"Pooh, pooh, not a word, not even a sylla

vermitent did net want it: The Aniericau go

might also, front public pressure, be
compelled; to recognize the Cubans as belli

' executions that were foe frequently it was
feared, occurring in Cuba With such believe- •
lent, soul-consoling phrases, I left the presence
of General Sickles, ready.almost to make oath •
thatenban negotiations. had but thus lax ad
--vanced;•unleas the whole, had been emitted
under the shadow of diplomacy.
The New •York Times of to-day says% edito
rially :
We announced a few days since' that some
'thirty gunbeati were building in this port for
__the Spanish Government, to be used, as we
apprehended, against the insurgent Cubans.
Ourreporters, who have visited them all, fur
»iSh a detailed account Of these vessels, the
work-for which they appear -to be designed,
and their present stages of preparation. From
their -reports itappear4 that these-Vessels are
only bf about J 7 tons capacity; that they are
• arry - asingle - l&poimderi - and - their - qtrotv
of men and officers Will not'' - exceed twenty
five men. They are obviously intended for,
coastin w arfare; : to scour the rivers and
navigable only by Vessels of light draft, and to
co-operate With laud forces:
These vessels are now under the surveillance
of an Americaulnag-of-war„ upon the com
plaint of the Peruvian Government that they
are designatozp.to Cuba.to replace and set
at liberty the larger Spanish Vessels now Sta

apparautly the intention ofthe owners to send
the fifteen most advanced to. sea first. With•
in'six weeks, therefore, the Federal Govern
ment must decide* either to release them, with
the certainty that they will,be used for the bi
mediate and ruthless destruction of the white
population of Cuba, which, almost to a•inan,
18 compromised with the Government 'at :NW
drid, • or it must find someother pretext
not
it liar now for detaining them. `Pe - .do not that there is any evidence upon which
a valid libel could be filed against one of these;
boats. They are built by a friendly Power to
be used as a part of her _coast guard, and in
the present state of - our relations with S aitt
• --have no---niore-autholity to --d -
than she would have to detain an American
frigate which might casually touch for coal or
water at Cadiz or Ferrol.
The question then recurs, Shall our Govern..
orient turn a deaf ear to all the appeals; ,of the
revolted Cubans that we would observe a
strict neutrality bet them and their op:
pressors ; shall we allow these vessels,NAM.
and manned in our- harbor, to be used
crush a people whose only crime, like that. 'of
our own revolutionary forefathers, consistain
refusing to be taxed ivithout representation)?
This is a question which must be decided by
the Cabinet at Washington within the next'
thirty days.
** * •
The contingency of , a war, ' therefore,' must
now be deliberately looked in the face. Is the
Cuban cause our „cause ? Will Mir . ..national
honor or any cheff4hed policy be compromised •
by the suppression of this rebellion,: Are we
in any way responsible for the inhtimanity of
which
any
is now the theatre, or are we'
under neighborly. obligation to employ
force to stop it—to stop a brawl by
a war—to extinguish, a fire by.
deluge ? Are`we,, called upon to add several
hundred millions to our de'bt—to.
pile op the burdens of taxation, already
grievous to be borne, upon thirty millions, of;
Americans, and tread the brink of national
bankruptcy • for the,next twenty years, in 0-1
'der to ameliorate the condition of three or four
hundred thousand subjects of a foreign State?
And, on the other hand, are we to stand by,
consenting like St. Paul to the atoning of
Stephen.and see a people murderously crushed

TRE DOCTOR'S ,ARREST.
_
On the Mtn of August last, Dr. ,Sirnmons
had been railed away to Puerto Principe, to
attend a very sick patient, and While there
attending to his duty' the house in which he
was . became surrounded by volunteers of the
Spanish army, and he was surpriSed at being
informed that he was wanted on account at
his disloyalty to the Spanish Government. He
was led away without, further ceremony, and
soon found himself within the , dark walls of
the government prison at that place.
Dr. SiMmons states that the charge on
which he was captured and imprisoned was
wholly fake, and that the only object the soh
liatlFinarresting: - Ithirwas to secure - IM,
money, knowing that he had a large sum iu
his possession. This they took from him, be•
sides a large amount of goldwhich WO.I after
wards taken froinhis residence, leaving hint
almost penniless when released.
The volunteers at that tune Were receiving,
no pay from the Governinent, and'relied en
tirely upon nhindering the wealthy-.. Cuban
citizens. . To procure -money, they would rob,
murder, sack and burn, it is-alleged, and after
desolating a hothestead of all its';wealth, in
many instances the men were, Murdered and
the women ravished. These . Volunteers were
taken froM the loWest •: . and most ignorant
classes, and were so utterly desperate and reck
less that they were only managed by a few
trained officers, who were constantly with
them. These officers .were themselves-blood
thirsty, and'When they gave the Wien perrnis
sion to shoot and kill the rebels , the work was.
_donn_with horrible gusto._ MroSinunonastates
that he positively believes that not one in. fifty
of the volunteers was able to - ead and , - write.
and that not More than one in ,twenty: could
tell the time of day on the *dial' 'Of 'a watch.
Notwithstanding their ignorance and inc &up e
tency, they were filled with, :a spirit. of.
bravado, and " often indulged,:in threats„ ,
saving they would annihilate . the inlabi
tants of the whole island if they did not suc
cumb, and saying that they intended to
kill all, beginning with the,: lighting young.
men and ending with the old men and Women.
They also bonSted that easethe ''United'

A BRAVE WOXAN.
Ateminisigenees of Margaret
- writer-in Pulnctire &Magazine has - thei 401-
lowing anecdotes of Margaret Fuller Osso
Puring her visit to London, on her way to
Italy; Margaret Fuller passed evening at
Knickerbocker Cottage ; and I had also. an
opportunit:(T , to study her peculiar manner
when she made an address at the anniversary
of an Italian school wAicli Mazzini,.ClM
lenga, and othersimade spe,eches.;' , ltt this, ad-:
dress (1847) . A.Tiss Fuller said that, it was quite
customary in her own country for ,wdmen.to,
bpeak in public , This seemed to me t,e be not
a verv'accUrate, though it might ,bis a prci
phetcc remark.
It so 'happened • that Our.,partyr in Genoa .
Leghorn.;.lsiaPles and Rome, was ai good 'deal
with that of:lNliss BetweenT.Leghorn
and Ciyita Vecchia, our steamer, •Euglish.-
one, was runinto in the, night hy,,.a. French,

tions, at the rate of twelve miles an lionr,stich
a shock in'the'dead ofnight,krioallig , us 'out Of
onrbettliki Was not fitted to socithe•ati anxious
spirit. The first impulse was to ruSh:On deck
to. see if weWere actually sinking. Fortunately
the how.pf the Frenchman had merely smashed:
one,of . our. paddle-boxes, and the wheel itself,.
Mit had, net injured the hull ; so 1 jumped .
down to the ladies' cabin to reassure.my ,wife
and - the other Indies. • The ,door was opened'
by Miss Fuller, in her night-dress. Instead of
hysterical fright, as I expected, my hurried
report that there would betime to dress,beforel
we went to the bottom, was met by Miss Ful
ler by the remark that seemed to ,me super
human in, its quiet calumess : "Oh. We—had
notz—made up our nmidq tlfet -- it - was—werth
while—tdbe at all—alarmed!" !" Verily,woman
.---Americari'woman, at least—is wonderful for
her cool philosophy and strong-nerved stoicism
in great - danger !
The narration in the memoirs of Mids. Ful
ler of her first meeting with her future hus
band, the Marquis d'Ossoli is not accurate. Her party had been attending some Of the
services of Holy Week in St. Peter's4o tits
had heard thd miserere in the Sistine Chapel.
As we came away from time Chapel,' end - met
thethrong from the great church on the steps;
Miss Fuller stepped out quickly to overtake
us, saying she had lost her friends ; and :LS it
was nearly dark, she seemed quite bewildered;
—more alarmed, indeed, than when we .were.
really in clanger ofbeing drowned in the Med
iterranean. She had taken the arm of a young
gentleman in the crowd, who - had politely of-'
fered to escort her home, or to a cab ; but on
joining, us,slio took leave of hini,as wsithoug,lit,
rather iingraeiously. She certainly did not
gii , 6ller - liddress to him, but left him, in the
crowd.and we ourselves took her to her ledg
ingii.. , flow and when they met again we do'
not know. But this was the first time the Mar
quis had seen her, mut he left her in the ,con
fusien, without Lowing who :she was .pr,
where she lived.
