Lord Palmcrslon replied, that ho was not
able To state the precise condition of tie ne.
gocialion, hut the question was ono of great
interest aud considerable difficulty. The
slave states in the south of the American
Cniun had passed laws which he should Tor
bear from clmracterising, hut the result oi
which was, that any man Of color belongng

OF course, these proceedings on the part

From the London Timcs,
Cuba

The petition from ihe ladies' of Kingston
aud its vicinity, in the Island of Innnicn,
presented lo the House OF Lords last night
by Lord Carlisle, will probably lie disposed
of by the planters OF Cuba with very short
comment IL ouly expresses, they will say,
the disappointment of those who tlO not find
virtue its own reward, aud who caunot com
pei on the rest of munkinl their own ca
pricious model of duty.
Cubn is attached TO the European com
monwenlll ofnalious, aud has the benefit of
all that jealOusiy with which we regard one
anOlher's movements, md respect one anoth-
er's interests. But these privileges nre en-
joyed through the medium uf n State which
lns long ceased TO associate privilege with
duty. Spain is the mogni nominiS umbrd, hut
the shadow of great name is enough pro-
lection for that vile aud nercenary traffic of
which Cula is the last refuge. II is a usual
thing that lnse aud unlawful professions ure
carried on under some title which, if not
quite honorable, is nt least recognized. lfn
person receives stolen goods, or carries on
conlraband manufacture, or pandprs to vice,
he has generally some licensed trade over
his shop, or some lawful pretense in his Rec
oinmendatory letters. Spain is precisely
this convenience 10 Cuba. Question Cuba
what she is, and she answers that she is
colony of Spain. From Spain she receives
her laws, her Captain General, her military
commissions, and all the other outward mp
paratus of decent civil state. But under tIlis
plausible guise she is a kidnapper, u slave
dealer, pirate, n murderer the tormentor
aud destroyer of innocent myriuds.
Her relation TO Sl,ain is that Of Donald
Bean Lean 10 Feargus M'Ivor Under pre-
tense of clunship aud flmsy viel of Jaco-
biiism the outlaw carried off cattle, waylnid
travellers, and when il is necessary, did not
even spare life. lie only obeyed his chief as
fur MS il WAS profitable, and was only iOlera-
ted while it was necessary, hut the result
showed that neither party gained much 10y
compact IN which those Two parties alone
were considered. In the present instance
the vain, dreamy, unscrupulOus chef and the
utterly unprincipled dependent viii certainly
fire as i'll MS their counterpar!s in the High
lnnd story. They choose TO defy modern
civilization, aud must stand the consequent
ces.
Lord Clarendon undertakes that nothing
shall he wanting on our purt to bring Spain
10 her duty, aud even hopes that someIlIig
has heen done already; that the present
Captain General has received stringent or.
ders from Madriil, aud is going beyond the
letter ofthe law in the yindicaliou Of justice
and the performance of treaties. We could
wish il were so hut the same promises
have often been made before, and the Sc
qnel has always shown that Spain is State
of which nothing can be promised, seeing
that she is too weak to perform her own
promises. .., ..-......
In fact, who are the people Of Cuba Tint
shelter their crimes under the Dnme of Spnin?
They are unscrupulous men from several
nations 1.-THE oulcasts of Spanish society,

to its father. This it accordingly did so long
as il was in the presence of Jane Porter and
