koetz,April 17.—0 n Sunday aterning,the 11th,
I arose at ii o'clock, and with some friends
crossed the Tiber In the ferry boat, and took a
charming walk to St. Peter's by the riper road.
The hedge on the right bad the tender green hue
of spring leafage, the sky was soft and blue, the
sir fresh and invigorating, and the birds sang
merrily. But although we reached pt. Peter's so
early, we found the church Otto full, and the
crowd : neer the altar was very dense. St. Peter'a
statute was rebid and mitred, and Genoa, cele
brated fot her . eamelias, bad sent two huge de
enter plateaus of these flowers, which were hang
on either shie of the statue.
The music of the mass was very impressive',
first pan by Baini, a motet by Palestritia, and a
third part composed for the occasion by Mustafa ,
the leader of the Pope's choir. The Pope intoned
the Te Ileum, and the effect was superb when
the united voices of the choir and part of the con
gregation rolled upward around the huge dome
and through the long aisles of that large Basilica.
The Papal Benediction followed.
The Pope intended to give communion only to
some orphans of the Hospital of Tata Giovanni,
at the church of which, St. Anne's, he had cele
brated his first mass,tifty years before,and to a few
other persons who bad solicited the honor; bill
the crowd pressed in, and the Holy Father dis
tributed it to every one that epprosehed.
After mass the Chapter of St. Peter's gave the
Pope a breakfast in the hail of the Sacristy. The
guests invited were the Court Cardinals and some
other prelates, ambassadors, superior officers o:
the army, the Roman Municipality, and some o;
the royalties now visiting Rome. The tablet
were arranged in separate order. At the Pope's
table were the King and Queen of Naples.*Duke
and Duchess of Parma, Count and Countess of
Trapani. and Count and Countess of Caserta
According to the etiquette observed when any
one is seated at table with his Holiness, the
chair of the Holy Father was elevated a half a
foot above those of the others. The Pope chatted
very freely during breakfast, especially with the
King of Naples, and seemed in excellent spirits
' He is in capital health. As he was born at Sini
gaglia, May 13, 1792, be is 77 years of age nearly
but is a hale, hearty man, likely to live ten years
longer.
In the afternoon seven nillitafy bands, with
large chorus of singers, executed together or
the steps of St. Peter's a hymn composed te
Gounqd for the occasion. The piazza we..
crowded si at Easter, and when the third verse
of the hymn was sung,the Pope came out on one
of the balconies and gave the benediction to the
vast crowd beneath. Ttlei music was very &Imp',
and melodious, and produced a fine effect whet
levees sung fortissimo during the blessing. Oc
Monday there was a review of the Papal troop
in the Villa Borghece, and this hymn of Gouno.
was again sung.
The Pepsi presents have been of varied kinds
some very simple. A friend of ours was presere
when the shepherds of Bracciano brought it.
their eramble gifts, which consisted of a heifer, a
sheep, seine young lambs., and a Inn of wine
The shepherds were dressed in their national cos
tume, jackets of white sheepskin; these honest
persons displayed so much simple, innocent ten
dernees,setch childlike reverence for His Holiness,
that every one present was touched, and the good
old Pope was forced to retreat to his apartment.
to hide his emotions.
The gifts of the Jews excited some attention
they consist of pieces of cloth. Some of the
ordinary presents, such as wheat and corn, oil
and wine, cattle, eac., have been exhibited in
the ground loggia of the court of St. Damming
at the Vatican, and reminded me of some of cra
agricultural fairs at home. One of the prettiest
things I observed was a large car filled with the
famous roses of Lubiaco, sent from that place to
the Pope. At all the different parishes bread
and meat have been distributed to the poor, three
pounds of the best and whitest bread to each
person and meat a direrition. The gifts of meal
oil, wine and cattle, also, are to be distributed to
the poor of the city.
The gifts from various sovereigns are also to le
displayed to the public. To-day the exhibition
began at the Vatican, in the new loggia running
around the Pope's apartments. I went up with
some friends, and we found ourselves jammed in
the most frightful crowd on the staircases leading
to the Raphael Loggia. Only a few persons, say
fifty, were admitted at a time, and the impatience
and indignation of the crowd was very great. At
last we gained entrance, after working our way
up the stairs, and found only a small part of the
nomerotis costly gifts. Conrad's beautiful pic
ture of the Cologne Cathedral was there, and a
Holy Family by Malinski, which, although
a modern painting, is as simple and
sincere as if painted by a Pre-Raphaelite. At the
head of the loggia were the main attractions to
the visitors--some of the jewels, rich vestments.
and other articles of value. The attendants were
extremely nnamlable, and would .hardly give us
time to take a look. To be sure a large.impatient
crowd was waiting, and these men were doubt
less temper-tried. In all such exhibitions a deal
of injustice must be shown necesearlly,for it is im
possible for the inferiors who are placed in com
mand for the time—the Jacks in office—to distin
guish between the visitor who goes from mo.
thee of mere idle curiosity and the one who
wishes to use what he or she Bees.
I noticed in my baitflook three superb chains
and largo Latin crosses. Ono, cross had large
pearls set in diamonds, and a fine-sized ruby in
the centre; this was sent by the Hungarians.
A second was blue enameled, with six large car
buncles set in diamonds; and a third, the finest
of threeehree, was &magnificent collection of ten
large fire-flashing opals, set with brilliant dia
monds. There were rich vestments, gold altar
services, large altar missals with precious stones
set in their covers, silver candlesticks, a dosen
solid silver cups and saucers endplates In a fine
velvet-lined olive-wood box, a porcelain tote is
tete set, a beautiful silver dove, a blazing Mon

box with ornameiss and precious ,
stones; large emeralds: rubies - and'
and the King of Prussia's gigantic Saxony

THE CUBAN INVADERS
American Filibusters Shipped
Departure of the steamer Plerrot With Den,
The Now York Times, of this morning, con
tains the following
There is no doubt that an expedition of a war
like character sailed from this port on the 4th
last., as stated in our issue of yesterday, and
there is little reason to doubt that Its destination
was Cuba. We gave, as fully as our reliable in
tormation warranted at the time, the facts of the
departure of the steamers. 'We are enabled this
morning to give a more circumstantial statement
of the movement.
The attention of the authorities was directed
by those having the management of affairs to the
wrong ship. Reports were circulated to the of
feet that the steamer Arago had departed for the
West Indies with warlike intentions, and tha
she Carried about 1,000 men, together with an
ample cargo of guns and cartridges. The new
United States Marshal, General Francis G. Bar
low, ordered his subordinates to inquire Into the
matter, and they ascertained that the Arago was
cleared from the Custom House for Bt. Thomas,
W. 1., on Friday last, and that she Subsequently
anchored at Gravesend Bay, on the Long Island
coast; fine miles distant from the Battery, going
from thence to sea on Monday afternoon, instead
of the following day, as was announced in some
of tbe morning journals. Her pilot was found
by the Marshal's officer, and he stonily contra
dicted the statement that there were men and
arms on board the steamer, pronouncing it false
in every particular. He was corroborated by an
other pilot, who was a witness to the departure
of the vessel.
The tugboats Yankee and Philip, belonging to
the Atlantic Submarine Wrecking Company,
were mentioned in the reports as having con
veyed the troops on board the Arago. Captain
Hazard, of the former boat, was visited last
evening by our reporter, and furnishes a new
and authentic version of the sailing of the expedi
tion.
He says that he was coming up the bay on
Tuesday afternoon, when he was hailed by Mr.
Waters, of the Wrecking Company, from the
Battery, and told to go to the foot of Spring
street, North river, and receive a cargo of pas
sengers. Ile accordingly did so, and found about
seventy-five men on the dock awaiting hie arri
val. They had no baggage, and were appa
rently very serious to- got away. The
moss of them talked Spanish, and
behaved in a manner calculated to
eicite suspicion. After they came on board a
man wbo acted as their leader requested the Cap
tain to put them on board the steamer Pierrot,
which was lying near Governor's Island. On the
arrival of the tugboat at the latter vessel, a large
assemblage of dark-complexioned men were die
covered on her upper deck. About 125 of these
were brought there by the tugboat Yankee from
the foot of eighth street, North river. The steam
tug Martha wee also reported to have conveyed
men on board, including the leader, of the ex
ptdition. She was seen lying alongside the
Pierrot by Captain Hazard. The commander of
the steamer, Captain George Fletcher, in conver
msitint 4. l eb a
existence pia large cargo of arms and ammunition
in the hold of his veaseL He said they were ob
tained from Governor's Island, and that he had
them trettiferred by a tugboat to his vessel, on
Thersdiy Lest, the latter lying at Atlantic
Basin:- • Brooklyn, at that time. Captain
Haliar- ' regarded this information as re
liable;' 'The organiser of the expedition is
represented to be General Domingo de Gotten
rill, who has' devoted his whole - life to the
struggles for Cuban independence, besides en
gaging in numerous filibustering movements. In
1860 he fought against the Spaniards under Lo
pez, and be afterwards participated with Walker
in kiln mid on Nicaragua. He is described as a
man of - Medium height, spare build, long gray
beard, and very dark and piercing eyes. After
the Pierre' had received the men iron the tug
boat Philip she weighed anchor and stood out
to sea. It was intimated to Captain Haz
ard that she would land her passengers
somewhere along the Cuban coast, and that they
would subsequently unite with the insurgents.
He was not made cognizant of this fackhowever,
until it was too late to be of use to the authori
ties here. The Pierrot, it is alleged, Is owned by
Spofford, Tileston & Co., and is regularly run
betwen this city, Havana, New Orleans and Gal
veston. The Arago, which left on Monday, is
believed to be on her way to join a Peruvian
squadron which is fitting out near New Orleans.
Che was formerly owned by the North American
Steamship Company, but was sold by them on
the 26th of April to parties unknown, the Com
pany giving a bill of sale in blank.
The Sus has this account:
It Is not known outside a very limited circle
that another expedition, on a smaller scale,sailed
from Hunter's Point for Cuba a week ago. A
large schooner, the Grapeshot, carried fifty vol
unteers, and immense quantities of ammunition,
shot, shell, cannon and rifles. It is generally
believed that this craft has reached her destina
tion, as she is a fast sailer. She sailed on Thurs
day last.
While the Cuban patriots and the people of
this city are Bending brave mon and the sinews
of war to aid in the work of consecrating Cuba
to freedom, the authorities at Washington are
using their official strength to crush the patriots,
and perpetuate the tyranny of Spain in Cuba.
We learn that the Spanish Minister has been as
sured that United States vessels shall be sent to
intercept the expeditions, and that revenue
cutters have sailed for that purpose. A revenue
cutter sailed from the Brooklyn Navy Yard on
Saturday to head off an expedition which is to
sail from the Florida coast. The Spanish Min.
later has also received assurances from Secretary
Fish, that United States vessels aro cruising off
the mouth of the Mississippi and on the Florida
coast, for the purpose of seizing every craft
which shall attempt to bear material aid to the
patriots.
The Government has knowledge of the building
of thirty powerful gunboats in New York, Bos
ton and Canada, for Spain. These vessels are to
cost six millions of dollars in gold. All these
vessels are to be finished by the Ist of June, and
tent to Havana, where they are to be "mounted."
Wo have received information from a genii
official source that fifty cases of arms are to be
shipped by the steamer Columbia, which. loaves
this port for Havana to-day. Her consort, the
Mow Castle. took out twenty-five thousand
Spencer rifles for the Spanish forces on the pre
vious trip. They were purchased and forwarded
by Colonel Herrera D'Avilla, of the Spanish En
gineer Corps, who has been, it is said, com
missioned to buy arms in the United States for
Spain.

their own institutions, we value and
are disposed to respect it. But if it is strained
to enact that we must sit by,neutral and Indiffer
ent, while one race murders another, ae in Crete,
or one class enslaves another,as in Cuba, we say,
away with such nonsense and Atheism in the
name of law. Wherever a man rises for his
tiatural rights, we hang a right to sympathize
with and aid him. Civil and political rights must
be arranged by each nation according to its own
ideas. Men outside may and ought to leave - eta
things to settle themselves according to the level
of a nation's ln tellleence. But natural rights real
on different principles and draw after thorn differ
ent duties. A rare or class battling for them has
a right to all the aid we can give it.
Hence there is no liksness between our rebellion
end the rising hi Cuba. The Cuban patriot in
ienhes "Justice end Liberty" on his flag, and
hence may claim the help of all the world, 'We
would have our Government not only promptly
recognize the belligerency of the Cuban insur
gents, but announce to the world, as a principle
of international law, that any race rising against
similar wrongs ehonld be recognized as soon
as they had - fought long enough to bo seen
and beard five hundred miles off. We deny the
existence of any Spanish Institutions in Cuba
which, in the light of our century, deserve
the name of a Government. A system which
keeps one•half of its subject in chains is
not a Government. A system by which
the Ifayonets of men three thousand miles off
keep a million of men in subjection, robbing
them of the fruits of their industry, (allowing
them no equivalent,) is not a government. To
be worthy of that name and entitled to the rights
of a government, the system must discharge the
duties of a government. It must foster industry.
promote civilization, protect the life and prop
erly and execute justice between man and man.
No Spanish rule in Cuba has ever done this. We
proclaim the right of our nationality, based on
justice, to deny to Cuban despotism' and oarba
riem the name and rights of a government. The
only rightful government in Cuba is found in the
patriot camp. We would have America ac
knowledge brotherhood with it.
We have no wish for Cuban annexation. Let
her lead the West India Confederacy. If, after
trying that. years hence, she seeks us, then will
be time enough to entertain the question. Our
only present 'nitres' is to help a nationality
breed on equality of rases and emancipation.
The same rule we have applied to Cuba, con
demns the course of England during the last nine
ye are. She strained even the unjust and equivo
cal rules of international law, to find MOMS of
helping a slaveholding conspiracy. Hating our
Government, as a possible rival, she aided to
establish piracy and slavery as corner-stones of
a new Slate. We will waste no time discussing
technicalities with her. Her offence is rank
The atonement is to be full pecuniary recom
pense, and beside a distinct, formal disavowal of
any right in future to net on the principles by
which she now eceks to defend her course. Ho r
.pology is to be a consent to the remodeling of
international law. No matter how long It takes
public opinion In England to reach this willing
ness. We can wait. Meanwhile it is for ua to
act respecting Cuba on these just and enlight
