ly protest against every newspaper assuming to itself all possible human industries in addi- tion toits own!’’ In response, we have only serlously to say that speculations upon the journal of the future are very unprofitable in a paper which has not made up its mind to live vigorously up to the journal of the present. ‘With every successive step in progress the journal that would prosper must “live the pace.” The annihilation of distance by steam and electricity is only its stepping stone to further advancement. There is scarcely a dis- covery, scientific or mechanical, by land or sea, terrestrial or astronomical, which is not in the legitimate field where journalism must labor. By all the triumphs of civilization within the past cycle journalism has been directly benefited, not only in the mere matter of collecting information with certainty and rapidity, but in attaining a leadership of thought, which hag eclipsed the expectations of its most sanguine prophets of half a century ago. Yet there is a space for usefulness be- yond, which the Hrnaxp is proud to have first exploited—the field of action. The expedition ‘to search in the heart of Africa for a hero of ‘the peaceful way illustrates this, and its signal triumph—the great worldly test—places it ‘beyond all contravention. It is not worth ‘while discussing now what are the bounds of this field. It would serve no useful purpose, and the Herap cannot waste time or space on the unserviceable. Our business is with the living present; the speculation we leave to the idle probability-man of journals who cannot “live the pace,’ assured that they will always be where they are, among the “ruck."’ In the meanwhile the brilliant achievement, which will give lustre to the name of American fournslistic enterprise, is before a world not plow to judge of merit and activity. There we can leave it. The great explorer, Livingstone, -we trust, is on his way to civilization, guarded by the Henaxp expedition under the command of the brave gentleman who bears our flag. Their anited stories will make a glittering chapter of ‘life, when told, which will reward the public and ourselves for our common anxiety. It only remains to say that wherever an opportu- nity is offered for honorable work of the kind the Heraxp will be found among its pioneers. The War in Mexico. The news furnished by the Henan special despatches, which we publish in another column, indicates that the revolt against Juarez is gradually losing its importance. In so faras it aimed to overthrow the present government it has proved a failure, in spite of the prominence and influence of the leaders who inaugurated it. The Mexi- can people are thoroughly tired of the struggles of selfish chiefs _for the possession of power, and their attitude in the present insurrection proves that they are fully sensible of the advantages of a strong and solid government, whatever its defects. The army also has displayed a discipline and | loyalty to the government which is only too rare in the Mexican revolutions ; but unfor- | y the unqniet element that has been | the constantly ng civil wars 2s abundant reeruits to ambitious leaders. However, the energy displayed by | the governmental generals gives reason to hope that the partisans of Diaz and 'Trevifio | will be completely crushed, and peace tempo- rarily restored to unhappy Mexico. The attempt to capture Matamoros was a bold stroke, which, had it succeeded, would have enabled the revolutionists to carry on the war vigorously, by enabling them to replen- ish their exhausted exchequer and obtain sup- plies of arms and ammunition. Their hasty retreat from before the town cannot fail to have a demoralizing effect on their troops. The resolution of General Cevallos to follow up his advantage will probably force ‘Trevifio’s army to disband or expose itself to annihilation. If the report of the occupation of Monterey by the government forces be true the position of “Treviiio is truly critical, as he cannot possibly find subsistence for a considerable body of troops in the barren region lying between the Monterey and the Rio Grande. We hope the Mexican commander will press his advantage and act with vigor and severity. Itis time that both the Mexican leaders and their law- less followers should be taught that the penalty of revolt is death. There aro instances where mercy is a false hu- manity, tending to encourage the restless and ambitious in their efforts to subvert estab- lished government. Were Mexican rebels fully impressed with the fact that the death | penalty would be rigorously carried out in all | recurr cases of unsuccessful armed insurrec- tion we would be less troubled by the ever-recurring pronunciamentos of our quarrelsome neighbors. In order to avoid destruction by the sword or by famine Trevifio’s troops will be obliged to divide into small bands and carry ona guerilla warfare, and the danger to our citizens along the bor- der will be greatly increased. The duty of the ‘War Department under these circumstances is _Clear. Sufficient troops should be placed along | the border to protect our territory from invasion and to inflict summary punishment on marauders. Apparent ConLarse oF THE CaRLIst InsvR- RECTION. —All the indications of the moment, so far as we know them, encourage the belief that the Carlist attempt to revolutionize Spain has resulted in utter failure. The priests, as was to be expected, did their best to invest the Uprising with a religious character ; but, pow- “erful as are the clergy in Spain, they have not been able to make capital out of Don Carlos. Rada, the Carlist leader, has, it is said, with his command fled into France. With the flight of Rada it is reasonable to conclude that the back bone of the insurrection is broken. Another Carlist rising is little likely to disturb the peace of Amadeus. Personal Intelligence. Charles E. K. Kortright, British Consul at Phila- delphia, is at the Brevoort House.

THE SIEGE OF MATAMOROS RAISED. Trevino’s Army in Full Retreat. Pursuit by the Covernment Forces. A BATTLE Recapture of the City of Monterey by the Government Forces. IMMINENT. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following despatches have been received from the special correspondent of the HzkaLp at Matamoros :— Marasonros, Via Brownsvitie, May 3, 1872. The revolutionary General Treveiio has raised the siege and is in full retreat. The timely arrival of reinforcements for the garri- son had a most discouraging effect on the rebel forces. All hope of carrying the city by a coup de main being frustrated by the energetic action of General Cevallos and the patriotic enthusiasm of the national forces, dissensions broke out among the leaders, which rendered further concerted action impossible. General Treviiio resolved to withdraw his forces wiihout hazarding an attack. Accord- ing to the latest account he is slowly retiring Under these circumstances in the direction of Camargo, from which point he can observe the city. General Cevallos, with a view to @isquieting Trevino’s retreat, has despatched a considera- ble force to watch the movements of the revo- lutionists. The Juarist commander has orders to attack if a favorable opportunity presents itself. The notified the refugees at Brownsville of the withdrawal of Mexican authorities the revolutionists from before Matamoros. All danger of attack being at an end, the inhabitants who sought refuge in Brownsville can return and resume their occupations. Many are already returning to their homes. Travellers just arrived from Monterey re- port that there are no considerable forces any- where on the road. Latest reports state that a battle between the retreating revolutionists and the pursuing forces is imminent. Martamonas, May 3, 1872. Later information has just been received by the Mexican authorities of the recapture of the important city of Monterey, by Gauchez Ochoa, at the head of 500 cavelry—the ad- vance guard of the government army, Some doubts are felt as to the truth of the report. A forward movement is announced by Gen- eral Cevallos. He will leave with all his dis- posable forces to-morrow, and will direct hi march on Monterey. oo Defeat of the Revolutionists in Nuevo Leon—Trevino’s Movements—Arrest of the Mexican General Falcon in Texa Matamoros, Ma The revolutionary army changed its base last night, having abandoned its camp on the river, six miles above, and swung around into the San Fer- nando road, behind and about fifteen miles distant from this city. It is supposed that this movement has been made to head oif General Cevallos with a government force, who is said to be approaching from that direction. The country now occupied by the revolutionists affords the chief source of supplies heretofore reaching this city from the Mexican side, and is the richest part of the State of Tamaulipas in cattie and horses, of which the revo- lutionists are said to be greatly in need. From their present position they could advance toward Victoria, the capital of the ate of ‘Tampico, and at the same time | keep upa practical siege of this city and cut off com- munication with the interior at any moment. The object of General Trevifio in changing his base is purely conjectural, but it does not indicate an im- mediate attack on the city. General Caballos received scouts to-day inform- ing him that General Ochas had entered Monterey with 600 government cavalry and holds the place. Trevifio’s revolutionary army is known to be in full retreat towards Camargo, having passed Reynosa this morning, sixty miles above. This back- ward movement is doubtless owing to the occupation of Monterey by the government forces. Colonel Valedez, with seven hun- dred men, had defeated the revolutionary general Falcon, in the State of Nuevo Leon, on the 27th ult., with considerable loss on both sides. Valedez having been severely wounded, went to Laredo, Texas, where he was arrested for having previously violated the neutrality laws in organizing his expedition near that place some weeks since. He will be sent to San Antonio for trial. Generals Caballos, Trevallo and Paliccio, with the entire force, are leaving in pur- suit of Treviiio’s retreating army. The city will be left under the protection of the National Guard under General Ayalla. CUBA. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, May 3, 1872. The debate in the House of Commons last night on the bill to repeal the Unlawful Assemblies Act was protracted toa late hour and was a very ex- citing one, The motion was for the second reading of the bill, Several Irish members took occasion to make speeches in defence of “hom rule."c What they wanted was to have the laws of Ireland assimilated with those of England. The Marquis of Hartington, Secretary for Ire- land, opposed and denounced “home rule’ as synonymous with Fenianism. He explained the present law, showing that it in effect prohibited the assembling of an Irish Parliament. Mr. Isaac Butt, member for Limerick, declared himself a “home ruler; but indignantly denied that he was a Fenian, as intimated by the Marquis of Hartington, of whom he demanded a retraction. He protested against such expressions coming from ‘a Minister, who received his information of the country he sought to rule over through detectives and spies, the real ruling powers in Ireland, If it was true that Home Rulers were Fenians, tt spoke well for home rule, which had been able to win back to peace men driven into rebellion by shame- less legislation, Until [rtshmen obtain the right to manage Irish affairs in an Irish Parlia- ment, peace, content and prosperity were impossible. He warned the Commons that if the act was not repealed, Ire- land would endanger the safety of the empire. He wanted for Ireland a local government like that ofan American State, and for the hingdom a na- tional Legislature similar to the American Con- gress. Mr. Gladstone said the latter scheme was im- practicable. Even American statesmen were di- vided in opinion as to its wisdom, The recent civil war in the United States grew out of the collisions the system involved.

At the Cabinet meeting to-day the most impor- tant action which has yet been taken in regard to our difficulties with England touching the arb+ tration at Geneva was decided on. A reply has been received from the English government in reference to the negative principle of international law which Mr, Fish had brought himself to be will- ing to accept as the condition of our retreat. The answer is so exceedingly unsatisfactory to this government that it is probable there will be no backdown after all, and the position by the President in the beginning—namely, that tho question of consequential damages is one for the Geneva Tribunal to settle—will be insisted assumed upon. The administration 1s frightened at the attitude of the people on the intended accommodation, and, now that Great Britain has virtually rejected our overtures, will not retreat further. The best evi- dence that the new, or, rather, the old, policy will be adhered to is the fact that the President no longer the judgment of Mr. Fish, but has determined to consult with the of the Foreign Aifairs committees of Con- gress before announcing definitely or pursuing any of policy. of gentlemen composing these committees have been invit relies on mem- bers the line Some meet at the State Department at ten o’clock to- morrow, to consider the situation and advise with the government in the proper course to be pursued. The reply received to-day was in answer to Fish’s yeneral Schenck of las despatch to saturday, upon which such strong hopes of an amicable settlement In this answer the American Mins were founded, ister informs the State Department that Eng- land has agreed to accept the intimation of this government that a proposition from her would be accepted on the basis so often indicated in these despatches, tion, it will be remembered, was that we were This intima- wil- ling to withdraw our demand for compensation for consequential damages on the ground, if Great Britain would agree in ail cases for the future where we might be the aggressors, to make no complaints or claims against the United States for any indirect, remote or consequential injuries or losses resulting from a failure to observe our neu- tral duties, The United States, by accepting the suggestion, would gain an important concession. ‘This point, it was believed, had been gained on the receipt of the answer from General Schenck. Fol- lowing it came the text of the English proposition, but the latter turns out to be of such a character that, in its present shape, it cannot be accepted, It turns out also that England does not under- stand our position, but assumes that it was a clear and complete withdrawal of our pretensions and the virtual abandonment of the position we as- sumed, without any guarantee that we were to receive anything in return for such ignominious action on our part. The result is the course —_—ttaken by thé Cabinet to-day. It has been decided, in view of the present situation of the question, to submit the whole correspondence to the members of the House Committee on Foreign inmittee on Foreign Rela- tions, for their opinion and guidance. General Banks, in the interview he had with Mr. Fish, at the instance of the House of Representa tives, was misled in regard to the intentions a purposes of the Department, and as he and the others, who are now invited to the Department, were entirely averse to concession or retreat, there can be little doubt as to the advice which the ad- ministration will receive from them.

He favored the — equalization of taxation between manufactured articles and the raw material, and recited a schedule of prices giving the relative wages paid in England and this country for labor, both skilled and ua- skilled, After the close of Mr. Dawes’ speech the commit. tee rose, and Mr, Garileld presented the report of the conference committee on the Legislative Ap- propriation bil.
