The correspondence between Marcy and
Sou,c on the Cuban difficulty, and the full
report of the Ostend Conference, by Buchan-
an, Mason and Soule, appears this morning.
The first letter is from Marcy to Soule July
23d 1853, land expaiates upon the superiority
of Cuba and its importance to the United
States, deprecates interference OF England
and France, and instructs Soule generally to
try and obtain modification Of those laws
which press with severity on the commercial
intercourse with the Island.
Marcy to Buchanan, 1854, complains of
Great Britain keeping large fleets on the
Cuban coast to watch US; denouncing the
importation of free Africans into Cuba with
the view Of making the island worthless to
US when Spain can no longer hold it; order
Ing il he finds that England had any arrang-
ments with Spain detrimental to our inter-
interests, to try to induce her to abandon
them.
Marcy to Soule, March II. 1854 ca Is for
redress for the Black Warrior outrage with
out delay, and demands 100000 indemnity
to her owners.
Marcy to Soule April 8; 1854, fears pro-
iect is on foot to introduce anew system of
agricultural labor into Cuba, and Soule has
full power delegated to him to treat for the
purchase of the island. If not disposed to
sell he thinks for the 9uid pro quo he would
consent to the independence of the island.
Marcy to Soule, August l6, 1854. suggests
the conference between Buchanan, Mason,
and Soule, and under date of AK la Chap
pelle, We have the fulIes report Of the de-
liberations, signed by the three ministers.
They say that after full and universal in
terchange of sentiment and views which re-
suited in cordial coincidence of opinion,
t'they have arrived at the conclusion and are
thoroughly convinced that an immediate and
earnest effort ought to be made by the U. S.
to purchase Cuba at any pr ce at which it
could be obtained not exceeding the sum Of
s.. (The Daily Times thinks that $l20-
100000 is intended to be inserted in the
blank.) The report then goes on to re-
commend open and frank negotiate on, be-
lieying that the interests of Spain are as Sc
riously involved in the sale as are the u. S.
in the purchase of Cuba. and cannot antici-
pate failure unless possibly through the ma
llgn influence Of foreign powers who possess
no right whatever to interfere in the matter.
The report then states the various reasons
which were invariably added whenever the
subject was under discussion. They consid-
cred that the system Of emigl alton and labor
recently introduced, and the probability at
any time Of instruction renders Cuba an
increasing danger, and permanent cause of
anxiety and alarm. Hence delay in the &C.
QUESTION Of the island they regard as ex-
ceedingly dangerous to thu United States.
The impulses trade would give to commerce.,
the prosperity Spain must realize from the
investment Of two.thirds Of the purchase
money in railroad enterprises ETC., are point
cd out as inducements to Spain to sell the
island which is now an incumbrance to her.
The report then points out the chances Of
Spain losing Cuba without remuneration,
/ from internal revolution and external assis-
lance in the same, and they consider tina, il
the Cubans were to organize an instruction
against Spain, and no human power could
prevent the people of the United States tax.
ing part in the support of the revolutioaists.
Considering what acts will become As-
cessary in case Spain refuses to sell, they
decide that Cuba in the possession of Spain
is to seriously endanger our interests and
even the existence Of our beloved Union.
Then by every law, human and divine, we
shall be justified in wrestling it from Spain
if we possess the power, and under such cir
cumstances we ought never to count the cost
nor regard the odds which Spain might en-
list against us. They consider we should
be recreant to our duty to permit Cuba to be
Africanized and become second ST. Domin-
60 and fear events are tend ny towards such
a catastrophe. The report concludes by
reference to the various outrages committed
by the Cuban authorities, especially the
Black Warrior afflir, which without mmedi-
ate redress would have justified a resor. to
to the measure of war, and that outrage is
not only unanswered, but is sanctioned by
the Spanish government. Such course as
has been pursued in this case they consider
degrading to our dignity as an independent
nation, and should not be continued.
