The Spanish ship yeIoz, (formery steam boat
by that name and plying between Havana and Ma
tanzas) of $50 tons burlhen now lying in our har-
Dor ready for sea- is commanded by BERNARDO DE
Soro, well known to the public as one of the con-
vcted pirates, who subsequently received a pardon
from the President. De Soto is fine, gentemanly
looking man, of about thirty two or three years of
age, quite genteel in his dress, and in fact his ex-
ternal appearance decidedly in his favor 1t may
seem strange that such man should be placed in
such station, so soon too, after the infamous affair
in which he proved to be implicated. We
hardly think that an American would have found it
so easy matter to be reinstated in the good opn-
ion of his fellow citizens and restored by them to
honorable employment As it is however we can
only observe, that there must either be merit
in the man with which the public generally are not
acquainted, that the views of the people of Cuba
as to the dctestable crime of piracy, not of that
Justly relentless character, which distinguish the Cit
izens of this country and indeed of most CONNER
cial communities.

The Spy IN Washington" The letter writer
at Washington Matthec l.. DduiS, who furnishes
the New York Courier aud Enquirer with the pro-
ceedngs of Congress under this signature, stands
accused by the Washington Globe and New York
Sun of having held traitorous correspondence with
the editor of the London Times. OF the letters to
the English paper, the Sun gives the following
specimen. Speaking of the British Constitution
and reform, he says:
eff well guarded, it will exist, guiding the people
forward in a compact orderly mass in the progress
Iof human improvement; whilst the democratic
machine of America will run itself to pieces, and
anarchy arise from its ruins. i view the corpora
ton reform with much apprehension the system
of making any executive. Office dependent popu-
lar suffrage is dangerous and impolitic-every of
flee, in this country, will be the prize of party
subscrviency-and the annual elections will tend
forever to keep alive the banefu spirit of party be-
sides the power and confidence which it will give
the ultra Democratic party, assisting them in the
prosecution of their plans for the destruction of the
constitutions"
