overseers, who are to be required to hire out, at public auction, all free persons of color, to the highest bidder, and to pay into the State treasury the sums accruing from such hire. These sums are to be devoted in future to sending free persons of color beyond the limits of the State.

The will of the late Amos Lawrence has been probated. It is of great length and was made years ago, but a codicil added, states that he sees no reason to alter its condition. Ilis large property is left to his direct heirs, male and female, and their descendants. The document exhibits evidence of the sagacity of thh testator. Ilis sons are named in the will as the executors. In the codicil, after returning thanks to God for prolonging his life, he says:?"

It contains several interesting and highly vald-i unblc papers which will be perused with interrt est by the non-professional as well as profesit sional reader. An article on the use of Quijr nine in Tetanus or Lock-Jaw, by E. A. Pye, s. M. D., of Louisiana, is especially worthy of ?e attention, giving as it does the successful reo suit of administering large doses of quinine in this, we believe generally considered, almost a incurable disease.

The Y> wound was apparently slight, little attention 0- was paid to it and it healed in the usual time, is Symptoms of Tetanus, however, soon made 's their appearance, and had gone on constantly from bad to worse, in spite of the treatment. He had been purged, blistered, had taken opih um, whiskey, spirits of turpentine, calomel, s- the hot and cold bath, but with no relief. At !d length it was determined to give quinine a J trial, and begin with 30 or 40 grains, and increase the dose until some effects were proit duced. At this time the intervals between the paroxysms had dwindled to but a few mod ments of partial ease, and with these transient re exceptions the patient was ^n a state of constant and most violent opisthotonos; and it s- was evident that unless relief could be procured, death must Toon close the terrible scene.

The improvement in the next two hours was evident. The paroxysms were not only less severe, but the interval was also ie decidedly longer and freer from pain. The boy's sensation of relief was yet more decided, and he clutched at his quinine and swallowed d it with an evident gusto, throwing his arms 11 heavily about, and saying that he felt "drunk" and "happy." ^ The case went on regularly improving; the only other medicine given being an occasional dose of oil. At the end of two weeks the boy had taken two ounces of quinine; was entirely "" free from all symptoms of tetanus; had expe' rienced no bad effeet from this enormous quan^ tity of quinine; no tinnitus durium?deafness I ?fulness of the head. The muscles had be( come relaxed, the skin was acting finely, the ^ bowels were free?the only peculiar effect of the quinine being the feeling of the patient as if he were about half drunk or happy. In the following two weeks half an ounce of quinine ^ was administered in gradually diminished doses, to prevent any bad effects from the sud, den withdrawal of an agent, which, whatever ^ its modus operandi, had kept the patient "hapa py" for two weeks despite Tetanus.

The Lancaster Express from which we derive our facts, states that the rapid consumption of cockroaches used e to give the nutty and peculiarly piquant flavor e to wine, had made it difficult to find a sufficient ,t supply. In this dilemma the wine maker cotie eeived the happy idea that bedbugs might be used |. as a substitute. He tried the experiment and the result was far more satisfactory than he had j. anticipated. It was found that a quart of bedd bugs contained as much of flavoring principle as i. three pints or more of the roaches?and that the e former have but little of that narcotic sleep producing effect which is attributed to the latter.? g Contracts have been made with some of the L fashionable boarding house keepers in Philadelphia and New York for an ample supply of this ? new article of traffic.

"The opinion is quite prevalent in the States g that the resources of California consists almost I entirely in her mineral wealth, and that but a small portion of the State is adapted to cultivaj tion. There is no greater error than this. So r_ far from the soil being as barren and sterile as it r has been represented to be, neaily the whole t State possesses a wonderful fertility, and adap' tation to easy cultivation. To be sure, much of the country in the latter part of the dry season appears to be incapable of producing anything, j_ yet this very same soil, if sowed with wheat or Y barley, soon after the rains set in, yields the most ^ wonderful crops. However, a few facts, showing Q what has been produced here already, although 0 this branch of industry is still in its infancy, will k give a much better idea of the agricultural ca,t pacity of California, than any mere description 'e could give. Through the enterprising and the most indefatigable industry of Colonel Warren <fc Co. of r.

Incredible as the above account may sefcm, it is none the less true, for most of the products mentioned-were seen and exathined by jour correspondent, a? much to his surprise as this description of them is to that of your readers. | Dean Swift was once traveling through one of the rural parishes some leagues from London, and introducing himself to the parson as a member of the same profession, was invited to partake of his fraternal hospitalities. The Dean consented, and accompanied the parson to his o1iui>a1i tlio novt mArninrr onrl fltorn liurl tliA cof'ic. faction of bearing one of his own sermons preached by an ignorant u Bible banger," without a hint or a word of acknowledgement. When the services were over, the Dean asked the preacher how long it took him to w rite such a sermon. M Oh !" said the minister, MI wrote that in two hours." " Did you indeed 1" said the Dean, in reply; " why it took me over two weeks to write that rery sermon!" The Female Heart. There is nothing under heaven so delicious as the possession of pure, fresh, immutable affection. The most felicitous moment of man's life?the most ecstatic of all his emotions and sympathies, is that in which he receives an avowal from the idol of his heart. The springs of feeling, when in their youthful purity, are fountains of unsealed and gushing tenderness? the spell that at once draws them forth, is the mystic light of future years and undying memory. Nothing in life is so pure and devoted as a woman's love. It .matters not whether it be for o okJlAfc. eje^r ko^fko.. U Jo ?k? a Jiuourtiiu, ui vuuu) vt oioutij vi it to tuc same pure unquenclialle flame, the same constant and immaculate glow of feeling, whose undeniable touch-stone is trial. Do but give her one token of love, one kind word, one gentle look, even if it be amid desolation and death, the feelings of that faithful heart will gush forth as a torrent iu despite of every bond or mercenary tie. More priceless than the gems of Golconda is the female heart, and more devoted than the idolatry of Mecca, is woman's love. There is no sordid view or qualifying self-interest in the feeling. It is a principle and characteristic of her nature?a faculty and infatuation which absorbs and concentrates all the fervor of her soul and all the depths of her bossom. I would rather be the idol of one unsullied and unpractised heart than the monarch of empires. I would rather possess the immaculate and impassioned devotion of one high-souled and.enthusi&stic fe male than the sycophantic fawning of millions. Lousiana and Cuba.?The New Orleans Del ta of Saturday says: "We understand that resolutions will be presented in oar Legislature, in a few days relative to the expediency of the acquisition and anncxa- ? tion of the Island qt Cuba. The resolutions will refer to the declaration of President Fillmore, that the annexation of Cuba is not desired by the people of the United States and will give a flat denial to such unauthorized averments. We shall be pleased to see these resolutions pass the Legislature by such a vote as will produce some decided effect at the capital and in the North, in correcting the growing error that the annexation of Cuba is not desired by a large majority of the people of the South or that it is believed to be perilous to the agricultural interests of the South." Free Colored Persoxs ix Delaware.?A bill has been introduced into the Delaware Legislature to modify the law passed last .year, which prohibits the return to that State of'Yree persons of color, who may temporarily go beyond its limits. The people, with great unanimity, it is said, have called for the propos^J modification, as an act of humanity. Acknowledgments Of Subscriptions received for the Journal.
