To give the public some idea of the manner in which we spent the first two months of our cruise, I | write this letter, which, if 1 originally intended being a regular correspondent of your's, should have been written. months ago.” As it is, however, | nothing of much conseqnence transpired on board aince we left home; but to let your readers judge for themseives, I will briefly notice our progress thaa far, As you know before this, we arrived for the fiest time in Rio on the 9th November, 1853, after a picasant passage of fifty-six days from Nor- foik; cemaincd here nearly a month, during which we were busily engaged in receiving visiters of rank and firiag saintes. We left here on the 5th of Decem ber, and oa the 13th of the same month arrived in Montevideo, and were grected with a salute from the United States sloop-of-war Jamestown, at an- choring. While we stopped there we experienced some very etormy nights, on one of which (.jan. 17) we lost an anchor. The American Minister at Bueaoa Ayres visited us on Washington’s birthday, which was becomingly celebrated by all the war weasels ia port. Having remained four months ex- actiy at the Mount, we left for Rio once more, in compaay with the United States brig-of-war Bain- | bridge, leaving the sloop-of-war Germantown and the sutveping steamer Waterwitch behind us. Hav- ing to wait for the brig in winds that suited us, it took wa seventeen days to come here from the Moaat. We got in on Friday evening, April 21. On the aight of May 4 we had an occurrence on | boatd, the consequences of which some unfortunate fellows will remember for their lives. The men not beingallowed to go on liberty since we left the States, applied for it twice to the captain, and were refused. ‘Those refusals caused some short-sighted men to | think tuey could force the captain into compliance with their wishes, by becoming impertinent and disreapectful to their superior officers. Accordingly, oa tae night in question, having smuggled some xum on board, they were assemblin, tinows purpose on the forecastle, when the officer of the dev in going to separate them, was driven aft by a perfect hurricane of spit boxes, belaying pins, and every other missile they could lay hold of. ‘Things becoming too serious to use parley, quarters were unmediately beaten, ani the guard called om deck. Acter considerable exertion, the officers, assisted by the marines, succeeded in arresting some fifteen fellows, who were placed in irons and gagged.

Progress of the Revolution—The Army Declared for the New Government—The Accessory Transit Company—The Proclamation of the Niwo Presi- dext—Reduction of the Import Duties, §c., §¢. | Since my last letter the revolution has spread all over the country. Rivas was taken the other day, by the revolutionary party, and without a shot. AN the soldiers had ran away, and all the men of the neighboring places—about 500 or 600 strong—had presented themselves to the new go- vernment. All the females in Rivas were in dreadful fear that the marching in of the troops would create some disturbances, and consequently give achance tomany malefactors who have been waiting here a good while for a chance to rob or burn down houses, &c.

As I was dining, one day last week, at the very Peredes, and a little to my Galiano, in a voice that rung through the room— “ Go to the kitchen and tell the cook to bring mea fricassee of forged signatures and false representa- tions of the royal seals.’ The poor waiter, not be- ing in the secret of the performances of Mr. Galiano, id not quite comprehend the new dish, which made epetition necessary. Mr. Galiano’s wine was fiaish- ed, his story told, and he left, but not without being told by the young blood of Principe where bis residence could be found, if there was any one, by chance, disposed to try the qualities of the creoles of his section of the island. days have passed, but there has been no inquiry made for him at Mineraislenee, 80 we have uo chance of a duel to report. he Diario de la Marina is out this morning | with a leader, continuing its demonstration of the expenses of the Petpet: of the United States, to show the vast advantage of the economical ad- ministration of Spain and other European mon- archies. The hypothesis assumed being false, and the statistics not ated, for numerical division among the masses, with any certainty, to show the actual individual. burthen, the declamation will be of very little advantage to the science of govern- | ment. If it were true, however, the people do with their own as they please; if it is squandered, so much the better for the ‘pirate laud,” as they have ‘hee facility in picking up stray plander; and, if true, still it is well, as showing that it costs | no more, in proportion, to sustain twenty-six mil- lions of sovereignty in the United States than is absorbed by the royal nursery at Madridalone. The people of ‘the United States have the privilege of leciding what their expenses shall be, and, if an extra slice is offered them by their impoverished neighbors, they pay the price agreed upon for it, that they may have more extended homes for the sons of freedom that gather to that expensive land from every quarter of the Old World, not excepting | even Spain. However, it is in vain to look in the Diario dela’ Marina for any Havana or Cuban in- | teliigence, but, as a “ police report,” or journal of | crime in the United States, it is tolerable authority, as the Spanish scavengers, from New Orleans Boston, have especial instructions to note every case of crime, and send it along, that the picture of yor hidecus immorality may be constantly before | the Cuban the head of the Spanish criminal list, and not in- | ublic, the colater of which stands at | ¥! and ready to take the eals of matrimonial obliga- tion with the white daughters of the land, as they bear the holy emblems of our religion, or defond the Spanish honor under the folds of our national ¢oun- 3, for all and precy sesviee reat gave honest Isbor, which seems to consort with their voca- tion.

Over several of the streets I observ- ed green arches sprung, adding very much to the effectiveness of the scene, and there were two or three regiments of troops lining the holy trail, to protect the sacred persons and the bread and vinous representations of the “body and blood of Deity.” ‘The Captain General had his cushion placed at every comer, and seemed to be in as prayerful ear- nest as if there was a squad of filjbusteros to be luoked after at every turn; indeed, our peccadilloes are awful filibusters here, and give us, of high and low degree, a great deal of annoyance.

I will say that General Pezuela is not aware of this new mode of defeating his power nor will he be aware of it until he reads it in the columns of the Hga- ALD. ‘This is not anticipated either by the British Con- sul, and when ascertained it cannot be met with remedy until the period for confronting re; tion comes round, when verification will sustain the old lists to keep the official honor clear.

The House of Assembly have placed on the esti- mate of expenses of the colony during the coming year the sum of £500, in encouragemént of. a line of steamers between New York, Bermuda, and De- marara,@ eum which, considering the extent and means of Bermuda, will beara good eomparison with the sum proposed to be paid by the Dema- rarians, The Assembly have also placed on the estimate the sum of £200 towards the support of two steamers of light draught of water proposed te be sent ont here by the Imperial government, one of which is to be en; in the conveyance of passengers be- tween Sesto Bomersst, Iselaud. Osiana, and St. George's; the other to be engaged in govern: ment service here. Owing tothe increased pais of cattle the govern- ment contractor here, J. H.

Defeat of the Administration—Debate on the Governor- General's Speech in the House— Views of the Ministry— freroguing of Parlidment. You will probably have learned before this, of the signal and somewhat unexpected defeat which our Canadian ministry met with yesterday morning, after a protracted and stormy debate; the majority | against them being thirteen. Had all the absent members of the House—twelve in number—been pre- sent, and all in favor of ministers, they would still have gone under. At the commencement of the de- bate, which was upon the address to the speech from the throne, the government held out that they hal a majority of one, and it was not until late in the night that the fearful mistake in their calculations began to dawu upon them. Mr. Cauchon, (member for the county of Montmorenci) moved in amendment the expression of the regret of the House that the it did not intend to on for fields of Cuba. This very gentlemanly hint, which H the honorable gentlemen did not intend should | creep into public knowledge, will be borne in mind and as Germans and English, with the canaille | are liable to be uncomfortably classed with the the consideration of the assassins for their gentle disposition. As we know such excitement as might be dan- ve in the palace docs not confirm gerous is very much depressed by the bayonet in- | | the intelligence last given, that the Black Warrior fluences of our gailant chief, we do not’ apprehend any danger unless it should be by the tacit con- sent of the Captain General himself; and should , the intimation to that effect, which has been con- veyed by Mr. Legotia to several of his intimate friends--not having cultivated the confidence and Ale that he commends to his countrymen—we shall not be in so much danger, perhaps, as our friends may suppose; for we.can- | not be used up in detail; and the “enemies of the | Spanish race,’ die very hard. They will keep would not confine their regards to the mere strik- , ers of vice royal will. The project said to be in- | yented Legoria, is in keeping with the characteris- | Are- | ' tics of the deteriorated “race;” they make much | better highwaymen and church robbers than sol- diers, for which reason we are compelled to draw | ee, upon our negro poe to give tone and stability to Spanish chivalry. When the blood gets further tempered with the African Spee a(ter some twenty yearsof practical exhibition of | | the policy of Pezuela initiation—I have no doubt | cleus for the gathering at least of a | Havana; and this would draw another sort of crowd exceeding anything I have heretofore seen in Catho- | t We had the whole list of church, | iceroy Captain-General Governor of Cuba | ‘ead, with jet human settings on either side, | Ugh the paraphergalia ef our wormbip, | there will be great improvement in the standing army of Cuba; and id pays chief may chance to bave some curly-headed sprigs scattered among his own descending stock. a The proposition to commence the game with the present acting consul is not bad, for if he should es- | cape the knife, he would be a very dangerous nu- | Yankeedom in that would be formidable, and make it a question of prudence and safety with the Captain General, whe- ther he would or not face the music or pay the pinsr, and ran away—which latter he would be very ikely to do, notwithstanding his black body guards, or body of black; js. We do not feel uncomfor:- able under the ts of the §, h agents or the Spanish spies in the United States, very willing, one and all, to take a turn with the Yankees; and there will be crowds on the right side, when any such brush comes off, and some that may claim clan- ship with the Pr oat ied de la Pezuela, although he feels very confident of their truth and fidelity to his eTsOD. slanders of Col. Wm. H. Robertson drop m the foul tongue of the denouncing Legoria at his own feet, and weave a net for him, out of which it might be cult for him to stumble. As to all the tenerienne, Yankees, or correspondents that would not falsify facts to B pew the Captain General and help him to defrand public sentiments, ashe has doue public justice, the threats for them ave received in good , and they are ready to take their chance whenever the Captain General pleases, for better’ or worse, ae the case may be. lL hear jonable authority that Captain General has rec eived a caution not to per- mit any proof to reach Washington in relation to the interminable Black Warrior, “ that demand was made within the twelve hours of the law, for the privilege of making correction of the manifest of that steamer,” and to send forward testimony to like effect, negative, from the files of the Custom Honse,/or the evidence of the officers cognizant. of said facts. The contradiction will be made and go forward by this steamer for the government and advice of the Spanish Minister at Washington. Those that could teatify to the demand being made qill | not sacrifice themselves by giving it. But it can be | no longer a question, for the doing was of notoriety | throu; it our business community, the propriety | of which was discussed with the very officers them- | and the gen eelves, with the Collector, with Garrich, and a dozen ment the Seignorial Tenure qu 5 this would have been lost had not Mr. Sicotte moved to add to Reserve question e di nted in grits and the members it this Canada East with the c! formed an overw! ing phalanx. The fact is, the Grand Trunk Railway has ved the actual cause jownfall. The people have been ete minis- ters have fattened and thriven amazingly, and no progress, as far as the good of the country is con- cerned, has been made. A general feeling of dis- trust (not excluding even the Governor-General) -vails towards all connected in the scheme; and 80 long as Jackson & Co. and Hinks & Co. have the mana; tof affairs, there will be no confidence in the pia, whatever, Atthe moment of defeat, the government asked of the House the indulgence of Sf tard niet of the debate until this day at 3 P. M.; but as you see, they have adopted the most unconstitutional and arbi- trary course of proroguing Parliament without ex- changing a word more with the House—the purpose { being plain, viz: to remain in and meet the general | elections, (which will take place immediately,) with { their hands in the public coffers. They pretend resignations (said to have been tendered yesterday) by the Governor-General. The latter, by this hig | handed bape has sunk as low as he poasil ly } can, in estimation of all moderate men, an robes himeelf to be no true representative of her majesty. ‘The Siair came off with the usual state and cere- mony—streets lined with bah cannon saluting, &e. It took place in the hall of the Legislative Council. The messenger, being sent to summon thie faithfnl Commons, was a long time away. His excellency began to fidget, and the people began to suspect that the faithful but indignant Commons, like spirits from the vasty deep, though called, | would not come. It appears that there was con- | siderable excitement the House when the | three knocks were given at the door, and @ motion to adjourn was being warmly discussed. McDonald, of Kingston, moved to keep him out, and the confusion was extreme, several members epeaking atonce. It was cut short, how- ever, by the Speaker seizing his hat and following the mace; when the Commons proceeded to the Court House, and with the commune vulgus a sented themselves before his Excellency. e | Speaker acquainted him thatthe want of an address | in apswer to the speech from the throne did not pro- ceed from any want of respect towards his Excel- | eminent fajesty, and his Excellency then iat | a 8 d to the prorogation (to the 29th of July) ch. ea Reserves, Seigniorial Tenure, Reciprocity, | Extended Franchise, all go over till the fall.

It may not be uninteresting to many of the read- ers of the HeraLp to know something of Oregon. Though much has been written, there is room for more. Oregon is not as it has been—for it has been that anything and everything from Oregon must be pub- lished, consequently read—wrong fhferences drawn; and the results are large emigrations, great loss, severe suffering, and sad disappointment. Aman being in the country in the spring, oc sees it in all its beauty and glory, and when his soul is fired, he writes a glowing description, just asitia to him at the time. Another, arriving in the country in the fall—no house, lost all in get- ting here, finding almost constant rains, hungry, and otherwise uncomfortable, sets this firet maa down as a wanton deceiver, a falsifier’, and declares he will no longer stay in the country than such time as he can leave. Winter finally passes away, spring opens, the rain ceases, the birds sing, the flowers in Dblossom—you then cannot drive him from the country. But the time was when there were but few whites in the country—the emigration comfortably amall— and the impression was gotten from some source that Congress would give a liberal grant of land to set tlers, because it was worth nothing, being so far away; and the neceasary expense in getting here, counting the loss of time, required in justice that a m be well compensated for such an enterpr hence, every mnocteding ‘ctulgration, would be lereet, for the preceding emigrant would leave his friends to follow the next season, Until now we are in hait- eee yee, Thnk is le cartes cd u PERE sors far out of the way.

They now declare that moral justice requires that it be meted out to them. while the country was held in partnership between Eng- land and the United States, the Hudson Bay Com- pany succeeded in carrying the cream from the country, as no American ny could com) with it. Americans were driven from the river, and the country left to the avarice of the English; and in this situation it was found Sq emigrants who. commenced settling the , when they came in as the Dutchman’s pigs came home—‘They came in one together,one together, and by and bytwo came home alone.” These “ y stricken Ameri- cans” could stay in the country t> take far or raise wheat as they pleased, but to settlewhere the Hud- son Bay Company dictated, for they must have the wheat. Yet, notwit! all this, things passed on pleasantly, for every man was sure of necessaries while he them, and luxuries he never ex- pected, and adopted the noble sentiment: ‘ For ylatever thy condition, therewith be content.” ‘But what has made this change that exists? Things are not so now. Is it not because our go- vernment has extended jurisdiction over us?
