were able, forcible, and manly, as well as
respectful an 1 courteous, no American
need he told.
h'le Waalhingtoni Telegraph adds to this,
what it believes it has from gond authority,
that the letters fron Mr. Crittenden were
read to onie of the editors of the North
American in Vnashington City, and that he
could only err in his literprotat ion of them.
The Telegraph adds the annexed impur.
tant information:
" An order has been issued by the Brit
ish Almiralty, instructing a number of
their naval vessels to critise along the
sotthern coast of the United Stater, and
to capture all Amnr'can vesols which
they have reason to believe are destined
to Cuba with hostile intentinns, 'I'bis or
ier is now in tiss city, and thie knowledge
of its nature formed the basi, of the letter
of Mr. Crittendena to the British Minister
and we believe a similar order issued
by the French Government called for
a like letter to that Government, through
its representative here. We can feed
the starvinig subjects 'of Great Britain,
but do not need the services of her
navy as a police force on our coast, and
will not permit it."

V F.sslts.-The Washit n correspon

reports recently current that the French
and English governments have issued or
ders, in case of the sailing of any more
expeditions against Cuba, to seach all ves
se-s of a suspicions character, whether
saihlng under United States or other colors.
It is now distinctly stated that Mr.
('ramopton, tie British Charine, al interim,
has had an interview with Mr. Vebster, in
which he has conmun:cated those alleged
orders of his Government. We still think
there must he some' error in those state
ments. Tint the British Governitent
should re.assert the right of search, a pow

to the American people, and which has
never been conceded by our Governmient,

ingham county Va., last week, after a trial
that excited mnch interest, decided that
Amn,'wda Jane, who had been held as a
slave ever s-nce her birth, torte tw'nty.sik
years ago, was a white woman, althoutgh
hter origin w as distinetly traced to a ne.
gress, Who was a slave. The Register
tavs:
"Amanda's appearatlce, the eolnor of i
her skin, her knair, ,her eyes, her nose, her
whole physical exter or, would prove her
to le what the jury have mude her--a
whitu wowt, ma. The tentimony proving her
to he of nogro exraction was of the strong.
est and clearest knd, and yet the appear.
ance of the woannw seemed to contradict it
all. Amanda Jane has been held as a
slave successively by Messra. Michael
Kier, (whuise negro ave Sally, was pro.
vied to be her mother) T. McOahey, and
was held in benuigae at the time of the
trial, by Mr. A. E. lieneberger. She has
degraded herself in her sevitudle, and has
become the mother of two fine looking lit
tle illegitimate children, perfectly Wa!ite,
who were dandled in her arms during the
course of the trial. A tnore maysterious
case, we have never heard tried; and it
excited from its commencement to its close,
the tmo't intenase interest, Exceptions have
been taken to the derision of the.case, by
the counsel for the defendants."
