The Manifest Duties OF America.
[From the London Times, Jan. %.
We published yesterday a correspondence of re-
markable interest between the government of the
United States and certain European powers on the
subject OF Cuba, and the communications in question
became the more instructive from the illustration
WHICH tucy TeCtlVcU Dy u contemporary OeDatc In
the American Senate. 1t will be remembered that
in the course of last summer Overtures were made
by Lord Malmesbury to the government of the Union
for final settlement of the Cuban question, by
three powers affecting any concern in the result.
Az TO countries but Great Britain France and the
United States pretended to any interest in the pro-
prietorshp of the island and each of these States
in the possession Of any power but Spain it appeared
to follow that convention between these parties,
discaiming any ambitious intentions for themselves,
and jointly undertaking to dscountenance any such
lousies and most eectually establish that Spanish
title with which all protested to be satisfied This
proposal was not accepted by the United States and
the reasons Of that government for refusing its
tive in the dispatches to which we refer. At the
same moment, General Cass had introduced to the
notice Of the Senate resolution of his own directed
particularly to the affairs of Central America, but
embracing in its full extent the general question OF
European interests in the Transatlantic world.
The elaborate and circumstantal despatch in
which Mr. Everett justies the refusal of his govern
ment to concur in the proposals of France and
could have been made for the policy in question II
confesses with unusual candor the Interior expecta-
tons of the American people, refers to what is
termed "the destiny of the Union in temperate Ian
guage, and dissects the probable results OF the
vention suggested with what we must admit to be
considerable success. 1t would he absurd to deny,
that by the proposed remuneration the sacrifice Of the
United States would be greater and more sensible
than that of the other contracting powers. AS it
can be affirmed with perfect sincerity that neither
Great Britain nor France desires, has ever desired
the possession of Cuba and az this possession even
if obtained, must certainly be far less productive to
either of those States than to the States of the
Union, it follows, of course, that the two European
governments would have lost nothing by the execu-
ton of the convention, whereas the American gov
eminent would have surrendered whatever prospects
it might entertain. We are quite prepared also to
ut the mouth of that gulf which receives the
mighty rivers of the United States and the pro-
bable developement of SO young and so powerful
a nation, the acquisition OF the island at
into the visions of American statesmen. If
Americans had never said either less or more than
MIR. Everett now says for them-if they had confined
their own views to the ordinary chances of the future
