Hickman, from Boston for Matanxas, avert, that ac he waj steering for the port of Matanxas, shot a were fired orer and around him from a Spanish guard ship, oom ' pelting him to come-to and to submit to an inspection of the brig's papars. He was prob ably more than a marine league from shore. The papers being found " all right," the brig was j ermi:ted to pursue her voyage unmo lested. The Union further comment! on the influence of the National Intelligencer in frightening Sp?in into committing outrages on our people and commerce. Speaking of tho^o acts of the colonial Government, the Union sayj: 'A dangerous usurpation like the right of search, or the right of visiation, exfrcised against an Amenoan vessel, is not the less of foLsive, and will not be lens readily and less 22? 2?rep? !*! \nd res?nt*d- because it has been stimulated by false and foolish fears ii rJEl ' .w!,en .wr?ng is done to our citizens a tu ,a, or injustice inflicted upon our oom ? h k J 'uit ,h? on the tuber hand, to advise the Spanish people from time to time, that their true interest u to eo on m the career of insult and or ignomv-for ' that is its vocation"?and it may be agreable to the same newspaper to willfully exaggerate every event as to the expeditions said to be in 8??^S1U? ?gaicst Cuba, and at the same ume to declare that a war is to be set on foot against Cuba?for such has been ita course from the first; but this will net blind the eyes P*.0*1? torthe faot when . y tolerate an intolerant and intolerable despotism in eight of their shores, they do not \V?aI ? 9t^?b7 ,and 800 ^"despotism shel tered b hind the "laws of nations," and the lealous championship of an "American ' sart? jan princiPie not and while it seeks to extinguish every "Park of national liberty on the shores of Cuba riih?- a haDd8 Vp0a the h0D0r <""* the rights ot tho American people." In reply to a remark of the National Jn ultigemtT that -the sale of Cuba wou'd be the sale of Spanish honor," the Union insists that it would bo no more so than was the ssle of Louisiana a sale of French honor. The Intelligencer, in reply to a comment in an Albany paper, explains that the El Dorado was not fired into;" but that shots were sim . 1 - j fir ?d by the Spanish guard ship to brinir her to, and adds: tha^thl' iV'n" 1fir,t lim? w? have heard 13 Dorado wis fired 'into,' and of Html"' "hS 10 ouiaage.

WASHlHflTOH NEWS AID GOSSIP. The United States Government on tht Cam Of Xatrampea ?Our neighbor of the National Intelligencer seems to be in a quandary over the Better of the views of this Government with reference to details Qf our affaire with Spain. Their eo earnest ouriosity in such matters has set as to iaboring to aeoertain what those views may be. We have, for the time being, almost wished ourself the "organ" the Intelligencer calls as, (when, bj so doing its conductors fanoy thej can make a point against the Administration,) in order that we may relieve them?the editors of the Intelli genetr?from the agonising suspense in which they seem to be plunged. But, a la*, organ ship is not our province or our privilege. We can only surmise, after gathering a hint here, there, and everywhere from unofficial sources. Nevertheless, we rarely come to incorrect con elusions after such inveetigations, in which a ook not unfrequently goee further in aiding ui to make up our mind than an elaborate ex planation to throw du?t in our eyes. In the oase of Estrampes, we have hunted in vain to find the first sign leading us to believe that any serious question is likely to be made with Spain over it, even thongh it may turn out that be was fairly entitled to the American naturalisation papere carried back by him to Cuba. It seems probable that if this Govern ment questions the right of Concha to dispose of him as he did, an effort will be made to ehow that under our laws he was not entitled to the rights of Ameiioan citisenship. Ilow ever, be thai as it may, we can hear of nothing going to impress us with the belief that the Government of the United States will be like ly to call Spain to serious acoount for her act in Ms case; insomuch as even though a natu ralised American citixen, his act of returning within the jurisdiction of Spain for the avow ed purpose of making war on that Govern ment, placed him practically beyond the aegis of American protection. Our neighbor will please to take notioe that we give this as simply our own opinion of what the Govern ment will and will not do in this case, based wholly on a multitude of signs which float around ns, all unofficial, and also, we may truthfully add, indescribable. The Gaml of Louis ITapoleon?-We find that it is thought by not a few experienced publio men, that Louis Napoleon is playing a very deep game on England. They maintain that he is goiDg to febastopool to strengthen the interests of his government in the East. They believe that the city will fall at la*t> and that he will be the hero of the action of which that event will be the finale?will take due measures to appear to the world a? ' he hero of that great occasion. They hold that by so doing, his influence in Eastern af. fairs will at once beoomeunmeasurably greater than that of England; and that then he will repudiate his engagements with Britain with reference to the future of affairs on this side of the Atlantic, laughing heartily at the idea that the Queen's Government should expect iim to interfere directly or indirectly in favor of abolitionism, and aiding ns in all things wherein we may have questions in issue with his present ally, in order simply to weaken her pewer, so that she (England) may be the iess ablo to oppose obstacles to the success of his schemes with reference to the future of affairs in Europe, wherein his interests and those of England nny be likely to olash. Interesting Particulars Connected with the Execution of letrampes, fto , Ac -A Cuban gentleman, in New York, who received from h s friends by the last arrival from Harana much information concerning the execution of Estrampes, has kindly forwarded to us copies of such portions cf the letter as he deems likely to interest the Amerioan reading publio. Thus, the letter praises the Archbishop for his pertinecieua and noble efforts to save the life of the condemned man. It was said around the palace that shortly before Estrampes was executed, as a last effort, the Archbishcp placed in the hands of a little daughter of Concha a letter from Estrampes, which she delivered, aocompanied by the good priest, falling on her knees and bezging her father to have mercy on the condemned man But Concha, on reading the letter, repulsed her and her good companion *ith anger and indig nation. lie at one time consentei that the body might be interred ia a coffin, and as the friends of Estrampes chose. But suddenly ohanging his mind, he eountermanded that permisrion and had the corpse carried off in a cart, with those of three subjects from the hospital, and tossed into a hole with them. It is not yet known where, in Spcin, Felix, who has been sentenced to ten years' impri*! onment, is to be confined. The probability i that he U by thi? time on bis way to Spain! It was thooght by the Creoles sympathiiing with Estrampes, that had theCahawba's mails reached the island three days before they did, Lis life would have been spared; ag it was be lieved among them that in those mail, came ?trong remonstrances from a SpanUh offioial agairst the high-handed measures of the Captain General, which were regarded in Madrid as likely to precipitate war with the United States.

The legislative special oommittee, appointed to investigate the oharges against the cannery oommittee, held an adjourned meeting at the State House yesterday morning. The com mittee had summoned the ladiee oonneoked with the school at Roxbary, one of whom, the Lady Superior, Mary Aloysia, wae present at the opening of the meeting. She was aeoom panied by 8amuel May, Esq., who stated that the had with her a statement of the transac | tion signed by fire ladies who preside ever the school. The sergeant-at-arms then adminis tered an eath to the Lady Superior, after Which the statement wsa read by the chairman of thb oommittee It is mainly the same as that published in the Roston Advertiser. The com? mittee then proceeded to an examination of the Lady Superior, who testified as follows : I should judge that the oommittee num bered about twenty individual*. I attended them in thai? examination of the heuse. One of the committee, who gave his name as Mr Evans, tarried after the others bad left, and told me he was onoe a Catbolio in St. Mary's Church, Baltimore, and that he desired to return to the churoh. He ashed m^ if I wonld give him permission to vlsi me, ?aying ho would like to have some pleasant Conversation with me. I declined giving him permission. He asked if the Bishop would object to his visiting me I told him he would not, though we reeeived but lew visitors. He shook hands with me twice, and appeared I very familiar. I was much offended at his I conduct then, and feel more indignant every time 1 think of it I told the Committee when they entered the house that a lady was si?k. ! When the members of the committee enter ed her chamber I wa? present. Tbey bent so I closely to her that she has sinoe stated that she felt their breath 1 had previously desired the patient to remain auiet as if asleep if the committee entered While I was oonduetiog I a part of the oommittee, other members were going about the house themselves, examining I the closets, sinks, Ac. I was not present When one of the gentlemen 1 took hold of the Rosary Upon being aeked I if ene could describe the man who desired an I interview with ber, the witness replied that I she could not well desoribe bim. but that she I could reoognise him if she saw him, I Mr Evans, of the Senate, was tnen intco I duced, whereupon the witness said that he was ' I not thegentleman whoTequcsted the interview, I and gave his name Subsequently Mr. Hiss, I of Boston, was introduoed, when the wituers I said that was the gentleman who gave his nnme as Evans The Lady Superior was then further ques tioned by Charles Hale, jr., Esq. Samuel May, E?q then interrogated the witness ss to the scene in the Chapel, but her answers did not vary materially from previous testimony. The Foole Oration. The last service* to the late William Poole w?r* rendered on Sunday, at the Appollc Rooms, N. Y., in the presence of about two hundred persons. The audience wasalihost exclusively masculine, there being but five fe males present A Rev Mr. Hood opened the services with prayer, after whioh the oration w<*s delivered by Captain James M. Turner. After entering into a detailed history of the early career cf the deceased, which we omit on account of its having been already printed, he said: Poor Poole! who that knew him does not not lament his Iocs ? Generous to a fault, and brave as he was strong. Beautiful in his or* ganisation, en industrious man, and a good citizen ! A coble speoimen of God's master ly oreation. He was by trade a butcher, and few excelled him in his professional avoca tion Mr. Turner spoke from experience, for he had himself been a spectator during Poole's hours of business. The press had oalumnia ted the deceased?what they had said was al together false and unjust. It was glorious to see him (Poole) defending the ballot boxes; and the speaker cited an insianoe in whioh he had gratified numerous spectators with a con templation of that interesting sight. Some people had doubled that Poole made usa cf the observation, "I dio a true American," but who ever thought of questioning the authen ticity of Lawrence's immortal words, 'Don't give up the ship? ' And numerous other pa triots had made use of memorable phrases whioh were not doubted, why then should that declaration be oalled in question, of a man who had proclaimed himself the standard bear er of the party he belonged to The speaker concluded by saying that Poole had "died as he had lived?faithful to his God, his country, and his friends!" Mr. Hood then pronounced a benediction, and the meeting dispersed. ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. Weather ? Council Proceedings ? Revenue Bill?Balloon?Meetings. Alexandria, April 11, 1855.
