THE SPANISH INsURREcTIoN-CUBA. Z

A London correspondent of the New York
Times says that the exile of Queen Christina
deprives the slaveholding interest in the
Spanish Councils Of its mightiest protectress,
and that the English abolitionists declare
openly their belief that the emancipation of
slaves in the Spanish colonies, win now be a
matter for early execution. On the other
hand, Louis Napoleon, it is said, is exceed
ingly dissatisfied with the Spanish Insured
ton, not reIishing the example to France Of
an instruction of bayonets. Some signifi-
canoe is attached by this writer to the depar-
ture of Louis and the Empress for Biarity, a
military place on the frontiers of Spain
Louis it is said, has his party in Spain, and is,
for the moment, strangely enough, in favor of
the Orleanist interests, for Montpensier-
England being on the side of the youthful
king Of Portugal, who has been lately on a
visit to that country.
In regard to the prospect of obtaining Gu

the memoranaum-and that party, once in power, in

Cuba.
AAo correspondent AYERS, that WuIie tuo
above are not his own views, he knows that
an American diplomat, now in London, had
an interview with some of the principal Spa
nish Republican leaders in England, and were
assured that the views communicated in the
aforesaid memorandum are exactly their own
and that their party would bind itself to act
in conformity with the basis laid down in it,
if such emergencies should occur. @
There are SO many conflicting reports in re-
gard to Cuba, that it is hard to tell what to
believe. 1t is of course to be presumed that
our Government is fully appraised Of every
thing of interest and Importance connected
with that island, and that if there is any real
danger of an Africanization thereof, it viii
interpose in the most prompt and vigorous
manner to arrest SO great calamity to Anne
rican institutions and to civilization. Any
reasonable ground of such catastrophe,
would warrant and demand the immediate
seizure of the island.
