CUBA AND IIAYTI.

The state of affairs in both the great West India isrands
is by no means favourable to the preservation of the status
quo. From Cuba General Dulce announces that he is
gaining ground, but private advices tell a different tale.
When the insurrection first broke out it did not number
200 men of all classes, but it spread like a prairie fire ;
numbers of slaves have naturally joined the movement,
and the insurgents aro still masters of the greater
part of the island. They retreat systematically when
attacked, and are now committing outrages. It is agreed
that the Spaniards must win back the island soon, or it will
be lost. A war at such a distance cannot long be kept up.
From Hayti comes the intelligence that the inhabitants of
the whole island express unmistakeably their desire to be
annexed to the United States, and it is shrewdly suspected
that a Legislature which sanctioned the payment of seven
millions of dollars in gold for such a wilderness as
Alaska will not object to a much more advantageous
bargain.
