THE NEBRASKA BILL--TAcTICs OF THE OPPOSITION
AN ALL NIGHT SESSION DETERMINED ON, ETC.
WAsnISoroS, May Q, 1854.
II is intended to close the debate the Nebraska bill
on Thursday, after which the ive minutes rule will pre-
vail IT is said that many Southern members friendly to
the bill declare that they viii not vote unless the
Clayton clause is inserted. But were this DONE many
Northern men would fly of the handle. We think the
South are determined to take the bill in any shape which
rePeals the Missouri compromise 1t will q very close
votethe chances being that the majority either way
will not be more than five six. There charges
the administration buying up votes but they not
well authenticated.
Tie revolutionary" dodge of calling ayes and nays,
and the opponents of the measure not answering to
their Names to leave the House without quorum
was commenced this evening. 1t will be extensively
pracced before the debate is But such prac
tees only delay the public business without altering
the result far the will of the majority il
cerned it 10 questionable whether the country will be
gratided at such smart tactics.
1t is probable the House win sit all night to
that is the understanding The friends of the Ne
braska bill determined that the contest shall not
unnecessarily delayed.
OUR RELATIONS WITH sPAIN-THE INSTRUCTIONS TO
OUR MINISTER, THE DEMANDS ON THE SPANISH
GOVERNMENT, ETC.
The Presidents message with regard to relati ms
with Span will probably be delayed till after the dispo
sition Of the Nebraska bill. II will the instruc
tions Mr. soule and also contain copies of the Matan
cases, which said to exceed the ourages
already communicated.
1t will be found that Mr. soulas original instructions
which he took out directed him 10 inform the Spanish
government that under no circumstances would the
United States permit the interference any third Power
in any negotiations which might arise with regard to
Cuba and that such interference would be promptly
sisted He also directed to state in the most
quvoca language, that the United States would not al
low Cuba be placed under the protection Of any other
Power than Spain 1t could only belong to Spain the
United States.
Mr. Buchanan and Mr.. Mason also instructed to
acquaint the English and French with this
determination. With regard to- the Of in
tended apprenticeship scheme by which the negroes in
Cuba gradually to be emancipated, Mr.. soue
instructed inform the government of Spain that If
such scheme put in practice it would at DO
viewed by the United States a cause Of war.
The instructions sent in consequence Of the Black War
rior affair." repeat the instructions first sent, and direct
Mr. Soule to demand damages not only for that outrage
but also for all the accumulated outrages Of the last
twenty yearsin fact damages fer an the scommu
nicated to Congress- In addition Mr. Soue to insist
upon the Captain General being clothed with power to
settle any future differences which might arise, without
referring the matter to his government.
The eespaches received from Mr. Soule announce that
he has lied with his Instructions but We are in
c,ned 10 believe that satisfactory result antic
pated the date of his last dispatches AS he not
instructed demand the recall of the Captain General
and makes mention of having done So the rumors to
that effect doubtless erroneous
1t win be from this that relations with Spain
are in most critical position. Our government has
taken such decided stand that it cannot recede single
step with honor. On the other hand, IL is scarcely
probable looking at the prominent characteristics of
the Spanish people that such sweeping demands viii be
agreed ene thing certain, unless Spain gives the
necessary Subtraction without delay war must ensue

Navy has determined to build one of the six steam
