The Cabinet session to-day was brief.
The subject of the recapture ofthe schooner
Horton was not mentioned. There was
conversation in relation to the Hornet.
Our goydrnment sustains the course of Min
lister Barrett in his complaint to the Hayti
government of breach of neutral rights by
the Spaniards in his case, and has, through
the Secretary of State, informed the Spanish
Minister of its views on the subject. What
ever offense the Hornet may lave commit

States, is considered question to be settled
by the authorities of this country on proper
proofs, especially as she carries the Ameri-
can flag, and therefore possesses national
character. The government sees no neces-
sity for the use of force, as the entire mat
ter is undergoing peaceable adjustment.
