Tho Spanish Difficulty.

We find the following despatch from this city,
dated yesterday, in the Baltimore Sun Of this
morning:
"We learn from undoubted sources that the
Spanish Minister to-day demanded, under in
structions, that our Government invite back the
Spanish Consul to New Orleans, bring him there
In an American naval vessel, salute his consulate
flag, restore his effects, and those Of the other
Spaniards destroyed in the late riots, or Calde-
ron de 10 Barca, the Spanish Minister, will de-
mand his.passports. 1t is understood that Mr..
Webster has promptly refused to comply with
these demands"
We have to add an important fact bearing on
the above, and on which reliance may be placed.
1t il, that our Government is in possession Of
the proofs that, firstly, no trial of Criaenden and
his men had; and, secondly, the bodies Of a
portion Of them Vere mutilated after DEATH
In view Of all this, Spain. can make few de-
mands upon our Government that will be likely
TO meet with favor; and although we are as
sured she is prepared to do us sundry serious
evils, we do not think our position is therefore
one ofvery great peril. In any contest she may
bring about with us, it is not likely the aid Of
France and England will be successfully in
voked by her-partly because Of their indispo-
siton to interfere, and partly because they both
have other matters to attend to. And Spain
herself would not be very formidable antago-
mist She is as helpless as she is infatuated
with the idea Of her prowess.
The London Tines, in o late review Of he
resources, remarks:
"The home army, previous to the late ex
portation Of troops to Cuba, consisted Of abou
100 900 men, and embodied all manner o
worthless stuff, including the gen Farmerie, oil
military police and perhaps the calculation
would Halter, were we to set down the actua
military force OF the monarchy, at home anc
abroad, much within the limit we have nance
for the domestic establishment. Add to thes,
considerations the fact that government bond.
are the capital stock Of English spectators
and that the national obligations are so enor
nous as to require the permission Of the Eng
ish broker before declaration Of war can bt
issued, and we have several serious obstacles t.
hostilities."
We would prefer condition Of peace, but in
contest between American freedom and Span
ish monarchy we should have few regrets. II
might be found means Of preparing, perhaps,
the darkest region Of Europe for republican
government at as early an hour as the mos
enlightened shall be prepared to espouse it O
Its own accord.

evening, at the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, on Eighth street After some remarks
by Mr.. Pascoe in relation to the recent estab-

Church in which the meeting was held, the
offering up Of prayer by Rev. DIR. Junkin, and
the singing Of appropriate pieces by the schools
Of WESLEY Chapel and the Fourth Presbyterian
Church, Mr.. J. G. Hardness offered resolution
recommending 70 the several schools composing
the Union the formation Of Sabbath School tenn
psranee societies, and setting apart one meeting
Of the Union In each quarter for the especial
consideration Of the subject Of temperance, to

Gated its adoption, and Messrs. Wilson and

Kossuth ana England.


His reception has been highly gratifying. Hi
speeches have carried captive the public admi
ration, and the people and the aristocracy units
in honoring him. Nowhere does the voice o
disapprobation arise--nowhere does the lip Of
the proud curl in contempt at the man who
would have poor men for his friends Repub-
leans alone can be led into the wiss Of impe-
rial tyranny-they alone can traduce and con-
tenn the great leader Of ga people who are not
fit for selfgovernment." 1t has been said that
any people may be trusted with freedom who
dare fight for it, II SO, the deserts of the Hun
garians have not yet to be proved
We shall see Kossuth about the last Of next
week and after he shall have penitentially
Frustrated himself before q portion Of the edi
tors of old fogeydom, we shall give him q cheer
or two!
The New York Herald well and truly says
In reply to toasts and addresses, he delivered
several speeches, which are both eloquent and
perspicuous. From them we learn the real
sentiments Of Kossuth concerning public mat
tiers and governments. He is at present no re-
publican he is in favor Of constitutional mon
archy as it exists in England, and is opposed to
socialism. Many Of the American people will
be disappointed at this, but we are not so in
the least. A man cannot become republican,
in the American sense Of the term, in day.
To be republican requires experience and ed
ucation under republic. Were Kossuth, with
his present inexperience, to announce himself q
republican, as we understand it, we would be
inclined to look upon him as visionary-as
an ADMINISTRATION than as a practical man,
which we take him to be. He is in favor Of
constitutional monarchy. And who would not
embrace such o form of government, rather than
despotism-and Austrian despotism especially.
Kossuth sees the comparative liberty there i,
enjoyed in England under the one, and the alb
solute tyranny which the people of Germany
suffer under the other. Why, therefore, should
he not say he was in favor Of constitutional
monarchy? 1t is the first step towards repub
licanism. We do not despair of yet hearing
from Kossuth's lips that he is a republican.
When he arrives in this country, and sees the
beautiful and harmonious working of our system
Of government, he will be converted, and viii
as much prefer it to constitutional monarchy as
he now does constitutional monarchy to despot-
ism. In avoiding the socialists, and refusing to
accept banquet from the English radicals,
Kossuth has shown wisdom, while he has disap-
pointed the former, who expected to find him q
red republican Of the deepest tinge. 1t is to
be hoped he viii exhibit similar discrimination
when he arrives on our shores.
