J) 1 " M|j( 'I IBII1 Igggl. Treatment of United States citizens in Cuba?What may yet bo the Result.*? The Washington correspondent ("Independent") of the North American, referring to the fact that tho President has promptly fulfilled every obligation under . v the laws, in suppressing the lute expedi.'.?P tion to Cuba, intimates that there are | other and even higher duties in regard to I the treatment ot our citizens residing there, which he may have yet to perform, and which he will not shrink from, be the consequences what they may. lie fays: "The spirit evinced in tho reply to the application of the commrndar of the 1 steamer Ohio for a better anchorage, when recently at Havana, exhibits neither a friendly nor a discreet inclina,!">:\ and tho system of military imprison. winch was threatened against all forci.M H ers, is not precisely the mode of volunteering which would Ik: most agroeable to American residents. If the Captain f General of Cuba, misled by mistaken zeal, should attempt, under the mere in fluencc of suspicion or false report, to \ isit his wrath on any citizen of 'he ITniS ted States who was following a lawful pursuit, aiul~ who was not engaged in the g revolutionary movement., there is nopowin this government which can prevent the loso of Culm lo Spain, even if (here was every disposition on the part of the public authorities lo exert its military force for such n purpose."

Likuok, Apiil29, 1850 You may look for very stringent communications from your President to Conpress, in relation lo clnims made by the United States on Portugal, embracing the case of tb?

It is also well known hero that our govern * /.i. n . v Inifiib ronugoso government) has offered to leavo the question of those claims to be decided by any friendly pow or; or, so far us regards those of a mercantile character, to competent high-minded men. Your government, however in this ngo of peacemaking, is imperative and positively refuses s> to arbitrate! How far its greatness is shown in hectoring a small, honorable nation, which 1?n? been, for so many years, a friendly powI er, i?- for your lnive mass of frcc-thinking Si fearless citizens to say.
