LATBH FROM EUROPE. News from Europe—The Insurrection im Spain a Russian Movement. It would appear by the last . vices !rom Ma- Grid that the insurre tions y movement in | Spain. ro far from bei g quel e ,is gralually gaining strength. The gariison nd popalation , of Barcelona ‘ave pr 1 a.ced in avor of the ! incurgents, and it is p ob-ble ta the whole of the province of Catalonia will f-llow its exam- ple. Here t e exi ting g vernment have most | donger to apprehend, ae, owing to ite contl- guity to the Fren.h frontier, on which large bodies of Carlist exiles have long beea concen- trating themselves in expectation of an out- break, it may be considered the focus of the revolutionary element. Notwithstanding the efforts of the authorities to euppress the trath by severe measures of repression against the opposition journals, we shall in all probability receive by the next steamer further accounts of the progress of the insurrection towards the sonth—the direction which, owing to the facili- ties of communication with the coast, all such movements usually take. From the declarations of the insurgent lead- ers, who profess that the object of the revolt is merely to free the Queen from the ascendancy | of a despicuble camarilia, it may be thought by those who are unacquainted with the present condition of Spain, and the state of | hopeless disorder into which its political wnd finaucial affairs have fallen, that the movement is an independent one, originat- ing with the progresistas, and baving no reference to external iufluences. Such, how- ever, is for from being the fact. The coloring of loyalty given to it has only been assumed for Prevent purpoees, the real object in view being ; thecompulzory abdication or dethronement of Queen Ieabella and the substitution of the No. 19 Catherine atreet, | Conde de Montemolin. Bat even this Project is subsidiary to the designs which have given vitality and strength to the insurrection, and which would not even hesitate to ignore the claims of the latter, if those of the Duc de Montpensier and his wife should prove more acceptable to the nation.

It would appear, however, that the retreat of the Mus- excite the remarks of the watchfnl correspond- ents of the English and American press; but, strange to say, the Spanish government paid no attention to the repeated warnings that it received, but alumbered on in all the confidence of a blind security.

To complete the picture of Russian despair and civil discord at home, and, in all probabilit: $ of endangering the very object for which it has incurred so much risk. It is 80-obviously the policy of the Czar to endeavor to distract and divide the attention of his adversaries from the steady prosecution of the plans by which his political inflacace is menaced, that itis surprising that the dangers arising from the intrignes of his agents in the ‘Damiliation drawn by the veracious correapondents | Peninsula should so long have escaped the ef the London journals, we learn in addition to the dmtelligence lately conveyed tous by the Chronicle, @ that the great autocrat is fast becoming a subject for ade Iunatico inquisition,the significant fact that ene of his generale, Aurep, has committed suicide, Prince Pashiewitch ia also stated to be dead.

Of one fact, in connection with the war, there ean be no doubt, and that is that the English gov- ernment are dreadfully bard up. Lord John Russell had given notice of his intention to ask for an ad- power. attention, not only of the Spanish government, but of that astute ruler whose watchful eye seems to be directed to every doubtful symptom in ‘the political horizon. One of his greatest perils will, in all probability, arise in this quarter.

Whitney, a rampant leader of the Know Nothings, was cloveted at the Astor House the other day, for two long bours, with the Hon. Thurlow Wee, the central organ of Sewardiem’? Are th Koow Notbings or the Seward party to be sold? That's al. of his amendment, two to one. Since that, Mr. Stuart and othere have donhtless entertained the idea that there is no use in passing a bill on purpose for a veto; but still, the majority o7 the Senate appear to be resolved upon it that Gen. Pierce shall show his band upon rivers and harbors, whatever the effect upon the forth- coming Western elections. And the majority of the Senate are entirely right: If we can bave no avowal of the platform of the adminis- tration on the Nebraska question, we are entitled at least to a distinct understanding upon rivers and harbora. The game of thimble-rig at the White Honse, at all events, has been very properly snubbed by the Senate. B®. Oaxs Sarra—In announcing Mr. B.

Embraced in our «po ef the proceedings of Congre # y+ 5 «rday, will be feud the material portions of the « ficial correspondence touching the recent bombardment ani burning of San Juan, os Greytown, she Atla tc jor. of the Nicaragua transit route to Ca ifornia. Trese official papers jeave the facta in the case as beretofore reported. The village was destroyed by order of tre admini-tration, becanse the auth: rities refused, on the demand of Captain Hollins, of the Oyane, to fork over seme $24,000 indemnities for damages done to the Nicaragua Trensit Ccmpany, and for the scurvy manner in which the eaid authorities he | treated Mejor Borland, and the official functionaries and people of the United States generally. It must be said of Captain Hollios, that he carried out his “bloody instructions” like a gentieman and « scholar—with great coolness, ciscumspection, and deliberation, and with a considerable margin ot mercy. But he hada very obstinate set of fellows to deal with. He could not frighten them into submission; he could not bombard them into a capitu- lation, and so he barnt them out, and made a clean job of it.. Instead of com- ing forward with the $24,000 on demand, they actually had the impudence to show fight, though they fled at the approach of the United States marines, It is a matter however, of universal congratulation that the battle was fought, the town bombarded, carricd by storm and destroyed, and a complete victory achieved—the completest of all the victories of the present victorious administration—‘ with- out,” (as we have said before,) “the loss of a single man on either side.” The inhabitants were duly warned, and got out of harm’s way, Their houses and buildings, not having the same powers of locomotion, were reduced to ashes. Capt. Hollins makes out his report to Mr. Dobbin, pretty much in the same vein which characterized the report of Gen. Taylor: to Marcy, of the battle of Buena Vista. He speaks with that natural confidence and self- complacency which always distinguish the re- port of a brave and generous officer, who is satisfied that he has discharged his duty in faithfully carrying out his instructions. Bat there is one point in Capt. Hollins’ letter in which he is destined to be disappointed. Ie bes anticipated the hearty approval by the ad- ministration of what he has doae. What will he think of it when he discovers that the Cabinet organ (the confidential mouthpiece of the Presi- dent) has not had the courage, the gratitude, or the courtesy, to utter a syllable npn the sub- ject, down to the very day that the official cor- respondence is laid before the House. The case now stands in this posiure. The administration, without the advice or consent of Congress, send down a ship of war upon a hostile mission to San Juan. The captain, un- der instructions, and in behalf of the United States, demands certain indemnities of the vil- lage ($24,000), which it obetinately refuses to pay. The village is destroyed, and the vessel of war returns to the United States without the indemnity, after all. According to Captain Hollins, the inhabitants and the authorities were “taught a lesson which they will no$ soon forget ;” but unfortunately, the question arises, who pays the piper? who foots up the bill of costs? The act was an act of war, without authority oflaw. The villagers may therefore rightfully demand indemnity of our government for the destruction of their property : or, if the execu- tive can make war, in spite of the constitution, he can seize and occupy foreign places as well as destroy them. Why not, then, seize the towa of San Juan, lay taxes. and collect the reve- nues of the port until all considerations of in- demnity were satisfied? That would have been at least a more sensible plan than that of killing the goose which laid the golden eggs, The House of Representatives have now the offeial papers before them. They have two important questions to eettle:—Tirst, the un- congtitutionality of the destruction of San Juan, as an act of war; second, the question of intom- nity in reference to the property destroyed. And the Senate will have this importa. ques tion to determine in reference to negotiations for peace, to wit, whether the attack upon San Juan was an assault upon the King of the Mos- quito coast, or the protectorate of England, cr upon a free city, made such by the interr-n- tion of the United States. Upon the morality and moral courage of this act of war we have heretofore expressed our views. Regarding the views of the American people, one word will suffice. They are disgusted. Welo k in vain for the destruction of a defenceless town, in default of $24,000, either by Gen. Carava- jal, Col. Walker, or the ruthless Apaches. The country will watch with interest the proceed- ings of the House upon this subject. Mretine oy THE Hantem Ramroan Um rany.—A duty devolves upon the shareholders of the Harlem Railroad Company this day, and we trust they will not evade it. That duty is to attend the general meeting to be held in Try on row, and vote upon the motions that will be submitted. A new President and Board of Direction are to be elected; and various mea- sures of interest, including the course par- sued by the company with reference to the Schuyler frauds, are to be submitted to the consideration of the sharcholders. We under. stand that some difference of opinion exists as to the choice of a new board, and that severa! tickets have been suggested or proposed. We have no concern in the matter, and take no sides. It is indispensable that the old board, which has proved iteelf so notoriously unfit to manage the affairs of the company, ehould be discarded, and that a new one should be choseny composed of men wh» may reasonably be ex- pected to exercise such a supervision over the concerns of the association as will preclade the possibility of repetition of Schuyler’s frauds. Further than this, wo have no couusel to give. Ail shareholders should at once cancel their proxies, snd be present in person, in order to judge independently for themselves. The Harlem Railroad must set the example of vrompt and energetic remedial action, and the New Haven and other lines will soon follow. Trex Mintroys vor a War wirk Srars.—The Woshington Union, upon the heels of the bom- bardment of San Juan, appeals to Congress for the «mall diecretionary fund to the President, in reference to our Spanish relations, of ten millions of dollars, or so, and thinks that such an act of covfidence in the Exeentive would have the effect of bringing the negotiatioas of Mr. Soulé to a speedy, advantageous and pacific solution, And what does all this signify? It simply means that, with the discretion of poace or warin the hands of the Executive, and with ten millions of dollars to back bim, he could, in the prerent dietracted condition of Spain, very earily bully Q een Isat Il, into the sale of the Ieland of Cubs on advantageous terms. So he wants te t-v millions on purpose to frighten | her Most O.:bolic Maesty into a bargain. | And the Hon‘g is called upon tu vote the sup- { ple But the burning of Greytown is so strongly suggestive of the inexpediency of the discre- : tionary power and funds asked for, that we fear neither the discretion nor the money will be granted. If, upon his own responsibility, and with a single sloop-of-war, Gen. Pierce can cap- ture a city, what might he not accomplish with the satbority of Congress, ten millions of dollars, and the whole power of the arty, the militia of the States, and the filibusters. to back him? He might overrun and anaex -by. force of arms the whole of the West India islands, before the meeting of Congress again in, December next, or he might lose the whole of our navy and ehut up under a blockade the whole of our commerce ia the attempt. Add, of Wall street is neither ready for the acquisition of the whole West Indices in the lump, nog” for the blockade of our Atlantic seaports, wehum- bly appeal to the House of Representatives to refuse the diecretion of peace or war against Spain, and to refuse the ten millions of money. The storming of the powerful city of San Juan is glory enough till December next. Then, again, judging from the facts of that achieve- ment, what scourity should we have against the invasion, with fre and sword, of Tcxas or California, by the Executive, with all the authority and means and sifpplies for war on & grand scale in hishande? No security in -the world. Let the House, -therefore, act wisely, and refuse the use of the money or the loali of its authority, in the matter of a war with Spain, San Juan and the forthcoming elections will answer to amuse the people during the re- ceBe, Avyoraxr TEN Mittion Scaeue.—The at- tempts made last week by-two members from Mississippi, to introduce resolutions to place at the disposal of the President ten millions of dollars, so as to adjust the difficulties with Spain during the recess of Congress, (vi et armis, we suppose,) are but another specimen of the means resorted to by the present Marcy- Davis administration. In consequence of the extreme steps adopted towards Gen. Quitman and other Cuban sympathizers, by Judge Campbell, and endorsed by the official organ, a very bitter feeling has been aroused in Mis- sissippi, and the Southwestern States generally the papers there being filled with denuncia- tions of Jefferson Davis. In order to try and counteract this feeling, and make the people, believe the administration is really favorable to the acquisition of Cuba, a couple of members from Miesisaippi have been induced to offer the filibuster resolutions referred to, Ofcourse. Jeff. Davis well knew that the House would not listen to such a proposition, and thus he hoped to obtain a cheap popularity at home by making it eppear that Congress had refused to place any money at the disposal of the President, and consequently it was imposelvle to do anything in the matter. We take it, how- ever, the people of Mississippi are not fools, and that they understand perfectly that if the administration was really desirous of pressing Spain to a settlement, nothing would be easier than for the President to send’ a message to Congress stating his object, and asking for an appropriation to carry it out. If Congress then refuses, the President and Jeff. Davis might say that it was not their fault. Bat she paltry dodge of getting irresponsible resolu- tions offered in the House for the express pur- pose of having them voted down, whilst it is fully in keeping with the character of the pre- sent administration, is too transparcnt to im- pose upon any one. Tre Exrc.sion or Amepican CrrizENe PROX Sonona—We understand that Messrs. Louis Hulse- man and William W. Snelling, whe were among the number of American citizens lately expelled so un- ceremonionsly from Sonora by the Mexiegn autho:i- ties, are now on their way to Washington, to urge in the proper quarter their claims to indemnity for the losses they have sustained. Their losses wore not trivial, for the gentlemen, it seems, were en- gaged in mining operations, working their own mines in Sonora. No accusation was made against them—they were charged with no crime—no well grounded suspicion of filibusterism rested upoa them—bnt still they were expelled, without eve: the form of a trial, and thereby lost almost everr thing they posseesed in the world. Nor was this all, for their personal g were as great as cruelty could devise. According t> their own statement, they wore first imprisoned at Guayamas, and afterwards sent to a desort island, where they remained without food for threo days, ‘They were then chaincd and placed on board she Petrite and taken to Mazatian, where they were kopt in darance a month before they were allowed out on parole, and were subsequently released on tho repro- scntations of Captain Downin, of H. B. M. alup Portsmouth. The Mexican authorities in Mazatlan admitted that there was no charge against the pri- soners, and that a blunder had boon committed by the anthorities in Gaayamas. If this should prove true, the Mexican government must surely be held responrible for the injury and the suffering caused by their officials. A Pmats on Partvarxes ovr Sr. Doxnieo.— Capt. Buckman, of the schooner Jenny Lind, from Guayama, P. R., informs us thet o few days before he sailed, he saw a letter, received by A. Reod, Es+., the English Consul at Guayama, from the Britian Consul Gereral at Bt. Johns, P, R., giving the par ticulars of an attempt to carry off @ British vessel by & pirate or privateer. The vessel captured was a sloop, tobacco laden, bound from Port au Platt, St. Domingo, to St. Johns. She fell in with an armed Schooner on the 28th ult. in the Mona Passage, and was taken in tow, and yemaincd captive for 36 hours, when she was released on tho appearance of a ship anda brig. She immediately proceeded on her voy- ege,and arrived safely at Bt. Johns. The schoonor ia deacribed as of about 130 tona burthen, with very raking masts, and painted black. She was armod with along brass eightcon pounder amidships, be- sides two carronades, and was well provided with small arms. Her crew was composed of 70 men, who spoke English. The only color shown wasa blve flag with a red cross. Tho Consul Genoral can- tions all British vessels to be on the lookout for this Privatecr or pirate, but which he thinks is most probably of the latter class. Marine Affairs.
