d letter to the New York Journal Of
Commerce, states that translation
has appeared in the French Journals,
Of a paragraph ofthe London Shipping
and Mercantile Gazette, wherein the
opposition Of England and France is
represented as likely to prove the cliief
difficulties Of the Americans in their
enterprise against Cuha,but should the
island be bought BY the United States,
those powers would scarcely be able
to find adequate grounl for interior
ence. The French writer's suppose
the purchase to form the special miss
ion Of Mr. soule, the younger, to Lon
don, and Mr.. Sickles, Secretary Of the
American Legation in London, which
the Morning Advertiser reports The
present confusion in Spain affords they
think, a most suspicious opportnni-
ty to the Americans. Some of them
pretend that the most knowing friends
OF Mr.. Suule, the Minister, assign to
him a crenitable share of the insurrec-
ton. The Morning Chronicle thinks
that no Revolution in Spain, of what
ever cast, or what sequel soevcr, can,
at this era, alarm the old monarcllies
of the Continent.
