Lewis on his left hand Quite number of senators and
representatives. also in attendance.
Many happy speeches were made, and pointed sent
ments drunk. 1t had been whispered that the con

The SALE OF CuBA-The subject Of the sale of Cuba
to this government is attracting considerable attention IN
Europe and TIE Madrid correspondent of the London
Morning Chronicle writes follows, while speaking of
the difficulties of the Spanish government and the means
of relief it possesses
"There is still another from which doubtless
large means might be easily derived and persons who
look matters in the face disposed to think that the
time will come when those resources must be made use
of in spite of high. flown sentiments about ancient
onal glores, &c. aude to the alienation'of of
the Spanish colonies, and particularly of Cuba. Senior
Pda said the other day that Spain might possibly lose
Cuba by the DEGREES of fate but she would voun-
arily ALLEVIATE it But the national gores that sup
posed to be so much bound up in the maintenance Of
Spanish conneyion with Cuba somewhat furnished in
the opinion of most people out of Spain, by the latter
redeemng her engagements to her foreign creditors
and Spain, with her foreign debt in process Of being paid
off, would stand much higher, though with or Two
colonies less, than she does at present
"The net income derived by the state from Cuba does
not exceed, | hear from authentic source more
than thirty millions of reas-one and half millions OF
dollars. Now if Jonathan would give hundred and
fifty millions of dollars for the purchase it certainly APP
pears good price, and would go long way towards
edeening the foreign debt, according to equitable
arrangement"
