American vessels, should he discontinued, and that the in'Ct peremptory order for that purpose should he given and enforced. Such a measure is called for hy important considerations, which will readily occur lo yon. While this Government is determined louse ull proper exertions for the tMtpprrssiou of the Slave Trade, it is not less desirous lhat of the just immunities of vesaele of the United States upon the ocean should he preserved.

Mr. Iilythc, Consul General at Havana, communicates to the State Department, under dato of April, 20; a statement of the capture of the schooner Cortez, of New York, by the British guuhoat Forward, on or about the 15th of April, about half wny between 1 favana and Matuuzas. lie says that for some time part a number of Itrilish gunboats and largo vessels have been aclivA ill ??rilinlilMr frtr altiUON nn tlw? r?rwl omitU side of the Island. Many complaints hare been made hy American masters that espoinagn has been exercised over their vessels b.?th annoying And insulting ia their character. The American ' riff A. F. Chapman, trading to New Orleans, was thus anno)-ed 011 her last visit to lluvnua. Her commander complained, and expressed fears of being pursued and boarded. Similar complaints were inade a few days after by Mr. Simpson, Captain of the Brawnsville, in the saino trade.? Samuel Ubendinm of the hark Gleubnrn ol Richmond complained that he was stopped ou the 15th April by tue British BW-niuec Basilisk, while on m voyngo from Antwerp to Havana, and hoarded by an ofliccr, who stated that he had orders from the Admiral at Jamaica to board any vessel in the neighborhood of Cub'nl Several affidavits from passengers 011 board the schooner Cortez accompany Consul Blythe's letter?one of whom says life was roliHcd l;y *lio crow of the British gunboat, the captain of which WHS diUftfc* There is alw> the evidence of ihe seamen sustaining ihe facts"alleged. The documents were referred to tfce Cchrimiltee ou Foreign Relations. 77te Mormons?The WasTitngton Union.' referring to the reported aubmissiou of the Mormons, says: ' Mere passivity or non-resistance on the part of the Mormons, ill the presence of our army, will amount, hoYvdvlf, t?> very little in the settlement of this Mormon trouble. The real course of Utah is the impdMer, Bvigliam Young; and #>ven if the news be trute of his pacific overtures to the officers sent out_by the Government, we doubt whether it cau be regarded aB a bond f.dc Hiibmission. No settlement of Utah difficulty can ho regarded as effectual or reliab'o which leaves this impostor iu the exercise of his dominion over the religious mind of that community.? We may have the semblance of peace, but llicic ran be 110 peace ill fact between the federal gov i-rnment and the community who acknowledge Young as their ruler and prophet. Nor can thee be any security in that community for tin citizens of tho United States who prefers a differ cut belief, so long aj the despotism of tho Mor inou church remains. Were the reported newt true, therefore, we should be slow to regard it at conclusive of peace; to regard any peace as re' liable which left Brigham Young the despot ol l't\b.'' This is tbe proper view of the subject. Tin objects of tho mHitury expedition to Utah wil not be accomplished till the laws of thfe Uniter States are rendered-the supreme law for tbfc tcr ritory, and every institution and authority inimi nal to those laws entirely broken up and re moved. The leaders who set. themselves up it rebellion agniniit the federal (government liavi made Ihemiielves amenable to the laws of tin country, aud should bo promptly and severely punished, to prove that tbo power of tho Gov ernment can reach a traitor even in hia mott <)is tant stronghold.

Some lit tits excitement Ins sprung up in Wash, iugton city, and oilier localities, bee a u so of stateincuts tliat a British cruising vessel lia<l overhauled several American vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, ami in some instances th'.-y have tired info our vessels, thus offering an insult to our flag. The pretext for this insolence is thai our vessels were suspected of heing slavers. It will ho Keen by tho official dispatches wo publish fiom tho Secret iry's Department, thai in coses where there has been any official statement of these rumored insults, that th? Department bus promptly coirtaunicatcd the facta to the British Minister, and also to !\tr. Dallas, our Minister to England. John Hull bus bad some intimation of the Pearl Ilivcr Slm-e Tnxln ?n.1 i?? Ilia head to send 11is cruisers along our coast (o prevent it, and to carry out thia project, wo suppose ho has instructed hia officials to institute an indiscriminate search of nil American vessels; l>ut it io hardly probable that Uunclo Sam will bo disponed to submit to the exercise of this riglit. The right of England to establish and maintain a polico cspionago over all vessels aail. ing upon the great common highway of nations has long been disputed, and tho denial of which by our Government led to the war of 1812.? Sinco that timo the right, if existing at all, has been in abeyance, and we think that every attempt to claim and exercise it should, and no dctibt will", bo promptly resisted by the Executive. The Pearl River Slavo Trade, if it has an ex{stance, except in imagination, in precisely the same as that now being carried on by Engluud, in the transportotion of Coolies, under the op. prentice system, to her West India Colonies, ana also l?y Trillion, direct from Africa.

THE TARIFF REPORT. We copy from the A'alional IntiUiyncer th< following Resolutions, from the report of the Re lect Committee, of which Mr. Bovck was ('hair man. The ofiico of the Committee was to re purt upon tlie expediency of abolishing our pros ent Revenue System, and resortiiig toilirect las alien as a moans of supporting tho Government Such a radical change cannot be effected at once It must be llie work of time. The report cou eludes by offering the following Resolutions: 1. llesitlved, That the vast and increasing e.x peniliturcs of tho Feder.il Government indicate I ho necessity of a change in our fiscal nysten whereby the protective policy shall be entire!; ahiiii<lnnc.d. am! a resort had nl n? parlr n ?nrin. as may be practical exclusively to direct taxa t ion. 2. Rt*olvc<l, That the existing tariff is do fee live as being founded on the protective policy 11s taxing certain nrticles of prime necessity toi higli, as not discriminating sufficiently so as 1 throw the hardens of taxation as much as pos sible on articles of luxury, to the exemption ? articles of necessity, and as placing certain nr tides on the free list which should pay duty ; am that any modification of the tariff which ma' ho made should he made so as to avoid those do feci:*, and for the purpose of using the tariff mere lv as a fiscal instrumentality. 3. Rcsolrcd, That the highest development a the industrial resources of the country is to b attained by the greatest freedom of exchanges which can only he' thoroughly accomplished b the entire abolition of duties ou imports and , resort exclusively to direct taxation. 4. Rcnolved, That the system of direct taxatioi presenting the most advantages is for each Stat to collect and pay over its quota, to be ascei taiucd by the constitutional rule of apportion inent, thus insuring perfect equality and dispeu sing with multitudes of Federal officers. 5. Re*nlved, That the navigation laws shoul ho so modified as not to reouire any portion c llie officers and crews of American ships to b American citizens, and thut American citizen shall be free to purchase and sail foreign bui ship* on an entire equality with American bui ships, and that tho American coasting trade sha! be open on terms of porfcct equality to foreig ships. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. We make the following extract from the Waal ington correspondence of the Charleston Evcnin Xeict: Tho Colorado, which left Norfolk on the 12t inst., to keep tlie British Wur Steamer Sty straight, was also instructed to take in her wa one or two other vessels of the Home Squadioi arid intimate to them the utility of their proi ence in the West Ipdian Waters. The flag shi of the squadron lias heen telegraphed to vi New Orleans. If Great Britain's instructioi to her cruisers are as positive to persist in searcl ing our vessels, as the instructions of our Goi ermfielU are positive to prevent such eearchin; a serious collision between the powers is inevit hie, and we may soon expect to hear of deatru tivc naval engagements. It is surmised by son here, that the suppression of the slave Irado is mere pretence on the part of Great Britain surround Cuha with her navy. While her re design is to Aggravate ii collision 'With the Spa ish authorities and ultimately seize that Islun The sigiiB of the times, however, hardly warra such a conclusion. r If the report of the surrender of the Mormo proves true, it is Die intention of the Governme to establish a strong military station at Salt Lai i City, for the double purpose of keeping the Mc mons iu subjection," and subserving the gener convenience and atrsnlrth of thn Armv All il preparations that have been made for the car paign w;ll be carried through, and all the mi tafy stores iu transitu,-, and a considerable pn of the force will be retained in Salt Lake Cit And, as we intimated yesterday, order* ore in luring at the Department, for a detachment the troops to return by woy of the Mexici frontior. < f Death of Oen.

THE SLAVE TRADE OF MISSISSIPPI. : Wc copy the following from the Advocate, published at Charlottesville, Virginia: ' The African Slave Trade to the South.?We J have seen, once or twice recently, newspaper paragraphs to tho effect that tlie African clave ' trade was successfully carried on with some parts of the CJulf States. As tlicso reports were subsequently denied, and because we could not ! think that such a project could be successful in . this the nineteenth century, ami in evident violation of the laws of tho United States and the \ sentiment of civilization, we concluded that the reports were unfounded. Such is not, however, 1 the fact. Wc lite tolJ by u mc.st reliable genl Ionian, who was an eyewitness ol what he spca'.s, that several cargoes of native Africans have beon landed within the Inst twelve months upon the bankxof lYarl River, Mississippi. Tlicy were, it is : true, brought ovee under the mere* pretext of indented apprenticeship; hut no one doubts that they are, and will continue to he, slaves in every Sense of the word, and ft?t all time. These negroes were scattered through the Southern connties of Mississippi ; they were sold at a low ?g uro, but still high enough to make the eir.cipiisc . a most profitable one for those engaged in it. A ~ 1 - 1 1:1. i- -i mail aim wuhi.wi, )wwug illMl lIKl'l} , entirely unaccustomed to the work for which ' "theJ are destined, were sold fur ?1,000. As eooii as they are placed ill the field, the master . selects some reliable negro man of his own force, p lo whom the newly imported African is chained, , ami whom lie is compelled Id imitate and follow in the day's work. The native African possesses j the faculty of imitation in n hi?li degree, and . quickly Icarus to do a good day's work for himself. Our informant represents them all to be, so _ far as he has seen, perfectly contented with their new homes, preferring .t, even with the laborious ^ task before them, t.o the suvp.ge and pVecariou'a 0 existence in their native homes. We are told the _ sentiment of Mississippi is almost universal in its ,f approval of the revival of the African slave trade. .. The wealthy want it bt-cause if i.fiords them j cheap labor for their at present imperfectly cul,, tivuted fields; und tlio poorer classes are as equally in favor of it, as they arc told that, hy its !. revival, they will be enabled to huy neyro ii?en at from $300 to $400, and thus |irocure negro f labor for their own smaller tracts of laid. These H ure the facts connected with the AFriean slave , trade revival in this country. Is it not time, that y the press aud.people of Virginia were speaking R out oil this hui.jcit? n The Gratxhopperx.?The vast swarms of grasse hoppers, which reilueed the Mormons, last sum' mer, to extremities for food, visiting the growing i- cereals with utter destruction three times in one - summer, have now attacked our frontier Stairs, ami devastated the prairies of Texas. The l'liild adclphia North American hazards the unwel>f eoine suggestion that they are moving gradually e into the body of the Republic. On leaving Texas, is they steered a northeast course, and ruse to a it. grcui neiguo lnmi ine grouuu, ua uiuugu ior 11 It long journoy. Myriads of them are now eating II up vegetation in Ohio. It is, therefore, no vioii lent supposition Hint they may make Pennsylvania and Virginia a visit. These insects, says iho American, are not like the common grasshoppers which are every summer-found in our fields and i- roads, but are of the size of a locust, with the _ s?me gregarious habits. The ordinary grasshopper is weak of wing, and never rises to a great height, whereas the legions which have so reh peatedly desolated Utah and Texas, rise far into x the upper air, and move off together to great <lisy tances, like wild geese. They appear in iniiuii, meralile hosts, and instead ol scattering, alight i- in a body upon some devoted locality, which p they attack and destroy with the systematic in movement of an army. They will thus eat up is a crop of corn or cotton in very Bhort tunc. Kansas Patriots Turned Brigands.?The latest intelligence from Kausas represent that bauds of c. brigands are roaming though the country, comle mitting sundry depradations on the property of a the citizens, and murdering those who resist. The Kansas question being settled peaceably in Cou, gress, the gangs of ragamuffins sent out there n by tRe New England " SriJlgraiit Aid Society" i find their occupation gone, and many of them naturally Tall hack upon their old trade of highwaymen and burglars. They were employee) for Dg tho purpose of fighting and disturbing the peaco of the Territory for political objects; and, as thoy re care nothing for politics themselves, they do not )r, seem to be disposed lo abandon their fighting and al pcace-breaking principles uow thai their services are no longer valuable to their employers.
