The New York herald., 1851-10-16

tise OF our will be entirely shown and il will
also lay bare the system of fAlsshood which has
been practised with such GOODNESS by certain por-
tion Cf the pfess Of the United States.
The statements Of our correspondent in New
York, and the papers Of that city, both unite to
dispel all the doubts that might have been enter
tanned OF the vexations suffered by her M,jesty $
Consul at New Orleans, and several Spanarjs
established in that city. This is an episode of the
great question, and must not be confounded with
1t; it will doubtless be treated separately. Our
flag has been insulted, and il is right and necessary
that we should have suitable reparstion Our
countrymen have been vexed and injured IN their
persons ard interests, and il is indispensable that
this should be atoned for to them. The govern
ment Of tho United States cannot refuse the one
nor the other. The question which it has lately
brought up in its claim against Portugal, for the
loss Of q vessel ut remote period and that claim
too, Of certainly doubtful justice, Is for US qua
rautee that no trouble will be attendant upon what
We now ask, and that this affair will be speedily
and satisfactorily adjusted We imagine that her
Msjesty's Minister at Washington has already
taken the FIRST step in this important In after.
Besides, no person Of ordinary common sense and
reasoning faculties could ever i'm agne that Europe
looked with indifference at this unheard Of scandal
at the hands Of raving democracy, which, not IN
tent with the vast territory which 1t already pos
sesses, coyets those Of others, employing for the
furthersnce of this object means more sanguna ~
and cruel than those employed by highwayman
to despoil the travelle, For Europe there is here
q question not only Of important national interest,
but also of invioability of possession and pnblic
order. The greater part Of Anglo American COM
merce is carried on by means of foreign capital,
principally English, and this capital would be com
pletely destroyed or neutralized the day on which
necessity would obige US to have to arms.
1t is not within the limits of possibility that band
Of rutans should be left arbiters and masters of
many lives and so many fortunes.
From La Nacion, Sept. Is, 1881
Three days since referred to the tumultuou us
meeting held at New Orleans by the accomplices Of
the expedition Of Lopez. We recommended, on
to the American governmen mt the right it has to the
invola.e possession OF its territory; and that it
should also dem and satisfaction as open and mani
fest the insult to our representative in of the
ports of the Union, had been great, should the
counts that have circulated through Madrid prove
to be true.
We have now no longer any doubt Of the inten-
ticns Of the government; and while We have no rea-
TO believe anything to the contrary, we believe
and trust that such course will be followed will
raise the henor Of the spanish nation and the
pect due to its flag in the esteem Of the world We
trust, too, that we shall thus give other powers
proof that it, from dive rsty Of causes, our mpre
has declined so much, We still preserve the noble
and proud feelings that distinguished ancestors
and that these same feelings will never allow to
suffer the most Insignificant outrage against the
chivalrous and high tempered Spanish nation.
We have, too, side the sanctity of our cause
as an auxiliary We have with US the just pro-
scrpions Of the International law that regulates the
intercourfe of nations, while We can also place in
the balance certain political considerations that turn
the scales completely in our favor.
We do not think that, at the point to which
things have come, it is permitted our government
20 be satisfied with merely a contemplative course
for ifit is in useful and necessary to fol-
lev lenient and enduring line Of conduct, in
others such course degensTates into what is called
the degradation Of nation; and VIVA. country suf-
fers such an afront? 'Tis surely no: that which
battled seven centuries and never rested till it
the disconsoate Bobad cross the Straits; nor that
which at Levant destroyed all the maratime
via and Saint Quentin forced Francis l., and
his n most glorious gererals, to deliver up their
swords; ror that which from leoS to 1874, was
armed to man, and never sheathed sword until
il had driven the imperial eagle beyond the vi
dssoa, and forced it TO seek for repose behind the
tortifc atoms Of Toulouse.
That every State from whose bosom hordes Of
pirates are now rushing forth against Cuba-that
public which has tolerated the idea that the property
Of our brethren Of the Antilles should be publicly
divided-that government which has sllo we'd the
open and universally known enlistment Of soldiers,
the purchase Of mu kets and military stores for such
a criminal enterprise and which has lent its cannon
to strengthen the attack Of Bahia Honda, has
reascn TO remember that the Spanish nation
does not suffer shameful humiliation IL doubt
less believes that the time Of Charles Ill is past,
AID that We no longer have thirty men Of war to
send to the canal Of Bahama; but the crcuIn stances
m ;hs CAGE are clear and well defined; and shp aid il
come to the worst, the lion of Castle would not
have TO put forth his claws against the stars tha.
symbolic the Pistt,ls Cnnm
IL Is now three years since the territory Of North
America served as q place Of refuge for those who
weuld .eyolutioni,e Cuba. Acts have been CON-
mitted which IL il longer permitted US to over
look for We would forfoit1ur title TO the esteem Of
Europe and the world, that are snxiousy expecting
the stand that We are going TO take III this ener-
gerey AT present, no one is alarmed on account
0f the enmiiy Of the United States againt Spain.
On the contrary, there il feeling that it is true
that VIC should make ourselves be respected and
when the govern ment at Washington shall know
cur decision, it viii doubtless take measures to
obse its delegates in other States to act far diff
terently from what they have heretofore done
The country at large has right TO expect Of the
government q worthy and honorable solution OF the
serious complications and the grave questions to
which the unjustifabie invasion OF Cuba has
given rise WI II be such ss it ought TO bel This
will depend on the energy shown BY the BILE
Secretary Of state.
