Greek Merchants Of London Rejoicing at the Successes Of

Adpice 10 Foreigners.
1t has been represented to that many Of the Greek
merchants resident in London who probably owe their
lives and certainly their fortunes the protection they
have enjoyed under the British flag have far forgotten
themselves and their position give vent their
satisfaction at the result OF the late oray of the Russians
in most indecent manner. We have desire that these
gentlemen should be exposed any injury in consequence
of their political opinons they free to cast in their
lot with the Gar Nicholas with Queen Victoria but if
such be their resolution let them betake themselves

of their enemies

capital city raised the bloody fate of braves

wealth and security they enjoy Setting all ideas of de-
ccDcy and propety out OF question: ut least for their

of satisfaction reposed We feel very sure confidence
that many days have elapsed the sympahers with the

AMtici pated rupture with Spain.
WAsHlNGros. Nav 10.

The eminent danger of war with Spain
cannot be over estimated II is believed
that before thirty days we will reach a
crisis which will call for the most urgent
measures. We do not believe tina, Mr..
Soule set on, with any intention of pres
sing matters to tins extreme, but that the
instructions with which he was armed
were based upon the idea that Spain
would be frightened into, listening to the
proposition for the purchase OF Cuba.
Private letters have been received here
stating tha, Mr.. Soule had lost the good
graces Of the fickle Queen of Spain, who
is completely in the hands of ner cabinet.
AS for the cabinet, they are represented
as the supple instruments of England
and France bu, not only the purchase
of Cuba, bu, also the acquiescense oI
Spain in the demands so strongly put
forth by the United States, seem further
off than ever. On the other hand Mr.
Soule has established the most friendly
relation with the Queen Mother, and she
is as warmly in favor of the sale oi Gu
ba, as the Queen and her minister are
opposed to it. Thus the matter stands
and as long as the present Spanish cab.
net hold together, English and Freucl
interests will be in the ascendant.
Yet it is possible, though barely prob
able tina, the affair may be alnlcably ad
justcd, England will doubtless try to TEN
porized, but if our government listen Il
any such oyertures after the stand taken
1t will be disgraced. The only hope tina
our peaceful relations will not be disturb
ed, lies in the possibility OF SPANS &C
ceeding TO our demands.
There is reason to believe that the cap
tain general OF Cuba has, before this, in
stituted ineipien, steps TO Atricanizs th'
island. The process to be adopted will
be the emancipation of all held As Save
upon service, as appr,ntices or emancl
pees for term OF years, according 4
the age or other circumstances. Til,
holders will be compensated after th'
plan prescribed by the British emancipa
tion act OF 1895.
1t is believed tha, British and FrencI
governments will guarantee the sum q
tw enty-five millions OF dollars # neces
sary TO effect this object. |, appears tha
many of the large slave holders IN Cub
are British subjects, and as the BIRTHS
laws make il felony Tor their subjects /
hold slave, even IN foreign countries
unless these slaves are claimed by Span
iards, the compensation will III consc
euence be greatly y reduced.
1t is anticipated that the President, i
his message to Congress, may ask 10
power to blockade Cuba and Porto Rice
