Hai! to the ChigfeSteamship St. Lanwrence—Mobile Pulse—Decided Sensation—New Trade—Mysterics of the G@ulf—Commands—Forces—Munitions of War— Porte, Coves, Islands—Dedarkation— Modus Operamdi Opus in esse! The filibuster excitement has reached a culminating point here, and rapidly becoming, if it is not already, decadent in Cuba. The valorous indignation that for some time past has inflated the ‘Captain General,” and converted into a vast camp the “ever faithful isle,”’ has, like Bob Acres’ valor, literally oozed away. Yet whilst quiet, peaceful seourity is resuming its sway, alarms are no lopger sounded, the brave volunteers are dismissed te their tomes with Concha’s encomiume and compliments, and the keen and rigorous vigilance, like the ooal-burat terrapia with protuberant head, is now relaxed and con- fined ehietly to the ‘Gastle;” the expeditionists are um- patient to swoop over the island and seize the tempting bait. Where is the chieftain? where the munitions of war? where the steamships and other transports? whence the embarkation? where the debarkation? Let us answer. ‘“Chapultepec’’ is said to be on the steamship United States, which is reported below Mobile, in the bay, snd that vessel is ostensibly a packet between New York and Mobile, though she has no agents or agent at Mobile, and is not advertised for any port. The General is not on the United States, though withio hailing distance. Like the Angel Gabriel, he stands with one foot on the land and the other on the wea, marshalling the forces, which way they shall go, and confounding observants more confusedly with the exist- ing mgateries of the Gulf. The incubation is complete, the fluttering follows. The steamship St. Lawrence cleared at New York for Key West by the clearers of the United States, arrived at Mobile day before yesterday, ke one entering a parlor unannounced, and, interrupt. ing on interesting tete-a-tete, startling the Mobilians from their propriety, exciting their pulse, and producing » decided sensation—conjecture was rife. Government offciols were deaf, dumb and blind. How could it be otherwise in their bewilierment? But a clever journal in our neighbor city satisfactorily explains the circum- stance, with the on dit that the St. Lawrence has been chartered, or is to_be employed, as a regular packet be- tween Mobile and Galveston, Texas. This is a new trade; success attend it. We anxiously await something defi. nite regarding the Massachusetts, The Mobile aad Gal- veston line will doubtless press her into service. By the by, vessels with the tonnage and heels of the United States, St. Lawrence, Ma-sachusetts and Pampero ought to doa thriving business in this new trade. But they ourht to go armed, for these outrageous Spanish cruisers cannot distinguish friend from fos, and might, throug an intarnational mistake or otherwise, give them round shot before the bows, over the paddle boxes, or in the “bull abip,’? Ths English, French and Spanish men of war are be- coming partial to our waters, and are tating as great an interest ia our property as though it were their own. Fie! fic! They have a longing for more knowledge, too, and would read our ‘‘Mysteries of the Guif.’’ The work is not published yet, but will be soon, when we will take pleasure in teaching them certain lessons therein ed, which, let us hope, may be well digested. If the names of the prominent parties said to be, nay, gaged in the enterprise of disenthralment, re- publicantsm and ultimate annexation, were published, the world would be ‘startled with the display. States- men of tke first marnitude—warriors of the yellow sash, honored and ensunguined in battle—men of princely fortunes, the ornament and pride of our navy and of our army, stand side by side, quaffing from the eame cup the holy pledge to *' sink or swim, live or die, sur- vive or periah”’ in the one great cause. Of this, mor: anon. Of the commands, the artillery, the cavalry, the in fantcy and the light ixfantry, with their field ‘and siege bette! their United States carbines, the Minme rifles and deadly Mississippi rifles, and of the actaal strength of the forces scattered throughout the id Atlaatic States, convenient to certain ports and coves of the islsnd, now specially populated for the nonce—of the sang Bashocs shaded byrature from the espionage of prying government oificials and allied cruisers, whence embarkations ray be made speedily or leisurely of the debarkation—and herein of how these things ma; be cone, [shall give you the first intelligence, and it will come at a fitting time. The work to be done is be. gun. In brief time I sball unlock the clasps the assur- ance of success to the cause, which now binds the ‘book aac volume of my brain,’ anda tale unfold that will make Old Spain weep. HIPS. TRI? OF THE STEAMSHIP UNITED STATES, Monti, March 14, 1865, Arrival of the United States—Her Visit to Havana— Offer of Capt. Graham to sell her to Gen. Concha. The steamsbip United States, John Graham, com- mander, arrived here this morning from New York via Havaoa. Had a pleasant run of five days from New York to Havana, where we found everything in a high state of excitement—more particularly as regards this steamer, from the numerous reports that had been cir- culated agaizst her, charging her as a filibustero, and, in fact, the admiral’s ship of, the expedition. The gov- ernment seemed anxiously awaiting our arrival, and in- stantly seat officers from the Custom House to examine her in every point, and also kept her closely guarded by placing offleers on board in stations during our stay in port. Capt. Graham at once proceeded to pay his respects to the Captain General, and after « conversation with him, assured him she was everything else but what they toek her to be, and effered him the noble ship for sale whieh proposal was favorably entertained, and may be accepted om her return to Havana; that is, if Captain Graham does not succeed in carrying into effect his an- ticipated project of forming a line of steamers between New York, Mobile and Texas. He has now ready two fine steamers well suited for the trade, and will have completed on the first of April next another, and one of Abe most elegant steamers afloat, and particularly adapted to the Mobile trade, on account of her light draft ef waterand superb and well ventilated accommo- dations, This one he also proposes to put on the line if the people of Mobile will extend to him the right of fel- lowship ané aid him in the enterprise. We were accidentally detained in Havana by the pilots runnivg tbe ship hard upon a sand bank in the harbor, bat with the aesistance of the crews of the U. 8. steamer Princeton, a sloop-of war Vesta, and the Spanish Governor, we finally succeeded in heaving her off with- out the slightest damage. On Sunday, the llth, at 6P. M., we passed the Moro and led to sea; after a parcage of fifty-four hours, made Mobile light.

Cuba and the Administration. {Frem the Peyton to ye Want We published yesterday an art rom the Washing- rm entived “Our resent and future relations ‘This article basa official tone about it, and was Coubtless either written by, or with the au- thority of, the President. It goesfar to confirm the trath ‘of the statement made by the Washington corres- pondernt of the New York Herat, that Mr. Pierce has been playing a double game in the diplomacy with Spain, and that, while his Secretary of State and Cabinet have pursued ome course with his sanction, he privately has been urging on Soulé another course. It is very certain that he criginated the Ostend congress, and there can be but Ittle doubt that he sympathises with the most ultra of the recommendations of the ministers. He is desirous of sigvaliring his administration by the act of acquiring Cuba, and to render bimself famous in this way he is willtog to plunge the nation into war. In this article Spain is told that she must say what she will do and nettle up before the next Congress meets, or that ‘ coer- cive measures to vindicate our national rights and re- dreas the wrongs of our citizens will be urged LO ge Con- gress.’ ‘This is plain language, and cannot well be mis- understood, There are three ways suggested by which all Ciffienities with Spain may be arranged, Firstly, by the purchase of Cubs; secondly, by the veal of Our neutrality laws; and thirdly, by the forci- weizure of Cuba. ve Girat mode of arrangement seems impracticable, use Spain will not sell, the Cortes having recently ved that the ‘‘sale of Cuba would be the sale of ish honor.’’ The second mode, of repealing the “ality laws, is too mean, cowardly and contemptible y cation which hes the least self-respect or ptide ertain.

The provisions of this bill are briefly as follows :— 1, There are to be 48 members elected, who are to serve for eight years each. 2, One-fourth of the Council are to retire every two years, thus insuring an infusion of the popular spirit at short intervals. , 8. The qualification for members to be residence in the Province, subjects of Her Britaunte Majesty, possess- ed of property to the value of $4,(00, and of the full age of 30 years. 4, The present members of the Council to retain their seats during life, but no farther appointments to be made by the Crown, 5. No power of dissolution to be in ministry of the day, ‘The tendency of our institutions is republican, and the adoption of the elective Council is the first step towards the establishment of a Canadian republic, or the eatry of this country into the great American confederacy. Al- ready have we a very considerable party claiming the extension of elective institutions to the Governor Gene- ralship, the judiciary and the magistracy; and whispers can now be beard culling for the abolition of responsible government altogether, and the establishment of the sys- tem which now obtains in the United States. Acciden- tal circumstances are gradually increasing this feeling. While the Clergy Reserve question in Upper Canada, and the Seignorial tenure in Lower Canada, remained unset. tled, they afforded food for that morbid desire for politi cal Scitation which characterizes the people of this Pro- vince. They are now in a great degree placed beyond the bounds of popular discussion, and new questions must be taken up. The influence of a ministry in controlhng a parliamentary majority for the passage of their measures, many suiyorters preferring to accept a bill, even when its details do not exactly come up to the mark, to defeating an administration, and risking the elevation to power of their political opponents, tends to create distrust, and is just now affording most excel lent topic for discussion. Perhaps no one act introduced into the Canadian As- sembly for many yeare has been better adapted to in- crease the morbid spirit of disaffection which prominent politicians, both in and out of the House, are attempting to rouse, than the Militia bill. The measure differs in many particulars, and very important ones, from the report submitted by the Commissioners, an abstract of which I send you. The bill fixes the Governor General, for the time being, as commander-in-chief of the forces, and gives him power to draw upon the Consolidated Revenue fund for such sums of money as may be neces- sary to defray the expenses of the militia ref volunteec forces, without a direct vote of Parliament, thus revers- ing the: constitutional rule, which gives Parliament the control over all money grants, and of an irresponsible person, so far as Cana: the control over our provincia! revenue. More than thyn, it specifies that ia case of active service, regular officers of her Majesty’s regiments shall! take precedence over the colonial offirers, The ministry should remem- ber the effect which this attempt at enforcing colonial inferiority had upon the thirteen American colonies; and although our people are loyal almost to fault, yet there is a bound beyond which forbearance is impos- sible. ‘This attempt to establish our own inferiority, by an act of our own Parliament, will have no great ten- dency to increase our good will towards the political mas- ters on the other side of the Atlantic. Again, the question very naturally arises, why sbould Canada be called upon to bear the expense of a force, to maintain a standing army, to defend the province, and gi it to the mo- ther country, in the event of war, when she is éenied apy voice either in the origination, the manzage- ment, or the results of that war? Had England granted to the colony a representation in the imperial Parlia- ment, she might, with much more grace, have called upon’us to prepare to assist in the defence of this coun- try. Asitis, she may depend upon it that the people of Capada will be iil disposed to sustain a force, to be inferior by act of Parliament to hers, when they meet on the same battle field, to mingle their blood 11 the seme cause, but haying neither the same interest nor the prospect of equal honor from the contest. That's polica force is necessary to maintain peace and order within the country—that even an efficient militia force is ne- cessary—is a wise precaution for’this purpose there are but few disposed to doubt; but every Canadian who has avy respect for himself, or regard for the honor of his country, must revolt at the degeading details of the measure submitted by Sir Allan McNab. The letter of your Sutton correspondent. announcing the existence of secret revolutionary societies in Canada, bas created quite a furore among the denizens of this province. Scarcely a ewspaper has failed to copy and comment upon it. Some affect to discredit the story, and jocosely remind their readers of the adage that ‘ wa must go from home to hear the news;’’ while othezg at- tempt to wake political capital out of it, throwing it in the teeth of Mr. George Brown and other provincial members of the opposition, as indication of the charac- ter of the company they keep, the societies being identi- fied by such ies with the reuges.

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH NEW YORK—CONVICTS —THE WEATHER. {From the Bermudian,»Feb. 7.) We understand that Mr. Rainey, a capitalist, of New York, bas forwarded to his Excellency the Governor of these islands, a communication oa the subject of a line ot steamers wh'ch Mr. R. propoves to establish be- tween New York, the West and Brazil, by the way of Bermuda. Mr. Rainey’s project is, as we are in- formed, to start and keep up communication, by steamers twice a month, from New York to Bermuia, hence to Barbadoes and Demerara, and thence to Para— the steamers return! by the same route.

Mr. Nash demurred to the return substantially, on the following grounds :--1, That there were not sufficient facts stated in the return and accompanying documents y, the defendant with having com- agatmnt the laws of this State, 3 It aid r that the Judge or people havetused due diti- nee have the defendant examined and tried. 4. at no intent to aid Lewis Baker, or any offence perti- nent to his escape, under the Revised Statutes, was charged against the prisoner. 5. That no notice of any (reine Bear yavenly hog thse ho pacts was cl r. 6. n0 homici was charged against Baker at the time of his escape, 7, That the bail was exorbitant. The counsel argued these points at ble length. He contended that thete was no authority on the record by which the prisoner could be detained; that he had not been examiged ; that he bad not been charged under oath that no complaint had been made againat Baker, and no death of Poole had taken place when Kerrigan was com- m tted. Judge Stuart, he said, had no authority to make the arrest, when the Corover’s jury had not found that Kerrigan was implicated as an accessory after the fact. The counsel quoted a number of authorities t> show that the tercieg had committed no crime; but his Honor held that it was mot necessary to go into the merits of the case on a writ of habeas corpus. So also in relation to the bail, his Honor aid be had no right to interfere in that question. The District Attorney regarded the whole of the coun- sel’s demurrer, with the exception of the first three points, as irrelevant. Under a habeas corpus the Judge could only look at the papers before him The question simply was whether James E. Kerrigan was legally de- tained or not. The law distinctly authorized the City Judge to make such a commitment as the one in ques- tion; and in that commitment there a specific charge gainst Councilman Kerrigan of being accessory af- ter the fact. If the counsel desired to bring up the merits of the case, the Proper course for him to pursue would be by certiorari e District Attorney asked, in con- clusion, that the prisoner be remanded, and that a sug: gestion ‘be given to Judge Stuart to examine him forth- with, _Judge Woodrnff had no doubt of the power of the ma- gistrate to commit tbe prisoner, and to detain him from day to cay, when causes rendered it expedient. But there must be a limit to this delay, and he (the Judge) felt disposed to adjourn the matter. He could not make an order on Judge Stuart—baving no authority todo so— but when the Judge learned of this proceeding he would probably feel it his duty to goon Such was the usual course on habeas corpus in proceedings like the present. beh then adjourned the case to Saturday morning next. Enlistment for the Eastern War in New York. DBSCRIPTION OF THR BRITISH HEAD QUARTERS IN THIS OITY—EMISSARIES OF THE ENGLISH GOVERN: MBNT IN OUR MIDST—-GOOD NEWS FORTHE ALLIES — THE NEUTRALITY LAWS, ETC. A notice was published in one of the German papers jately, to the effect that a recruiting office had been opened in this city, to enroll cfficers and mon for the British service, and that as s00n as @ sufficient number had been raised,"they were to be shipped by way of Hali- fx, Nova Scotia, to the seat of war in the Crimea. This strange intelligence of course created no little commotion, and the most contradictory rumors were afloat in relation to the matter, some denying and others affirming the truth of the publication. It was deemed increcible that the British government would open an office in this city for a purpose so directly in contraven- tion of the neutrality laws now in force. In order to ascertain the truth of the matter, a reporter was sent from the Hxratp office to make enquiries at No. 91 Chatham street, the place where the enlistment w: said to be going forward. On arriving at the place de- signated, the reporter found it was a rather dingy, looking fourth rate German lager bier shop. The room was filled with Germans drinking large mugs of bier smoking, conversing and otherwise amusing themselves: The ceiling of the room was lew, and the walls garnished with dirty-looking pictures, of @ very questionable artis- tic merit. A singular establishment, certainly, for the head querters of the British army in the United States, On enquiring for the person who teok the names of those desirous of enrolling themselves in the British army, the reporier was directed to the rear of the store, where he found a German seated between a table and what might, by a severe effort of the imagination, be termed a wri- ting desk. The following conversation ensued :— KeporTak—Are you the agent of the British govern- ment, who receives the names of recruits for the war in the Crimea’ Acxznt—I am, RePorteR—What terms ¢o you propose to recruits’ AGENT—$30 bounty, and $3 per month after enlist- ment. RxPoRrTER—Have you had many applicants? AGENT—A good many; between four and five hundred. ‘We have sent from eighty to ninety persons, mostly Ger- mans, to Halifax, where they will be immediately en- roiled and sent to the Crimea. We could enroll 500 men in a week, it we had means of sending them on, ReroktrR.—Have you rinted documents authori- zing you to act? If you have, I should like to see them. ‘The agent here produced a printed handbill, headed— ecoccococcoecec ose oc OosCOCCS ° ° o MEN WANTED ° o ° ° FOR THE Barriga sERvice. ° ¢ o eeocoecocosocoescoeceoSssoooS This document was dated from the office of the Colo niai Secretary, in Halifax, and went on to state that the Lieutenant Governor of Canada proferred terms to per. sons desirous of entering the British army — Ist. That privates should get $30 bounty, and $3 a month after enlistment. ‘2a. That officers and sub-officers should receive a cor- responding rank in the English service; and— 8d. That all shipping masters who brought recruit« to i ould receive pay therefor at the Colonial Ofice lace. The handbil was signed Lewis M. Wilkins, Colonial Secretary. ‘The conversation was zesumed. Reporter —Could you let me have this handbill: Acreyt—I have only two copies, and wish to retain Rereorrsk—I want one to publish in the HxRaun to- merrow. There has been some doubt as to the exist- ence of this office in the city, and this document being official, will place this matter in its trae light, The agent looked perplexed, and hesitated, but at th consented that the handbill might be copied; but while this was being done, @ hurried conversation in German ensued between the agent anda person who looked like a in, and the result of it was that the reporter was requested not to copy the handbill, as the “authorities” mignt not like to see it publiahed. Revextar—To what authoritys do refer? AGextT—To the persons appointed by the Govornor General of Canada to enroll names in this city. Rxrortkk—Who are those persons’ What are their names ’ AGrNT—(hesitating)—I don’t think it would be ad- visable for me to teli their names. I don’t wish you to say, as your paper did this mormang, that is a re- eraltine office. It is not so. We merely ship persons from this city to Canada, where they are regularly sworo and enrolled according to law. Revoxret—Is not this in violation of the United States laws? Acrxt--Oh, no, We have a right to ship half New York to Canada if we wish to do so. re is no law forbidcing shipments of men from this port. We were visited to-day by a police officer, but who sent him I don’t know. ‘The Reporter finding he could learn oo more left the lace, Pihie inal very singular. Here we bave in the very centre of the a icet aes - = pee i = fares, an office 0) enust officers ant vates for the Englich army to serve in the Eastern war. What mext?

We don’t charge for the advice. Meanwhile we respect fully call the atiention of the Lieutenant Governcr of Canada and hix authorities in this city, to the following from Kent's Commentaries, Vol. I., p. 122, where “it is declared to be a misdemeanor forany * * * person, except a subject or citizen of a foreign E, State, colony, district, or people, transiently the United States, on board of any foreign armed vessel, within the territory or Jurisdiction of the United States, to enlist or enter himself, or hire or retain another person to en- list or enter himself,” &c., &e.
