Onur Havana correspondent, writing on the 13th inst., sends us some important news concerning the Gelicate state of the internationa’ relations existing between England and the republic of Mexico. The British steamer Tartar had arrived at Havana on a ernise to the West India ports, in order to collect a large number of other war vessels, when all would proceed to the Mexican coast to enforce the pay- ment of certain claims said to be due by the reyab- Sic to subjects of the British crown. It was report ed that if the demands were not quickly satisfied, a strict blockade ot the chief ports of Mexico would be commenced at once, and that Mr. Doyle, English Minister at Mexico, bad elready demanded his pass- ports. uera!

Mr, Field, especially, pre- sents a fine contrast with the noisy, riotous, un- constitutional, hectoring, bullying champions of the secessionist candidates. It was Mr. Fillmore, as every oue knows, wh@ first started the idea that in the event of Fre- mont’s election, the South would not submit. Mr. Fillmore is not a young Bobadil or a crazy Southerner: he knew perfectly well that he was saying what he did not believe—that he was ut- tering an untruth in the hope of winning votes. However, at the time he made the remark, the question had not been so thoroughly examined as it has since. Mr. Fillmore might hope that his little trick would escape detection, and that a few weak voters would be frightened into suppo: him. It does not appear that Mr. Fillmore’s friends were unanimous as to the manner in which their chief should be supported. The Richmond Whig net only epproved the notion of disunion, bat started the original idea that the South under Fremont would return to the arms of the British lion: while John Minor Botts and others were impelled to confess, with characteristic can- dor, that they thought a national existence po ble, even with Fremont as President. There was confusion in the camp. On the part of Buchanan, at the oulset of the canvass, Senator Toombs blurted out that the election of Fremont would be the end of the Union. he position having been found good by the Forney-Sander kles Committees Mr. Buchanan was permitted to write a letter in which he expressed the same view. He, too, con- sidered that after him came the deluge. Brooks, then, with the laurels of the Sumner q@sault yet fresh on his brow, made his great speech. He was not only willing to dissolve the Union in the event of Fremont’s electioa—and had he not r ot?—but, further- more, ch on} on the treasury eas glor' the Palme Mexico. ¢ ary treason had him. He must h Secession was weak ; he craved civi g s to e blood and r is to add, after these, that Senator Slidell is classically resigned to the disrap tion of the Union in the event of losing the Cabinet office Mr. Buchanan has promised him; that Governor Wise will cut off the North if he fails in hfs endeavor to raise the price of niggers to $5,009 pe buck; that poor Keitt, who has been lang for a char will consider There are others dout ur, who have done the this assinine collection of Quattlebums: but mind.- We have not lac’ our disap either.

Not only was it impossible for any one out of Carolina even to think of Quattlebum without splitting their sides, but the very Caro- linians themselves could not stand it long.

We admit that Quattlebum is mach wanted in the present extremity. Keitt has claims to be called Quattlebum Keitt; but the General though blessed with an unsavory name, was a man of action, and herein differs from Colonel Brooks’ bottleholder. Brooks, too, has been said to resemble Quattlebum ; aud his proposal to march on Washington was certainly borrowed from that illustrious warrior. But none of them neither Wise nor Brooks, nor Buchanan, nor Keitt, nor Fillmore, nor Slidell nor Toombs rank in history as high as the General of 185 We repeat, we must have a Qnattlebum ; if the =outh Carolinians cannot find one, they deserve to catch it on their own.

It was difti- 1 to conceive the motives that could have in- eneed this singular proceeding, unless, indeed, as suggested at the time, it formed part of a certed plan with Eagland and France to ear- ty out certain designs which those nations had ong been jointly prosecuting in regard to Mexico. ‘The announcement that Great Britain has taken steps to enforee the claims of the Mexican bond- holders, and is about to send a squadron to Vera Cruz, goes far to confirm this supposition. These claims, as our readers are aware, have long been in virtual abeyance, and daring the govern- ment of Santa Anna, who showed himself in all things subservient to the policy of England and France, no violent measures were resorted to to obtein a settlement of them. The fact that the success Comonfort’s government will give a death blow to the hopes of that policy seems to be the only ground for this illiberal and un- generous step on the part of Eogland. A consti- tutional government like that of the latter was peculiarly bound to respect the efforts made by Mexico to restore order to her affairs and to re- cover her national independence. That she has departed from a course eo consistent with her po- litteal professions, and whieh is likely to bring her policy into diseredit, is a proof that the object of her present demonstration against that coun- try is dictated by the most selfish and unworthy motives. We presume that the excuse which will be offered for this proceeding will be some such jug tifleation gs that tet forth in the legal opinion obtained from Dr. Phillmore hy the Spanish bond- holders, in the case of the Venezuelan claims. Notwithstanding the arguments of the learned jurieconsult, ae well as those of Lord Palmers- ton’s famous circular of 1848, it will take some- thing to convince the world that this is the op- portunity for enforcing such demands against a people who are engaged in a last and desperate effort to shake off the degrading trammels which have destroyed their liberties. What does our government intend to do in the matter? It should at once demand the real object of these formidable demonstrations against a sister republic, in whose independence of foreign inter- vention we have almost as great an interest a* that of our own. If the motive had been merely the settlement of these claims. they could have been more easily effected by the arbitration of a third Power—say of this country —than by this violent alternative, Such being the fact, we are demanding from the British govera- g the demay t vie ot of (Cheers) J say, never will act with any ‘that does not ctand upon the constitu tion—] mean jor the righte of the South.

This is the democratic plan, then—first Kansas at the point of the bayo- net, and secondly Cuba by a piratical seizure, “if we possess the power; at all events, we are to have a trial for it. What a glorious epoch of civil and foreign war, servile commotions, nigger insurrections and filibustering forays we shall have with the election of James Buchanan! In view of these things, can Mr. Keitt inform his Southern friends which is the safe side of the line? We can. Tue Fitinestenine § © at Paxana.—The enormous scheme of filibusterism which Mr. Cor- wine's report is understood to disclose—which is fully revealed in our telegraphic message from Wasbington—will be read with amazement. It appears that it was the design of Jefferson Da- vis and Mr. Pierce to make the Panama massacre a pretext for seizing the whole Isthams, and thus closing their administration by plunging us into a war with the maritime nations of Burops. Nay, it is not quite certain that Mr. Marcy will yet succeed in defeating the nefarious project.

The death of this distin- guished man—as Mr. Shepard is now called by those who execrated him a week ago—has cre- ated an entirely new phase in city politics, and given Mayor Wood the vantage ground and po- sition.

CHAMBERS STREET THEATRE—A NEW PLAY. Mr. Eddy, who is getting on very nicely with bis adventure at management in Burton’s old theatre, pro- duced last night, before a full house, a new three act play, never before acted, called ‘Fate, or the Children of Love.” This piece is like the ‘Corsican Brothers,’’ the Ange t Demon, and several other very effective dramas founded upon the extraordinary resem™ance of twia brothers, Francois and Jerome de Montville, both acted by Mr. Eddy. ‘The first act opens in the chateau de Montville, in one of the French provinces, Francois is at home, while Jerome bas departed on a visit to Paris. Francois is subject to fits of insanity, and is in love with Juila, (Miss E, Lewis), who is betrothed to Jerone. Francois ayows his passion, and is rejected, kindly but firmiy. Mme. Montville, (Mrs. Bellamy), now receives a letter from Pasis stating that Jerome has abandoned himself to the lowest debauchery, and become the vic- tim of a courtesan. Francois, awakened from his insani- ty by bis brother’s danger, goes to Paris, to save hin, followed by the bleseings of Mme. de Montville and Ju. ia. The second act ig said t» transpie in Paris, “Faubourg Saint Germain;’ but we suspect the Faavourg Saint An toiue would be nearer the mark. There is a ball, at which Jerome and his love, Madame Margo (Miss E. Ray- mond), are preeent. Madame, haying got all the money #he could out of Jerome, throws him off. A mysterious stranger (Mr. R. Johnston) arrives, and after rather a jong tory turns out to be the deserted husband of Ma- dame. He demands that she shall be ready to accompa ny bim to Italy, at four o’clock the next morning, or lie Wil kill ber, While meditating on this pleasant alterna tive, Madame sees a gleam of hope in the return of Je rome, whom she seduces into insulting the stranger. The result is a duel, with pistols, at six paces, in~a room, without seconds. While the ball is at its height the report of pistole is heard, and Jerome, mortally wounded, is brought into the ealoon. Francoisarrives just ia time to sce bis brother die, and the stranger flies, pursued by gens Varmes. In the third act we are again at the Cha teau, to which Francoiz bas returved. The eight of his brother's body caused a fit of insanity, from which he bas only partially recovered, and he considers the inci- dents of bis trip to I’sris as a terrible dream. By a not wpcommon fatality, the stranger's steps flying from arrest are directed to this chateau, which he enters and meets Francois. Neither person is acquainted with the {dentity of the other. While they are conversing, Francois’ eye falls upon & newspaper coataining the account of his brother’s murder, and the description of the murderer. Jie springs trom his chair to inspect the stranger’s fea tures, and when he turns around observes the apparition of Jerome seated in the chair. Francois and the stranger fight with swords, and both are killed. Bye curious see eflect the apparition of Jerome ts also wo in ap iluminated mirror. There is an underplot which relieves the sombre character of the main incideats. The play is, as wili be scen, one of the modern French dramaz, rel; log more upon striking effects than on the brilliaucy of the dialogue.

BURTON'S NEW THEATRE—FIRST APPEARANCE OF MISS POLLY MARSHALL. The arnouncement that the popular English comedi enne, Miss Potly Marstali, would appear last evening at Burton’s new theatre, for the first time in this country, attracted one of the largest audiences which have assem- bled within ite walle since its opening under tts present Wanagement. Misa Marshall enjoys, in her native coun- try, an enviable reputation as an actress in the lighter kind of comedies, in which she also promises to be n favorite with the patrons of the stage on this side of ths water. Her personal appearance is decidedly in her fa- vor, and the moment she was introduced to her audience she creaied a pleasing |mpression, which was afterwarde ‘well suetained by her acting. Miss M. is a little below the medium height, with a merry, laughing face and a buxom gure, decidedly inclining to what “our mer. curial friend, the Gaul,’’ would term embenpoint. Her acting was free from that embarrassment which usually attends the debut of a uew actress before a strange audience, and was as successful as her warmest admirers could desire. Her first appearance was in the comic burietta of “ Catching a Goveraor,” in which she introduced the pas de fascina‘ion, which was received wih enthusiastic applause, but which we must fay we bave often seen much better danced. Still there is romething in Miee Marshall's style of dancing which bas « peculiar charm about its charm that extends to everything she does. In the “Object of Ieterest’’ she ‘was not eo successful, but this was attributable to the play iteelt, h isa ratber dull and stupid afair. A! together, ver, her debut was very successful, aad if she plays as well every night she will soon become « eat favorite with the New York public. nd Mrs. E. L. Davenport appeared in the pleasant little edy of ‘Faint Heart never won Fair Lady, and were obliged at the close to come before the curtain to receive the hearty applause of the audience, Re Oresive or tHe Broanway Tagatre —We are jo formed that an arrangement bas beea made by which the eatire south wall of the Broadway theatre will be reb allt at the expense of Messrs, Bowen and McNamee, whose excavations on the adjoining lot caused the fail of part of the theatre wall, as stated some time since, The new ‘wall will be two feet thick, and will be further etrength- ened by substantial piers. The present arrangement is made between the Letrs of James Raymond, the owners of the theatre, and Messrs Bowin and McNamee. Mr. Marshall, the lessee, consented to it, in order to save the property from further jeopardy; but he has made no compromise with Bowen and McNamee, and oonsiders that he bat been damaged at their hands to the exteat of twenty thousand dollars at least. A large number of Mr Marsball’s employ és are now under pay, and the wall will not be (nished until the lat of November, when the houee will be opened for the regular season, Iu the meantime, it is proposed to give Mr. Marshall a benefit; all claeses of our citizens would be glad to express their sympathy for ove of the most liberal and popular of our managers, and we hope to see the alfalr go forward, Tue German Oren — ‘Stradella,”’ which was success fully dove at Niblo’s Garden on Saturday, will be repomted this evening. ‘“Stradella’’ is ® light, pleasant opera, by Fio\ow, and is much better suited to the taste of the peo ple and the powers of the company than ‘Robort le Diable,’ which has an unpleasant, sulpharows «mel! about it at the best.
