From Washington we have additional information of great importance relative to the position of <j fairs between this country and Spain. It is statea that the President in his me: will recommend the bleckade of Cuba and Porto Rico. Such a moye- ment would bring matters to a crisis, and lead to an adjustment of all outstanding differences by nego- tiation, including the purchase of Cuba, or an ap- peal to arms. It is probable we may receive news by the steamer at Halifax from Madrid which will place a new aspect upon this matter. We have given our views at length on this subject in an edi torialarticle. There appears now to be good reason to believe that the Nebraska question will be settled this week. The commendable determination of the friends of the measure will, if maintained, lead to a triumphant result, Nothing of special importance transpired in th Senate yesterday. The subject of the monopoly of the guano trade by the British was referred to the President, after an explanation from Mr. Clayton that the English holders of Peruvian bonds are se- cured payment by the monopoly.

We do not observe in the reports an of the salaries paid ; and as it is som rious that there are many very lucrative appoint- ments in the gift of the society the public may re- gard the omission as not entirely accidental. The celebration of the Five Points Mission Society passed off with great éclat, songs by the boys and jokes by the speakers forming the principal of the proceedings. The American Home ary Association held a meeting in the evening in spite of the hegvy rain. a clear idea of the vastness of the society's opera tions it is stated that the “ aggregate min! labor performed is equal to 870 the report winds up with a grand nent vey of the aflirs of mankind generally.

The Prison Di line Society also met yester- day, and in the absence of anything important that it has accomplished, the managers content them- selves with suggestions on a variety of subjects con- nected with prisons—a matter which, doubtle they are all more or less familiar with, and to w we earnestly invite the attention of their co-l! in other fields. A peculiar feature in the celeb tions this year is worthy of notice. We allude to the hermony—the vocal harmony ; and it is a que tion for philosophers to decide, whether the Opera or the negro minstrels have been mainly strumental in promoting the adoption of this civil zer—the rhyme speaks for iteelf.

The report was rejected by a tie vote, and the whole matter was then laid on the table. The Cuban Question—Action, ‘The city press are busily engaged in discuss- ing our relations with Spain in connection with Cuba, and speculating on the message which the President is about to send to Con- | er in relation to the subject. Every one knows by this time that Mr. Soulé has demand- ed reparation for the Black Warrior outrage, and that the Spanish government has hitherto refused it—ihat our minister required of Spain not only satisfaction for that particular offence, but such security against its repetition as the investment of future captains-general with power to settle such matters in person could afford—and further that some intimation of our decided unwillingness to tolerate the interfer- ence of any other European power in the island, was duly conveyed to the Cabinet at | Madrid. We kuow that these communications were not metina conciliatory spirit, and that at the time we were declaring to Spain our firm determination to resent any semblance of British interference in the island, her ambassa- dor was actually dictating, and the Spanish Minister was meekly transcribing under his dic- tation, a set of decrees for the partial emancipa- tion of the slaves in Cuba. Here our actual in- formation ends. Rumor ascribes to the Presi- sident the design of sending an angry message to Congress, as well as further instructions to Mr. Soulé, desiring him to persevere in the course of policy he has hitherto pursued. Of the truth of these ramors we have no positive knowledge, and cannot speak with any degree of assurance. For though on the one side the executive of this country could not with any regard to its own character pursue any other line of conduct than that ascribed to the Presi- dent, on the other the notorious incapacity aad weakness of Mr. Pierce and his administration do not encourage us to believe that he has on this occasion sustained the honor of the United States. It is very certain that we have not had such an exeellent opportunity of settling the long pending difilculties with Cuba for the last fifty years. We have ample ground of complaint against the present owners of the Island. Within the last four years outrages which we cannot attempt to enumerate have been com- mitted upon American citizens and American property by the authorities of Cuba; any one of which would have justified a recourse to ex- treme measures on our part. Some few out of those enumerated in the documents just sent to Congress are worth noting here. On the 22d of January, 1850, Charles Peter V. Esnard, an American citizen, was arrested by the Cuban authorities, and incarcerated in the prison of Havana; no charge having ever been advanced against him. In May of the same year, two American vi , the Georgiana and the Susan Loud, were captured at Contoy by the Spanish General of Marines and brought as prizes into the port of Havana ; their crews were imprisoned. On the 25th March, 1851, John Salinero, an American citizen, was arrested by the Spanish authorities, no aceu- sation being made against him. On the 16th August, 1851, the United States steamer Falcon was fired into and boarded by a Spanish man- of-war without any excuse or pretext. On the 16th February, 1 the American schooner Lamartine was fired into hy a Spanish vessel, also without assignable motive or pretext. On 3d October, 1852, the Crescent City was driven from Havana, and prohibited from land- ing her mails on the childish and frivolous pre- text that the purser spoke and wrote ill of tie Cuban authorities‘on his visits to New York. Inthe March following, the Ohio was detained three days at Havana, under an unpre- cedented and ridiculous plea that she ought to perform quarantine. On the Mth of that month the schooner Manchester was boarded by a Spanish vessel of war, and detained twenty-four hours, without the shadow of any pretext whatever. ruary, 1853, and subsequently, the United ates mail bags were broken open by the Ca- ban authorities, many of the seals broken, and the privacy of American correspondence vio- lated. On 5th May of the same year, three American seamen belonging to the American bark Jasper, were arrested on vague suspicions of being concerned in the slave trade, thrust into prison, and subjected to inconceivable in- dignities and cruelties, In November, Pedro Raices, a naturalized citizen of the United States, was arrested at Havana, no crime being charged #yainst him; was tried and sentenced toa year’s transportation. Shortly afterwards other naturalized citizen of the United States, ore Richoux, was forced to leave the island of Cuba, no motive being assigned for bis ex- pulsion. The notorious case of the Black War- rior completes an imperfect catalogue of the ronts have suffered at the hands of Spain during the last four years. Now explain or extenuate this narrative as we may, it certainly shows that no Power has ever given any other more fre quent or more plausible grounds for an inter- ruption of peaceable intercourse than Spain has given us. On less provocation than this, Russia invaded the Principalities; on far less Great Britain has frequently declared war against France, and seized whatever tervitc y she could lay her handson. One single affront less grave in its character than any of these induced Lord Palmerston to menace the gov- ernment of Greece with total overthrow. I fact, it has been the usage of civilized nations for centuries to consider the duty of avenging such national injuries as these as one of th most imperative duties imposed on a govera ment, Nations, like private individuals, when endowed with wisdom, have always acted oi the belief that it sounder policy to risk something in asserting their rights, than to economize strength while these are trampled under foot. If therefore the United States were to re- we | f the impossibility of negotiat'ng directly w.th the authorities of Cula, Atl ast ad zen let- ters are pu) liched, in which negotiations are brought to a storfd still by the dec ratioa of the Captain General that he is acting under orders from Madrid, or by his refusal to treat of poli- tical matters with our consul.r agent. Our Minister has begged the governmeut of Spain to obviate the recurrence of this difficulty by cmpowering the Captain General to settle such cases himself, without referring to the home authorities, This reasonable request, we are told, has been refused. &f in reply to this re- fusal we were to recall our Minister, and sus- pend the neutrality laws, could the world blame us? Could right minded men censure our con- duet? Could history record it asa fault? We cannot think so, There isa party in this country which has always and will always oppose the pursuance of anything likea national policy. These are mostly men who trade in flour, cotton, and stocks; and whose financial standing is such that a panic in Wall street or a monetary crisis such as a war might bring on, would ruin them. There have their organ, the Journal of Com- merce, whose pride it has been to uphold the course of the Cuban authorities throughout their career of tyranny and insult, and which is constantly reminding us that we ought rather to submit to any insult or injury than to provoke such powerful nations as England and France. We don’t know that merchants are generally good judges of national policy. We are not convinced that their political creed is always free from the influence of their ledger and salesbook. Nor are we quite sure that the position assumed on behalf of this class by the Journal of Commerce is worth refuting. For the benefit of the readers of that anti-American sheet, however, we will venture to say that the dangers of a war with Spain on the sub- ject of Cuba are somewhat exaggerated by the fearsof our faint-hearted cotemporary. It is perfectly true that the government of Great Britain and possibly the Emperor of France would object to our obtaining possession of Cuba. But there isa world of difference be- tween objecting to a thing and declaring war to prevent it. Lord Jobn Russell might re- monstrate, but he could not, dare not, take open part with Spain. In the first place, the bulk of the British people would not give one shilling to prevent our obtaining Cuba: for, in point of fact, they know well enough that if Cuba were ours, their trade with the island would increase to far greater proportions than it can attain under its present government. Englishmen have no love for Spain; no actual fears from our possession of Cuba. Lord John would find himself in a woful mino- rity in the Houstof Commons if he proposed a war with the United States to prevent a colony of slave-trading, faithless, degraded Spain from becoming a productive state of the Union. But, in point of fact, Lord John is far too sen- sible a man to propose anything of the kind. He saw clearly enough at the beginning of the war with Russia that the neutrality of the United States was worth purchasing at the cost of one of the most cherished prerogatives of Great Britain, and abandoned the right of search and the British doctrines concerning neutral ships without our asking for it. Would he have done this, if he was ready to declare war against the United States for a paltry West India island? We should like the Journal of Commerce to tell us, if England should de- clare war against this country, where she is to get flour to feed her people during the war, and where cotton to keep her manufactories at work? Also, how she is going to suppress the rebellion that would break out at Manchester, Leeds and Paisley, the week after the supplies of American cotton were stopped? Also, how | she is going to contend against a flect of some two or three hundred privateers and vessels of war that would be scouring the seas under the American flag, within twelve moaths after the declaration of war, and which would keep the whole French and English navies at work, while Russia contrived to find employment for their armies? But enough. The commerce of England is essential to her national existence. Without peace with the United States, especially while the Russian war lasts, that commerce cannot be carried on. Itis our view, therefore, taking into consideration the large share of common sense which the British people possess, that, if we set our minds on taking not only Cuba, but Jamaica also, themost formidable resistance should meet with would be hard words. The other objections to a bold foreign policy are yet more frivolous. France is bound to England, and cannot move without her, If the latter consents, Louis Napoleon will resign himself to the annexation of the island. Nor need we worry ourselves about privateers, with letters of marque from Spain. England will not fit them out; nor will France; Russia needs them at home; where then are they to come from? Spanish sailors are not used to be very formidable opponents for our crews. And if they were disposed to fight, a proclamation like that issued by President Polk during the Mexican war, would soon put an end to their valorous ebullitions, On the other hand, the advantages of seizing the present opportunity to settle our outstand- ing account with Spain, and secure our position on this continent by adding Cuba to our domi- nions, are notable and conspicuous. If this country have any destiny at all, it is destined to become the leading maritime and com- mercial nation of the earth. Its mari- time ascendancy can never be safe so long as Cuba—the key to the Gulf of Mexico—is in the hands of a foreign power. Its commercial greatness cannot be consummated while a large fertile island within a few miles of our coast belongs to Spain, and is actually used for the purpose of keeping us in check. Moderate conservative men must bear in mind that the moment we lose sight of this practical destiny of ours, the national mind at once reverts to sectional squabbles and internal strife. Those who scoff at the idea of a war with Spain are the very mex who are constantly erying aloud for the diseolution of the Union. We—by no means seeking either to exaggerate the evils of the latter or to disguise the risk of the for mer—hold that a foreign war, even if it boreno good fruitat all,would be better for thiséountry than an internal war about slavery. Those who think with us will regard the Pierce ad- ministration as the most worthless government we ever had, if the present opportunity of settl- ing with Spain is lost. we if that the main points that the Garrison party make are these :—First, that a dissolution of the Union should immediately take place ; second, that (in the words of Henry C. Wright, one of their shining lights), “the God of the Christians in this country is the most accursed of demons.” The Christian Church, of all de- nominations, is the great target at which they level all their denunciations; and it is certainty surprising that the trustees of this church should allow their pulpit to be thus foully de- secrated, The tactics of the abolitionists in this matter were excellent. They arranged their pro- gramme in direct imitation of those of the re- ligious societies ; no business was transacted, and the meeting commenced with prayer and the reading of the scriptures by the * Rev- erend” Henry J. May. The “Reverend” William Lloyd Garrison occupied the highest seat in the synagogue. By these means a meeting, which would otherwise have passed off without notice, attracted a large audience, including many weak-minded and strong* minded women, who, no doubt, imagined that, as the popular pastor of this church is what is called in the cant of socialism, a “ progi cssion- ist,” he would make his appearance among the orators. That crowning shame was, however, reserved, we suppose, for a future period. Having seduced the people to the church, the fanatics were not slow in completing the work of desecrating the temple. Several of the speakers propounded the usual infidel tenets, and the Bible and Tract Societies were made the butt for the most violent abuse from the lips of a woman named Foster. The good at- tendance in the forenoon was doubiless in con- sequence of the popularity of the church, as only a very few persons attended the afternoon meeting, which was held in Hope Chapel. We presume that all the worshippers in this church are not members of the American Anti- Slavery Society. We presume that they do not agree with the orators of that society in their denunciations of everything that decent people hold tobe good andholy, With this view of the subject. we call the attention of the Rev. Mr. Chapin’s congregation to the desecration of their edifice by the abolitionists, yesterday. They will see what was said by perusing the Heratp reports. If this sort of thing is to go on, the trustees of this church may as well rent it during the evenings, for the performance of the moral drama, “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” alter- mated with concerts by negro minstrels. It would be highly amusing and very profitable; and the church is now so far desecrated in the minds of all right-minded men and women, that in the course of the year two or three fancy balls might be given, to the edification of the congregation and the profit of the trustees. TriaL or Mason Wyse By Courr Martian. Major Francis O. Wyse, of the Third Artillery, was put upon his trial last Wednesday by a court martial, charged with disobedience of or- ders and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The whole time the court has been in session has been employed in the examina- tion of witnesses, not for the purpose of prov- ing the truth of the first of these charges,which is sufficiently clear. but to establish the fact that the steamship Falcon is unseaworthy, and therefore should not have been engaged for the transportation of troops. The second charge, that Major Wyse has been guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, has not been taken up yet by the court, and will not till the first is disposed of. With regard to the first of these charges, it appears from the testimony that Major Wyse, after he had received orders from General Scott to be prepared to sail with his command for California, on board the Falcon, demanded that a board of inspection should examine the vessel and report upon her condition before he could consent to trust himself at sea in her. In compliance with this demand, a Board was appointed by General Scott, consisting of Lien- tenant Colonel Thomas, Brevet Lieutenant Colo- nel Swords, and Lieutenant Colonel Abercrom- bie, who, after inspecting the vessel, reported that she was not only seaworthy, but that she had ample accommodations for the troops. As this report was not satisfactory to Major Wyse, he appointed a board of his own, who, after examining the vessel, arrived at the conclusion that it was not safe.to go to seain her. Acting on this report, and in defiance of the orders of General Scott, Major Wyse refused to go on board, determined, as he stated in a letter ad- dressed to Colonel S. Cooper, “to bring this question to an ‘ssue."’ The Falcon sailed on the appointed day—the 1sth of April—and was forced, in consequence of her defective ma- chinery, after being a few days at sea, to put into Norfolk. This established the fact that she was not a proper vessel to be em- ployed as a transport; but beyond this it proves nothing which would exculpate Major Wyse from the charge of having dis- obeyed the orders of his superior officer The first duty of a soldier is obedience to those who are placed in command over him, for upon it depends the efficiency. discipline and govern- ment of the army. He should in fact have no will of his own when it conflicts with the orders of his superior, and it is no plea to urge in jus- tification of insubordinate conduct, that such orders, if complied with, would put bis life ir jeopardy. What, for instance, would be thought of an officer who, when commanded to attack a fort, should refuse to do so on the ground that it was dangerous—that he might be killed’ Such o man would be guilty of an act of in- subordination which, if tolerated, would even- tually lead to the utter extinction of all mili- tary law and authority, We can see no differ- ence inthe act for which Major Wyse is now on trial; he has refused to obey the commands of his superior officer, and thus set an example which, if followed, would be attended with the most pernicious effects, Suppose one of his own men bad been guilty of a similar act of disobedience, would he have tolerated it for an instant; and yet if he acted consistently he could not refuse him the exercise of the same right which be claims for himself. it is clear then that Major Wyse had no more to do with the character of the vessel than the mort humble soldier on board. Of his whole command he was the only one who refused to goin her when ordered, although among his men were the officers who composed his board of inspection. But while this is a matter in which he, in consequence of his position, had no right to act ae be did, we regard it as our upon which she was employed in the service of our government. Letus have the contract and the names of the parties by whom it was made before the trial closes. Rampanr Axotition Unmaskep.—When we warn the community that the Seward organs occupy the same position in society as incendi- aries who set fire to stores in order to rob them, many of our readers are doubtless inclined to disbelieve the statement. Every now and then, however, a confirmation of its truth comes to light in their own columns, and on the principle that bad men should be unmasked, we think it right to notice such little ebullitions of candor. In speaking of the resistance which, in the opin- ion of the New York Tribune, ought to be offered to the Nebraska bill, the editor of that sheet delivers himself yesterday of the follow- ing sentiment :— We urge, therefore, unbending determination en the part of the Northern members, hostile to this intolerable outrage, and demand of them in bebalf of peace, in be- half of freedom, in behalf of justice and humanity, resist- ance to the last. Better that confusion should ensuc— eter that discord should reiga in the natiovabcouncils —better that Congress should break up in wild visorder— nay, better that the Capital itself should blaze by the orch of the incendiary, or fall and bury all its inmates beneath its crumbling ruins—than that this pertidy ond wrong should be finally accomplished. In other words, the Tribune is prepared to applaud the destruction of the capital by fire, and the murder of all its inmates, if by so doing the passage of the Nebraska bill can be prevent- ed. We are not aware what means the T'rijune has at its disposal for the accomplishment of these bloodthirsty schemes: but we recommend them to the notice of the doorkeepers of the Capitol. The same thing was tried a couple of centuries ago in England by one Guy Fawkes who, like the Tribune, thought it better that the houses of Parliament “ should blaze by the torch of the incendiary or fall and bury all their inmates beneath their crumbling ruins, than that the perfidy and wrong” of which he com- plained “should be finally accomplished.” But Guy did not blazon his scheme to the world as the Tribune does. They had hard work to make him speak on the rack; the Tribune, racked morally by its revolutionary instincts, blurts out readily enough its incendiary plots.

Severe WRATHRR AND Disasrens at SeA.—Among the arrivals during the past two days, several report very severe weather, and having met with large quantities of field ice and numerous icebergs.
