Of progress throughout tho world When the
affairs Of Cuba FIRST assumed . serious aspect
when the organisation of the Lopez expedition
was hrst sanounced-ws expressed our hope and be-
Lief that Lori Palms1ton would concert mea-
sures with France and with Spelo to secure to
the latter her most valuable colonial possession,
and at the ssme time to remove any just
cause of complaint on the part Of the Cubans.
The fact that M. Bar ,che, the Fren;h Minister for
Foreign Affairs, was .. that time in Eag and, osten-
slbly on visit to the Exhibition, and that he was
in constant com uunication With Senor lsturtz, the
Spanish Minister, and with Lord Pa,nerston, az
forded US, as We though, just grolnd for the con
reposed in the tact ana patri ltism of Lord Pal
mezston has not been disappointed. On this, as on
every other occasion, he has proved himself tho
roughly English minister, and the most accomplish.
Monday evening, contains the following announce
ment:-" Dispatches Of importance were re-
seived yesterday evening from Madrid, at the
Ministry Of Foreigny Affairs, and immediately
afterw ards M. Baroshe went to the Elysee,
and was soon joided by the Spanish Ambassad and
Lord Normandy. France and England are decided
on preventing rupture between Spain and the
United States and in preserving for tho former her
valuable colony but with the Introduction Of some
indispensable reforms in the internal government Of
Cuba. A French steamer leaves Havre this day
for Washington, with dispatches from the French
government and the American minister" OF the
success Of this mission-which, without wounding
the sus,eptibilities of our somewhat sensitive
transatlantic brethren, nasmuch as 1t will secure to
the Cubans all which they profess TO desire to OBJ
tain for them, viz good government, will at the
same time preserve to Spain her most valuable
colonial possessions-there cannot be doubt, and
we rejoice therefore thai az this crisis the seals of
the Foreign Office are held by Lord Palnerston,
the statesman, instead Of Lord Aberdeen the capi-
tulator.

International law is secuted by the party Of order
in some cases ostentatiously as II is inssted
in others. For instance, the French bandit cxpe-
dition to Rome was applsuded by the re- action;
the American buccaneer expedition TO Cuba s con-
demned
Rome, in 1910, was in the hands of the Romans.
A Roman Senate made the laws, Roman ministry
executed them, Roman army defs oded the city
Of the CAESARS and the Popes. Throughout the
States which constitute, in International relations
the Roman nation, there was nothing exceeding
the fullest support given to the national govern
ment, except the JOY and gratitude Of people
delivered from the bloody and abominable rule Of
the Inquisition and the Vatican. Nothing was
wanting to constitute expression Of national
force and national will. AS far as France and Aus
tria and England were concerned, the Roman
States were, to all intents and purposes, nation.

tions +! How that national law was interpreted,
and that protection afforded, we know. -Four ar
mics, with cannon and mortars, with sabre aud
bayonet. surrounded its unfortfed extent, and one
na.ion tramped out, not only the fire of its nation
ality, but the last sparks Of its liberty.
The party of order rejoiced. The Times, the
ChCnlcte, ana the weaker Vesseis ol tuc EuSiiru
ab ,olutists had no arguments against tae men who
re-esablished the inquisiton, and re.asserted the
domination Of Austria. Then they did not urge,
for one moment, that the Roman expedition was
violation of international law. Neither in that nor
the subsequen. invasion of Hungary by the Cos
Sacks did they express longing for the time when
oil civilized nations would unhesitatngly acquiesce
"in the rules Of international morality, commonly
denominated the law Of nations"
But now the tables are turned. The Spanish
monarchy is one of the brightest gems in the crown
of the party of order, because it is one of the
meanest Of The crowns of Europe. The Spanish
monarchy is among the weakest and most con-
temptible Of that bloodstained parry, and the Spa
nish monarchy is (or was in possession Of the island
of Cuba.
Cuba is not a nation; Cuba is not liberated and
independent; Cuba has no national senate, no
national executive, no national army. Spanish
soldiers command in her ctadels, and q Spanish
general rules in her councils She is not part of
Spain, but one Of Span's dependencies; she is not
Creole population detest their Spanish masters,
and they strive to eject them from the islands. An
invading force land upon its shores to assist the
patriotic party. Part Of them are taken; and
Spanith hidago orders their massacre In cold blood
Fresh supplies Of men, money, and arms are sent to
the invaders. Their own countrymen are gull
ty Of the crime Of mourning and preparing to
avenge their loss. Then what do we read in
the journals of the party of order Those who
raised not voi:e in favor OF the annihilation OF
Roman nationality and Roman hberty-a case OF
| the violation Of international law so strong that
this Of Cuba is weak compared with it-those
who saw only Justice and right emhlazoned on
the apdards and enforced by the arms Of Louis
Napoleon, a Ferdinand, and q Francis Joseph, see
nothing bat piracy and robbery, injustice and un-
righteous ness, in the expedition OF Lopez. The
conquest Of Rome by the Jesuits was great and
noble action the invasion Of Cuba by American
republicans and exiled Cubans Is an a,t compare
bic only to the deeds Of Kyd or Constable
Bourbon.
We are net defending buccaneers !" We are
placing two facts side by side, in order that the
eyes Of the people may be opened, and the hand Of
help On the right side, and prevented from stabbing
! liberty in the back.
