The New York herald., 1851-09-15

According TO special telegraphic despatch
ssived last night, at this Office from Washington, it
h highly probable that the one hundred and thirty
prisoners from the late Cuba expedition are nov
On the high seas on their way to Spain. Our cor
respondent reports, hat they were to have sailed
o. the eighth instant, despatch having been re.
ssivsd by the government Yesterday morning, 20
that effect. 1t also appears that this arrangement
Of the Captain General would cut off the inter
session Of the Pres lent in that quarter for want
Of time to Communicate with Havana. We are,
however, gratiGed to be informed Of the Pre'-
dents resolution 10 transfer his 4" benevolent inten
sicus' TO the government of Spain, through the
medium Of our Minister at Madrid; ard tina. in
strueti, to Mr.. Barringer in behalf Of the pri
ssners, probably sent ou- by the last steamer.
From the terrible and disastrous results of the
petition Of the Pampero, the neglect of he federal
authorities at New Orleans, through which the
vessel escaped, is circumstance which
coils with degree Of responsibility upon
,he adminis.raAon. The fact may, perhaps.
be attributable TO the absence of tine President and
most of the cabinet from the seat of government
NJ the times for We srprehend that there was
abundant timely information upon which 10
act efe ,tiyely had the government been at home
Certainly, the policy OF the government has been
conclusive sgains. the departure Of any hostile
adventure rom shores, ard It is some satislac
tion TO be assured that the " President viii not
Gag in his benevolent intentions to reclaim the
remnant of the expedition still alive. Several days
viii intervene before the return of our next reg 1ar
'Eeamer from Havana but some incidental ar.
rival, in the meantime, at New Orleans or else
where, may, possibly, give Us decisive information
respecting the prisoners. From the promptitude

judgments in this business, It is most probable that
shese nen row on voyage 20 Spain.
Our alyices from the scene Of the late negro
riot and murder in Ptnnsylrania, are Of the most
important character. Many of the paFtic pants in
she ,arguirary AFFAIR have already been arrested,
and seven Of them have been co onmitted for tIea-
son. This is al, right aad proper; and We hope to
see the work ercctuay carried out The resisting
SJsn armed band, Of law Of Congress, which
has been pronounced strictly constitutional By the
highest legal tribunals ohd most learned judicial
authorities is nothing less than treason, and those
