4 WASHINGTON. q
Thereported defnitive settlement of the Blacl
Warrior case will have little effect upon tn,
policy Of the Administration in regard to tn,
speedy acquisition of Cuba. The Black Warrior
case was not of itself an adequate or even promi
nent cause of war. The coSus belH was made
out without that, and stands now without apy
change, and certainly without any retractior
on the part Of our Government of their demands
These demands are, that the Colonial Govern.
ment be subverted, or be so changed as to be
rendered in regard to all questions arising with
the United States, independent of the home
government. This would be equivalent to n
recognition of the independence of Cuba and is
just what Spain proposes to refuse to do. Then,
again, the head and front of offence is the Afri.
canzatlon scheme, which, although disclaimed
by Spain and the Cuban Governor, is still
4 alleged ~ our Government to be in actual pro-
cess of execution.
The application to Congress for provision for
the appointment Of Commissioners to Spain will
certainly be made, Notwithstanding the adjust
ment OF, this trlt1lng revenue question The
PRESIDENT Will also, without doubt, again ask

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says:
am very happy to inform you that the
flshlng Treaty between the United States and
England is nearly completed All the points
are, IN fact, essentially agreed upon. Lord Ell
GIN Will not leave Washington till the treaty is
signed, which will require not only the ratifca-
Ton OF the Senate, but corresponding act of the
- ~ ~ S7SItdtlfSS. ut treaty, which IS
an advantageous and at the same time lust one,
will no doubt be ratified, and an act Of Congress-
VIII make our revenue laws conform to it.
'sThe President, having shown his determin- |
alton to protect Cuba from fhbusters, will ask |
Congress in quiet manner for an appropria- |
ton, which may be inserted in the civil and |
diplomatic appropriation bill, to send out COM |
nssoners to Spain to negotiate for the acouisi |
Llon Of the island. The President cannot an.
point these commissioners while Congress is in
session without the consent of Congress, and the
advice and consent of the Senate; but he NAV I

,sts OF the country require it. The Hon. G. M
