this right By the 7h article Of the treaty Of 1870
it was stipulated tina. the subjects and vessels Of
the two States should be subject to no embargo or
detention on the part Of each other, either for any
military expedition or any other private or public
motive - but this clause does not extend to ref1-

the Cuban authorities in their own waters, just af-

ship in the pors of New Orleans, il would be no
outrage to the British flag if the American aatho-

This question: however, will not be disposed Of BY

people and the political interests Of the two States

of this magnitude and importance to all the mari

pretend to be acquainted with the views OF our own
government upon this subject though it is evident
that the acquisition of the Havana by the naval
power of the United States would DO change whish
no British Minister could view with Indifference. Bat
the course which France may pursue is still more
obvious. Louis Napoleon has every indueement to
defend the interests Of Spain aud to strengthen the
relations between his own government Aud that OF

mourpful progress down Piccadiy, st. James
street, Pail mall, Charipg cross, the Strand, Fleet
street, and Ludgate hill, to the western door Of
st. Pauls Cathedral The Obscru says:-This
