THR RELATIONS OF SPAIN, CUBA, AND THE UNITED
SrAYRs-The relations between the United States
and Spain, in connection with the dependent
Island OF Cuba, are only second In Importance
with those which this country maintains with any
Independent foreign power Our trade with Cuba,
as dependency OF Spain, is immense. Bat the
relationship which exists IN social point OF view,
with the Southern States, is OF the most curious
and rem arkable which could exist between this
country and any foreign dependency.
Upon this important subject, we have received
communication from Havana, the capital Of Cuba,
which will be found in another part of our columns
giving view of the relations existing between the
two countries, and Of the state OF society In Cuba,
In connection with the sentiments Of the Spanish
government, which appears somewhat novel, and
different to former intelligence from that quarter
The source from which our information comes
Is undoubtedly reliable and Intelligent. One thing
Strikes US as evidently desirable, which Is,
that the new administration will, in making any
changes in our diplomacy with Madrid, not forget
to place in that important post man OF the high
est character and most experienced talents, and
withal acquainted somewhat with the Spanish
character and its diplomacy In general.
According to all accounts, the present Minister
10 Madrid is altogether untitled, both by education
talents and former experience, for the position he
occupies. But some names have been mentioned
In connexion with the Spanish mission, which
would seem to be but little removed, in point of
qualifications, from that OF the present incumbent
Very important questions will some Of these days
spring up between the United States and Spain,
in connection with the island of Cuba, and our
government ought to send to Madrid man OF
the highest qualifications and merit, and not
one merely as reward for political services of
any kind.

The Pacheco Slave Case.

The heirs of Pacheco have come into Congress
with claim for the value of a slave, lost in the
Florida War, estimated at $1,000 This slave
was hired to us Officer. ran away, fought with
the Indians, was caught and sent West.
Congress has consumed several days in the dis
cussion of the question. We have no means of
ascertaining the exact amount but say five days.
Each day costs the people over $1,000, aud five
days over $4,000. This is the very lowest est.
mate.
The end ofthe whole matter will be that the
people will pay twenty times the value of the
slave, for which they ought not to pay the first
dime.
