Speaking on the subject Of the invasion OF Portu-
gal, the N. Y. Commercial says" We cannot
iorbear repeat, by way ofa caution against the ev
er-wakeful spirit of speculation that in our opinion
there will be nothing more than the mmicry Of war,
for a very short season Unless backed by France,
Spain car.not make war; she cannot move Of her
self and we can perceiv. no substantial reason
for supposing that France has had any hand in the
movement of Spain against Portugal. Ne'erthe-
less. war may grow out of the existing difficulties
and Eng and may avail herself OF the occasion to
seize upon Cuba. Upon this point government
must not slumber. We repeat wha, we have said
on former occasion: The United States must not
alow Cuba to pass into the hands Of any other for
eign po,cer. If the island is to change masters,
those masters must be ourselves"

Great Britain may incline to the side of the
king, the aristocracy, or the people, each of
whom have separate, and. generally, incompati-

that country is always advantageous and neces-

opposition here, therefore, can have no othe:

power do not neglect the public interests -
Those in power will no, openly and purposey
neglect them, for their own sakes; and if they
are opposed right or wrong, and the opposition
is at all effec,ual, the people will eventually be
the only sufferers.
But an appeal to the opposition, in behalf Of
the people, would, ofcourse. be frui,less; and i,
is well that there is no urgent necessity for it,
