Highly important news from Europe, brought by the steamship Niagara, which left Liverpool on the 23d ult., is published in to-day’s Heraip. The final proposition of Great Britain to Austria for the preservation of peace—namiely, a general disarmament, and the admission of the Italian States to the proposed Congress—had been re- jected by Austria, although all the other great Powers had given their assent to it. Austria had also imperatively demanded Sardinia to disarm, and disperse the volunteers from other Italian States who had entered her service, or accept the alternative of war. Three days, ending on the evening of the 24th wt., were allowed Sardinia to reply to this ultimatum, and in case of non-com- pliance a declaration of hostilities was to be issued England had telegraphed a strong pro- inst Austria's menace to Sardinia, to which she replied by announcing her refusal to reconsider her determination. These events created a panic on the Paris Bourse, and a fall of three per cent in the funds. The Lon™ don Stock Exchang ed on the 2ist till the 25th ult., for the observance of the Easter holidays: con- sequently the full effect of Austria’s movements had not been developed. Nevertheless, consols on the 21st declined one per cent, without sales. Preparations for the approaching conflict were actively going on in Austria, France and Sardinia. Austria had despatched an additional force of eighty thousand men to the frontiers of Piedmont, bringing the numerical strength of her army in italy up to 300,000 men. Tho French forces were held in readiness for an immediate movement, and it is reported that the army will be commanded by the Emperor in pe In London Ameri on. n securities were dall, but an- changed in price. In the Liverpool cotton market a decline of one nth to one-eighth of a pen- ny—ns compared with the prices current on the 17th ult—on the lower grades is reported, one-six- teenth on middling, while fair quafities were un- re-election of the old Board. A letter was read from Governor Morgan, accompanying a profile map of the enlarged Erie canal from the Hudson to Lake Eric. A vote of thanks was passed for the donation. The chairman of the special com- mittee to the late Sanitiry Convention report ed the result of his mission, This opened the wry for a long discussion, by vayious members dcnouneing the present Quarantine system. Capt. CoH, Marshall brought to the notice of the Cham- bor a communication received by him from the Uritish Consul in relation to collisions at sea. Tho tter was referred. The Committee on the Usury lows presented a report, and were discharged from ‘Le further consideration of the subject. The com- m ttee express their great regret and mortification t at the recent session of the Legislature terminated wit! out even bringing to a vote the question as to areform in the Usury laws of New York, but con- g utulate the Chamber upon the fact that their ar- guments have been successfully used in some eight or ten other States. At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen yes- terday the Mayor sent in the nomipation of Jacob Wincmuller for the office of City Inspector. The Board treated the communication as it has those on the same subject which have preceded it— sont it back to the Mayor. A motion was made to discharge the special committee on the City Inspeo- tion, but as it was stated that the conmittee would mect on Monday the motion was withdrawn. The Street Commissioner was directed to report his rea- for not complying with the resolution of the dsuthorizing the repair of the City Hall. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, but the proceedings were dovoid of gen- eval public interest. A number of reports of com- mittces were presented and laid over for future ac- ton, tle charter requiring papers that involve an expenditure of money to be advertised. A re solut«n was adopted permitting ten additional stages to be placed on the Madison avenue line, also to give Hose Company No. 2 a new carriage The Board concurred with the Aldermen in direct- ing the widening of Wh'tehall and Reade streets to bo commenced forthwith. A message was re- ceived from the Mayor, to which was appended a st of twenty-one contracts for the construction of sewers, and thirty-one for the paving of streets, re- pairs of public buildings, piers, &c. The Mayor states that it 's necessary to have this work com- pleted during the present season, and recommends the Common Council to take some action upon them immediately. The paper was laid over and ordered to be printed in the minutes. The Tammany Democratic General Committee met last evening and adopted a series of resoln- tions congratulating their fellow citizens upon the defeat of the nefarious schemes of oppression and spoliation introduced in the Legislature at its re- cent session, and complimenting the democratic members upon their successful resistance thercto. The resolutions may be found in our advertising columns, i The Mozart Hall Democratic General Committee held their regular monthly meeting last night. Seventy-two members were present. They were in session but ten mites, and adjourued after transacting some routine business. Owing to the rumor current all the forenoon that the Niogara bad arrived at Halifax with important nows, transactions in cotton yesterday were checked, being con- fined to about 300 bales, in lots from store, taken by spin- ners, and which afforded no criterion of prices. The do- cline in Liverpool reported by the Niagara had been par. tially anticipated by the North Briton, The most impor tant pbaze of the intelligenco—which did not transpire until about 3 to 234 o'clock P. M.—was the imminent dargor of an immediate war. Some persons considered that the three days’ ultimatum of Austria was equivalent to the declaration of war against Sardinia; still there Was no panic in cotton, and no symptoms of any unvgual desire appeared on the part of holders to press sales, Dealers seemed disposed to await fuller details of the news, or the receipt of private letters, before ¢oing much. Some considered that the character f the meagre despatch, which was 80 tardily received, might be considerably modified by fuller accounts, or by private adyices by the Niagara. Flour, with the excep- tion of rejected or common brands of State, was firmer and in good request, closing in some cases at higher prices. Wheat was firm, with moderate sales. Corn was firmer, snd the demand good. Pork was weaker and lower, with sales of new mess at $16 25 a $16 35, old do. at $16, primo mess at $1 25 a $16 50, changed. Breadstuffs and provisions were buoyant: The steamship Cahawha arrived at this port yes terday evening from Havana, with interesting news to the $0th ult. The brig African, Capt. Britton, which cleared from this port on the 19th of March last for Port au Prince, Hayti, had, it appears, on board some thirty-five flibusters, intended for the invasion of Cuba. They carried with them two hundred and forty muskets and other war muni- tions, and attempted a landing at Nuevas Grandis on the 7th ult.; but when they had placed a quan- tity of their powder on the boats, they leaked— some reports say swamped—and the men had to re- main on the brig. Capt. Britton then steered for Port an Prince—as we are informed by the Empire City, at New Orleans—where the filibusters were put on shore, and remained at last datea without money, fool or employment, except as given them by the charitable. The arms were seized by government order, and placed in the public stores, and the Spanish Consul at Port-au- Prince having notified General Concha of the facts, war steamer was seut from Havana in order to demand their arrest. It was thought that the ridi- end nm would have a very injurious 2 the government at Madrid filibuster sympathizers in Cuba. The i African was paid one thousand dollars in ad- vanee for the work. She a long established regular trader between different ports of the United States, principally New York, and those of Hayti, under the command of Captain Bulton. She cleared from New York for Port-au-Prince on the 19h of March last, but the names of the party or persons to whom the clearance was made does not appear on record. The brig was built in Calais, in 1851, and is owned by Captain Britton and others in New York. She is of one hundred and ninety-three tons burthen. There is little news from Havana. Sugars were dull. The news of General Miramon’s late victories at the city of Mexico, and the report of the with- drawal of the exegualur of the Spanish Consul at Vera Cruz by President Juarez, had animated the “church party” agents and friends in Cuba. We have news from Hayti dated at Portan Prince on the 15th ult. The country still enjoyed quiet, and President Geffrard. continued yery popular. The final disposition of the coffee fifth tax was not decreed. The colored people about to go to Haytt from the United States would be very welcome. Onr files from Bermuda are to the 27th ult., but they contain nothing of interest. In Trinidad, West Indies, the Immigration Agent General draws the following flattering pictare of the effects of the immigration during the past year:— “Mortgages of ancient date, and almost hopeless amount, have been settled; the laborers carn a higher aggregate of wages; their houses are com- fortable; and at this moment the colony can pro- vide ample means for the further introduction of needed labor.” Our Utah correspondence to-day gives one Week's later news, to April 9th, from the Mormon territory, and comprises varions opinions as to the state of affairs there. The court at Provo had broken up, and the army had taken up it march for Camp Floyd, with the prisoners in charge, some of whom, not having been indicted, would be dis: charged on reaching the camp. Everything was quiet, and the Mormons evineod no disposition to disturbance. The annual mecting of the Chamber o; merce was held yesterday afternoon, Pelatiah Perit in the chair. The balloting for officers of the Chamber for the ensuing year was syyor lea wild, aud rosulted, with but few exccptioas, in the 4 expedit f Com: | nd prime at $12 50, Sugars were active and firm, with sales of about 1,800 lhds., chiefly Cubas, at prices iven is another cclumn. There was increased activity in rice yesterday, with purchases for export; the salos embraced about 1,800 casks, chiofly within the range of Sige. a43ge. Coffee was steady, while sales were confined to some lots of Maracaibo and Laguayra, at prices given in another place. Fraight engagements were moderate, and rates unchanged. War In Europe—The Ranging of the Nations and its Results, The news from Europe by the Niagara leaves no doubt that war has been formally declared between Austria and Sardinia, involving France. The exact position of affairs at the latest date was this:—Austria had rejected the final proposi- tion of England, demanded of Sardinia that she should disarm and dismiss her Italian volunteers, and bad given her three days toreply. Highty thousand more Austrians had been ordered to the Ticino, and French troops were moving to- wards Piedmont. This is the beginning of a contest the result of which 20 man can forezce. Much will depend upon the ranging of nations—for no one, in Eu- rope or out of it, supposes that the conflict will be confined to the three Powers already named— and this will, fora while at least, be governed hy the share of guilt in forcing this result that may belong to the several Powers. The Italian question is the immediate point at iseue. For years England has endeavored to induce Austria and ber dependents in Italy to adopt a more liberal policy of government, but without success. Louis Napoleon tried the same course, with the same result. Both go- vernments broke off their relations with Naples. Both sympathized with Sardinia, Austria was immoveable. She went on making secret treaties with several of the Italian Principalities, binding them still more strongly to her despotic policy. Andon New Year’s day last Louis Napoleon gave the significant hint to Baron Hubner that he “did not like the course his master was pur- suing.” Noone will suppose that the French Emperor spoke before he wasready. Since then the complications have continued to increase. | Efforts were made to settle matters by a Con- gress. Austria presented demands that every one characterized as absurd, and from which she had to recede. Such was the course of affairs | Up fo the 19th of April last, when Lord Derby | announced to the British Parliament that Eng- | land had made one more proposition, and if it | was rejected, “she would say that the period has gone by for trifling.” This proposition was that a general disarmament should be arranged by commissioners, and that the Italian States should be admitted to the Congress. This has been refused by Austria. The fact is, she desires war. Itis her only hope for preserving her in her present possessions. A long course of misgovernment, extravagance and folly, has brought her to the end of that career of living beyond her means which brings the same result to nations as well as men. Her treasury is exhausted, her credit gone, and her | only chance of avoiding revolution lies in a | forelgn war. With such a stimulus, her subjects may forget the evils of their government in the " quthusiasm of patrigtigm, ‘The chaage of battle, NEW YORK HERALD, too, may favorher. It is a desperate resort, but she has chosen It deliberately and must abide the end. © France the present etraggle is also of ;reat import. It is the ‘ort to destroy that ivfamous partition of Eu- rye, made at the Congress of Vienna, from stich sbe was excluded, and where her rights “ce Ignored. Louis Napoleon has prepared binself for it, Never was his empire so power f.., on land or sea, as now.

Acd be- yond tb’s, seeking as she does t» overturn the worn ont dynasties that have so long trammelled the nations, she will have a large shace of popu- lar sym atby, and render difficult, if not impos- slbl‘, the vast alliance which overthrew the first empie, To Europe, a war begun with the pur- pese of restoring constitut‘onal rule to Italy, and founding its governments upon the consent of the people, is pregnant with great changes. It must extend, and before it is closed it will de- stroy forever the absurd axiom that kings govern by divine right. I¢ will not be without its effect in England too. The popular fecling there has long sympathized with Itsly, and no government oan hold its place if it opposes the present movement of France ; and it is even doubtful if it oan so far sustain Austria as to preserve a neutral position. The tory puty will try to do this, Lord Derby talks about not looking with indifferesce upon any altcratlon of the occupation of the A iriatic and its shores, and of England's vast interests in the Meciterranean, But theae interests can be letter jreserved by a peace than by a wor with Fraree. The old tory policy ia tiv rela- ms of ccntinental Europe cannot be revived with apy chance of success before the people of England. They care too little for the iat-res's of E -roy ean deepots, and too much for the wel- fare of civilization, to consent to that. The efiect of this war upon us will be in every respect great. It isa war of passion as well as of principle, and will, at no distant period, ex- tend far and wide, wrapping Europe in one genc- ral conflagration. Politically, industrially and commercially its import to us cannot be over- rated. But if we would reap the harvest it may bring to us, we must be prepared to take at once the stand which it becomes a great nation to take. Belligerents as well as neutrals must re- spect our just rights, and to make these to be respected we must be ready to defend them. Our navy will be called into the most active service, and the government should put it upon the most efficient footing. one Tur Arrroacutnc Summer Seacon.—The con- tinucd flne weather, the vernal appearance of the country, glowing with spring blushes and redolent of flowery perfumes, the busy hum of trade in our bazaars, the gay crowds in Broad- way and other city thoroughfares, the c!astic sicp and bright faces of our business men, the plethoric bank statements and heavy receipts from custom duties, the generally cheerfal a:- pect of business throughout the Union, all give indications of a gay, pleasant and prosperous summer and a flush autumn. The fashionable world is preparing for a lively season at the watering places. The short season at Washington, which was disastrously ended by the killing of one fashionable man by another of the same set, hada temporary effect upon the gay world; but we live in a fast age, when the effect of the most terrible excitements wears off almost before the grass has begun to grow over the grave of the victim, and we find society all ready for a new spring in the most eligible di- rection. That season culminated properly with the Napier ball—a grand affair—out of which, by all accounts, the managers contrived to make a few dollars for themselves, and to do the Willards, who will distribute the amount in extra charges upon the bills of their other customers, just as the tailors make cash buyers suffer for the bills of those who go on tick and never pay at all. Nor are the Willards alone. The chief hotel keepers throughout the country reduced their prices in 1857-8, and will now take advantage of the flush times to put them up again. There may be some exceptions, such as the La Pierre House in Philadelphia, which is one of the very best and cheapest hotels in the United States, as we hear on all hands. In some points it isthe best hotel in the country. ‘The landlords at the watering places are brush- ing up for a good season. Newport, itis ex- pected, will eee this year an approximate return of ita pristine glory, which has been of late years somewhat after the manner of a tradition. Money will be more plentiful than it is now when the summer opens. The banks, relieved from go- vernment loans, will expand, inflation will be the order of the day, and the lords of creation will be expected to come down handsomely for the summer amusements of the ladies. Now we are just entering upon the summer carnival. The Opera is in full feather, with the chartaing Piccolomini renewing her triumphs of last winter; the art gallerics and Broadway shops are crowded, all sorts of public amusements flourishing, and the town crowded with saints and sinners, high and low, Holy Week for the anniversarians commences to-morrow, and it is to be hoped that the peccadillocs of the fashiona- ble world will receive the earnest and prayerful consideration of the faithful. The conversion of aSouth Sea Islander is an casy matter com- pared to the redemption of a Fifth avenue hea- then, but the tougher the job the greater the glory—a fact which we hope and trust the parsons will bear in mind. A revival in the world of fashion would be a thing worth working for, but scarcely to be expected. We shall probably have, with a briek season at the watering places, a plentiful crop of frivolity and flirtation. Be- fore fall sets in we may be called upon to chronicle half a dozen runaway matches and similar misdemeanors, with here and there an affair of honor, or a shooting scrape, to make up a piquant variety. It takes all sorts of peo- ple to make any kind of a world, and in this new one of ours matters are particularly mixed up. Tue Srercn or Mr. Rives—We publish to- day s special report of the late political speech 0 Hon, Wm. C. Rives, at Richmond, Va. His programme, as therein laid down, may be re- duced to three points—the suspension of the slavery agitation, acquicecence in the Dred Scott decision, and a general war upon Mr. Buchan- an’s administration. Barring some features of the Dred Scott decision, this is the platform of Mr. Batce, of Miszouri, Ex-Governor Haunt, of New York, and other old line whige, who dream of the resuscitation of the old whiy party.

Tox Fyp or rae Cus, Frumosrer Biren TION —The famous Cuba filibuster expe sitio: hus torned up at Port au Prince, Hayti, consist- ing of Don Joré Elias Hernandez and thirty-two others, all Cubans. It seems that they a creed with the captain of the brig African to put them into boats within fifteen miles of the port of Nue- vae Gyandes, in Cuba, for which service he wa: to receive $1,000, When the timecame for them to Jeave the vessel, there was too much seq on or tco little courage among them to venture, and so the verse! continued her voyage to Port au Prince, We give elsewhere all the doc imente which have been published in the Havana pa- pers, including the peper protest signet by ull the members, which present a curious h story ot this foolhardy undertaking. We reprint also the account we gave of the expedition som» threr weeks ago, which, it will be seen, is confiemed in every particular, The Captain-General of Cuba has despatobed a vessel of war to Port au Prince to demand the expeditioniste, aod if they have not succeeded in getting on board some vessel to come to the United States, we shall not be sur- prised to hear that he has strung up some of them, by way of encouraging others, and sent the rest to try the African airs of th> Spanish prisons at Ceuta. Tae Pubic Weanra—Conprmion or rue Sraee7s.—If summer brings its enjoyments to the inhabitants of crowded cities, it is also at tended with causes for anxiety. The occasional day of recreation in the green fields and in pure air is often dearly paid for by the return to an unwholesome atmosphere. Daring the cold sca- son the neglect of the usual sanitary precautions by those entrusted with the charge of the public health leads merely to inconvenience. Frost and rain perform the work of disinfection with out the aid of the city scavenger, whose labors, irregularly performed, have no perceptible effect upon our bodily condition. It is different, how- ever, in summer; then the absence of those natural deodorizing agents which Providence sends to our assistance at ether seasons tells im- mediately upon the City Inspector's . returns. There is but one way of guarding against this result, and that is by the exercise of greater vigor and watchfulness on the part of the autho- rities, If they would only perform their duty and keep the strects regularly swept and watered we might maintain ofr normal condition all the year round. Unhappily, their atterition is so occupied by matters pertaining to their own in- terests, that they have no time to bestow on such small considerations as the public health. ‘Thus it happens, that with a taxation of nearly ten millions a year, our streets are in all seasons ia a worse condition than is probably to be found ia the emallest township possessed of a municipal ad- ministration. In other communities, although the spirit of jobbing may be as rife, and the corruption as undisguised, there is still sufficient civic virtue left to save the sums appropriated to sanitary expenditure from being classed amongst party spoils. With us there is nothing too sacred, nothing too critical, to insure such an exemption. The Moloch of cupidity and sel- fishness must be satistied, even though thousands of lives should be sacrificed to its thiret of gain. At the present’ time, when the hot weather is rapidly setting in, and the period approach- ing when the utmost vigilance is re- quired to prevent the outbreak of epidemical disorders, what evidences do we find that we are living under a regularly organized system of sanitary rnje? We learn, indecd, that there is such an officer as the City Inspector, from the fact that there is an endless squabble being carried on in regard to him between the Alder- men and the Mayor; but in the meanwhile dirt and garbage are accumulating in every direction, and the seeds of disease are germinating for a plentiful crop of summer epidemics. If our strects are left any longer in their present condi- tion, we shall soon have a tolerably clear con- ception of the meaning of the mysterious fomities £0 learnedly talked about by the savants of the Quarantine Convention. We are, in fact, rapidly breeding the elements of fever amongst us, whilst those who have the care of the public health are fighting over the spoils that are to be made out ofit. It is only when their families fall victims to some terrible visitation that they will become sensible to the fact that in protecting the public interests they are averting danger from their own doors, INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON. The Conduct of the French and English Ministers in Mexico Repudiated—The Com- mislonership of Patents—New York Qua- rantine Affairs, dc. OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESParcu. Wasirncrox, May 6, 1959. ‘The British and I'rench Ministers here have assured our government, in the most positive terms, that the action of their Ministers in Mexico is without authority from the home government, and that their course will not only be disapproved, but severely condemned. ‘The new Commissioner of Patents will be appoir.ted to- morrow. Tho applicants for the post are quite numerous, but the contest is between Wm. D. Bichop of Connecticut, and David L. Seymour, of Now York. Mr. Bishop, hay- ing just been defeated for Congress, will probably get it. There is somo talk of removing two persons who aro at the head of two important bureaus, and who have ro- cently been caught plotting against the administration— one in favor of Seward and the other for Douglas, The matter is now under advisement. Ex Governor Seymour is here at present, as one of the recently appointed Quarantine Commissioners, for the pur- pose of conferring generally with the government upon the subject of Quarantine rogulations, &c. He has sug- gested the propriety of the Navy Department lending one of the old line.of-battle ships for the purpose of a floating hospital. It is understood, howevor, that there are many obstacles in the way, to say nothing of the rather serious difficulty that there is no such vessel now available, all tho line-of-battle ships capablo of floating being used a: receiving ships. The Department has no authority to lond any of the national veesels to State authoritios, and it would therefore require the interposition of Congress, which throws the whole thing over. It is vory easy, if the Commiceioncrs determine upon the propriety of sioat- ing hoepitals, to Lire merchant ships for that purpose. THE CENFRAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH.

If any confidence can be piaced in the representations of the Nicaraguan Mintgtcr, Senor Jorez, we will havo uo further difficulty with that country, notwithstanding ail the interested and filibuster rumors to the contrary, Senor Jerez has informed the Preeident that tho amend- ment to the Cass-Yrisarri treaty, of which our govern teent complains, was inserted with the passive assent, 1f not the positive approval, of General Lamar, and he has assured the President it will be at once stricken out when Nicarsgea learns that the United States insist upon the retifcation of the treaty intact. The truth appears to bo that to the (otal want of fitnces on the part of Gonoral Tamar for the position which he occupied may be traced all the ¢elay and difficulty which bas occurred in ratify: ing the treaty and opening upon a proper and friendly basis the trangit route. The President has informed Sonor Jerez that as goon as a contract is entered into for tho trans- mission cf the United States mails by tho Nica- regca route he will insiet upon the communication being open ard uninterrupted, and to this end he will order a naval force upon the Pacific and Atlantio sides, with dixcotions, if necessary, to land a sufiicieat number of koldiers to protect the route and the mails, To this Senor Jerez 1eeponded that his government had every desire to ‘fee the route open, and would interpose no objection to the ‘apding of United States soldiera if their protection was deemed neceeeary. ‘there is every reason to believe that throughout all the Central American negotiations Great Britain is acting in good faith, As a commercial fact, of as much consequence to her as it is to us, eno desires to eee the Isthmian routes al open, Mr. Bucbanan docs not ask that tho United ‘States shall epjoy any peculiar privileges, and he therefore gece Dotbing in the decire of England to participate ia the advantages which will bo derived from a free and uninter rupted communication across Contral America at which the United Sates can justly cavil. fo much has been said about Sir Gore Quseley’s mia- ‘siov,’and 60 many falsehoods have been manufactured as to his having musied Mr. Buchanan, that the facts may as well be stated brieily. Sir Gore Ouscley, whilst in the United States, made no representation waatever to Mr. Buchavean a6 to the scope and bearing of his mission. Lord Napier, by direction of bis government, commuai- cated to the President—informally, we believe—a copy of Ouscley tractions, and go far nothing has transpired which gives color to the idea that these instructions are not being carried out in good fuitt. Thoy are to the effect that the English Minister was to make such treatics with the States of Ceatral America as would place his govern- ment on a par commercially with the United States; and, this being cffected, he wes to proceed formally to give up to Niceragva all rights, claims and interest in the Moe. quite protectorate, and to abandon in the same manner to Honduras her settlements at the Belize. No doubt is expressed here but that this programms will be carried out in good faith, additional assurances having already been given by Lord Lyons to this effect. Movements of Wiliam Smith O'Brien.

In thoze carly, simple days there was roa- son in counci!, and corn and women in prospect; and im case of many years’ journeying there was manna by the way for food, and cool water from the flint rock for re freshment. In theso ‘ater days of high emprise, tho vista shows a land flowing with milk aud honey—to be seem from the'r mental Psgah—and all else, it would geom, is to be accomplished by the blowing of horns with the feeble breath of a retired Walkerite, and a militia genoral who goes with “destiny” for Cuba. Maximus in minimus et valeat res ludicra, Information, perfectly reliable, has been received by the government of Cuba of tho landing of one cargo of Cubans destined for the regeneration of their country, im nigger land. The first phalanx of freedom for Cuba arrived at Port au Princo on the 12th instant. Their harness, arms and accoutrements all seized by the authorities of the country, and the patriots, with- out a dime in their pockets, allowed to sun themeclyes at their pleasure—too proud’ to work, and ia a country where, if labor is not found, there is nothing to eteal—a predicament of more forlorn desolsticn for the Junta could not well be devised. ‘Ihore 1s a difterence in favor of the heroes—had they landed on Cuban goil they would have ceased to want {ood a8 there would bave been ne life re- aging sustenance remaining for anxiety to be troubled with. If the balance of the expedition, reported here bya great Waiker flusucier, should follow ia equal proporion to the cntering wedge—one priest, with his retinue of caa- dio bearers, would load them ali off in holy Processioa, without the aid of soldiery, into captivity or to tho gar- rote. bs This movement may bave been necessary to farnish bread for seme of the leading visionaries—those who would not peril their own Lives ip a contest for freedom, but who are willng to sactitico thousands in what they know to be an idle folly. The days cf diafiection bare pagsed—nothing bat eome extraordinary and harsh measures of the govern- ment conld create a disposition toward resistauce to the autboritice of the island om the part of the people.

Havana, April 80, 1859—4 P. M. More About the Filibusters—Wilt the Government of Cuba Demand their Arrest? —The Yacht Roselyn and her Irips— News from Mezico and ils Effects. Jn issue of ‘this date you will find the published docu- ments relative to the thirty-five persons who were to have been landed on the coast of Cuba from the brig African now in Hayti. What reclamation: may be proposed by this government I do not know. There would bo some objection to the delivery of their persons to the care of the Spanish authorities, 28 no acts have been com. mitted which would justity it, even under treaty of ex- tradition. We have nothing more to add, gave that the smile is ‘upon every Spanish face over the news from Hayti. The beauttful yacht Roselyn yet remains the graceful gem of our bay. Mr. Mills and his friends have tasted the hospitality of their friendships made iu this city, and their gentlemanly courtesy bas been reciprocated as far as the. would the rselyes permit, The yacht has made several excursions into the Gulf with parties on board, showing her beautiful qualities as a sea-goer with such speed as we have not been familiar with under canvass. ‘On the 26th she accompanied the steamship Isabel about fifty miles on her passage towards Key West, and re- turned to port about ten o’clock the same ¢ay. The act- ing Consul of the United States was a paseonger on board in order to work off the supertiuous material of bad diges- tion—and he succeeded, 1am no great sportsman upon the ealt, but I could not help enjoying the scene presented to me through the kinducss of Mr. Mills, who combines the suayity and urbanity of the polished gontloman with the frankness of the sailor.
