Viscount Patmexston said it was well known, some considerabl+ time ago, that an expedition was under- stood to be preparing in the United States, for the pur- pose of making a descent on Cuba; and it was also well known that the government of the United States ineued & proclamation against such an expedition. and took euch measares as put an end to the enterprise for a time.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. [From the London Times, June $.] The converration last night in the House of Peers, with reference to the expedition against Cuba, at least furnishes us with the opinion of the onsible advi- sere of the crown upon the character of that move- ment The Marquess of Lansdowne, bec mg ia certain respects as he was by his official position. bold- ly designated the expedition asa “ piratical’’ expedi- tion, He informed the House—although the informa- tion was not very startling from its novelty—that the buceaneering band which bad sailed from New Orleans bad gone forth under the entire “ disapprobation and reprobation”’ of the government of the United States. Nor was this the only result of the desultory conver- ration amonget the Peers Iast night. Lord Stanley pressed the President of the Council with a series of wertions, in order to elicit from him the nature of the instructions sent out to our cruisersin the Weat In- dies. The reply of the Marquis of Lewnsdowne is sig. nificant enough :—“The instructions could only be eventual instructions, and such instructions it was not usual to make known.” We trust we sre not over. stepping the legitimate limits of inference in supposing that the instructions sent carry rome sort of provision for the contingency that hasactually occurred ould there have been a hiatus in the orders given .> the cruisers. in place of very clear and definite instructions to put down the piratieal expedition of the New Or- leans buecancers by the strong hand. wherover it might be met with, @ beavy responsibility indeed will rest upen the prevent advisers of the crown. We will not, hewever, indulge ina supposition that will no doubt be contradicted by the event. . Except for the points we have named, there is but little to be gleaned trom the desultory discussion of last night, The peers who spoke vancti , Lords Lans- downe, Aberdeon, Grey, Brougham, ‘and ‘Shanley peared to be perfectly ‘of one mind as to the light ia which the expedition should be viewed—namely, as a fratical incursion, euch as was usual enough io t uban waters oron the Spanish Main in the days of buccancering chivalry.

It must be remembered that the dangers which encom. pass the nation are terrible and undisguised. The opposition, as it exists in France, is not struggling merely to raise one set of men to the places other set of men, but to bring back to power a horde of ad- venturers and fanatics, whose last incursion brought the nation to the verge of destruction—whoi triumph would be the signal of civil war, that party the majority of the Assembly and tl sident’s gov ent have no firmly opted a polioy, not of reac’ but of active resista: aa matter of fact the choice only lies, in the present state of France. between that policy of resistance and the progress of the revolution.

The “ agricultural Congress” at Berlin has decided against the policy of increasing the import duties, as coutem- plated by the Prussian Minister of Commerce.
