From the London News, Sep. III
The Morning Post appears to have spoken tho

The Post agrees with what we ourselves asserted,
that the Spanish authorities and forces in Cuba
quite equal to put down any attempt made by
voluhteer bands and private sympathisers, and that
vsrnment being compelled to take part in the strug

ever, acquts the central government Of any collu.
sion. 1t lays the blame the local government Of
Louisiana, which favored the expedition at the
time when all the ministers scattered in vaca-
tion and recreation, none at Washington, and the
powers Of the central government thus in abeyancc
for the moment. 1t points out the difference be-

nothing but land frontier to cross to get at the
latter, and therefore it being out Of the power Of
the American government to prevent aggression
and invasion. From all these circumstances, the
official Post draws the conclusion that there is no
need Of Englands interfering for the present, the
question of its doing 80 or not being for future
consideration, not present decision.
The Times is not satisfied with the dlatory mode
of viewing the struggle According to it, the ap
parent indifference Il the British authorities en-
boldens" the adventurers. The fises asserts, that
England is as much threatened as Spain, because il
the Southern States annex Cuba, the Nor .hern
States can only restore the balance by annoxing
Canada, and moreover, that Jamaic, must become
Yankee land, if Cuba does. i. is therefore recon-
mended, that England and France bring the cabi
net at Washington forthwith to book, for permit.
promise for the future that will set all anxetes for
Cuba at rest.
We must own we prefer the policy of our waiting
and doing nothing, The present cabinet, supported
by the wings, will do its utmost to prevent the
quest Of Cuba If it do this Of its own free, Amer
WILL it may gather strength and respect to its
party in tho coming Presidential election Bat let
it be known that there is an Anglo French note me-
nsciDg hostilities, and covering Cuba with Euro
pean dgts, and Immediately the wings aud peace
party lose power and prestige. popular cry Is
raised az anst foreign dictation and Interference
and we shall have precipitated that which we must
seek to avoid.
Any threats of ours will but embarriss the CEN
tral government, without in the least restraining or
intmidating the local authorities in the Southern
States. If our threats or defamation were to be
followed up by the stationing OF combined Gees to
protect the Havana ard Cuba permanently, the
GO head party would no doubt divert their efforts
from expeditions to an anti-Europoaa move Eent
and war, ofwhich Canada would inevitably be the
first aim and field. But threats without these pre-
cautions or this assistance, would have eifect
on the buccaneers of New Orleans or
Charleston. Success in an expedition would be al
in all to them; and whether their success gave rise

indifference, or perhaps, indeed, of joy ut the
In this should they have succeeded, England would
be bound to crafty them, or else humble itself by
sneaking out Of war which it had idly and gratu-
itously threatened.
1t is not by threatening the Americans that We
can best save the ndepe ndenee Of Cuba but by in
dIcing the Spaniards to treat Cuba as 1t Is indis
pensable for European powers to treat colonies in
these advanced days. At present all the aids and
ele nents OF civilization and prosperity come to
Cuba from America. The Americans have made
their railroads, improved their sugar cultivation,
and not only set the example, but breathed the
mainter ance of her military absolutisni, and the
exclusion Of natives and oreoles from every trust,
every freedom, every emo!uInent. The liberals of
Cuba look no longer to US, but 10 America. Per-
haPs the crcoes are too far gone in hatredto spain
ever TO be recalled to loyalty towards 1t. Still
spain has it in her power to call to her aid tho
negro population. BY measure gradually cnan
cipatipg them, Spain might at once defy creolos
thorty in the island in despite Of the planters Of
the isand or OF the neighboring continent.
When n nation or govern have thus the
means in their OWE hands 10 secure and protect
themselves, We do not zee that other countries are
either called upon or warranted 10 incur enmity or
risk war in their behalf. Spain, by good and lbe-
raj government. and by very obvious policy, can
render Cuba unstiaekable. We have nothing to
do but to point cut to Spain the way, and leave
her to her fate il she win no. pursue it. As for
fighting for Canada, or Jamaica in Cuba, that is
We are vol able 70 defend our own,
when attacked, without falling, in regard to tho
Now World, into those blunders which We CON-
mitted in Europe, incurring mountains Of debt 70
support the iLdt peRdence Of Austria ono day, and
Spain the next with the idea that we were CON-
batting for our own independcnee by paying Eu-
rorean powers to stand out and tight for theirs.
The most salu.sry doctrine We can impress upon
spain Is that Of selfrelance. As long a. Donna
Isabella leans on England for maintaining her
sovereignty in Cuba, and on Franco for upholding
her throne In Madrid, so long will she neglect pub
lie opinion in boh countries, and continue to mis-
rule both.
