FROM WASHINGTON.

w hASH4NNION, DCC. II.
The recent escape of flibusters from Mobile ex-
cites intense interest in official quarters, it is
considered that if they shall be arrested by the
British and other forces, the volunteer feeling of
this country would be aroused 10 the highest de-
gree of excitement, and immense reinfOrcements
rush to their rescue.
Hence a crisis in the foreign relations of our
government will be precipitated, and most angry
and threatening state of things will probably re
suit between our Government and those of Great
Britain, France and Spain.
The question would arise whether European
governments should be allowed to interfere for
the regulation of affairs upon the American Con.
tinent, to the prevention of which our government
is committed
The Union of this morning, referring to this sub
ect says it is to be hoped that our own naval yes
sells may yet succeed in interceptng the fugitive
Susan, and bring her back to our ports, thus pre-
serving this filibuster question still longer as
purely domestic one in our policy. Upon the Wig.
lance of officers in the waters of the Gulf may
depend in great measure the peace of the world.

SATURDAY NIGHTS REPORT.
FROM NEW YORK.

NEW oRKI Lee. IL.
The Herald's Aspinwall correspondent gives
detailed account of the incidents which occurred at
Aspinwall when it was ascertained that sCaptain
Churchill had not r. ceived from the owners the an
ticipated orders for forwarding the passengers of
the Washington to San Francisco by the Pnama
route, and that he must take them back to New
York. The excitement on board was terrible
some proposed sinking the ship, others expressed
the wish to knife or hang the owners and doubt
less would have done so had they been present
A meeting was finally called and committee ap-
pointed to act in the emergency. In reply to
telegraph despatch, the agent of the steamer at
Panama agreed to take to San Francisco such pas
sengers as could pay, at greatly reduced price.
The fare on the road was also reduced. About
200 were able to raise money enough to go for
ward on these terms. The remainder. amounting
to about 100, were unable to do so, being entirely
destitute and were therefore obliged TO return in
the Washington to New York. Great distress
exists among these, many of them being women,
who, with their children, were going out to join
their husbands and who, before leaving the States
had sold everything in order to provide means for
their passage The directors of the Company
held meeting this afternoon to determine what
course to pursue 1t is stated that the Company
will send out another steamer to the Isthmus,
also, secure boat round the Horn. The passen-
gers have been offered board here st the expense
