Russia AND THE SANDWICH IsLASps.--A
letter from Honolulu, Of May 2, states that
Russia, after long negotiations, had failed in
concluding the treaty which shehoped to make
with the King Of the Sandwich Islands. This
result is attributed TO the last news from Eu-
rope, and the situation in which the blockade
Of her ports placed Russia, causing her every
day to lose somewhat Of her prestige. The
Russian vessels Of all kinds, whether Of com.
merce or Of war, had fallen back on Kam-
schatks, the governor Of which place did not
appear to have sufficient troops to defend him
self against the combined forces Of France and
England. All the Russian establishments we're
menaced, and from one day 70 another the news
Of some military events was expected.

ton md ascendency Of the democratic party.
Whether the Homestead bill had been approved
or rejected BY the President, a schism in the
party would have been the inevitable conse
auence. But Mr.. Hunter has happily parried
the blow, and by presenting y measure upon
which the whole party will unite, as indicated
by the unanimous democratic vote Of the Sen
ate, has won triumph in the very extremity
of division and defeat Nor is this all. With
out spy sacrifice Of principle or consistency,
he has attached the democracy of the north to
the interests Of the south by the strongest obi
gadonsof gratitude, They have ever been our
faithful allies, and deserve much in reward OF
past service. This measure, so dear 70 their
feelings and so important TO their interests, will
not be the less appreciated from the quarter
shence it comes. They will accept 1t rs a
concession from the magnanimity the south,
which never forgetsa favor nor fails TO serve q
friend.
As the highest strategic skill is shown in es-
Gaping from the disasters Of defeat and in con-
writing reverses into victory, so the most con-
muste craftsmanship is illustrated in meas.
ares which, like this bill, display an inexbaus
tible fertility OF resource and resolution never
70 despair OF the republic. When the passage
Of the Homestead bill was regarded as inevita-
bic, and sagacious men we're overwhelmed in
the contemplation Of its mischievous conse-
quences, Mr.. Hunter devises substitute which
averts the calamity, and forever settles diff
cult and dangerous problem Of public policy.
The House Of Representatives will doubtless
pass the bill without difficulty or delay.

There is an evident determination on the
part OF the Admin;Str 4tion TO plunge US into a
wtr with Spain. The W sSiliaaton Union Of
" Wednaslly contains another violent article on
Cuol, with j view of preparing the public
mind 1oT the oelliSerent message wnica il h
been determined to send in, soon as tle

bucc ers for that is the proper term, and,
with scarcely the shadow of an excuse, take
poss ession of Cubl, simply bacsus, we desire
1t, and viii add another slave State to the con-
f;icrcy. The Washington correspondent OF
the Journal Of Commerce, always reli able when
foresh Allowing the action of the AlmniStra-
ton, says, ssthere is reason TO suppose that the
President will send to Congress after week
or two, Message about relations with
Spain proposiug hostile measure. The tone
of the Presid cnt's Black Warrior Mess ige of
the 18th of March has been constantly main
tanned in the Union, and, therefore, it is be-
lieved that the Union represents the Presidents 5
views and purposes when it promises to urge
tbs Immediate blockade of the Cuban Ports,
upon the refusal Of the Spanish to afford ra-
paration for the alleged SsDirlticll outrage"
upon the Black Warrior. That the demands
Of Mr.. SoULE are rejected, there can be no
doubt. Hence, it is supposed that we shall
have sequel to the NJ essige of the 18th of
March, and in a more definite manner. The
Ness tge of tae 18th of March proposed that
provisional powers be given to the President.
The House Committee OH foreign Aflirs have
declined noticing this proposition, or the mes
sage itself in any way. The President will
next make his poposition, it is thought, def
mite and specific.''
