Havana, March 22, 1860. ‘The satiing of the expedition with the Cuban pott- tical prisoners on board, escorted by the Spanish ‘war steamer Lealtad, which took place yesterday, gave rise to intense excitement in this city, and de- monstrations of disloyalty were made in the shape of seditious cries and expressions of sympathy for - ‘the involuntary exiles. A Ouban, laboring under great excitement, made himself conspicuous by his shguting “Viva Ces- pedes,"’ “Libre Cuba,” and other expressions of ani- mosity towards the Spanish government. He was @rreated, promptly court martialed, sentenced to death and shot at dusk in the evening. A sentinel shot and instantly killed a police com- miasary named Romero, and the votunteers shot a ‘Spaniard and a negro. Captain General Dulce visited the barracks and quieted the volunteers who had become enraged by ‘the demonstrations of disloyalty and desired to giut their vengeance upon the populace. Captain General Dulce yesterday issued a pro- clamation, addressed to the citizens of Havana, in which he refers to the events of the day before. He says bia promises of maintaining order and justice hhave been observed; the man who had just been ex- -ecuted was probably instigated by others to create a disturbance, and it as necessary to.act in his case with exemplary severity; at this very moment the overnment was leniently sending out of the country Fore astute but equally culpable men.

Admiral Hof’ Report of the Revolution in Hayti—The Bombardment of Aux Cayes— Domingue, the Rebel Chief, Offers to Annex His Part of the Island to the Unioe—Cape Haytien Surrounded by Insurgents. WasaineTon, March 22, 1869. Rear Admiral Hoa forwards voluminous reports from Gommander Abbott, of the Yantic, of the pro- gress of the revolution in Hayti. Commander Abbott reports, under date of February 10, that the Yantic left Port au Prince on the 2d-of that month for Aux Cayes, finding there on his arrival the British war steamer Jason and a’ few foreign merchant vessels. The town was then besieged by Sainave’s Jand forces, the inhab- itants being in considerable excitement and alarm. Domingue remained at Aux Cayea, determined on making vigorous resistance. On the 4th of February the Haytien flagship, with Salnave on board, came into the harbor and anchored. On the next day Salnave sent through the Yantic notices ¢o the dif- ferent foreign Consuls and the inhabitants of Aux Cayes, announcing his determination to attack the town at half-past three the next day, unless sur. rendered before. When the town was first invested by Salnave’s troops a number of the tnhabitants, principally non-combatants, sought and vbtained refuge on the merchant vessels in the haroor, and when Salnave’s was made the number greatly inci l. foreign consulates were also overcrowdedg with refugees. On the evening of the 4th Domingue’ Secretary of State requested an asylum on board the Yantic, which was refused; but he was sent on board a Norwegian bark. On the atternoon of the 6th, presuming a bombardment would take place, the merchant vesseis, with the assistance of the Jason and Yantic, removed from the anchorage to a safe part of the bay. The threatened bombardment did not take place, however, and had not commenced when the Yantic sailed on the 8th. The President and Admiral were unwilling, to begin the attack until the arrival of the Salnave which was hourly ex- ted, At the inverview had by our officers with jalnave in regard to the protection of American in- tereaus and the disposition of reiugees, the Prest- dent was willing to do all he could to protect neutral intel and would allow rel who were crowding merchant vessels in such a manner as to seriously endanger life, either to go to Aquia, the nearest place under Salnave’s authority, or to return on shore. A majority chose the latuer. Our Minister also had an interview with the rebel chiet Domin- gue and his Cabinet, but no pacific arrangements could be made with them, as they appeared deter- mined to defend the town as long as possible. Do- mingue said he had written to Mr. Seward offert) to annex to the United States that part of the islan under his control, and requested the Minister to use the power of the United States to prevent Salnave from bombarding the town until Mr, Seward’s reply was received. This was, of course, decidedly refused. On the morning of the 6th of February our Minister, the captain of the Jason and Commander Abbott had an interview with Ramo, Domingue’s principal adviser and Secretary of the Interior, and acquainted him with the offer made by the captain of the Jason to con- vey Domingue, his Cabinet and principal officers thirty miles in the direction of Jamaica. The offer ‘was made from motives of humanity, with Salnave’s consent, but declined. Aux Cayes is defended on the sea side by three or four batteries, each mounting one or two guns. Commander Abbott was informed at Aux Cayes, by the Havtien Admiral, thatthe Mount Vernon was re- Ported to have arrived at St. Marks for the use of the rebels. The above reports include a copy of a memorandum of military executions by the rebel authorities at Aux Cayes, ries who are certified to by James De Long, Unit states Consul, as bemg worthy of full faith and credit. The details recount many acts of barbarity. The signers state ami other matters that when tae men in revolution desert the rebels their wives are imprisoned, and, in many instances, shot. A later report from the Yantic, dated February 26, states that Cape Haytien is surrounded by rebels, and that the inhabitants appear to be destitute. On the 20th the Haytlen war steamer Salnave entered the harbor at Gonaives, and that evening the revels attacked the town, but were repulsed, ‘ihe Mount Vernon was at anchor at St. Marks, the town being in possession of the rebels; but notning about her indicated that she was other than a lawful merchant vessel. While at Aux Cayes the American Minister visited the Jason, and on heats | was saluted with fifteen guns, which was returned by the Yantic. of ST. DOMINGO. Martial Law Procinimed in the Province of Seybo—Mission of M. Fabens to the Usited States. Havana, March 22, 1869, Advices from St. Domingo to the 10th inst. have been received. There was an appearance of com- parative quietness in and around the capital; but arrests and executions continued to be of frequent eccurrence. In the extreme eastern part of the country the insurgents were very troublesome, and the government had found it necessary to dectare martal law in the province of Seybo. M. Fabens, Special Commissioner of the Domint- can government to bay oe with him instructions to rent the Bay of Samana to the United States. He is very reticent on the subject, and no other particuiars as to the object of his mission can ve obtained. Rough Reception of Revolutionists. HAVANA, March 22, 1369, Intetligence from St. Domingo reports that General Luperon and the other revotutionists on board the steamer Telegraph arrived at Plata, the authorities of which threatened to shoot them if they at- tempted to land. They therefore left the place aad at present remain at Saint Marte. JAMAICA. The Haytien Rebel Steamer at Kingston— Refugees from Cuba and Hayti Flocking to the Island.

Miss KELLOGG’s MARGUERITE.—Misa Kellogg's appearance last evening in the character of Mar- guerite in Gounod’s “Faust” confirmed the tmpres- sion which she had previously made. Her imper- sonation of this most interesting character of the modern lyric drama is beyond question a master- piece. She seems to have stepped forth alive fron the canvas of Ary Scheffer. Goethe himself would have been delighted with her perfect conception apd her admirable rendering of the maidenly reserve and the womanly sweetness: and dignity of Marguerite. Gounod could not but be completely satisfied with the flexible, pure and resonant, if not very powerful, which, thanks to thorough training and an excellent method, does such full Justice to the choicest and most difficult passages of music in his ra. A large and critical audience heartily applauded yes- terday evening the hivh dramatic and musical talent displayed by Miss Kellogg in the reply of Marguerite to Faust in the Kermesse scene, throughout the scene in the garden, at the spinning wheel, in the jewelsong, in the enchanting duet between Mar- guerite and Faust, in the cathedral and 1n the prison. AS we have already had occasion to , her acting in the role of Marguerite is faultless and superb, and her singing entities her to ¢he first rank a3 an Ameri- can prima donna. BRoapway THEATRE.—Selby’s historical drama, “The Lioness of the North,” was presented at this house last night, with Miss Kate Reignolds in the title role, The attendance was not by any means so large as the reputation of Miss Reignolds should have warranted or the merits of the play deserved; and, a8 @ consequence, the performance dragged considerably. Miss Relgnolds, a3 Elizabeth Pe- troona, acted with great care, good taste and spirit, and tried to her utmost to make the piece go, Messrs. Jack and Car- den rendered her valuable assistance, and by their efforts redeemed to some extent the character of the performance. Miss Reignolds deserves better sup- port than was accorded her last night (with the ex- ception of the gentiemen named), for she was evi- dently contending with great difficulties all through the representation. The management cannot be surprised at small houses when pieces are produced in so sloveuly a manner as was the “Lioness of the North.” The performances closed with ““fwo Can Play at That Game,” Miss Reignolds taking the part of Lucy Arundel, J. C. Williamson as Howard Lesite and M. A. Lewis as Charles Arundet, Miss Reignolds concludes her engazement this week, and I’riday ts set down for her benefit. Woop's Muskum.—This place of amusement which, with its increasing catalogue of interesting curtosl- ties is daily attracting to its afternoon and evening performances large houses, was unusuaily weil filled last evening. ‘The “Colleen Bawn,” that singularly powerfut drama, and, in the evolution of its plot, presetiting such a skilful combination of pathetic passages, stirriug to its deepest depths every tender emotion of the human heart, and then in the gro- teaque humor of some of its parts rousing the spec- tators to the wildest pitch of mirth, was the play. Very rarely has this piece been presented with a better cast and with the mise en scéne more appropriate and elegant. But then the power of the play was in the superb acting of Mr. W. J. Florence as Myles na Cop- paleen and Mrs. W. J. Florence as Ely O’Connor. No more Pg personation of Myles—the keen subtlety, the siy humor, the heart’s devotion and unswel fidelity of the character—can_ be imag- med than that of Mr. Florence. He was truly natu- ral, even to his iove of whiskey, and which he ex- emplified in singing, with most bappy effect, the pion ted “Cruiskeen Lawn.” Asan artiess country i gr. lovely and jovable, and true and trusting, M jorence sustained her character witn rare and re yg Rg = a — - completeness closely e perfection. The rescue of Etly by Mules at the close of the second act was an intensely exciting Nava ‘of scenic representation. The delight and enthusiasm of the house at the fine of Mr. and Florence were manifested by frequent outbursts of ‘spoaese. It was @ complete success, to which the admirabie voice, support they received very at contributed. Mise Ada Hartana as Anne hate went fine; Miss loberteon Mrs. ec; as Cregan was Sol. Smith, Jr., as Michael Cot piece of acting, and Mr. Daly as Father Tom was ex- Pn true to nature. The piece will be continued ay week, which will terminate Mr. and Mrs. Florence’s engagement, and after which Miss Marriott, the distingui transatiantic trage- dienne, will make her appearance here, as already announced. Masical and Theatrical Notes. ‘The “stlver-voiced” Briguoli having severea his connection with the Academy and the operatic mum- mies therein embalmed, is now avout to start South with a troupe of acknowledged merit. Signor Brig: noli has been long a popular favorite in this city, and he now leaves with undiminished fame. No better medium to reconstruct the South in the mateer of music could be selected. tls dight has been too long hia under a bushel with the aforesaid mummies, and We are pleased to hear that it can now shine with undiminished brilliancy among the unreconstructed. Slim audiences have been the rule at nearly every one of our theatres during the past week, and ap- pearances indicate that the patronage of our amuse- ment mad citizens will be even more meagrely be- atowed upon the drama during the present. This in & measure is owing Lo the close of the Lenten eeagon, and this being “Holy Week" it is but reasonabie to suppose that those who have enjoyed them- selves to their heart’s content for one whole ‘year will endeavor to silence the pricking of their conscience by indulging, during the remainder of the present week, in fasting, prayer and good works. Our managers are all aware of this, and have con- sequently made no extraordinary effort to fll their houses during the next five nights. They offer no hew inducements to their patrons in the way of novelties, and each, apparently, is reserving nis forces for a grand splurge on Easter Monday nigit. ‘That evening will be marked by the production of “The v4 @ Opera House; “La angals; ny will appear at the Academy of Music; Miss Marriott will make her debut before an Ameri- can audience as the “Melancholy Dane," at Woods Museum; Mr. Couldock and daughter will commence 8 pent eogereeees ‘at the Broadway, and various other attractions will be offered upon this occasion to our citizens, in the way of burlesque, tragedy, music, and spectacular and sensational drama.

Cowgs, March 6, 1969, We Engtishmen, with our outside reputation for & phlegmatic temper, are excitable enough on a cer- tain range of topics, and one of these is our mastery Of the sea. There is no reference to guns in this, nor to that mastery that is contested for in the effort to see who can build the most outiandwsh sort of float- ing battery and throw the moat irom in a given time. Our opinion is that we possess that mastery that lies in the best seamanship and the best akipe—that our model for vessels and our training for sailors are bet- ter all round than what ere found in any other coun- try. This 1 a thing to which we have so made upour minds that question seems preposterous; when, therefore, our supremacy 1s doubted, and there is a proffer to contest it, wo are naturally im a ferment. ‘This ts the sort of excitement that is now stirring us all up apropos to the anticipated coming of several American yachts—the Sappho and Dauntless, as we hear for certain, and perhaps the Phantom and others. Excitement runs even higher than it did when we were expecting the arrival of your three gallant boats from their cruise across the Atlantic; for then, fine as was the contest we witnessed, we were witnesses only and had not the feeling of those who struggie for their own pride and fame. In a former letter I gave you some hint of what was on hand tn the way of preparation here. The follow- ing circular will tell more. It has been addressed to the commodores of the various yacht clubs througn- out the United Kingdom:— Royau Arsger YacaT Civ, Sourasea, Feb, 22, 1869, Sir—At a meeting of the Committee of the Royal Albert Yacht C:ub, on the 13th inst., it was sugwested that as, trom the anticipated visit of foreign yachts to England, the yachting season of 1869 promises to be one of unusual interest, it would be @ favorable opportunity to hold a int ational regatta, the starting point to be ide the Isle of Wight. To carry out this project in a becoming manner would require the cordial Cs ern of the prin- cipal yacht clubs of the United Kingdom, 9nd it is hoped that they wouid join in an undertaking which has for its object the encouragement of yacht racing and the promotion of good feeling and emulation among yachtmen of all countries. The enterprise being of so important and national a character, it ia contempiated that by an appeal to the yachting community and the public there would be no difficulty in rassing funds to provide prizes commensurate with the occasion. It 1s stated that America will send at least two vessels to compete with British yachts, and that the French are constructing two or three for the same purpose; and it mi presumed that should this regatta be determined w many owners of foreign yachts will be induced attend with their vessels. It ts the opinion of many that a grand inter- national regatta, carried out with spirit and liber- ality, would give great ¢clat to the season of 1869, and be gratifying both to the public aud to ail interested in yachting. Should this si tion be favorably received by the club will you have the kindness to inform me, if it will be convenient to you, or the vice commo- dore, or some member deputed by your club, to attend a meeting of the fag oficers of the several principal yacht clubs, to be held in London, at Willis’ Rooms, at three P. M., on Tuesday, the 16th of March next, to take the subject into consideration, and, if approved of, to appoint a committee to carry out the necessary measures. ' WM. CONWAY-GORDON, Vice Commodore. It is apparent, of course, that until after the pro- posed meeting and the comparison of views fro. as many clubs as take part, nothing can be said post- tively as to what will be done; but the movement bas already received assurance of support from some of the best clubs m the country, and from many distinguished individuals fond of the sport, It is estimated that the committee will be enabied to olfer a prize of not less than £1,000 value, Such a prize contested for in these waters by yachts of the great maritime nations—America, France and Eng- Jand—will be a trophy worthy to adorn the rooms of any ciub in Christendom, carrying with it the honor of @ victory where the best energy and skill of the world was on trial. It Sardly needs that I should dwell on this to put American yachtmen on their mettle in preparation for the contest. Although no course is yet indicated nor any pointe save that of starting, it is yet understood that care will be taken to fix upon a course suitable for vessels of builds peculiar to the diferent nationalities, and this will make it no doubt anything but a smooth race, since the American demand for justice to the American model appears to be for an ocean race, and our own claim is that ours are the true sea bouts. There will certainly be French boats in the race; but, nevertheless, the reat strife for supremacy will be between American and English craft. There is nO naval agchitecture in the sport that caa claim to be French, The French boats are on our modet; tiwy may be even built in our yards. They will be handied by French sailors and will give national breadth to the contest, 90 far as seamanship ia an element in it, and that of course is not an unim- portant part, BUILDERS OBSTRUCTING THE PUBLIC STREETS. New York, March 22, 1369, To THE Epitor or THE HERALD;— Will you not call the oficial attention of A. Oakey Hall, Mayor, and of Samuel B. Garvin, District At- torney, and George McLean, Street Commissioner, to the plundering from the public by the builders or owners of property on Fifth avenue, between Forty- fifth and Forty-sixth streets, of the amount they save by encumbering the most popular avenue of the city with building material and debris? Those oM- cials weil know that there is no authority in this city with power to grant permission toa citizen to en- cumber the public streets devoted by law exclusively to the use of the travelling public.
