1t is stated in well Informed quarters here,
that up to the preset time, the government
has received no official confirmation of the
rumortd agreement between England and
spain for the adjustment Of slavery in the
Island of Cuba; but al the same time, very
little doubt is felt as to the reliability OF the
information on this subject published in the
Herald There can be ne question, from the
manner in which the intelligence has been
received here, but that the President will
take high grounds against the whole proceed
ings 1t is by far The most important move
ment which has taken place for years, affect
ing as it will, if permitted 10 be carried out,
not only American interests generally, but
the lives as well as property of the people of
the Southern States. 1t is not improbable
that such evidences Of bad faith OH the part
Of both England and Spain may materially
hasten the destiny of Cuba. Even if the
general government felt disposed to permit
this uuderhand policy of England to 20 on,
which it has no disposition whatever 20 do,
the Southern States alone would be sufficient.
in spite Of the efforts of the federal admins

tiges ofSpansh power. 1t will however be
found, that President Pierce wi be fully up

There are few, we presume, who

for the reputation of our State and the
honor Of its legislature, if the course
of the latter, for a year past, were
