Mr.. Daniel E. sick!es, Secretary of the American
Legation at London has been in this city for the past
few days, very important businsss connected with
our foreign relations He brought dispatches from
Mr. Buchanan at London, and Mr.. Soule at Madrid,
nected with the Spanish revolution. We learn that
he has been in daily communication with the Presi
dent and the Secretary of State since his arrival
We have coed authority for the assertion that MIR.
Sickles will sail for Europe to morrow by the Allan
tic from New York, and that he s the bearer of de-
spatches containing instructions to Ministers at
Londsn, Paris and Madrid 1t is understood that our
Ministers directed to favor the republican party
in Spain, giving them aid and comfort, in considere
ton of important reforms to be introduced into
the government Of Cuba That this Is the purport of
the instructions ntrusted with Mr.. Sickles there is
reasonable doubt; and should the republican ibe-
raj party become dominant, this line of policy will

sympathy, aid and comfort to the liberals,
providing that they will so modify the gov
eminent of Cuba that our immense trade
with that island can be carried on without
any of the contemplate insults and annoyan.

the shape of the removal of odious imposts

gulations, which have been from time to
time forced upon the unhappy island by the
home government. The money for which
these reforms would be consideration,
might be furnished by the United States
which would givethis republic an immediate
claim upon Cuban gratitude. With liberal
government, the island would increase in va.
lue ten fold, because then this modern Eden
would be turned to the best account by Yam.
