SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.
The Washington Union of Thursday last,
in an article on our relations with Spain, rs-
marked: ,-.es-
I'VE are quite free to state, and in terms
SO emphatic and unequivocal as to admit of
no misrepresentation, that if ample satisfac-
ton is not allowed for the piratical seizure of
the Black Warrior, we shall advocate an i'm
mediate blockade of the island
We republish the above, that the reader
may look ut it in connection with the intelli-
gence which we published yesterday, that
the Captain General, Pezuela, has been ad-
vised from Spain, that his conduct has been
approved by the home government.
If this be true, and if the Union speak
the sentiments of the government, we
are on the eve of a serious rupture with
Spain. 1t is probable that that country has
assurances of support from the allied pow
ers, that strong division of their powerful
naval ornaments, professedly designed for
operations in the Baltic, where they have no
naval adversary to meet, may be placed at
the command of Spain for the preservation of
1.-THE balance of power" on this continent
We can scarcely account in any other manner
| for the defiant attitude she has assumed in
not only refusing to make reparation in the
| case of the Black Warrior. but in approving
the extraordinary conduct of the Captain &C.
neral. The whole matter will probably be
submitted to Congress ere long, and if that
body has any time to bestow upon the nation
al honor and interests, the country may ex-
pect that Spain will pc annihilated-in thun-
derng speeches.
