ANOTHER NAUTICAL BREEZE.

Following closely upon the excitement oc-
casioned by the escape of the Gloucester
fisherman, which proved to be an affair OF
little importance, comes another breeze from
the opposite quarter. This time the difficulty
10 with the Spanish government, on account
of an American steamer, the Hornet, now
lying at Port-au- Prince. A letter from that
place gives the following full particulars:
Port au. Prince, Oct. 8.
Some IL months since the American steam
er Hornet left the city of New York on
Cuban expedition. Although every attempt
was made at that time by the Spanish au-
thorities in New York to get the Hornet
seized, on the allegation that she had on board
large quantity of arms and ammunition, she
ultimately sailed as a merchant vessel. Sub
sequently the Hornet put in here, where she
has remained up to the present time, under
the constant surveillance of the Spanish au-
thorities.
Finding the Hornet did not attempt to leave
the port, the Spaniards grew tired of watch
ing her, and they determined to take other
measures to secure her. The aid and in
fuence of the Spanish consul here was called
in, and backed by TIVE Spanish war-yessels,
one of them having on board Spanish Ad.
q
Government demanding that in the space OF
As hours the Hornet should be given into
their hands. The Spanish consul also stated
in his letter that unless these demands were
complied with the Spanish authorities would
at once proceed to take her by force. A
claim of $l20, 200 in gold was also put in by
way of indemnity, being the amount alleged
to have been expended for coal and other
necessaries while watching over the Hornet.
As no answer was given to this requisition,
meeting was subsequently held on the 18th
inst, composed of the Ministers of France,
England and America. Mr.. Bassett, the
American Minister, afterward proceeded to
President Sagefs palace for the purpose OF
having conference. But the President
being at Aux Cages, on his tour to the South,
Mr.. Bassett only saw the Minister of the In
terror During this interview Mr.. Bassett
claimed, on behalf of the American Govern
ment, that the Hornet was no pirate, and
consequently she had the right to claim full
protection as such American vessel, and in
his official capacity he should do his utmost
to shield her.
Tho Minister of the Interior, on behalf of
the Haytien Government, finally sent reply
to the Spaniards, stating that it was out of
his power to comply with the demand, the
Hornet being under foreign flag. The Dip
lomatic corps concurred in the Minister'S re-
fusal, and entered their protest. As soon as
this decision was given, the Spanish Consul
decided to haul down his flag, and sailed for
Cuba to obtain further instructions.
There is no American war-vessel in this
port. Every precaution has been taken by
the officers of the Hornet, and with the con-
sent OF the Haytien authorities she has been
hauled close in to the shore. 1t now remains
to be seen whether the Spanish authorities
will dare to further outrage the American
flag.

RLAIRS CONFESSION.

The speech Of General Frank z. Blair IS
in remarkable contrast with bis Broadhead
letter of 1868 Then he appealed 10 'he
extreme democratic sentiment, planting
himself upon its most ultra ideas as the
wav to success in the campaign then be-
gun; now he urges as the only hope OF
salvation in the impending presidential
contest, that the democratic party aban-
don its principles and take a republican as
a candidate.
This confession of weakness from q
prominent democrat of Blairs sangulne
temperament argues that he and his party
are in DESPAIR. The elections this fall have
fallen upon them with terrible force.
EVERYWHERE they behold signs of defeat
in 1872 1t is written SO plainly that the
neople have no confidence in the demo-
cratic party and will not trust it with
power that all men who are not stone
blind with prejudice can see and read it,
So even Blair says there must be a cast
ing aside of the principles of the party (al-
though he still believes in them), and a
republican must be nominated for Presi-
dent in the democratic convention in or.
der to give the strongest assurance that
they have abandoned their false gods, OF
they will have no possible chance of sue
cess. We commend this confession o.
Blair to his democratic friends. If they
can inform us of any similar confession o
a party by one of its most courageous
leaders just before the campaign com
menced, we should be pleased to be in
structed We think the instance is not OF
record.

Mr.. w. ID. Bancker has brought from
Chicago curious memorial of the great fire
Among the ruins of the Western News Com.
pany's establishment, where an immense
stock of periodicals and books were reduced
to ashes, there was found single leaf of a
quarto bible, charred around the edges. 1t
contained the first chapter of the lamentations
of 'Jeremiah, which opens with the fonbwing
words; ''How doth the city sit solitary that
was full of people how is she become as a
widow she that was great among the nations
and princess among the provinces, how is she
become tributary She weepeth sore in the
night, and her tears are on her checks: among
all her lovers she hath none to comfort her"
And this was the only fragment of literature
saved from the News Company's great depot.

An examination into the condition of the in

Chicago property reveals the fact that fifty
one are virtually insolvent or hopelessly EN-
barrassed, and that two or more will probably
be obliged to suspend. OF those reported in
solvent nearly one-half are in New York,
twelve in New England, five in Ohio, and one
in California. 1t is understood that there are
other companies which will find it difficult to
avoid insolvency, but hope to continue bust
ness.
