ing information:
Wi.l' grea, satisfaction may inform
you that. the negotiation with Spain,
through the Spanish Minister, Don Il.
Caldcron dc la Barca, is about to come to
a favorable conclusion. Tie President has
tinal!y concGrrcd in oil the views taken by
Mr. Webster on the subject of The proper,
mode and extent Of the redress due to
Spah'. Snthe Of tho formalties suggested
ly Mr. Caldcrup, and which have been the
subject OF much unnecessary remark in the
newspapers, were objected to by Mr.. Web.
stcr, and the President suslai,s him in
ti''sc objections. But in the propositions
tlmt Mr.. Webster recommended tile Prcs.
dent collcurs.
Distinct ovcrtures nrc now, therefore,
made to MIR. Calderoli, and they are sup
posed tG be Of such a character that will
meet oil the views OF his Government. and
which will be unobjectionabia 10 the Amc.
rican public. What is Offered cunno, be
considered as too much; hut on the co,,,ra.
ry, II is as little as wc can possibly offer as
rcparaton to un insultcd Government and
nation. The overturcs are now before Mr..
Caideron, and il is presumed that he will
accept them. He may require some mod
llica!ions, but none that will be nconsist-
cnt with the views Of this Government
In lew days. therefore, we may hail with
pleasure, a restoration OF friendly relations
with Spain. The immediate consequence
will be the restoration OF tho American
prisoners, aud tic abandonment of proceed:
"gs against Mr.. Thrasilcr, all Americans
who have been suspected OF having, any
connection with the late attempt at insur-
rccllon in Cuba.
