LATER FROM PoRTo CABELLo.-We learn from
Capt. Jansen, of the Danish brig Otto, arrived
here on Saturday, in IA days from Porto Cabelo,
that three out of four of the government fleet had
arrived from Maracaibo on the 18th June. They
stated that they had had battle at Maracaibo
with Gen. Paezs feet, consisting of eleven sail ;
that Paez's force being much superior, the govern
ment vessels were obliged to make their escape
One of their vessels being dull sailer, was cap
tured-not, however, until she was run on shore
and the crew made their escape. No news from
the army. No papers

ENGLAND AND CUBA.-One of our London cor
respondents has given some insight into the start
hing purposes OF the British government, as con-
necied with the present quarrel between Spain and
England, and the longings of the latter power after
taking possession of the Island Of Cuba. Accord
Ing to this information, II appears that Lord Pal
merston has been very anxious 10 pick quarrel
with Spain, for the purpose Of making war with
that country, the pretext for seizing upon the
Isle of Cuba, and taking possession OF that b-aut;-
full territory before the power of the United States
may be Weakened up to the purposes entertained in
London.
The recent conduct of the British govern
ment towards Spain would seem to justify
strong suspicious OF such purpose in the
Palmerston ministry. Great fear and anxiety
were created IN England during the Mexi-
can war, that the United States after the absorption
OF all Mexico, would turn its attention towards
Cuba would take 1t in hand, and wrest it from
the power of Spain. That resolution of this kind
has been taken on the part of England, appears to
be confirmed by the undoubted fact that the white
inhabitants of the island look with horror upon the
possible cause of annexation with the British en-
pire, and desire, above all things, to form con-
nexion with the United States, from the natu-
raj motive OF desire to preserve their slave
property from destruction. If England should
,take possession of Cuba, there would be no qua
rantee against the instant abolition of slavery, and
the reduction of this nch island to the miserable
level of the French and British West Indies. In
connection with this important subject, we have
heard it limited that the movement of Mr.. Van Blu
rem, beginning with the Wilmot proviso, will not
end until a general abolition party is organized in
the North, In conjunction with the same political
purpose ofaboliton in England, and probably with
the understanding of the British governments
Every body knows that the abolition question in
this country may be agitated until 1t comes to the
point of producing division of the Union. Ii the
Union should be divided into the two divisions of
slave and free, no one can predict what state of
things may arise with Canada and the other free
States, in conjunction with the intrigues and pur-
poses Of the British power. Certainly, in this
country, there is a new phasis of public affairs,
which begins to be visible, and the movements of
politics. both in England and at home, ought to be
watched with great deal of attention and solicit
tude.

MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF IRELAND IN ALBANY.
"A meeting OF The association of the friends of

In the great hall OF the capitol and, notwithstand
ing the severe thunder and rain storm that com

to a late hour, seldom has a larger or more en-

O'Clock the meeting was organized by the unani-

had not intended to speak on this occasion-that
THIS was only the second time he had ever at.
tempted TO address n large meeting, and would
confine himself to few practical remarks in rela-
tionto the state .Qf Ireland and the duty her sons

have their rights, or be annhilaed in the ATTEMPT:
but he had fears tor the result of the struggle
lie exhorted the friends of Ireland in America to,
be united, and as they had on many former occa.

the prospect OF England, and audlng to afI,rs i'm

PARIS AND THE DIFFERENT PARTIES IN CONFLICT
WITH THE REPUBLIc-A FAITHFUL PoRTRArrURE
OF RED REPUBLICANIsM-The following sketch of
"Red Republication, by Victor Hugo, Is so graphic
and true, and peculiarly suitable at the present
moment, that we think 1t worth while to present
1t to our readers. 1t will be understood that Red
Republicanism' signifies the ultras of all kinds
who have just been put down in Paris by Cavaig-
nae. viz: socialists, Fourerites, and all the other
theorists who seek to destroy all order and subor.
dination in society, and to place power and wealth
in the hands of the low, the vile, the brutal. the
ignorant, the vulgar, the debased, the drunken,
the abandoned, the idle, and the. vicious Victor
Hugo thus eoquenty speaks:-
Two sorts of republics possible One Of them will
put down TIE tricoloIed flag and will hoist the red
flag. 1t will coin the great column on the Place Ven
dome into pennies. IL will knock down the statue of
Napoleon and set up that Of Robespie Mirabeau
in Its stead 1t will put end to the Institute to the
Polytechnic School, and to the Legion of Honor To
the noble motto OF Liberty Eqaatity and Eratern,y
will make France bankrupt. 1t will ruin the rich,
without enriching the poor. 1t will annihilate credit
which is the fortune of all and put an end to labor
which is the bread Of all 1t will abolish property It
will aboh families 1t will parade about the streets
Of the city with mems heads upon pixies 1t will an
the prisons on mere suspicious, and then make a
general gaol delivery by indiscriminite massacre 1t
will set Europe in flames and reduce civiiz .ton to
darkness 1t will butcher liberty stife the arts sup
press free thought abure God and motion tn ,e
tao fatal instruments which go hand in hand together
the gullotine and bank note p'~.cs!
Victor Hugo then goes on to give beautiful de-
scription of the Republic of Order, and concludes
by saying
OF these two republics, the one is civzation-the
other is terror | am ready to lay down my life in
support and to lose it, need be- in fighting
against the other
That such sentiments, so eloquently uttered,
must have had their effect in animating the friends
of order, IN the late struggle, to fight against the
fearful nsurrectlon of the red flag, no one can Tor
moment entertain doubt. 1t is pleasing to see
the spirit of order and peace thus animatng the
majority of the French people, and to behold ter
ronsm, Fourierism, murder. rapine, and barbarity.
signaly crushed and defeated, as they have been.

DESTRUCTIVE F1RE.-On Sunday
night last. about 10 o'clock, fire broke out
in the woods in Milton Society in this
town. (near the line between Cornwall and
Li,chfeld,) which was not stopped until Two
or three hundred acres of forest were burnt
