Thd London Times has created considerable
exeitehent in England by advocating, in the
boldess terms, the immediate removal of Lord
Raglaa from his command in the East, on the
ground Of incompetency. The Times is also
vigorously writing down the ministry, and ind-
Gates that the Marquis of Dalhousie, the pre-
sent governor OF India, is the only man capable

Interesting Debate in the Spanish Gortes On the
Cuban Question.
SESSION OF DECEMBER 18, 1S54.-Mr Mar
ieteguf representative of Santander, asked for
information about the negotiations with the
United States in relation to the Black War
rior affair." The speaker accused of inordinate
ambition the North American democracy,
which supports liberty in theory; but mai'i-
tains slavery.
Mr. Luzariaga, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
answered that the government determined
to maintain the integrity of the Spanish terri
tory, without negectng the Difference due to
other nations. La the present case, the princi-
pie on which the government means to act, was
that selling Cuba would be to sell Spanish hon
or. (Applause.)

caution. marks of general assent)
A motion from NJ Olozaga was then read,
desiring the Cortes to adopt NJ. Luzariagas
declaration against the sale of Cuba, and was
unanimously agreed to.
A letter from Madrid to the Journal Des De-
bates, dated 10Th December, says:
.'rhe question of the sale or alienation of
Cuba is now settled; whatever proposal the
United States may make, the Spanish govern

Ahogker letter, dated Madrid, Dec 2l
says: u
The Spanish government has not acqu-
esced il the proposition made by the British
Minister at Madrid, to proclaim the slave
trade piracy, deeming that under present cir
cunstances, it is sufficient for England and the
peace of Cuba that the treaties now existing
between Spain and England should be enfor-
ced Instructions have, however, been sent to
the Captain General of Cuba, General Jose de
la Concha to carry out the stipulations entered
upon with England, without ccasing to prevent
the slave trade"
a Paris letter says:
A special diplomatic messenger, just arrived
from Madrid, brings news of curious nature
in regard to the position of Mr. Soule in that
capitol, and progress of the Cuban question.
This gentleman assures Me that whatever may
have been said to the contrary, Mr. Souie was
received in Madrid, on his return from Paris,
in a ;eanner the most fattering, of the Cabinet
and the Diplomatic corps as etiquette requires,
and within the twenty-four hours following, his
call was returned by every individual Of these
two bodies, and he otherwise treated with
marked politeness.
The unanimous decision Of the Spanish Cabi-
net and Cortes to oppose to the last the cession
of the Island Of Cuba, the poteness with
which Mr. Soulc is treated, and the assurances
Of the Presidents Message on this subject, all
point to speedy and quiet settlement of the
Black Warrior and other difficulties of a similar
| nature; without any provisions i'll relation to
the future security or position Of the island of
Cuba
