The Madrid correspondent Of the London Times,

Although have already communicated to you all
important particulars Of the negotiations that have
here gone on with respect to the Black Warrior, II
may be desirable, as the affair may possibly prove
both tedious and troublesome, that should furnish
few further details, to enable your readers TO trace
il from its commencement. IL would appear that
the notes interchanged up to the present time
between Mr.. soule and the Spanish govern,
ment, are five in number. No. /, presented
by the American Minister, stated the complaints no
had TO make, and the atOnement he was instructed
to demand, and required positive reply within forty
eight hours. No. 2, from the Spanish government,
declared its inability to reply to his communica,
ton until such time it should have received
information the subject from the authorities
in the island of Cuba. This brought forth No.

Mr.. Soule, in which he taxed the Spanish gov
eminent with seeking excuses to postpone a
reply and, as am informed, affirmed, or at least
insinuated that the government had received des-
patches from the Havana since the affair In
question, because advices had been received in En-.
rope since that date from the same quarter. The
terms in which this third note was couched we're
so offensive that the Spanish Minister must have
been craven indeed not TO have returned spir'
tied and indignant answer. Such an one, am
assured, was sent, and so strong was 1t that the

as follows
Inentioned in . recent letter that hopes were en-
tertaned that English mediation might be able to
prevent matters being brought to an extremity be-
tween Spain and the United States. Should this
not be the case, however, do not believe that any
consideration as to the possible consequences would
induce the Spanish government to yield to the
American demands; The pecuniary claim of 3Ooo 600
dollars is considered so preposterous here and the
demand of the dismissal OF General PeZuea and
other Cuban officials, without inquiry SO inadmssa
BILE, that doubt whether even the certainty that
the loss OF Cuba would result from their refusal
would make this government give way. Senior
Calderon dc Ia Barca from his knowledge, acquired
hy so many years residence in the United States, Of
tie feeling that prevails there on the subject of
Cuba and Of Spanish relations in connection with
it, was less disposed than some of his colleagues to
make Of strong language in the recent cores
pondence, and desired perhaps, to avoid furnishing
the preext which IL generally conceived here to be
desired to be found by the American gerernment
but he overruled by his colleagues, who, as well
as the highest parsonage in the kingdom were quite
decided on the subject. The latter is said to have
expressed herself as confident that Cuba would not
tc lost during her reign. Should circumstances
point TO that contingency, however, have little
doubt that, rather than the Spanish colony should
fall into the hands OF those who sestrongly covet it,
the threat announced in the HvdLdo some time back,
when the Lopez invasion took place, would be car
ried out. The then, now, ministerial organ de-
elared that come what would Cuba should be either
Spanish or African; and believe that this IL the
parties, the people here would rather the slaves
set at liberty and Cuba converted into another San
Domingo, than witness that valuable possession
nexed TO another State.
II is asserted, though Mr.. SoulG appears 10 doubt
the fact, that owing to the extraordinary slowness
which prevails in all matters in which Spanish Off
Gals are concerned, the government here have no,
yet received the erpeditnte Of the Black Warrior
