Negotiations at Madrid.


the inevitable result Of his negotiations-th
Mr. Soule has no longer any hopes of an amlca-
bic settlement of the Cuban question. The
correspondent says he derives his facts and
conclusions from Mr. Soule himself, and that
they are, therefore, worthy of entire confidence
These facts and conclusions are to the following
effect viz that the responses and general con-
duct of the Spanish Cabinet have been SO uni
form from the day on Which his first demand was
made, that he has become convinced that their
minds were made up in advance as to what line
OF conduct they intended to pursue
'No turn which he could give to the negotia-
tions has succeeded in changing the uniformity
of their replies, the obstinacy with which they
seem determined to cling to settled line of policy
This conduct on their part is based two
hypothesis which possess their entire condolences
one Of which is that England and France will
lend her their assistance in cases Of emergency
while the other is, that the demands of the
government of the United States mere de-
magogcal threats, made to subserve political
ends, and not based on the true sentiment of the
United States. NJ treaty has been concluded
between France, England and Spain on the
subject but conferences have been held, from
which Spain has gathered sufficient assurances
to give her confidence in their ultimate support
in case of actual war. The only question which
Spain believes divides the parties is the question
OF slavery in Cuba, and upon this question,
when it comes to the point, she will give in to
her allies, SO as to secure their support"
Sunday In Paris.
Mr. James Brooks of the New York Express.
gives the following sketch of Sunday in Paris:
Strange Paris! 1t is Sabbath,-and the
workmen new building just opposite nv
hotel on the Boulevards at work as hard as
ever! They walked me up at \. NJ, counting
brick, "un," ''deux," ''trois," ctc-and they
kept counting and brick-laying all the day
" Ill e I. r
week day, in the brilliant exhibition Of
equipagcs, and the greater devotion to pleasure.
[ reasoned Il little on this subject with Il French
lady, who defended the custom with much
volubility that her French, if not her logic con-
founded me. She defended it all, however,
with the greatest zeal and energy. Some of
the newspapers in Paris, just now, are urging,
purely question of political economy, that
men cannot work as well seven days in the
week in Six-that tho l->AA-a OF nature require
the Sabbath for rest and relaXa ton, and t;lat,
therefore, Sabbath work, Sabbath shop-kccping,
etc, ought not be. The Government, | think is
favorin.; this reformation, and are the clergy
who are publicly urging Il better observance of
the Sabbath. The appeals have closed some
few shops on the Sabbath, and the number is
said to be increasing Indeed, the shop-kecpers
themselves, in order to have the Sabbath as a
holiday, are combining, and one is agreeing to
shut up if another will. If, however, the com
bination succeeds, the only result for the
will be greater thronging i'll the Bois of
Bouloync the Elysian Fields the theatres the
cafes, and such like places. Versailles, now, is
throngcd On Sundays. Indeed that is the only
day when its galleries and little palaces are all
open. And SO is the Park of St. Cloud. The
magnificent jets deauX this afternoon in
full display, and thousands upon thousands were
witnesses of the spectacle. The Versailles
water-works play on some Sundays, and the st.
Cloud waters upon others This watcrworks'
play to to be peculiarly French.
