(For the Cleveland LesderJ

LO0ETTsUED

1~OoETIEUEp
MEssRs. RDTFoRE Since the publication in
your paper Of this morning 1 an told by a
friend, whose Judgment I respect, that my
humble effort at an illustration Of interna-
tiona law as applicable to the arrest of
Nsalrs. Mason and slidell, is incomplete in
this that It does not show any authority in
Capt Wilkes to dispense with an ad;udiea-
ton in Admiralty. That it was an assump-
ton Of poWer on his part and an act Of dis
courtesy towards the government Of Great
Britain, 70 take the rebel commissioners
from = British vessel without pursuing the
forms Of Law, and as~csrtaining, by 3 Judicial
invesigstion, whether the passengers were
Quzai contraband, and the steamer Il Trent"
subject TO conRscstion or not. I spprehend
the force ofthis objection; and, in reply, can
only say, that Capt. Wilkes, when he trans
fsrrea the Commissioners from the "Trent'
70 the .tSan Jscinto," incurred the response
biity Of maintaining the proposition that
Messrs. Mason and SIidelI we're rebel Com
missioners from the 80 called Southern Con-
federacy. In fact no proof wa necessary, for
the proposition was ssl[evident ct the time
of the seizure; and "the Law does u~otresuire .
vain thing to be DONE"
But the objection, at best is but the shade
ola shadow and when started as, In this
instance, BY the British Government, runs
quickly into the ridiculous. lF
The complaint is, that Messrs. Mason and
EEidsu Fers taken from the steamer ~Trent"
too soon. They had not bsen put un5er libel
in the Admiralty Court and pronounced
against By having persons, cOntrahEnd Of
war, on board. It is admitted that her pas
sengers sustained that character &c the Gov
eminent Of the United States.
Now, what shall be dOns to repair the al
legged wrong, and ApPease the offended Ma
jesty Of England7
Place matters exactly in statv quo; moth
ing more can be demanded with any slow Of
prOpriety.
The slOop of war "San Jacinto " and the

WHAT WE HATE TO LEARN.
From the Atlantic Monthly Magazine.


One thing very slowly learnt by most hu
man beings is, that they are of no earthly
consequence beyond u very small circle IN
deed. and that really nobody Is thinking or
talking about, them. Almost every common
place man and woman in this world has
vague but deeply rQpted belief that they are
quite different from nybody else, aud OF
course quite superior to anybody else. IL
may be only in one respect they fancy they
are this, but that one respect is quite suih-
cieut. believe that, if u grocer or silk
mercer in a little town has n hundred Gus
toners, each sepera,e customer lives on
under the impression that the grocer or silk
mercer is prepared to give him or her GER
tain advantages in buying and selling which
will not be accorded TO the other nrnty nne
customers. .Say II is for Mrs. Bromn,o Is
Mrs Browns direction TO her servant, when
sending for some sugar: "say it is for Mrs
Brown and he will give il little better.'
The grocer, keeniy alive to the weakness Of
his fellow creatures, encourages this notion.
This tea," he SAYS. would be fuur-and-
sxpence pound TO any one else, butte you
i. is only four and threepeuce."
judging from my own observation. !
should say that retail dealers trade a good
deal upon this singular fact, in the consti-
tuition OF the human mind, tha. IT is mex
pressibiy bitter to mIst people TO believe
tha. they stand on the ordinary level o.
humanity that, in the main. they are just
like their nei.hbors. Mrs. Brown would be
ffi.iedwih an nsterable wrath, If It " erere pre-
sented to her that the grocer treats her
precisely q. be does Mrs. Smith, who lives
on the other side of he., and Mrs. Snook.,
who lives on the other. She would still be
more angry, if you asked her what earthly
| reason there is Why she should in any way
be distinguished beyond Mrs. Snooks and
Mrs. Smith. She take. il for granted she
| is quite different from them, quite superior
to Them. Human beings do not like 70 be
classed-at least 20 the class to which they
belong. To be ciassed at all is painful
I to an average mortal, who firmly believes
that there never was snch = being in thi-
world. remember ore Of the clevere friend

Important from the South,
Forts Pickens and the Forts ct Tortura,
and Key West Reinforced by Ruse!
THE SPANISH rxrurr IN SAN DOMINGO.


MONTGOMERY, April 2.
w. H. Ward, editor of the Key Of tho
Cult, has arrived here from Pensacola. He
states that on the 25th ult. the steamer Gen.
Rusk arrived at Key West, with 200 troops
for that place and 100 for Tortugas. The
Crusader had reached Key West, with sealed
orders, under charge of Capt. Craten, with
marines. The Brooklyn was going into Key
est ON the 10Th, and there was no doubt
that she had left troops at Fort Pickens.
The Texas commissioners stipulated that
the troops on the Gen. Rusk should be
landed at New York. The commanders of
the companies on board the Gen. Rssk had
signed document generating Capt. Smith,
Of the Gen. RuSk, from all blame for the
deception practiced.
Mr.. Ward further states that by an arri-
val at Key West on the 10Th it was reported
that the Spanish flag had been hoisted al
San Domingo, by the Spanish and French
The Spanish had previously written to resi-
dents at Havana stating that if Spanish
forces were sent there Immediately they
would hoist the Spanish flag, whereupon five
Spanish war vessels and 1000 men sailed
from Havana and took formal possession OF
San Domingo, aided by a French corvette.
Gen. Miramon, it is said, was at Havana
endeavoring to raise force for the purpose
of invading Mexico, and, it was said, thu
Spanish and French sympathize with him
1t was believed at Havana on the 25th tina
these Governments would, by squadrons
aid in the landing of such an expedition.
was also affirmed at Havana that the English
French and Spanish fleets had sailed fo
Vera Cruz, thej object of which was no
known publicly.

H The Rev. Mr.. Conway, in sermon
on Compromises, delivered in Cincinnati, on
the Oath ult., made the following forcible
illustration
1--WE hear much, nowadays, of compro.
mise. We are called on, in the name Of
patriotism, to remember that the Constitution
Of our country was compromise. Unfortu.
nately, it was and to-day we reap the harvest
of such seed; to-day we may read, unless
secession has robbed us of self.possession,
that those who begin with the compromise OF
Principle have given themselves to the tolls
of glittering, bright eyed, golden-scaled
serpent, which must inevitably crush them at
last. See before you, Americans ! the conse-
quences Of compromise proposed and
accepted, in the weakness, dissolution and
death whereinto the nation is plunged from
the graceful eddies and whirls of compromise
SHOW let US turn into the past, and consider
an instance and lesson of another kind: an
instance of compromise proposed and
rejected, and the consequences OF Che same.
Here is the compromise proposed:
"'The Devil taketh him into an exceeding
high mountain, and showeth him all the
kingdoms Of the world and the glory of them
and saith unto him, all these things will
give thee If thou wilt fall down and worship
mep
"And here is the compromise rejected:
"'Then said Jesus, Get thee behind me,
Satan
"And, finally, here are the consequences !:
"'When the Devil leaveth him, and behold
angels came and ministered unto him."
