But our well being would produce it in full, seeking also in it another new proof, among the multi ae collected, of how rapidly are Gowns in Spanish America the prind ples which alone tend to its -alvation, and to remedy the ‘€vil of our past errors, - The foltowivg is the article from the Universal:— CONSERVAT\VE Kx ACTION IN AMERICA. A short time since there was much doubt of the future of the Spanish american republics. Involved in civil wars, occasioned by the fatal influence of the nation which wishes to ewallow them up, they neither cared for their internal well-being, nor thonght of fortifying thenseives against the attacks of their enemy. They called her sister, in the inno- H cence of their first years, aud therefore they copied her institutions and ende .vored to adopt her iti cal customs, although three centuries of different habits repelled them: ano whilst they imprudently flattered the American cemocracy, allowing them- Belves to be lulled in‘o security by the syren's song, they endeavored to expel from their midst all the | habits of their civil live, as it it were possible to tear ap the roots of three hrndred years, so much the More deep and indistruct-ble, as the ancient régime ‘Was more propitious to the peace and to the happiness of these people. : Useless attempt! It was hecessary for success to succeed in destroying ali the condition of the races which people the new continent; and those races, when they saw themselyes so persecuted by a new doctrine, which threatened their existence, could do xo less than throw themselves into the strife, in de- fence of the past and of the future. This strife has tontinucd thirty ycars, in which have been seen on ‘one side the barrenness and impotency of democratic ideas, and on the other the fecundity and power of the conscrvative principle. The social institutions of Spanish America have triumphed over the politi- cal institutions imported trom abroad. The first mistresses of there piaces had naturally to defend their ancient po:session; the second, foreign, and without having in their support more than a passing lusion, have only been despised, and they could not ‘but be conquered when they contended with an ene- my, in every belief, in evry word, and in every ante- cedent,of the people whom they-intended to subject. To arrive at this result, that the sicial institu- tions of these countries shouid have prevailed, what | _ Sfforts have been requuwed—what sacrifices,aud what disasters! Blood has flowed in torrents, brothers have etriven against brothers, merit and virtue have deen pervecutcd, and al! the passions have vomited out their deadly jwison ia these territories, which were the abode of tranquillity and happiness. And pieces, which were eo rich and so beautiful— which were desciised by travellers as a paradise, and which excited the envy of the whole earth— have become poor and miserable objects of univer- sal compassion, or peroaps of contempt. It munt be confessed that the usurpstory policy of, -Uhe United States had completely attained its 3 and, emboidened by such a result, there might | de remarked, even from 1847, its resolution to put in qiectice the sinister views which it had concealed many ae For that, then, their hosts invaded | Our republic, and for that, since it hus been seen to raise its daring and insolent head in its relations he equivalent to that of the slave who passes from ie poem of a cruel master to that of 4 humane, kind and generous one, who might have for his slave as much consideration as for a freeman—though still with the right of absolute superiority, and what is more, with the faculty of disposing him whea- ever it was his will or desire. This would be our condition on entering into the bosom of the Ameri- cen confederation, without titles or merits to allege in our behalf. ill the government of this country believe that the acquisition of Cuba, by means of urchase would be more profitable to it? We be- lieve not. The Cubans, deprived of the houor would not hove a frank affection towards the new posses- stig os tue island, and would still look with repug- nance upon the shameful condition of their liberties. Not so when they, after a victorious struggle with the oppressors oi their country, would purctase iit dependence with the price of their blood and the strevgth of their arms. Thus, and only thus can be assured a complete harmony between Union and the new State cugzafted into it, and the annexation thereof proclaimed by the spontaneous and sovereign will of the Cuban people. The Cubans have found in this country a decided protection for their cause; Americans have shed their blood, have perished, and have sacrificed their interests for the liberty of Cuba in making a common cause with us. And why should the pure aud noble blood of so many victims become useless aud their sacrifices remain obscured by a negotiation? The Cubans will always have engrafted on their hearts the purest sentinients of gratitude for the men who have struggled and who sacrificed themseives in their cause, but they can have no affection for the enemies of their glory and for those who think of de- priving them of it by a handfnl of money. Fortunately, this is not the idea of the majority of this great people. But’ if it should unfortunately | happen that the opinion of those who are working for a ne zotiation to purchase Cuba for some miliions of dolars should triumph; and if those ends could be / attained without any obstacles on the part of the Spanish government, let it be understood that the realization of this project will occasion in the fature serious and disagreéuble dissensions. In such a case we certainly would belong to the number of the malcontents, besause we value in the high- est, degree the honor, the glory, and the good name of our country, towards which our most ar- dent ieee travel, and for which noble cause we would cheerfully oncounter, as we have done up to the present time, every kind of sserifices. We wish Cuba free by the means of a triumphant revolution, but we repudiate our liberty if we have to acquire it at the price of cur dishonor. No Cuban who retains the recollection of his compatriots im- molated as sacrifices fur their country, shall ever ag- cept such a condition. , THE SPANISH FLEET AT. HAVANA.

It our country (Mexico) has not been the first, neither has she been the last, to enter on this path of salvation; and her material and moral importance, doubticss superior to that of all the others, will serve 288 stimulus to these who still are enchained to the demagogle idol, that they may resolve to break their bonds. So we hope: when South America sces that Mexico is saved by conservative principles, that through them ehe recovered her and her lost eedit, aad that throngh them she has freed horself from perishing ignominionsly in the talons of the Novth—those republics will’ follow our example, and the boon oe triumph of the conservative ve-action will be the egraneng of & general alliance of our race aga net the race which persecutes it. which Js enough to demonstrate the superior capacity of our good vessels of war. For the purposes of the government, the Conde del Venadito leaves nothing tobe desired. Her movements in the sea are gentle, and her oscillation remarkably short; nor does she ship water,even in the roughest sea; in fine, her con- ditions are fit for as voyage with cqual security as vessels of 350 and 500 horse power. i With respect to the new Pizarro, by which our navy has just been also peat pel pol we will’ have only to say, that she is of a model already known, aud whose beauty has at- tracted universal attention. Built in our arsenals, with all the improvements of modern art, she measures 205 feet six inches in length of keel, thirty- fiye tees one inch breadth of beam, 206 feet ten inches from stem to stern, and twenty-two feet eleven inches depth of hold; her burthen measures 7634 tons, with a machine of 350 horse power. Her ar mament consists of four thirty-two pounders and two sixty-elght ar There is no superior vyeasel of her class afloat. e But the most agreeable information which we can to-day communicate to our readers, will be, perhaps for the majority, unexpected. The old Pizarro stil exista. Thanks to the veal and activity of the com- mardant general, every thing in that vescel is saved, from it keel up to ita last planks, and even the small- cet piece of its rigging. These materials having been sent to the peninsula, its re-construction pro- eceds actively, and very soon our navy will reckon gnother war Steamer; in fine, very soon the Castilian flag will wave anew in the waters of Cuba, over tho old Pizarro, perpetuating the glorious records which meke her neme so pleasant to ev good patriot, 7 + they fill with hatred and dread the impotent enemies of our noble Spain.

General Concha states, that through intercepted communications and private information he received, he fixed the point of our disembarkation at the bead land of Mantua, on the northern coast of the Vuelta de Abojo, and at the same timo he admits to have left this poiut entirely ungarrisoned. What the military motives of General Concha could have been for entirely evacuating the very point where our appearance was expected by him, and not pre- paring to have a force at hand to oppose us, I can- not perceive; and cen galy exculpate him for not having taken efficacious means for the defence of that point, by allowing myself to believe, in comtra- diction of his own statement, that he had no confi- dence in the private information he received, and looked with mistrust on the intercepted com: munications, as in reality it was not our intention to land on the northern part of the Vuelta de Abajo. Genera! Concha is further led to believe, that Ge- neral Lopez, through false information he received at Key West, of a risivg of the inhabitants near Havaua, was made to commit the imprudence of stecring to the latter port, and presenting himself within sight of the Moro Castle. Actually, news received in Key West of the rising of the inha Ditants in different parts of the island, the state of the Vuelta Abajo, represented as entirely un- garrisoned, and more particularly the deficiency of coal on board the steamer Patmpero, mide the General abandon his originat plav, and adopt a rew one fer the immediate aisembarkation ot the expe- dition at the Vuelta de Abajo. As fur, however, as the steering to the port of Havana is con- cerned, this was no voluntary act of Gen. PER MR ALFRED MUNROE, Joseph C.
