AN AMERICAN ACTRESS AND AUTHORIZES
We have never seen or heard Mrs. MowATT,
and can form no opinion as to how just the
criticisms are that we have read in relation to
her; but we have never been able to under.
stand how q lady of her literary ability can
obtain the consent of her own mind to appear
upon the stage of theatre.
The following, from the New York Star, has
the appearance Of fairness, and we therefore
quote it:
!" Mrs. Mowdh as an Actress.--Mrs. Mowatt
is drawing pretty fair houses ut Niblo's. We
wish she were better actress; but in spite OF
both patriotism and gallantry, we cannot admit
that she is any thing more than an ordinary in
that branch of the fine arts. She is a pretty
woman, however, and, as a writer, talented,
agreeable, natural and full of vivacity. We
wish she would abandon the stage, for which
she is not fitted, and turn her attention to au-
thorship, for which she is so peculiarly qualified
We could then praise her with warmth and
sincerity; and honest praise is worth some
thing, while the farrago of f1atulent sycophancy
with which the interested would sustain her in
false station is utterly valueless. AS to Mrs.
M. g success in London, we are familiar with
all the facts, and know exactly how to appre-
ciate them"

View OF the Canadian Press ON the
Havana Massacre.

From the Montreal Herald August ~.
We are no friends to unjust invasions; but
there should be limits to the wrath or ven
geance of man. The recent wholesale butchery
at Havana, Of the fifty foreigners taken pris
oners, without arms, and inhumanly shot like
beasts, without trial, appears to be an atrocity
which, not merely the names and nation of the
dead, but the safety and honor of all living, re-
quired to be justified or expiated.
| These undistingushing massacres in cold
blood, in the nineteenth century, on the part OF
governments which pretend to legitimate au-
thority-whose acts should consequently be,
not the impulse Of blind and sanguinary passion,
but the result of humane and calm deibera-
tion-are far more revolving to the feelings, and
stamped with more INCAPABLE guilt, than any
crimes which simple individuals, liable to the
continual influence of corruption, enthusiasm
or illusion, can commit.
The ferocity of the Austrian butcher, Hay
nau, appears to have been brought to America
by the Spanish generals and governors. The
patriarch's malediction may possibly yet reach
them all: "Cursed be their anger, for it was
fierce and their wrath, for it was cruel. will
divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Is
rael." But the end is yet to come, both for
Austria and Cuba. North America, at all
events, is not country in which absolute gov
ernments can venture with safety on such
system of hostility against the people as was
only practised before civilization was known.
If governments and rulers seek to terminate il
will happen, in America at least, that such gov
ernments and rulers are more likely to suffer
than infict determination.
1t is singular that Santa Anna began his ca
reer against the Texans by shooting, in cold
blood, large number of prisoners, promising
young men, few of whom had attained their
twenty-fourth year. =. Was there any one en-
dued with the feelings of human being who
could restrain indignation at such brutal exter-
mination of untried and defenceess captives
Was there any one who did not desire to see some
adequate infection upon such ruler and such
government? The day of retribution came
Santa Anna was himself taken prisoner, but not
shot. Yet it would not have been more against
the law Of nature and nations, for his captors to
have shot Santa Anna in cold blood, than for
him to have shot his prisoners in cold blood.
The crimes and cruelties of governments and
rulers are Of deeper guilt, and call for deeper
atonement than those of individuals. However,
the retribution Appropriated, at least, to ex-
patton. Santa Annals power, by the Divine
will, was wrested from him, and his country
was vanquished and parcelled out by the fell
low citizens Of the youthful prisoners whom he
shot in cold blood

the Philadelphia Inquirer, and who also CORE
spends for, and sends telegraphic dispatches to
the New York Herald, has been reinstated in
a twelve hundred dollar clerkship in the Post
Office Department.
Mr.. Brega was first appointed to Office under
Mr.. Secretary Robert ]. Walker He was con-
tnued in Office under the Taylor Administra-
ton, and corresponded for the New York Her
aid, under the auspices Of Secretaries Clayton
and Meredith, until the Po,issin blo,o-up. when
his correspondence with the Herald was, for a
time, cut off, and he himself removed from

ment he happened to be in, in spite of the well.
known solemn pledges Of Messrs. Clayton and
Meredith that he should not be removed. Mr.
Postmaster General Hall has seen fit to correct
this error Of the Taylor Administration, and to
reward so able and reliable correspondent as
Mr.. Brega; duty that Mr.. Meredith and Mr..
Clayton lin whose particular service he labored)

fernando Torrss, end Miguel Dsasvidso, were

The Am~sesn contains the following iatslli-
gent article upon the subject:
The IsTELLIoxNcE FROM CuBA.--The accounts
received by telegraph from Savannah, announc-
ing the victory Of Lopez over the Spanish forces
and his rapid advance upon Havana are oalcu-
lated, II the intelligence be true, 10 open
WIDE held for reflection, and to give warming of
. future full Of difficulties, responsibilities and
doubts.
In any event, whether the present intelh-
gence be altogether correct or not, the final
issue Of the struggle in Cuba viii find ito termi-
nation, it can scarcely be doubted, in some such
result as these accounts indicate.
The Spanish authority in Cuba once sub
verified and a new government proclaimed in its
stead, it cannot but follow that Spain will come
forward with all her power to undertake the
recovery OF the island. Nothing, we NAV be
sure, can prevent that, unless in the mean time
an offer on the part of our Government to pur-
chase Cuba may be made; and in that case the
Court of Spain will have two alternatives for
consideration: one, to part with it for an equiv
alent in money; the other, to part with Cuba
without any equivalent--after having been
bafied and defeated by the bold invaders who
have made good their footing there, and who
will be sustained in holding it by volunteer
forces enough to set at defiance the power of
Spain.
There have been intimations in some of the
British journals that England, in consideration
Of the debt due to her from Spain, will not look
on with indifference and see the transfer of
Cuba to another power-since 30 large q por-
ton of the Spanish revenue is derived from
that island. 1t remains to be sseen how far
these limitations are well founded. When the
issue arises it will be time enough to consider
it. Nevertheless it cannot be denied that the
manner in which the conquest or annexation Of
Cuba may be viewed on the other side of the
Atlantic constitutes an important item in the
general interest Of the subject. 1t has indeed
been stated that treaty Of guaranty exists
between England and Spain in reference to
Cuba, and that France also is q party to it.
The actual state Of the case we do not profess
to know.
In the event that Cuba should fall into the
hands of the invaders, it is quite clear that the
island could not long remain politically indie
pendent; and it is equally clear that there is
but one nation to which it could belong In
what light soever we may regard the invasion
of the island, q new question arises when the
invasion becomes established, and an organized
government in the place of the Spanish regime,
rises into existence and shows that it can main
tain itself. This country, in that case, could
not stand aloof, if it should desire to do So
Cuba is too near a neighbor, too important in
position, too valuable in q commercial point Of
view for the United States to remain neuter in
her affairs, if change of masters is to take
place, and 80 rich prize is to be transferred
from Spanish possession.
