Now, however, it bas as- qumed again its wont'd activity. On the 30th April tLe American ships Sunbeam end Grosader arrived at Valparaiso from Hoston, each in 1.0 days. ‘They set sail irom Boston on the same day, at the same hour, and without meeting again in the mean while arrived there simultaneously.

Having these weighty things in view, in a palace-palaver a few evenings since, it was determined to be expedient that the Captain General should take the time of the antisipated honor, to visit, on a tour of inspection, the city of Matanzas, Vil of Cardenss, and the villages in their viciaity, for which he has been waiting leisara from more pressing obligations at the ‘‘Punta.’’ To-day our Caief leaves the city of Havana for this purpose, and will be absent until steamer day comes roned again, the 234 imetant; andthe whole country for seven days is to de filled with most uproarous narmopy—wbile Commodore McCauley, should he arrive, wili wart the time of His Excelleacy.

The events of the past week have been of more than ueval interest to thie enlightened community, as they are both temporal and spiritual. On the 27th inst. his Exceilency, the most illustrious Dop Frencisco ce Veren, Bishop of Linares, entered this city, followed by a numerous train of Gray uni Black Friare, and other church dependents, escorted by the military commancant, the illustrious member of the Ayuptemiento, and the city rabble, through the deso- rated streetr, under showers of beautiful fowers of the season, thrown from the balconies by the delicate hends of pious mitrons, young and hi ome maideas, and others of th ‘ter sex, Whose condition we will not at tempt to ch On the 28th the conducta from the interior delivered at the ndid msnsion of Messrs.

I regret to be obliged to tell you that the commercial relavons between this country and the United States are fer from being st ail satutactory to your countrymen, and that the Hon. James has lately besa en- geged in passing strong remonstrances and protests ‘net the recreant violations of treaty etipalations to the Prime Minister of his Seret ness. ‘These protests are against the numerous special con- ceasions which His Serene Highness bas granted to car- tain Furopea> houses, for the imtroduction of seven or eight cargoes of foreign goods on the Pacific coast, at 30 per cent lees than the rates by the estsbliehes ‘tariff, ‘whilst your countrymen are compsiled to pay on all their iinportations to the strict letter of «sid tariff.

Startled at such preceedings, your Minister could do uo lees than Temonstrate and Protest, sgainst the violations of the ireaty he is bound to protect, but his Kxcellency Bonilla has intimated to Mr. Gadeden that “ necessity kmows no Jawn, and treaties, lixe pie crust, were made to bs broben.”’ ‘The merchants of this place have no participation in such concessions, and their long viseges bear evidense of their blighted prospects, but im thelr aiooly mo of dark deepondency over their commercial rain, has not His Serene Highness atoned to them for their temporal Josses by sending this most illustrious Bishop to sooth — feelings in administering to thetr spiritu- ?

Mr. Soulé’s grea: distance will meces- sarily prevent a reply from him for some days. In the meantime, it is just that the public should have » cor- rect idea of the want of substance im the inflated opistie of Senor Perry. The style of th's grandiloquen: appeal of the Spanish Cabinet to the American people against the Presideat and his ministers, of which Seaor Perry is the traitorous instrument, will have recalled to every reader the splen- did Mexican pronunciamentos with which we ware so often amused a few yearsago. In whole and in detail, in sentiment, language and construction, it betrays its Spanish origin. There ia not even a deeent attempt to Americanize it in the translation, Iselect a few para graphs for particular remark, and they are but samples of the anti-American and Machiavellian character of the whole. “If there were any treason, if th trade to bo Drought 13 ight by the publication “ot tase Lot. ers Mr, Soulé must have known it already. But he maker no allegation, He pever made auy to myself.” Mr. foulé wrote Mr. Perry after his arrest by Louis Napoleon, a letter from London, charging him with be. ipg aspy and a traitor, and declaring his intention to chastise bim on his arrival at Madrid, if he dia not de. sist in bis course. A copy of this letter was sent by Mr Soulé to the editors of the National Intelligencer ana to the Union, with a request that they wouid publish it in com with the Perry correspondence. [t 1a due to Mr. Soulé that the editors of the National Intelligencer should now produce it since they have given publicity to this statement of Senor Perry. “His judgment was:clouded else why that long series of rrort!.

But nothing can be richer than the followios, consid- ering that it 1s addressed to the author of the Ostead conlerence:— “Yet be ought to have known something, h ating ab the congrass of Ostend. d if be did, sir, it is sadder still.” This melancholy protest was intended to start a tear. ‘The Ministers, of course, discussed only those questions which were submitted to them by the President; but our Spavieh graduate in diplomacy mak rather direst intimation here that th sident, and all concerned in the Aix la Chapelie con; , did not know what they were about, and that I trey ‘did, it was sadder still.” “The Hon. Pierre Sou'e thought proper to suppres an im portant despatch from the Secretary of State concerning the affair ot the Black Warrior, intended for the Sparish go- Yerpment, during the space of five months. I b' ever, to prevent the evil effects of that proceedin did se. ‘The proof is, that wishin » fortuight after ture, on the 20th of August, I at lonet, of whet , Athe did not, it depar- had procured from the Span- ish govern: a proporttion of a satisfactory chara the fen i tlement of that cifair, whose fina: adju: ment Wi ded at that time only ie the under of not addressing an officiel note upon that srbject to the Spanish Mister, in order that my conduct should rot coniiet officially with that of Mr. Soulé.’? How stand the iacts? Mr. Soul’ was progressing most successfully in his Cuba negotiations at Macr.d, when om a sudden Mr, Marcy, Secrotary of State, sends him qrit ten instructions upon the Blace Warrior affair, which he was to present to the Spanish government without ai gument, and to demand immediate action. Mr. So: coula but undcerstend from tiis despatch, that he w: expected upon non-compliance to make of it s casus tcii, He might have acted much more strongly than he did at the time and been inside of his instru Mons. But Mr. Marcy receded from his original po tion, and afier some time bad elapaed sent au elabora' argument upon the Black Warrior affair. Before Mr, Foulé kad reen the proper nioment to present the angu ment, be wae advised by Mr. Marcy to suspend any fur. ther action, as it was in eontempiation to send ou’ two oi the most distinguished statesmen of the United States to sox fer with him, Upon this, Mr. Soulé retired to his villain the Pyre- nees, Jeaviog directions with Mr. Perry no: to discass apy of the controverted questions with the Spanish government. Butin viclation, not only of that deco- rum upon which Mr. Perry’s paper harps, but of all honor, of ali patriotism, of allintegrity, of the unstrac- tious of the Minister, and of the orders and plans of the Department, ‘pot only did Mr. Perry—as he boasts—ranrack the files of the legation, but he did it in company with the Minister Pacheso, and thus laid to the Spanish Court the secrots of ponding m tations between the United States and Spsin, and ai sumed to his own paltry powers to se:tle ali those de! cate and import atters, upon which the Ministers at Aix la Ohapel ore expressly convened to aivise.

The reader will be surprised to learn that the only color for the above statement is found in the fast, thas Senor Perry skulked away from the legation for many sys after Mr. Sou'é’s return from London, not dering to face the Minister in whom he had outraged and be. boa his country. Only at the Bolicit st.0a end imploring importunitior of friends, and upon abject representations and protestations from Perry, with pra- érgal pledges for the futmre, did Mr Soule too generously refrain from suspending the eeeretary from tne legatiou. Mr. Bowls was Minister with plenary powers; his Ration would not take effect till his successor sbo1 arriv tt would be strange indeed if he bei not the power to suspend a traitorous secretary until instras. tions could be had from Washington —a responsibility which, it is to be regretted, he did not assume, and thus have saved from furtuer pollutioa our ‘‘honored armu.’? “The question is not between individua's; it is between the policy of ited States of America, bj meane a0 to an ‘This is a Spanish cabinet throat to bully the President, whose nerves are sup, id to be weak.

First, the polttisians, they say, turned the Know No- thing orgamvation to suoserve ther selfish project. he , Was very manifest at the late ‘great issues of parcy ‘ lear whig victory—for James Polloca’s election certainly have been—was turned into a Know Nothing triumph, and a democratic Canal Commiisioner, who deceived all par- ties, was elected over George Darsie, aa honest, experi- enced and able statesman, simply because the last named tandicate was born in Sootiand. ‘the action of the Legislature is strongly condemned. The address cn sooner was the political com- plexion of the Legislature ascertaiaed, and the possible election of a United States Senator forsshadowed, than & scene of intrigue and shameless bargaining beg i wholly upparalieled even in the annals of Harrisbarg.”’ ‘The whig candidates were thrown overboard, notwith- standiog the fact that there was a whiz majority, and the lodges were soon crowded with political hacks. ‘fhe advress again becomes personal, thus:— * Genera) Simon Cameron, who, as a veteran democrat, in September last denounced, Americanism as the worst of beresies, recanted. ‘Two distinguished whigs, one the son of a living and naturalized citizen, anc another wiih still stronger itary affiaities even to Papel Ireland, it is beleved renounced their ancient associations, ‘and were sworn a6 neophytes of the sotige. It was a stern and humbling necessity which for. them in, but in they went. The chief magistrate of Philadelphia, he who in 1841 had pronounced ‘lovely Ireland, the lumt- nary whose efflux of light has lighted the wor.d, the mother country ef America;”’ and had said that ‘no American can speak in derogation of Ireland or her sons without shaming the blood that flows in his own veins, and slanderin; dust of bis own family vauit,” har- ried to Harruburg to try to heep the door shut to more aspirants and promote his own ambition. There, too, were to be found struggling for the great prize of the Know Nothing lottery, others, not lees distinguished— an ex Senator and President of a dilapidated railroad , Mr. Lewis C, Levin an ex-member of Co: rf in guano—Dr. David Jayne, a dealer of the first class, onder the laws of tne Commonwealth, in pa- tent medicines; and to complete the incongruous group, the chairman of the American Executive Committee, Mr. Jobn W. Ashmead.” This attempt was not successful, and the address finds a new trouble in the nomination of George Law, who it ealls ‘‘a New York commercial adventurer, without an earthly claim to consideration, except that which money and personal insignificance give.’” ‘The address next sharges br David Jayne, Hon. L 0 Levin and Joho W. Ashmead with woring to ba: votes for the Fenatorship, and that Mr. Levin boas of it narrated under oath by a member of the Representatives in these words:—‘ Mr. Le- vin said he was a d——. ht too smart, if he had done such a thing, for the investigating committee, and the Governor, and the Legislature to boot, to catch him He would have covered up his tracks,’” Dr. Jayne made use of the tollowing words—‘I havo no claim upon you. I don’t ask the position upon the grouad of merit; but I understand that Simop Cameron 1s about buying the members of the ature, and I think I have as good a right to buy them as he bas. I am ambitious, court distinction, care not! about the offize on account of its salary, az everybody knows, and where Cameron has one dollar to spend, I have five.’”’ addres further alleges that ‘‘ the Kaow Nothing managers first contrived to secure an ascendancy in the whig meetings in the whig wards, ani used the name and the apparent organization of the whig party before the election, and then, the moment it is over. talk loudly, and in the language of this insolent address, claim it as a victory over the whigs.”” ‘Ibe addrees closes by calling upon the Know Nothing party to avow its principles in public, or else not ds ashamed of ben? secret order and disavow its obliga- tions outside of the lodge rooms, and urging tho 23,000 whigs and democrats who voted together at the last firmly united. It is signed by Al- fred L.’ Hough, Chairman ; Benjamin Huckel, Wm. J. Gillingham, Secretaries. The whole eseence of it seems to be that the Know Nothing paity has proved itseif superior in managem=nt to the whigs. om tics ay would election, to remain L.
