dia fset had no reference Cuba has becn confirmed
by the representations OF Mr.. Champion, the British
Minister, 20 Mr. Marcy.
SO much pains have taken to deny tho statements
regarding the conference Of American Ministers at o.
ten that 10 proper these denals refer In
fact 10 the pretended statement OF the result Of the
ference, recently published in the Tes The statement
originally published in the HERALD that the result Of
the deliberations OF Messrs. Buchsnah, Mason, and
souie had ieen forwarded to Washington. and recon-
mended The administration at to declare our inten
ton Of purchasing taking Cuba Is literally correct,
and the fact admitted here and neither win be
DENIED by the Gnen or this result only OF
Importance in showing what Buchanan soule and Mason
think should be done.
With regard 10 the immediate acquisition of Cuba, 1t
is believed the administration is not prepared to press
IT; and unless should be preciptated BY the
action Of the Spanish government, It is not probable
the PRESIDENT viii make any recommendations regarding
II TO Congress. 1t ia stated In diplomatic circles here,
tina. Mr.. soule wiz be allowed to remain In Spain,
but that upon his arrival In Madrid his passports win
be handed him. and it is believed that IL is Ia conss
qrencc Of this determination the part Of the Spanish
government Icing known in Paris that the Emperor
waived his objections allowing Soule to pass through
France Bat If this should be the case, 1t would
of course afford cause Of war.
Mr. soue has very few friends here but even his enc
mics divided in their views to his return to the
United States. Mr.. Marcy and nearly al the Cabinet
would like to see him driven Of SPAIN because In such
an event they would be rid Of him. He would come
here as man who, having had the cards in his hands,
failed, and had further claims the administration
But Mr. sle1 who loves him less than Marcy does,
wishes him TO remain ia Europe till after the election Of
United States Senator in Louisiana, winter 6ouie
returns now, II is more than probable he would be sent
to the Senate in sdes place, after The Sd OF March
and this is consum nation Mr.. slden by no means de-
sires.
The result OF the Pennsylvania election determined
the President to make change In the cabinet and to
give Judge Campbell notice to quit. Before however
the change accomplished the elections in other
States showed that II the heads Of departments were
only to be selected from States which supported the
administration, that there could be cabinet ct all,
and hence ths&dea abandoned.
Mr. Forney Come time ago made up his mind to re-
sign the clerksp Of the House, and devote his whole
time to the editorial charge Of the Union Mr. Harvey
wattersop, formerly assistant editor Of the vnjo
accordingly addressed hundred letters to demo-
cratic members Of Congress- stating the fact that the
cerkshp would be vacant and asking their support for
himself candidate for the position Either the res
ponses not Hatterng for other cause, Mr.
Forney changed his resolution and now, much to the
chagyn OF Mr. Watterson he intends to remain in oee
and thus the administration beyond all posi-
blity of DANGER q friend in the Clerk Of the House.
