THE CUBA QUESTION IN FRANCE.

An article appears in late number Of of Louis Ma
pooons organs in Paris, la Patre which may be inter
esng 10 readers indicative Of the views Of the En-
peror in regard to the annexation Of Cuba to the United
Staes II will be that delay of year is all that
Is desired for the ultimate defeat of annexation Whether
the Emperor gives himself year Irs Sbastopol after
which he would be at leisure protect Cuba whether
he celebrates that the scheme Of Authorization Of the
island viii be far within year that the
United States will desire its annexation we
distinctly advised 1t does appear however that the
abotonsts aided by the know-nohings strongly re-
lied BY the Emperor prevent the immediate
nation of Cuban annexation. The reader, however will
have no difficulty in making his comments The fol-
lowing is a translation of the article
to the Cuba question although has reached mn ex-
cessiyey critical point, where trhe may bring about an
explosion, betere thai all could be sared only gear
respite and @ quo could BE- scared In fact annexa
ton agitation has its location in the States its pro-
moers the most ardent Of the foreign population.
At present the annexatons have their friends in power
and they count the administration closing Its eyes upon
their schemes and their they papaby Illegal
But the actual administration crippled by tho aboitonsts
the North and their auxsries the know -nothngs in
other words, its days Of power numbered Whatever
be the Of Mr. Perce successor tho general policy
of the Union in regard to Cuba will be modified and IL
noxaon before 1885, indulge the hope
that win be- In fact, the abolition party of the
WAL allow
party to be strengthened BY the admission of slave
State into the Union.
If ccncede however, that things 20 ON in this
and that the Cuba question bs pushed sudden
solution by local instruction, combined with buster
ing invasion from the American ports then but
terrible be brought about The Spanh gov
eminent, using its incontestabe right proclaim the
emancipation Of the slaves in Cuba In that the Amer
annexaionsts and their Creole accompces in Cuba will
have to struggle at against the royal troops faithful
the old Spanish flag and the black population who win rally
to that flag from gratitude for their liberty defend
liberty against the douby odous aggression Of
strangers.
This win be terrible game, bnt about which Spain will
hcstat If believe the declarations made
full Cortes by the Minister OF Foreign Affairs NJ Luzur
aga. aeat ise.
This event having occurred tho southern States
turn would fear the annexation and resist with srdor what
they had before sought to accomplish. Cuba FREQ, Cuba AZ
rcsnzed would be to the slave States permanent menace
germ living and always active for dissolution.
1t is from these considerations that II preserva
ton Of Cuba has for Spain real difficulties Its acquisition in
wolves for the United States dangers OF greater magnitude
Prudence and good policy therefore, unite with loyalty
counsel the United States respect the property another
and to confirm the that people and kings
should never lose sight ofhonesty il the bost policy"
