ARREST OF DR. PECK AT PUERTO PRIN-
CIPE-liorement of his Frie7sdS-The
New York Herald. of the 10th ultimo, af-
ter stating tha, a deputation of the friends
of DR. PECK bad been sent from New York
10 Washington. to lay before the President
the facts connected with the arrest of Dr.
PECK. says by letter received yester-
day from Puerto Principe, We learn that
DR.. PECK. his partner, LORENZO D'TAYAs.
II. EsTEBAN, ID. ESTRADA, of Philadelphia
and Mr.. MANUEL VALsEs, of this city, have
also been arrested, and are now in prison in
Havana. Mr. ROBERT C. CLARK, of Phil
adelphia, was ordered to leave the island
which he found it impossible to do, and We
presume that. ere this, he has shared their
unfortunate fate" Dr. PECK is native of
LitchEeld. Conn. but has, for number of
years. resided in New York, where he has a
wife and several children. He went to Gu
ba in March last. in company with a young
Cuban, whose father was exiled, and which.
it is presumed, has led to this trouble, as it
is stated that DR.. P. is in no way connected
with the filibustering schemes.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA
HALIFAX, April 25

HALIFAX. April 25.
The Royal mail steamship Africa arrived
at this port last nj ght en- route for Boston,
where she will be due about noon tomorrow.
She left Liverpool on the 18th instant, and
brihgs the news of her own arrival out on
the 7th instant. Her news is of impOr-
tance.
The dates from Sevastopol are to the 14th
inst; although skirmishes were still constant
ly taking place, the condition of affairs had
undergone no change of moment
The Vienna Conference assembled on the
10th, but with what result it was not known.
1t was not known when another meeting
would take place Further complications
in regard to the attitudes of Prussia are re-
ported.
In the Liverpool cotton market the activ-
ity which had prevailed still continues, al
though at he close the market had assumed
a rather duller tone, without, however, re-
ducing the quotations. Sales of the week
10000 bales. In breadstuffs the demand
has been quite limited except for Indian
corn, which continued in good request for
Ireland Prices for all descriptions we're
somew hat easier though not quoably lower.
In provisions generally fair business has
been done at previous quotations. The
London money market was easier.
The Paris Moniteur contains remarka-
bic document exslacing the military condl-
ton of the allied governments since the COM
menccment of the war.
Galpoli was occupied TO prevent the
march of the Russians upon Constantinople
but the retreat of the Russians from Siis-
tria rendered the occupation of Galipoli
aud Varna unnecessary.
The allies, unable to operate in Bessara-
bia without the aid of Austria. the cam
paign against Sevastopol was undertaken,
that the troops might not remain inactive.
The immense difficulties of the siege are
pointed out generally.
The document has caused much excite
ment. and Is considered an apology for soon
raising the siege.
Spain remains quiet Lord Howden's
recall is still urged. and the papers have
been sent TO London.
At the Conference on the Sth, the Russian
| Pleuipotentiares had not received their in
structionS, matters, therefore, made no pro-
gress.

Our Relations with Spain.

There are various opinions and specu!a-
tons as to the course the Administration
will pursue with regard to existing diff
culties with Cuba While some, who
claim to speak autboritatively. predict war
as inevitable. others, whose sources of in
formation appear equally as reliable. as
distinctly aver that the President and Cabi-
net look to no such result, but. on the con-
trary, are fully satisfied that all existing
differences can. and will be, amicably and
satisfactorily adjusted.
The dispatch of Commodore McCAULEY
to Cuba, We regard as being more favorable
to peace than war. as it is scarcely proba-
bic that the President, in the absence of
any action of Congress. would approve of
such instructions to Commodore McCAU-
LEY, as would lead to collision of arms
between the two governments. This view
is sustained by the cordial reception which
the Commodore met at Havana, as since
his arrival there he is said to be on the most
intimate terms with General CoNcHA, hav-
ing participated in review of the Spanish
troops. riding with the Captain General in
his carriage.
The friendly reception of Commodore
MCCAULEy at Havana, confirms a state
ment published short time since, to the
effect. that very soon after the intelligence
of the assault upon the Etdorado. by a
Spanish cruiser. reached Washington, Mr.
MARCY had an interview with the Spanish
Minister, which resulted in the immediate
and unconditional admission by the latter,
that his Government had been guilty of a
trespass upon our commerce. and PROM
ise to send instructions a. once to General
CoNCHA, to see that thereafter no vessel
sliling under the American flag. however
suspicious it might appear. should be fred
at or brought to, unless within nine ma
rine leagues OF the shore. this being the
extent Of marine jurisdiction conceded to
all nations having marine exposure
Such concessions. coupled with the in
s:ructions of the Spanish Minister. which
were doubtless in the hands of General
CoNcuA before Commodore McCaULEY
reached Havana. and the friendly recep-
ton of the latter. are favorable .ndica-
tions that peaceful negotiations will pre-
vail.
