Inc United States nail steamship Empire City CAPTAIN
Wends arrived yesterday morning. from New Orleans and
Havana. She arrived at Hayana the 29th ut NJ
and left st r. n, same day.
We indebted to Mr. R. Craig the pdrser Of the Em-
pire City, for hte intelligence and papers.
The passengers Of the Empire City report that tho
Shaving bark Lady Suffolk had succeeded ins landing near
Matapza the d previous to the arrival of the steamer
cargo Of six hundred slaves 1t will be recolleced that
the departure Of this vessel from Cuba for the coast of
Africa, caused much talk time back She was bat at

crew, who on her arrival in Cuba were discharged and
replaced by Spanish captain and crew. and shortly after
sailed for Africa. Some proceedings taken there
against Capt. Gray, her former commander who with his

The D1osfo de Ia Marina devotss three etoria articles
IN its issues Of the 22d 2Sd and Oath Of April to the dis
cussion Of the appointment Of Mr. Soue as United States
Minter at Madrid In its Hrst article the Daro states
ts belief that notwithstanding Mr. Soules antecedents
he win conduct himself according to the best diplomatic
aditions and asks him to recolect and profit by the
examples of the treatment of Mr. De Salvandy and Sir
Edward Lytton Bulwer. We respect-it continues-the
government Of the Aneo-American republic too much
not to credit its recent legal and friendly declarations
do believe that its representative would forget
himself so far 10 infringe the instructions he may
ceive The prebability-nay, the certantyis tbst Mr.
Soue will receive decent for the expenses Of voy
age ard installation viii enjoy himself suits his taste
win draw his fine salary in all tranquility enjoying the
otium cam di0mtate of his new position.
In its hexs article, the Diario says -" Indeed Mr.
Soue is European by birth and education az we believe
he sufficiently grown when the political vcssitudes
of France moved him to seek asylum in the New World
During his long residence in the United St.es he will
bave tempered himself much possible to the cha
rac'er Of the country and of the inhabitants; still
it is not impossible to discover in the speeches opn
ions of the xSenaor of louisiana and present dplo
many ves2es and tastes of the European democ.
Iacy very different certainly in form, and SUBJ
stance, from those which his Anglo American religion
sts profess But be that it may the substance still
suhssts."
Further on it ssys:--At the first word that the new
representative Of the United States in Madrid may utter
respecting negotiations for the purchase island OF
Cuba and the energetic coldness of the repuse he will
receive he would acquire the conviction of how wild
visionary such project is. The unanmity Of sentiment
In this country IL, in this matter amazing and IL auy
public Of Spain should he wanting in national
instinct-a pure mpossbility self respect. and
regard for his and existence would prevent him
giving publicity to bis weasness Interest and honor
which weigh stil heaser in the baance-dictate to
to defend resolu ely the integrity territory
In its third article the Didrio treats the matter
lightly and ssysWe suppose that the nomination Of
Mr. Soule is reduced to the concession of good
post for political friend who is in need OF it, and who
had worked with ardor In the recent election pagu
for which he deserved reward according the ways
and customs OF that county Such is the Specification
that give it, neither less because any other
hypothesis would inyose against the government Of
Washington accusation Of evident namy in the
agement Of its affairs.
