1t is said that the allies have now in the
Crimea 100000 troops, and probably the
Russians have 100000. Making the most lib

SLAVERY IN CuBA-Referring to the speech
of the Spanish Minister of State upon this
subject, the correct report of which, con-
densed from La Cronica. we gave yesterday,
the National Intelligencer remarks that re-
Elections must satisfy any intelligent person.
that slavery exists as a necessity inseparable

| can never contemplate the abolition of slave
| ry there, except in connexion with the ruin
| and loss of the island.
Although we have already given the sub
| stance of the Spanish Minister'S remarks in
the Cortes, yet, as the subject is one of great
| and absorbing interest, we annex, in full, the
| reference in his speech to slavery in Cuba;

sentiments of humanity, and other considerations
inst parable from that idea, are excited. But it is
necessary to keep in view another consideration,
and that is that The island of Cuba cannot continue

we have desired to anticipate the sentiments OF the
