ENGLAND. respondence Regarding Disputes Bi America and Eugiand. The London ines of Janes contains ule follow- ing editorial relating to matters at present mm dispate petween the United States and England:— The correspondence respecting the negotiations With the United States government on the Alavama ean the British claims, the questions of naturali- and the San Juan boundary, has just been published, and deserves the attentive perusal of ery One Who would form a notion of this contro- @ersy. We may say that, although well aware of the Frankness and the desire for g good understana- mg that have characterized the two successive British governments which have taken part in this correspondence, we did il these papers, know the lengiis to winch eouciliation had been carried, and how completeiy it was their own propositions and their own act whieh the Americans repudiated through thelr Senate. When we consider tie exacting and critical, not to Bay captious, spirit which the United States govern- ment exinvited at every step of tue negountions, and compare it with the conceding temper of our own, when we also consider that all which was yielded ou this side Was iusuficient to prevent an almost una- Bimons rejection of the treaty, we almost despair of the success of any negotiations in which this country should ventare to pay regard to its own fights and itsown honor. ‘the Unitea States govern- Ment first proposed we order in which the matiers should be discussed, and made the discussion of one of them dependent on the settiement of anotier. They gave Mr. Jobnson his instractions, and on his soncluding a convention with Lord Stanley accord- tng to what our goverament was iniormed to be purport, the President and Mr. Seward ob- fected to it and insisted on @ new convention in Many respects essentiaiiy different from the former. When Lord Clarendon came into ofice bis first duty was to consider these new demands. In a spirit of almost excessive conciliation they were assented to, ud it Was this Convention, not only the work, but ‘the revised work, of the American government, that was rejected by the Senate; not, however, until Mr. Reverdy Johnson had made an effort to revise It once more and make additions to ft tor the purpose of importing an entirely new principle. The course of the negotiation Wii be best under- stood by a short summary of eveuts in their order, The first despatch is from Lord Stanley to Mr. Thornton, and itis dated Fevruary 15, 1868. In it the British Envoy is informed that Mr. Adams had communicated certain portions of a despatch from Mr. Seward, in which @ wish was expressed that Bome means might be found of arranging the dif ferences existing between England aua the United States. The questions causing these differences ere enumerated by Mr. Seward as follow:—The Alabama ciaims, the San Juan question, the q tion of naturalized citizens, their rights and posiuon, @nd the fishery question Mr. Seward suggested that the true methou of dealing with these matters ‘Was by treating them jointly, and endeavoring by means of @ conference to setiie them all. Sued was the first step in the nogotiations, and we over several that followed, merely remarking i Mir. Seward svon appears insisting that the question of naturalization shail be setued vefore any otner matter is taken in band, On March 31 Mr. Adams communicates to Lord Stanley a despaten from tie American Secretary of State to the eflect that the naturalization question caused great uneasi- Besss in America, and Was the most important one Mow pending. TIM that question in eottled, 1 i wlmoet hopeless to at- tempt to remove other causes of difference, It admit delay compatidly with Intenance of @ good unde: ween the two countrien, fing Lord Staniey is also informed “that Mr. Seward reserves Lis opinion on the mauner of proceeding tn regard to the Alabama question, as his decision with regard to that will be much fafuenced by the pro- ceedings in the naturaiization question.’ ‘This was high handed, but {t was successful, and & protocol was in due time signed on the subject of paturalization. The San Juan aitair was also dis- 1 of, nO doubt in a manner satisfactory to the not, we read me government, as the time passed for England to be very anxious about questions of boun- dary on the wostern coast of America. We proceed to the main question in dispute between the two veruments ~the liability of England for the depre- tions of the Alabama and other Confederate cruisers. Some mot have passed, and we are wan Ch rg A taterey ae day Lord bans wr . Keverdy Jobnvon had called on him the day before, and Mach conversation passed between us, in conrse which Mr. Reverdy Jclneon, auatn pit Terwnet te reel verted to in Mr. Seward's former despatches, vir, that. al claims on both sides should be reforred to ‘the decision o! unin who should be in br nut bers Britiah aub- Ageericny wilizene, who, If they digearent, shoud NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET . to call i bose decision with Se eee Sa on ov tn Siete It will thus be seen that the machinery which, With a trifing difference, was subsequently adopted, was, like aumost all the stipulations, of American origin, We must call particular attention to another passage of uns despavch. Lord Stanley writes:— In this conversation little was said as to the point on which the former negotiation broke off, viz., the claim made the United States government to raise before the arbiter the uestion of the alleged premature recognition by ber Majesty's government of the Confederates a4 beliigercata, I statea to. Mr. Reverdy Johnson that we could not on this Yoint depart irom the position we had taken up, ‘but J saw ho impowsbility:in so ing the reference as that by mn- tual consent, either tacit or exprens, the alificulty mizht be “avon . Here we have an unpleasant indication on the part of our chief negotiator of a readiness to assent to an ambiguous agreement for the purpose of making things run smoothiy; but it is evident from this con- versation, and from the sul gent convention, that the grievance of the neu + prociamation was not msisted upon at that time by the United States government. Indeed, as we shail see presently, it was only revived a few weeks ago by Mr. Reverdy Johnson as a last device for making his work pal- atable to tae Senate. Negotiations now went on rapidiy, and on November 10 a ‘convention for settlement of all ontstanding claims’? Was signed, the agreement which was to remove all causes of bitterness between the two countries being announced with much complacency vy Mr. Johnson atthe Lord Mayor's dinner. Up to this moment ter Majesty’s government had no doubt at all that Mr. Reverdy Johnson was fully authorized by his instruc- tions to aeree to te terms actually setiied. He was, of course, constantly corresponding with his govern- ment, both by letter and telegraph, and it might be assumed that he did not sigu a convention without the sanction of Sts terms at home. In fact, as Lord Staniev writes to Mr, Thornton, on the sth of De- cember:— Subsequent to the signatore of the convention T was in- formed by him that Mr. Seward bad stated in a telegraphic deapateh that ince of mecting of the commissioners was Washington, and not London, “all will be right.” ‘This point haying been conceded Her Majesty's government had every reason to suppose that the convention was in other re- specis accopted by the Cabinet of Wushington an it stood, with a falr hope that it would ultimately receive the sanction of the Senate of the United States. Yet this convention of November 10 was thrown over by the American government. Mr. Thornton writes’ on November 0 that Mr. Seward had in- formed him that the contents of the convention were not In accordance with the instructions given to Mr. Reverdy Johnson, that the President and_ his col- leagues could not approve certain of the stipulation, and that, in its present form, the convention would not reveive the sauction of the Senate, Mr. Seward (writes Mr. Thornton) procecded to assure me that bis government earnestly desired that a good work, which hi bronght #0 nearly to a satisfactory conclu sion should not at the last moment fail, and that conse- tly. though they acknowledged that your Lordship would he justiiied in declining to reopen nevoliations, they hoped thut, in consideration of the importance of the subject, you would not co s0, but would consent to nome inodification of the convention ' which would render it acceptable to the Senate. Yo this appeal the British Rorescinens, responded in the most joyal and honorable manner. The min- istry in England had been changed. and it became the duty of Lord Ciarendon to decide on the pro- prety of a new convention, The amendments de- manded by the United States were numerous and important, the omiasion of three articies relating to the arbliration on the Alabama claims, among other things, being required. On December 24 Lord Cla rendon wrote that the government were prepared to meet the wishes of the United States, and he sent a draugit convention, in which everything the Americans asked was substantially conceded. Finally the negotiation was completed on January !4, 1869, by the Pree oop the second convention, the in- strument whi been lately rejected by the American Senate, No impartial person who reads these papers will fail to perceive what we have aircady remarked, that the settiement which has been thus set aside is m ita details almost wholly of American origin. One of the most singular incidents is yetto be told. While the jndgment of the Senate was still un- pronounced, though hardiy doubtful—that is, as late as the 2d March last-—Mr. Reverdy Johnson called on Lord Clareadon to propose that another amend- ment should be made in the much amended conven- tion. ‘This was nothing less than that the two Pow- ers should submit to arbitration all claims of each government on the other, as well as the claims o1 individuals, ‘The intention, of conrse, was that the question of the higbility of England for the Queen's proclamation should be submitted among the others for the judgment of the tribunal, ir. Reverdy Jonnson’s language is singular:— My government beiieves, as I arn now advised, that it has a claim oF its own upon ber Majesty's government,becauseof the consequences resniting from a premature recognition of the Confederates during oir late war, and from the stung ont of the Alavama and other similar vessels 15 her Majesty's porte, aud from their permitted entrance into other ports to be re fitted and provisioned during their piratieai cruise. it is suMcient to add that this amendinent was courteously declined, and that any further sugges- tuons of the American Envoy were cut short by the rejection of the convention by the American Sénate ou April 13, alter it had been under consideration for no less a period than three months. Thus has ended this remarkable negouation, in which our government appears to have carried conciliation and forbearance to the utmost, oniy to meet with ever new and more exorbitant demands. The Tone of the English Press on the Aln- bama Claims and Mr. Motley’s Missio: ‘The London Post of me 2d Inst. gaya:— ‘The confidence we have expressed in Mr. Motiey’s fitness for the position he fills is encouraged by ihe two speeches he made last Monday in answer to ad- dresses presented to him upon his arrival at Liver- pool by the Liverpool and the American Chambers of Commerce, The tone of these speeches shows that Mr. Motley is aware of the extent of his powers, aud is not likely to exceed them; while their brevity 1s an Indication that he does not intend to tnduige in that mischievous garrulity which distinguished his predecessor. ‘These features make the speeches themselves all =the more important and worthy of attention, and bepress us to rely fully upon them, and to infer that Mr. Motley really comes here with a sincere parpose, to bring to an end the differences between us. He ‘assured the Chamber,”’ we are told, “that It was the earnest hope and wish oi the President and the people of the United States to cuitivate faithful and friendly relations between the two countries,’’ aud he repeated in his second speech the declaration of the desire for “sincere and amicable relations.” We accept the profession with pleasure and coutdence. We may appeal to the onduct as Well as the lananage of the English | SAR acreage) as a proof that they are not be- ndband in the desire for friendship, and if this spirit is but maintained on both sides there can be no reason why all the differences between the two nations should not Ye adjusted speedily and satisfac- torily. Mr. Samner’s speech was in effect an admis- sion, and Mr. Motiey must know, that the real cause o1 the rejec of English offers has been precisely @ want of friendly feeling. or rather the existence of an active feeling of enmity towards this eountry for old grievauces. We trust, however, that we may infer from Mr. Motiey’s Words that this eumity is now 80 far cooling down as to aliow of the formation of a good understanding upon secure foundations, for It is useless to ras ‘or it so long as one side ap- preaches the other with distrustful feelings and re- vengeiul purposes. The London Standard of the 3d speaks in the fol- jowing terms:— We have spoiled ove most promising negotiation because of our great eagerness Lo congratulate our- selves on its settiement. is there no danger of our making @ similar mistake with Mr. Motley? What seeurity have we that he will not be thrown over- board in his turn, just as his predecessor was, for using friendly language? What higher character has Mr. Motiey than Nr. Reverdy Johnson hadt Who Will even guarantee us against General Grant falling, #1x months hence, into as low a deptn of unpopularity as President Johnson did’ Considering how greatly the issues of war or peace may be aifected by our language towards the American ambassador, tt is only a matter of common prudence that we should restrain our feelings towards the person of Mr. Motley. With the utmost possible respect for him, and with the keenest sense of the mission with which he ts ch: it would be unbecoming in Us a8 a nation to lavish upon nim any of those extravagant atteations with which we overwhelmed his pr r. We may be glad to hear that Mr. Motley is of a pacific disposition; but we do not know that It is required of us to fall into an ecstasy because of that circumstance. The assurance of Mr. Motley’s friendship is very gratifying, and we trust we are able to recip. rocate his Kindly sentiments, But good opinion of the Aroerican ambassador, especially considering what a snifty aud uncertatu character that oftice con- Veys, is not @ matter of life and death to this coun- try. We do not go into raptures over the ambassa- dor from Prussia or the representative from France. We do not wait upon them for their favorable opin+ ions, or bless them for every kind expression. The jutereats of peace and of humanity, even more than considerations of national honor and dignity, should impel as to receive the representative of a country like the United States, wheu we understand him to be rei such, as we should receive the agent of any other and attention; but the We Bi tory, as though tis very coming were @ kind os #@ay- lug grace. £ = The Fatal Riot in Wales. Fight colliers were summarily convicted on Wed- nesday, the $d inst., at Mold, Flintshire, of assauit- ing Mr Join Young, the manager of Leeswood coi. liery. Two of them were committed to prison for a month, and on thetr removal to the railway station at seven P. M. they were guarded by a company of the Fourth King’s Own, uoder Captain Blake, and a body of police, under Mr. Brown, chief constable, The mob assembled Iu thousands and made an attempt to rescue the prisoners, Sioues were thrown in showers the miiitary and police, The telegraph office, in which the police and some of the soldiers took refuge in charge of the two prisoners, was broken to pieces and made a total Wreck. Scarcely a window of the train op the ratlWay was left whole; but tne prisoners were con- veyed into one of the carri in safety. The Riot act was read by Mr. ©. B. Trevor-Royer, and the military, afer showing great forbearance, com- menced firing. Two persons were shot dead and two died afterwards. One soldier was seriously hurt and casualties are numerous. At nine o'clock tue town was in @ state of great excitement, but 100 more soldiers were telegraphed for from Chester, FRANCE. The Farewell Banqnet to General Dix. On the Ist Met. @ complimentary banquet was otlered by the American resalents in Paris, at the Grand Hotel, to General Dix, the late Minister of the United States, a report of which was published In the HERALD of the 2d inst. The hotel was mag- nidcently decorated for the occasion and gaily orna- mented with American and French flags entwined. About 400 guests were present and the company took their seats to the inspiring tune of ‘Hail Colombia.” After an opening speech from the president, General Dix rose, under thundering ap- plause, and made a speech, m which he alluded to the various ruling topics of interest—the opening of the Pacific Railroad, the political state of France—and, in reference to matters at home, made ‘use of the following words:— It is now nearly one hundred years since the people of the United States declared themselves free and in- dependent. Jn thus assuming their sovereignty they placed it on the right of self-government and the fundamental principle of personal freedom, Bu aitoough this principle was eeareieey DROOL ALA by our Deciaration of Independence, 1t/has just now been fully carried out in practice, and only after one of the most desperate domestic conflicts that the world has ever witnessed. ‘here is no- thing, ‘haps, more Foy 9 mm the his- tory of communities than the sudden de- velopment of unexpected results from causes which have been so long in operation that we have become almost unconscious of their influence. Such is the case with us. The eivil war through which we have just passed had its origin to @ great extent in a desire to proiect the established system of do- mestic servitude, and to give it strength and dura- bility, no doubt from a sincere belief on the part of those among whom if existed that it was essential to their prosperity, The result was its utter extinc- tion. As’ has been eloguentiy said by an eminent writer and statesman of France, who 1s now enjoying # tranquil and an honorable old age—I mean M. Guizot: “Providence is never in haste. it moves through time as the gods of Homer moved through 8} It takes a step, and years have rolled away. Such 13 the spirit of the Popular movement across the Continent of North America. Nearly all the great migrations which history has recorded, from the Chrisia”: Gra to the resent time, consist of the exodus of barbarous na ions from the inhospitable regions in which they were bred, transferring themselves to more genial latitudes and gaining possession by brute force of "the treasures of civilization; or of fiery incursions, the offspring of religious frenzy, seeking to propagate creeds of faith by fire and sword. Ours is the majestic, but calm and biood- less, march of the hosts of civilization, in the ranks of which every nation in Christendom has Its repre- tatives, going forth to subdne a wilderness, and to extract from its Woods, its soils and its caverns, by the patient hand of industry, the treasures whieh Nature bas been accumulating from the beginning of time. In regard to the relations of the great States of the Eastern hemisphere to each other, we may be said to have been in the past, as J trust we may be in the future, an unarmed neutrality, standing aloot from their rivalries and their conflicts, asserting within our own limits without any of the msignia of milil force or preparation, but maintaining throngh the more powerful agencies of opinion the ue which we believe to be best caicuiated secure our own happiness and prosperity, and to promote the welfare of the human race. (appiause.) In the spirit of peace, and not of war—o! improve- meat, aad not of devastation—of fraternity, and not of uggression. MR. BURLINGAME’S SPEECT. In response toa toast, drank in his honor, Mr. Burlingame said ;— Mr. PREsIDENT—I thank you foy the kind manner in which you have seen fit to speak of me. 1 thank this company also for its manifestation of good will. Jv18 @ sausiaction to be recognized as one who loves his country and his fellow men; but | am not here to respond to personal allusions, however gratetul i may feel for them. {[ am here to pay homage to that illustrions citizen whose great ualiues you have so well described. (Applause.) am here to forget in the ardor of iricudship the langnuge of diplomacy to bid him God- speed to the home that he has honored and the Jand that toves him well. As f listencd to his modest and tasteful speech describing the pro- gress of the institutions of our country, I felt that the best .Wliustration of them was the speaker him- self, Bora on the coldest hills of New England, with no advantages not open alike to al!, he has filled nearly every tt of trust and honor his country could confer; he has in his own person shed a new Instre upon civil, military and diplomatic life. The simple statement of these facis is the best tribute to his country and to himself; for it shows the power of the one to develop the en- ergy of the other. But for such men as he is, the lures of the beautiful valieye which he nas so charm- ingly Mentioned would have Jain in sileuce for ever. But for that antecedent persona! liberty of which he has spoken, such mien as he could not have exisied; and persunal liberty itself would not have been es- tablished but for the great thougats and fearless efforts of the men who first stood on the shores of the Wesiern Continent. To understand the amazing energy of the American people, we must remember not only these men but we must recall tie character of the emigrants who have passed from the Oid to the New Word. They have been the most daring children of Burcpe. We must remember that it required more courage, until recently, to cross the Atlantic than to figbt a battle, So it was the bravest son and the most fearless daughter who would face the perils of the deep and the dangers beyond. {t required great courage to go and more to remain, for it was not a festive land to which taey went, but to ove of toil aud danger, Nature had to pe subdued and baroarism and their own prejudices. from the tine of the pilgrims to this hour that heroic people have ieft the wupress of their mighty evergies upon the physical and mora! world. ‘There is no danger that they have not dared, there is no question wiuch they have not discussed and settled, and m such & way as to broaden and deepen the foundations of freedom. When it was sought to build 4 govern- ment upongthe prejudices of religion they would not have it, When it was sought to tax them without representation they fought for seven. years all over @ continent and established their inde- pendence, When it was sought to introduce as @ permanent element into our government the wild phantasy that there can be property in man, they rose and entered upon a struggie which cost the lives of five hundred thousand men, the dear. est souls that ever entered the gates of paradise. Because of this your guest was able to make tie proud boast that now no servile foot presses the soil of biscountry. But the war is over now. What was fought for is gone forever, Let the sunshine of @ thousand peaceful summers settie upon the com- mon graves of our gallant countrymen. We are brothers now, We have had agreat fight. Let us have a great fraternization. Let us join hands and hearts, and, railying around the symbols of our an cient faith and common giory, press on with irresist- ible strength to the swift coming future. Let us re- joice together that the great fabric of our govern- ment rests not upon a single prejudice, whether of religion or race or color, but upon @ great principle Which gives equal and exact justice to all. Because our guest knows the history or our country; because he knows the character of its people; because the great spirit of the fathers is upon lum and the flery energy of their children is in heart, could, look- ing back upon the past, upon his own experience, covering haif @ century, ia;which he has utken part in the discussion and settlement of the greatest ques. tions that ever engaged the attention of mortal he could, say, looking ¢o such a past and turning to the future, lift up,his voice ike a prophet whose 1 every American heart. Because of this he could define the laws of progress for his country and state with precision the conditions” on which it must be made, Let us hope with him that its great march wowards the achievement of the mission he has mentioned may be peaceful, that it will not enter upon any armed propagandiem oi its views. Let us join him in tho aspiration that by the pod of its actions it will autract otler peoples and other lands to its peaceful sway. Let us join him in the desire that our country shall not mterfere in the aftairs of others, for it is the sacred right of every people to unfoid itself in precisely ihat form of civilization of which it is most capable. itis their Tight to have the jurisdiction of their own atfairs, and for those who think alike and speak alike to act together for their ennghtened interest and in the development of true nationalism, But, while we do not inverfere with other people’s affairs nor permit them to interfere in ours, we cannot forget that we are @ great nation, that we cannot aliticate our responsibilities, that we must take our part in the peaceful police of the sea and the land, and in the estaplishinent and maintenance of those princi- pies of international law which recognize the equality of nations as we recognize the equality of men. (Applause.) That as it is the highest duiy of every society to protect the weak from the strong, so the Weak nations and straggling peoples should tind aimpte protection in that sense ‘of justice on the part of the strong nations which they cannot lose and prosper. And now, joining our disunguisied friend tm his tribute to tie Frenca nation and the rulers whom they have chosen, Joining him especially in his surpassingly beautiful tribute to the Empress, let us wih full hearts bid him farewell, and hope for him every joy that may come tothe lot of mortars, ‘rhe speech of Mr. Buriingame was followed by beri from Mr. Washburne, ex-Senator Huliock and others.

Havana, June 4, 1869, Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, Duice, driven from power by the citizen soldiery, has sailed away to the mother country, and bis suc- cessor, only tolerated that a semblance of loyalty might be.maintained, has quietly entered upon the discharge of his duties, we are enabled to jook over the field, come toa conctusion as to the causes of this most strange revolution, and speculate with some degree of knowledge as to the nitimate result. To people Whose education and traditions are all based on monarchical institutions the principle of legitimacy, Or what is the same in their vocabulary, legality, is essential to the preservation of peace and good order. Once cut them loose from this and chaos has come again, for, unlike the republicans, as they reeognize no foundation of authority in themselves, 80 they are incapable of yiclding to the abswact idea separate from manifestations of physi- cal force., This theony has had its demonstration here within the past few months, The Spaniards of this island, with rare exceptions, of humble origin and without education, have ever been abject slaves to the authority in the person of royalty or it representative. Before the insignia of rank, civil or military, they have evér bowed with a lowh- hess of spirit which left little of humility for a higher power. To control them no arms have been necessary, but only the brass button of the officer or the lance and dark lantern of the policeman, An immediate change followed on the dethronement of Isabella, The pedestal set np within their hearts, firm (save a few slight shocks) for centuries, nad been overthrown, and, the worse for previous re- straint, they became riotous, turbulent, dangerous. Lersuni, ignorant of the ultimate effect of his course, or, if not, certainly with no great love for the revolution, formed them into a military organ- ization, placed arms in their hands, and soon im every respect, save obedicnce to discipline, they became very tolerable soldiers. They soon became aware of their power and Lersundi, though he flattered, cajoled and was popular with them, learned to distrust them and left ihe island, uncer- tain as to the result of his action in thus placing all power in the hands of people unaccustomed to self- control and incapable of juaging between liberty and license. They received Dulce kindly enough, insomuch as he represented the power which had made them free; but they distrusted him concerping matters In the island, knowing his previous popu- larity with the Cubans, From the first he really ruled by the tenor of their will, and wherein he went coun- ter thereto, he only succeeded by persuasion and entreaty. The great importance to them of suppres- sing the insurrection, as their property inierest was all involved, kept them for the most part quiet and obedient enough and, as they for months readily accepted and beileved ail the stories of government successes, matters went on im the main quietly enough, with an occasional demonstration 1n test of their power. Whue these false sivries, soothing enough at the time, were grmaing out their inevit- able meed of discord, another element of trouble was making itselfielt. for years the resiceats of this Island, Spaniards and Cubansalike, nad groaued bencath the load of contributions new ry 10 re- picuish the ever exhausted treasury of Spain and keep alive the army of needy ofice-holders, wir like the locusts of Kgypt, eat out the substance of land. With Dulce, as with otucr representative: new administration, came a new army ol employcs, destined to reot ont the old and ine more hungry from long fasting. This wes not regarded as @ Bign Of regeneration, and the complaimts were loud and deep. Jt bad been supposed (nas the num- ber of officials Would at once be materially de creased, thereby relieving the tax-crusued people of a portion of their burden, but there was uot even the most remote sign of this. The uew arrivals en- tered upon the discharge of their duties, and, un- certam as to the continuance of the government uader which they served, set avout making hay while the sug sbone with remarkabie energy. The old employes, ThrOWD Out Of position by an author fly tey woud have been giad to serve, bat, failing tilis, couid not recognize, were naturally inimical to ch, th tue new rege. They became meimver of tie. volunteer organizations and, mumately @cquainted with wii tne springs in the posi- Uoly they had ogeupred, were enabicd to expose the Veuauty Of weir successors In the most glariag lght. ‘They were bot siow to do this and thereoy excited the intensest indigpation of their companions m arms, Who had litte idea of the extent ol officiat corrupuon bere. The organ of tlese disusfectauts Was the Vou de Cuba, @ journal edited by dispiaced employes, and, While pretending to support te revo- jution, was very nostiie to the adintuiscration here. It becaine very soon extremely popular wiih the vot- unceers, pandering to their passions and - prejudices and commeuding und supporting them, what. ever tae cuurse, they might see tit to pursue, It lost ho Opportunity to excite hostility to Dulce, and though hampered by the censorship of the press, managed lo Make attacks Upon Nim as constant as insidious. Meanwhile, the truth as to matters in the interior began to leak out. It was seen that nothing Was accomplisned; that the command- ersarthe Various points, msiead of pursuing the campaign with energy, Were more interested in accumulating money or worsuipping at the shine of Terpsichore and Venus. Astounding stories of venality were everywhere told aud believed, and the volunteers throughout ihe isiand, shopkeepers, ali, begun to fear lor their wares and became demon- strative and threatening. Duice, finaly realizing the injury being done himseli and his admunistra- tion by the Voz de Cuba, determined upon the bold expedient of suppressing it and sending its peopie from the islaud. “1 will let them know whether the Captain Generali has any authority left,” he said. The arrest of the proprietor was ordered, but he evaded it by concealing hunself, Of course the Clief of Polce knew well enough where he was, but would not interfere with him. A commission from the company aud battalion to which he and the ewitors belonged waited on Dulce and defiantly de- manded that the order should be rescinded, stating thal, If necessary, they wou'ld resist its execution by force. He heid out for some me, but finally yielded, and in so domg surrendered up the last faint spark of power he held, His downsali daied from tat moment, and the arrival of Pelaez, with the demon- strations foliow! but accelerated his surrender a few hours. This feeling of antagonism to Dulce aud the working out of its results was uot confined to the volunteers of Havana. It had its rawificacuons through ali the principal jurisdictions of the isiand, and the fall of the Captain General was quick'y tol- lowed by the displacement of his governors mm Ma- tanzas, Clenfuegos, Trinidad and other places. As yet (he detalis of these are few, and owing to the care manifested by the authorities some ume will doubuess ciapse before they wil be Known. ‘The entire success of their revolutionary enterprise caused a reaction among the volunteers here, and with onsciousness Of What they Had doue some of them ood almost appaiied. In the first fush of victory a meeting Was determined upon, to take place upon Sunday (last), to deterinine upon the course to be vur- sued, to consider the reception of Rodas and ower matters. Reflection seems to have brought some troublesome qualms. A telegram from Minister Roberts at Washington, intimating that as between two sets of revolutionisis in this isiand the sympa- thies of the government to which he was accredied were With the Cubans, and that the Spaniards were . deepened their reflection, mg aside their assumptions, they ail at once became docile as lambs and entirely obedient to auhority. A telegram from Madrid, addressed to the Segunda Cabo imstead of the Cap. tain General ad éutertm, showed them that their ac tion Was condemned at home, Nor did the report of the excitement consequent on an annoucement of their action in the Cortes tend to allay their fears, ‘The meeting was a failure aud adjourned without action. As the result it is certaiu that no further demonstations will precede the arrival of Caballero de Rodas and his 2,000 men. He wil enter upon the discharge of lis office without any interierence, What farther will happen can only be conjectured. Dulce has great infiuence at home; as m one, if not more. He contributed to the suc revolution, he 18 not a man to forget, and though tn ihe present unsettied state of this isiand a thousand contingencies may arise, giving unexpected pare to events, yet, as certain as opportunity affords, the proud ol patrician soldier will have a fearful reckoning With the leaders of the shop keepers, who drove him from a seat entrusted to him by the na- tion General Espinar, in aMxing his signature to om. cial documents niade public, gives himself no onictal designation, evidently not satisfied with the authority which made him Captain General. He lias recently published an order deciaring that in consideration of the services of those who have beionged either to the army, Volunteers or militia, and defended with arms the integrity of tue national territory, and be- come disabled thereby, shall have the preference m appointments to vacancies m the branches of gov- ernment, finance and pubiic works, This has caused Much satisfaction among all classes of Spaniards, | and the press gives it a very enthasiastic endurse- ment, As stated, the telegram announcing the excite- ment in the Cortes upon the news of the excesse here caused much agitation, La Vor de Cuba, evie dently quite uncertain of the future, endeavors to smooth over the matier in the following manner:— “It Was very natural that the news of General Duice’s deliveriug up of tae command, given in @ telegram, should have caused a profound seusation in the Cortes, and we can well understand that (he | chiel of the executive power would move 4 suspen- sion of public opmion antil the details were reccive® ‘The circumstance which took place in Havana was new «i unparalicied in te records of Cuba.

Lf the fact caused s0 great commotion jin the Peninsula, the astonisament of our brethren beyond the seas will surely be greater when they learn that a few hours after realizing a measure of 0 wanscendant importance the enure population of Havana gave itself up to rejoicing, occasioned by the arrival of the juejvolunteers.’” As Duice will humseif carry a report of the action of those “pacitic commissioners” and the “raoral force” used, 1t is barely possible “our brethren ve- ion the seas’? will look upon them tn a diferent ught. ‘The Diario de la Marina bas an official telegram stating that Caballero de Rodas was to embark wt once for Cuba with 2,000 troops. The press speaks in terms of approval of this prompt action, “The National Conservative Comittee” of Ma- tanzas bas issued a circular, dated the Sth, waich, referring Lo the lave removal of the Governor, 88¥8:— “There is ho dusguising the fact that the situation 1s serious and difficult; but tt is not desperate, nor 1s it beyond saving if al! good patriots unite as one, sub- mitUng their passions belore the authority which Wieids the destiny of the island, and joyally aid ite delegates in entoreing the laws.

ARROYO, May 28, 1869. Matters in this island are by no means better than they were during the unfortunate Lares revolu- on, Both Spaniards and natives hate each other heartily. The former, confident in the govern- ment’s prorection, msult the latter and harass them in every possible way. The natives, on their side, suffer in siience their many wrongs, and se- cretly prepare to avenge them. The hatred is so intense on either side that if a sudden msarrection broke out it would be the most sanguimary and de- structive one in history's records. ' The Captain General has at last issued a decree naming the last two days of May and the first two of June for the elections. The natives, disgusted with the difference existing between their electoral” rights and those of the Spaniards, and convinced besides of the fntilty of sending their representa- tives to Spain, the Constituent Cories’ task bemg over, have received the General's decree with the greatest coidness, All the natives are determined Upon abstaining trom voting, unwilling to sanction such injustice with their intervention. ‘The Span- jards are jubilant with this, foreseeing the triumph of their candidates, General Sanz las sent a circular to every corregi- dor in tne tsiand ordering them on the slightest symptoms of revolt to be merciless, and to shoot and Stroy ail those who should be found in the streets, without any ard to age, condition or sex. This brutal order has produced the greatest indignation through the whoie island. Even the most’ pacitic Men manifest their disgust openly. The volupieers are an object of contempt and hatred to the natives, who say they are a set of cowards and butchers, They are hissed and insulted every day by che ravbie, WHO go 50 far as to throw stones at them. The volunteers have now been authorized to ish their oifenders In the future as they may think proper. This imprudent measure will give rise some day or o.ler to @ faial collision, when much plood will be spilt. With these and other similar blunders peace runs a great risk of bvetng broken. (eneral Sanz seems bent on exasper- ating the Porto Ricans. The governneut o}serves the closest vigiiance over al! leiters and newspapers coming from abroad, particularly over those proceeding from vhe United States, As -oon ws a slip arrives in one of these Ports it is minutely searched by an oficial, apd all printed or written papers found on board are im- mediately taken to the Post Oilice, where they are examined, and those containing any iuformation on Cuban affairs are put aside and never delivered to their owners. Sympathy towards the United States has always been very Wari among the Porto xicaus, Who, in general, desire anuexation; but this feeling begins somewhat to subside, owmg to the present adminis tration’a conduct towards Cuba. ‘the dominant idea is that the United states, having been the apos- tles of Hoerty in America, are bound to give not only moral but material aid to the Cubans. ‘Their disap. pointment has beeu very great at tuis unexpected coldness of the American government, wiiie Mexico, Peru and Chile have recognized the belligerent mghts of the Cuban insurgents.
