Ma. Homo! GREFELY prints a card, in his New York Tribune, collecting the.er roneous report that a chaige had been made in the management of that journal. Mr, YOUNG remains at his -post. Mr. Grunnatilhrds nothing in the recent pub lications,which may justly impair the con. fidence of his associates in the gentleman who has been assailed, but insists thatthe charge involving treachery to the Ass°, elated Press ought to be fully investigated, suspending, .for that purpose, his own judgment thereon. It is stated that libel 'suits are to be instituted against all jour nals which copied the original scandal from the New York Bun. But few West ern journals reprinted the full text of the publication; but the synopsis, which was prepared and'telegraphed by the Asso ciated Press agent in New York, has ap peared in probably every newspaper in the country which regularly receives news thiough that channel. In this con nection, l a Philadelphia journal charges that the New York agent of the Associa tion is a-personal enemy of Mr. YOLnio, and that he has availed himself of his offi cial position to gratify his inimical feel ing.> This charge has enough of plausi bility .to entitle •it to a hearing in the pfoper quarters, and we commend it to the attention of the Executive Committee of the Western Press. TUE MARY LOW ELL, England makes a peremptory demand upon the Cuban authorities for the re lease of the Mary Lowell, an American Vessel seized by those authorities in Brit ish waters, and In violation of the British sovereignty, which was at the moment responsible for her protection. This de mand also includes such other reparation as justice requires. ' The vessel has been already condemned by the Spanish Ad miralty as a lawfal prize—that verdict standing upon the fact that her cargo con sisted of war material, understood to be for the insurgent use—so that the position cannot fail to embar rass the Cuban government. But the violation of her sovereignty, of which England complains; was flagrant, and could not be submitted to, even without that American demand, for the enforce ment of the English . maratime-law, which rests at the foundation of this case. It is satisfactory to perceive the promptitude and vigor with which the affair is taken up at London, and which will be fully sustained in the West In dian waters, in securing, in any event, the redress thus insisted on. TUE ALABAMA iN ENGLAND. The English press comment upon the rejection of the Alabama treaty, and upon the accompanying speech of Mr. Smarm, with a freedom of criticism which was naturally to be expected. They are quite willing to await Mr. Mcrrixy's arrival, and to listen to his pro positions courteously, but all the journals are agreed that the American ultimatum, if substantially in accord with our Sena tor's positions, will not deserve the con sideration of an hour. The cable also supplies us with what purports to be a synopsis of the Ministe rial deliberations. It is noticeable that the Premier, GLADSTONE, expressed confi dence that American diplomacy would not insist upon the extreme views pre sented by our Senator, bat would meet England upon fair and reasonable terms. Lord CLARENDON held a similar opinion, and avowed his faith in the efficacy of friendly negotiations for tae final adjust ment of the controversy. It is 'apparent that popular feeling in Great Britain inclines to look upon the American claim as aggreiiive, and to re sist it as such, and not because of its in trinsic Injustice. John Bull, when con• fessedly in the wrong, would rather fight than submit to be bullied. He will see that his newspapers ildicule our 'claims as unreasonable, and humiliating to the English pride, and it will need but a very , little time to get the, back of the . British lion into its most pugnacious curve. It will be quite as well as we need expect, if the national sentiment does not turn out strong enough to control Ministers, and force their Gov ernmsut "into an attitude much less friendly tuward America than their present judgment indicates. Public opinion is a power in this country, but it is an element of at least equal strength in Great Britain. Upon this question, the crisis of excitement has passed by in popular feeling here, but it is just setting in on the other side , of the water. It is quite probable that Mr. MOTLEIT will be instructed not to reopen negotia tions for the settlement of the Alabama claims. With an official announcement of the opinions which his own govern . menCentertains, our Minister will refrain, it is believed, from further discussions; at all events, be will take the Initiative in no 0nAgdPr0P011t.41421 0 9 1 011 1 .4 3 .. .aPy dent* arrangement We stein no naste, In this matter. Utile British public would have '- - I , M!ciM6llll - nrm' - : - time to bedorde cool, therigin Ip►ve as much allthey wish for. In due time, after the popular excitements, on either side, have passed away, the questions at issue will be again taken up, and with better sac: CUBAN AFFAIRS. Our sympathizers with the Cuban in surgents are encouraged by a transient gleam of light in the direction of Mexico, which recognizes the belligerent rights of the rebels. There Is not much in this. It is true that Mexico, although an other wise - insignificant figure in the great finally of nations, is still a nation, with all the nominal prerogatives of an inde pendent, and established sovereignty. This recognition was equally within her discretion and her authority. Bnt she has no . marine. Her flag is never Been in the Gulf, or ur•on the seas. This recog nition leaves her still neutral; she takes by it no part in the - existing hostilities, be yond the simple acknowledgment 9f each of the two flags as equally entitled to their legitimate freedom of the seas. But neither of them may establish prize courts in her ports; neither of them may make her neutrality a cover for ally new form of 'Warfare against the other. Un less Mexico goes yet farther, in her old hatred for Spain, and allies herself with the rebels, which would be war for her self also, she cannot suffer her neutral flag to be prostituted for letters of marque, or exhibit her sympathies by- any overt act whatever. All that the insurgents have really gained. is the sufferance of their own flag, flying over their own shipping in the Mexican harbors. Of course, no obstacles are likely to be put, by her officials, in the way of shipments of warlike material for rebel use, but in that sufferance she will risk the forfeiture of her own neutrality, for, if persisted in after remonstrance, it will be a good sous bells for Spain, whose navy is ample to blockadeher porta. The Juarez gov eminent has little inclination, and less ability, to support an unnecessary war, and will therefore, we think, abstain from every overt act of hostility, even against the hated Spaniards. Hence, the Cubans, who have not yet one seaport of her own, need expect but little of substantial bene fit from this recognition. Again. come rumors from Washing ton, that the Administration in clines to follow the Mexican lead, by supporting the rebels with our own more potential recognition. It is even declared that this step is already resolved upon, and is to be speedily taken. It is also announced that a recent order, front the President, for the sale of our surplus war material to any applicants therefor, is issued expressly in the insur gent interest. Neither of these reports is worthy of belief. We have a surplus of war material, at the command of any cash purchaser. Its removal from our coast, in violation of our own obligations to a friendly power, is prohibited by law, and therefore quite another affair. It world equally be prohibited by the same lawS, even if we were to recognize the rebels as belligerents. Neutrality would then\ forbid us to afford, to either party, such nuiterial aid. Tlie Administration has no official knowledge of the existing insurrection. It is thus far considered, in the diplomacY of the two nations, as a riotous resistance to a legitimate authority. It is in this way that Spain chooses to avoid the em barrassments which our own recognition of the Southern rebellion brought upon our Government, eight years since. Whether it would be wiser for the Span ish Government to recognize the Cubans as insurgents, and to pat all other powers upon their just neutral responsibilities, is a question which is likely to be determined by the events. Until then, our Adminisiration must ig nore the insurrection as politically a fact, or take along and most decisive step toward the interruptiOn of friendly relations with Spain. Such a step has been, and still is, most improbable. Any existing difficulties in the maintenance of a strictly neutral position, try the Ameri can government, 'between Spain and her colonial subjects;' would be immeasurably increased by our recognition athe rebels. The President will not multiply his barrasaments in that way, unless he pro poses to go still farther, in a direction which the National sentiment cannot justify. MEXICAN ANNEXATION. It is rumored that dispatches, recently received from our Minister in Mexico, cover a proposal from that Government to cede the two provinces of Sonora and Sinaloa to the United States for a fixed money consideration. A special meeting of the Cabinet was held on Friday after noon. the. President summoning' the at tendance of such Secretaries as were then away from the city. It was then sup posed that the subject for Cabinet consid eration would be the nature of instruc tions to be given to Minister Motley, but it is now thought that the Mexican propo sition occupied the meeting. In either event, none of the conclusions reached in the council Inive yet transpired. These Mexican priminces would con stitute, in respect of their vast mineral wealth, a desirable acquisition to the ter ritory of this Bepublic. But their gen graphical position is so peculiar as to, ex- elude the idea of the annexation ol" these provinces alone . Skirting the astern coast of the Gulf of California with a narrow strip of territory, of a <width lrgt• ,rylng from one hundred and, 114 y to Dior hundred miles, east and west, and more than fifteen hundred miles in length, ' 7 - 14. - 0.4T; -.- .ItAY-7s: -., j56.1t-T- - t-7-',-- north and south, and hemnied in on the ^stern border, :for that distance, by. the Mexican States of Chihuahua and Durango, these States are .confronted by the Gulf and, beyond that, by the Mexican peninsula of LoWer California. The States of Durango, Chi huahua and Coahuila are interposed be tween Sonora and Sinoloa, on the West, and Texas on the East. Against the an nexation of an area thus situated, there appear the strongest political and mili tary objections. Indeed, such annexa tion would necessarily involve the speedy absorption of the three other Mexican States which now cut them off from our present Texian border. Nor could Mex ico hold the peninsula west of the Gitlf for any length of time. It is probable that if Mexico propoies any cession of her present territory what ever, it includes the States of Sonora and Chihuahua alone, or perhaps the peninsula also. Such a re-arrangement of bounda ries Would conveniently round out the northern possessions of the neighboring Republic, and would give to us the con trol of nearly all of that vast area stretch ing due west from Texas to the Pacific Ocean. Annexation in that direction, and with a just regard to the geographical relations of the two nations, is much better worth our while,-than anything to be found in the Caribbean Sea. In the first case, we should render our imperial territory solid, compact, defensible, and sweeping the continent clear from the Gulf of Mexico to the Western Ocean. The construc tion of the Southern line of trans-conti nental railway would at once follow, and the mineral resources of the new .terri tories—which are very inadequately known, but of which we know enough to warrant the belief that they are practically inexhaustible, when thoroughly developed by the energy and skill of our countrymen—would, in' a very few years, repay all the outlays of the nation and of individuals. Mexico is to-day, as she has been since the expulsion of the French ir.vaders, enjoying an unusual exemption from do mestic commotion. President Joann holds the Government with a arm and steady hand, and, on the whole, as ;ft seems, over a people more contented And obedient to authority than Mexico has knoirn since Santa Anna's paimiest days. But his treasury is empty, and he looks in vain, for resources, to a people whose agriarlture is limited to the sim- ple procurement of their own subsistence, —an easy matter in that clintate—who have no mannactures adequate even for similar domestic necessities, and whose mining interests, once fruitful of the precious metals for the commerce of the world, have dwindled into an absolute insignificance. Burthened with vast public debts and altogether without means to discharge them, the government supplies its current necessi- ties by forced contributions and arbitrary impositions of every sort upon the people. It is not, then, surprising that the old pro ject of a territorial sale to this powerful and wealthy Republic of the North should be again revived, but it will be a novel experience for Mexico if this project be now connet mated, with the consent of a people which has ever iealously resisted all shallot propositions. If Juarez seriously contem plates it, and shall succeed in carrying :it through, he will not only find us willing customers, but he will exhibit to the world a most convincing proof that his power has a substantial hold upon the loyalty of his own countrymen. Washington Items. It is Understood Mr. Grinnell has no titled Secretary Boutwell of his intention to vacate the New York Collectorship, as he Ands his duties too hard. The.

He can, of course, remove him by appointing another per son, subject to the approval of the Senate, but he does not intend to do anything of the kind. - " The Navy Department is already ma king preparations for the taking of the ob. nervation of the eclipse of the sun in Au gust, and has directed the Commander of the Asiatic Squadron to meet Prof. Cain, superintendent of the nautical shame, and two companions, at Yokohonux, pan, by the first of July, from which point they will call for Siberia. .

The London papers open their editorial pages with comments on the speech lately delivered by Mr. Sumner on the subject of the Alabama claims, and the relations generally existing between Great Britain and America. The writers suppress the text of the speech, however. ; • The &an John Bright's organ, says: The claims of Sumner are so new and startling E ao vaguely put that they must be regarded simply as enormous, and 'withal so unexpected that if they convey merely the shadow of his instructions to Minister Motley, he will come to the Eng lish metropolis in a very different official guise from that under which Minister Johnson arrived. The Star deplores the rejection by Eng land of the early evertures made by ex- Minister Adams for the settlement of this question. President Grant, Is not, it is said, a whole-soul lover of peace, as was Lincoln. He has intense determination of character, but is a western man with ont that natural genius which. character ized Lincoln, who instead of reading had actual experience of the world. Presi dent Grant has no training either as a lawyer or politician. He is intensely American, and the entire world is ac quainted with his resolution of purpose. After defending England from the charge of general sympathy with the Confederation, the writer confesses that the escape of the Alabama from England was both deplorable and disgraceful, forming the worst precedent Great Brit ain could establish for the future in such like contingencies. The Star expresses, however, its amaze ment at the character of Mr. Sumner's demand for reparation. If Mr. Motley's instructions are couched in a similar spirit, his mission will be fruitless, as the extravagance in the propositions will strike the public at once. Every one knows how anxious the British people are to deal fairly on the subject, but justly considers that if her concessions I are to be merely used as stand points'for further, and at present, unreasonable de mands, England must carefully consider the position, lest by yielding unadvisedly, she should establish a worse precedent than that of burning ships on the high seas, by admitting a discussion of the de mands as utterly untenable, and which ought to be resisted. • The Times designates the estimates of the American damages put forth by Mr. Sumner as porteutious ' ' as it hastalrady reached £ 422,000,000 , and may in the future embrace the possible earnings of all the soldiers drawn from the fields of productive labor by the war. The speech, it adds, is worthy of Mr. Sumner, and deserves alit impartial:consideration. He *ante, however, something more than national reparation from England, asking for contrition and public humiliation. Treaties of peace, however, dictated by conquerors at the'head of armies, are found to be unencumbered by such expressions. An ackuowledginent of moral 'liability for these claims,-made . beforehand, would prejudge the , contro versy and stultify the proposed settlement. In the event of an arbitration, the court declaring England not liable to pay .damages, would her apology be taken back? The views taken by Mr. Sumner's. arguments on these points is puerile, un reasonable and unstatesmtudike. The Times argues that the concession of belligerent rights to the South was a simple act, and in fact not, dependent on the Union blockade, for ad there not been a blockade it would not have altered the case to any appreciable degree. Mr. Sumner makes, it is said, no complaint against France, although Napoleon was desirous of recognizing the independence of the Southern Confederation. It is al leged that though England is held forth as the only foreign power implacably hos tile to America, it is not too much to say, that at one moment during the war the fate of the American Union depended on the voice of England, whose sword thrown into the scale would have al tered the result. She declined the con test, and it evinces a degree of unfair ness, bordering on infatuation, to leave this consideration out of account. It is the common practice with Americanjour nalists and pollgclans to vil li fy England, and the protecdve tariff plan is popular with them, merely as likely to inflict an injury on Great Britain. Let atonement be made for the insulting language by in , dividuals, and it will be seen whether England and America, by a retrospective verdict of public opinion, will continue the cultivation of that mutual respect which is as necessary as in the private relations of life. Notions, in such, only deal in overt acts, and these constitute merely possible subjects - I'os pecuniary compensation. -,.... .. The. Standard, Tory o BRA: The English people now know what-Mr. Mot ley will have to aim at in his efforts to arrrange the Alabama .claims on a basis now wasted away. In, some respects ' good will ensue from the candor which the American Senate displays. Formerly the danger was that England *mild step beyond a due regard for national honor and dignity and allow the claims; but now, when the demand haa assumed its present proportions, they will feel assured that, even with John Bright, in the Cabinet, they are safe from the chance of dis graceful capitulation. The American claim can hardly. be described in se rious language, and its terms do not excite indignation. They might as well argue against a proposal for American troops to hold the Tower of London as a material guarantee, or that the Prince of Wales should be sent to Washington and Placed in the hands of the Federal au thorities as a hostage for England's good - behavior n the future. The policy, of England n this subject is no longer an, open qu on .: - America has formely re el corded her resolution that there shall be no settleri.ent of the Alabama claims; in short that England shall surrender at dis cretion and submit to any punishment which thUnited States Senate id its su premacy ver the affairs of the world may choose to inflict. In other words, she has decid that the Alabama claims shall e fi not be amicably settled whatever may ensue. The interval at the present day is long between national hatred and. bombardment. It ,is useless to ignore , and dangerous to f/Piget that the feeling in America is one',f intense and unmiti. gated hatred towa rd Great Britain, and that war withEnglitid would be regar. dod as a national,luttry, but expensive. England has not Only admitted that suck a war *mid be esOnsive but deplorable.

Mr. Sumner's speech created an intense excitement in political circles. At the Cabinet meeting yesterday the subject of the speech was informally discussed. Mr. Bright declared the embarrassment which the puldthation produced served Buglaud verrproperly, but agreed not to consent to entertain the terms of settlement fore. shadowed by Mr. Sumner. Mr. Clarendon expressed belief that the actual negotiations going on bet Ween the two countries on the subject were of a far less extreme character than ..the speech of American Senators, or ' the - articles in the publicepress. He hoped to find Mr. Motley as courteous as Mr. Jena son, and the present administration "'wee, eager fora lasting continuance of friendly .relations with the United States. Gladstone professes to have hood asatu'ance from reliable quartera tints the recent rejection of the treaty.on this sub ject by • the American Legislature was purely a political movement. The pres ent AdministrStion will endeavor to settle the Alabama question on liberal BM hon orable terms.
