The Government and Cuba.

The Washington Republic of Monday the
25th, comments very severely upon the in
stigators of the Cuban Expedition, and, con-
sidering all the circumstances of the case,
thinks that but little sympathy would have
been felt for Lopez and his followers, had they
all been shot down in the immediate prosecu-
ton, of what it stignatises as, an unlawful
enterprise, but caudidly admits that the whole
sale slaughter of prisoners, incapable of fur
ther mischief, without trial, and without a
hearing, seems to be an act of cold blooded
atrocity that shocks every sentiment of hui
mainly, and one that viii excite universal in
dignation. Tt has received, continues the
Republic, the prompt attention of our Gov
eminent, which Immediately upon receipt Of
the late intelligence from Cuba, instituted
measures to ascertain whetheranyof the per
sons so summarily put to death by the Span
ish authorities were American citizens, and il
they were such, by what evidence their
guilt of "a crime deserving so sanguina-
ry punishment was established, as also
to enquire into the facts in relation tc
the alleged firing upon the United States mai
steamer Falcon BY Spanish ship Of war
and to investigate as to how far this proceed
ing, if in contrarention of our national rights
was authorised or approved by public author
Iity, and for this purpose, according to the Re
public, Commodore Foxhall A. Parker, com
manding tho Home Squadron, was to have
sailed on Tuesday last from Norfolk for Ia
vana, in the q. S. Steam Frigate Saranac
! The Saranac was waiting at Norfolk for thu
purpose of conveying Gov. Lctcher to Yer;
Cruz, on his way to resume his diplomat,
duties at the city of Mexico; but her preson
mission being of such pressing Importance

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9th


1t was known here yesterday, that the Cab
met was il come agitation in regard to the
state of Cuban affairs. Accounts had been
received through the newspapers of riots in
New Orleans, and of assaults on the Spanish
Consul, butwere not fully credited because no
official advices had reached the Government.
But owing to the interruption of Telegraphic
communication with the South, the Govern
ment had no advices later than the 81
But the Government had received dis
patch stating that the steamers Fanny and
1laJoma were fitted out for Cuba and that
the U. S. officers could not prevent their 60
ing out. Thus it would appear, that the
Government is powerless to break up these
illegal expeditions. telegraphod to you on
Monday the steps taken by the Government,
since which time some other orders have been
given, with view to maintain our neutral
obligations The members of the Cabinet,
present at the consultation, yesterday, were
NIessrs. Corwin, Conrad, Graham and Hall.
Mr. Graham has been very active of late,
in this matter, and it was by his order that
Commodore Parker was sent to Cuba in the
Saranac as a Commissioner to make special
inquiry into the incidents recently reported
as having occurred.
It has also been said that the u S. Reve-
nue. cutter Duane would cndeavor to inter
cept the steamers and other vessels that come
out without a clearance. But it is much TIC
be doubted whether, in the present state Of
excitement, the interposition of the Govern
ment will be effectual.
/ TIL known that an expedition is fitting
out from New York, and it is possible thai
Iin,somo way it may get off An expedition
set on footb Mr.. O'Sulliyan and others, was
broken up there last Spring, and the prose
cutions against the offenders are still pend
ing.
The sympathising meetings in the North
ern cities, and especially in New York, hav,
been very large, but did not embrace am
men of much consideration. They wer,
chiefly of the men who getup riots, and VII,
were ready to Oyerturn the Government o
Rhode Island in the time of the Dorr insur
rection. But 50 numerous now is this elias
of men in large cities that.it must have grea
weight with politicians, who fear to often,
lit, lest thereby its. votes be lost at election.
The President will soon be here, and ais,
Mr.. Stuart and Mr.. Graham, and after re
fHceiving further intelligence as to the state 0
things will be prepared to act with discretion
Iif not with efficiency
