LET Us HAVE PEACE !"-Detailed ac-
counts OF the sailing of filibustering ex-
pedition for Cuba from New York were
published in the daily journals of that city,
yesterday. 1t appears that this expedition
put out of the harbor of New York in
tngs between the hours of and G, on
Tuesday afternoon. It consisted of about
900 men, ''mostly Americans and Irish
men, of good fighting stock" They were
partially equipped, and carried small arms
openly, and some of them muskets and ac-
contrements. They were put on board the
steamer Arago which had taken out false
papers, and are now on the high seas Oh
their way to Cuba.
OF the starting of this expedition the au-
thorities IN New York professed themselves
ignorant. The Government authorities
here appear to have been equally we'll in
formed, and nothing was done either here
or there to prevent the sailing of the filibus-
tiers. They quietly got off in broad day
light. were put on board of steamer which
had previously escaped the vigilance of the
authorities, and upon which, it is said, were
1000 stand of arms and 80, 900 rounds of
ammunition, besides uniforms and stores.
more fragrant violation of international
law cannot be conceived. With what face
we shall claim damages now from England
for the depredations of the Alabama, future
officers of the law can give for permitting
this breach of the comfy of nations it will
be a curious thing to learn. Whether they
will ever be called to account for official
malfeasance or not is still in doubt. Whe-
ther any attempt has been or will be made
to overhaul the flibustering steamer we do
not know. But it is certain that here is q
case of most wanton and open lawlessness.
1t is clear that the whole proceeding should
be rebuked, and the remissness of our Of
ficials meet from high authority Mt once that
condemnation it deserves. If no apology is
made or meant, if no effort is made to re-
trieve this monstrous error, the whole thing
must mean simply ,cdr!
But now that the crime is committed, it
remains for the Government to act prompt
ly and decisively; to disavow the act by pro-
clamation, and to put the police of the seas,
as far as possible, on the alert to stop this
foolish sacrifice, and remand this expedition
sailing under the national flag, with false
clearances and in direct evasion of the law.
