Remarks OF the Madrid Papers upon Mr.
Webster's Letter.

TRANSLATED FOR n. " COURIER ASp ENQUIRER
From "El Orden" Of December II.
Yesterday the Gacsia, the government official
gazette, published important documents, from
which il appears that the Government of the Uni
ted States have at last determined 10 give Us the
satisfaction which We had a right TO expect The
note sent by Mr.. Webster TO Don Angel Calderou
lie la Bafca is a document worthy OF that ccle
brated statesman, who occupies station in his
own country high the reputation which he
has gained in all the civilized countries of Europe;
worthy, indeed, OF that civilized and powerful Re
public, whose Government could not have regarded
with indifference the outtages committed in New
Orleans by handful OF banditti against our con-
sui, and various other Spanish subjects, In conse
quence of the news received from Cuba, in
tempt of the law Of nations and the express stipu
lations Of treaties.
From "LG Espaaa."
One thing Is worthy Of remark in Mr.. Webster's
communication, beside the reparation made. We
aude 20 ite style, the sound principles ii contains,
and its tone, which is both decorous full Of sim
cerity, and free from the ill timed egotstica ha-
rangues which were much 70 be apprehendcd,
even in such case, from the nfexible Anglo
American character. That reparation would be
given hardly seemed doubtful, in view Of the
greatness OF the offence; bat what We thought less
probable was, that the Government of the United
States would add, of their own ascord, this crown
of all roparatious, the spontaneous and frank ex-
prcasiOn of tho sentiments which appear, at the
hrst glance, in the letter of MIR. Webster 1t gives
pleasure to pay this debt OF justice TO the states
man against whom, on other occssions, we have
made charges and heavy accusations.
From "La Naeion," tho Journal Of Progress.

moogical dictionary of the English language

uiactories Of the beautiful city OF Boston, in the
States OF New England, in his present oice Of Sec
rotary OF State ot the Anglo American Republic,
/ has answered the Just claims OF our government
/ for the cxcesscs committed in New Orleans against
the house of the consul Of Spain and the property
Of certain individuals subjects Of her Catholic
! jesty, residing in that city.
| The note Of the Hon. Daniel Webster 10 couched
In conveniently diplomatic terIns; and in points
which arc not closely connected with international
jurisprudence. Mr.. Webster spcaks 20 our plcni-
| potentiary with much gallantry and historical
eruditiOn az courticr Of the time OF Louis l4th
Of France but which, cOnfcssing that the conduct
Of the mob in Louisiana admits Of no justification,
he endeavors 20 excuse their exercise against our
consul, citizens, and flag, because the news from
| Cuba was calculated 10 create n popular excite
mcnt. lie avails himself Of this Circumstance, not
TO erculpate tho mob in any manner, bat TO give
tothc Spanish government a short lecture on the
manner Of judging Of all sorts Of crimes; and al.
legcs very sensible the custom in his country OF
deliberately and minutely investigating the dcserts
1 Of a criminal before his sentence is pronounced
however great It may seem or enormous II may
| be.
II ia remarkable that, in the note Of the Hon. Mr.
Webster, not a gle word IL said that might tran
quiilize the Spanish government concerning the
srming or cquipping Of any future expeditions
| against the integrity Of our territory and sove.
! rcignty in the Antilles.
Very opportunely they salute NJ Iabordc, and
the Spanish flag, sc; but this does not signify
that the iiibu'ters, who abound in that Union, viii
Time will show very soon that we arc not mis-
taken in our prophecy, that the nation cannot re
gard "a satisfactory the solution given TO the DIFF.
lerences raised by events IN Cuba and Nep Or
I leans between Spain and the United States.
From "E1 Constifuconol."
The government we infer, highly felicitatcs it
self on the manner in which this busincss has ter
minated, and thinks a more decided aud desrou
solution could not have been made We are ycrJ
far from considering the question in the samt
light. The satisfaction given is very fa
from corresponding to the insult offered, and th,
Naturalization FOR material losses caused by th'
unbridlcd disturbances Of New Orleans, which j
one OF The important points Of the negotiation re
mains problem. Even supposine tha
the courts act with all imparality that the court
Of a country which declared Lopez innocent in hi
fret attempt, and where the cause II annexation
s popular, should DO severe justice how arc the in
Jurcd 10 prove the identity Of those who injured
themy The Spaniards will be left NOR
injured by Yankee bafbarity than If they ha,
been entirely denied reparation.
