Wasiuncton. Monday. April 9. | The President really has determined to make a demonstration atgainst Spain at last. The selection of Commodore McCauley to coro<mand the Gulf Squadron is signitijeant, and the rumors of an increase !of the squadron, which I gave you sometime since, are all confirmed. lA* strong a naval force as can be ! spared for the purpose, has been ordered to cruize in the neighborhood of Cuba, in the track of our steamers, I and future insults to our flag seem likely to be promptly redressed. Captain General Concha is much! frightened about the El Dorado affair, j and makes all the apologies in his ! power. The President has taken very 1 decided ground in that matter, and assumed the responsibility of carrying out his own views of the measiure proper to be adopted. These, you may rest assured, are vigorous j and extreme. It seems that not only the El Dorado and the Daniel Webster have been brought to on the high seas by Spanish cruisers within the last month or two, but the Illinois, also; i was served the same way not long ! ago. She did not report the fact, [ however, —such outrages, without i atonement, having become too com- | inon to be deemed, in the estimation i of her officers, worthy of notice. ! There will be trouble with Spain . soon, unless, with the usual pusillan- ! unity of insolent imbecility, she tumj bles to her knees at the first exhibiI tion of spirit on the part of the United States. Prompt atonement will doubtless be made for the outrages doubtless, in the case of other ves-

- - 1 ■ sels. The Spamah naval commanders rejoicing in this opportunity of indulging their hatred of‘los Yankees,’ will doubtless insist that they cannot perform their duty without firing a shot at our passing steamers, and pursuing their insulting search. They will probably,therefore, quite disregard Concha’s frightened exhortations to greater propriety; but the next time a Spanish cruiser brings to one of our mail steamers on the high seas, it is intended that a United States war vessel shall be near enough to partisipate in the entertainment by pouring her broadside into the Spanish forthwith.— mark the truth of this. The instructions to McCauley will confirm what I say whenever they are made public. Such demonstration will make an issue not to be evaded; and we shall then learn the true protectorate of Spain maintained by England and France. What a capital privateer fleet our Cuban Filibusters would fit out in the event of a war with Spain, arising out of these events. Mr. Marcy is very backward about going into this business; so is Mr. j Cushing. Messrs. Guthrie and Mc- | Clellan j are also understood to oppose extreme measures. But the President has acted on liis own impulses, although only Mr. Davis and Mr. Babin warmly approve his course.

[TTPThk Boston Atlas aptly characterises the late “Poolish” demonstration in New York as the "apotheosis of blackguardism.’ ft was hoped, when this miserable affair occurred, when some oT tlie scoundrel parties were shpt, and others of them compelled to fly from the city, that New I York might consider herself well rid !of a nuisance more noxious than the garbage in her streets or the stench of her slaughter houses. But the turn which the affair has taken will make matters worse and worse.— Where she had one bully before, she will have twenty now. Pugalism and the pistol, shoulder-hitting, gouging, and maiming, have been elevated into the heroic. The young lad who reads the Herald and Express, will learn that to be a bully is to be a public character; that vice will bring a fame seldom, alas! accorded to virtue; that he will be wept for if he falls fighting, and duly reported if he lives to fight again. He will dis- “ cover that brawny muscle is better > than brains, that grog-shops, cockpits, and gambling hells are the propper theaters for manly action, and that society saves its sympathy for defunct boxers and departed assassins. New York to-day,is firli of suckling Pools and juvenile Morrisseys whose future exploits will certainly crowd the columns of future | newspapers. , *
