We regret to learn that Chevalier Gaspar Joss
lie LisbOa has been recalled by the Court of Bra

Pienipotentiary to the United States
Mr. LisbOa presented TO the Secretary of
State, on Friday last, Mr.. Felipe Pereia Leal,
late Secretary of Legation, as Charge d'Affaires
from the Court of Brazil.
We have more than once expressed the deem
and universal regret which the anticipation Of
Mr. Lisboa's recall had produced al Washing.
ton. Now that this event has occurred we
should do injustice TO the feelings of all the
members of the Administration, and to the
whole of this community, not TO express the
profound regret which this occurrence is calcu-
lated to produce. Mr. Lisboa has been for sew
eral years at Washington. No functionarv of
foreign Government is better known. more
generally appreciated, more sincerely re-
spected. He has filled his high position with
dignity, but without assumption. He has min
gled as freely as was in his power with the di-
plomatc corps, with the members of our own
Government, with the citizens Of Washington.
and with the strangers who have visited the seat
of Government. We hear but one voice upon
the socia! conduct and the amiable character of
Mr. Lisboa; and we know of no foreign gentIe
man among us who will carry with him more of
the respect and attachment of our countrvmen.
This community will part with his whole house.

The Havana AFFAIR,

The Washington Union makes this matter
very plain, and shows that the American officers
were in the wrong. II thinks il highly probable
that they supposed they had permission to land
but says it appears, officially, that they were
mistaken. They certainly, according TO the
Unions version of the affair. in effect broke the
quarantine laws of the port, for which, instead
of the enormous sums heretofore limited al, they
were fined 5000 each. After some DELAY, two
Of them paid this fine, and went their ways
The other two refused to do so, and appealed 10
the United States Consul, who gave his pledge
of honor that they should not leave Havana
without paying the fine, when they were set a
liberty. The Consul offered to advance them
the amount, but they declined receiving it, and
instructed him BY letter not TO pay the fines
At the close of this statement, the L nion very
properly remarks, "that il would seem to have
been better to pay the penalty and left their ap-
plicdti0n Of its remission in the hands of the
Consul, and gone with the transport in execu-
ton of the orders of their government, than 10
attempt 10 make national question with our
neighbors out Of such facts"

Right az our first letter is now an A,

II we could arrest time, and strike off the

something to excuse our delay, or at least miti-
gate or abate the folly and unreasonabeness Of it,.
We see in many cases, that time and camer
considerations, together with different customs,
which like the tide or food, insensbly prevail
over both manners and minds OF men; do oft
take off the edge and keenness Of mems spirits
against those things, whereof they were some.
times great abhorrers.
To those who prattle Of despair,
Some friend, methinks might wisely say,
Each day, no question has its snare
But also every care its day.
