Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON, Aug 3.
England Urging the Sale Of Cuba to the United
States Designs Of Louis Napoleon upon
Spain and CuJa-E England and The U. States
Bound 10 Resist-ignoring the ia,cs of Kan
Sds, &c.
Movements of the highest Importance in refer
ence to the interests of the United States are now
on foot in Europe, growing, in part, out of the
assumed designs of Napoleon III upon Spain
may state,upon information not Questionable.
that the British government have again urged
upon the government of Spain the expedency of
the sale and cesson of Cuba to the United States.
| say again. too, pending the Ostend conference,
the British government favored this measure.
But now, in view of the ambitious project of Ma
poleon Ill for the assertion of pretensons to tho
crown of Spain, that government has become
ceedinglY anxious to strengthen Spain, by cut
ting Oft her expensive and useless appendage IF
Cuba, and by the same means to enable Spain to
improve her provinces, and be the better enabled
to secure her Independence against domestic in.
surrection and foreign invasion.
If Napoleon succeed in his intrigues he will
extend his empire over both Spain and Cuba. and
this attempt is necessarily To be resisted by Eng
land, at the hazard of with France---a war
in which she will gladly have the United States
an ally. The transfer Of Cuba TO any foreign
power the u. States have been pledged to resist
since the administration of Mr. Monroe
The British government have represented TO
the late government of Espartero, and the pre-
sent administration of O'Donnell, that Spain can
not long retain possession of Cuba against the
United States for a proper consideration--a hun
dred or hundred and fifty millions of dollars
and thus improve her physical and political con
diiion.
Napoleon III, has, on the other hand, conc en-
trated large force on the Spanish frontier. and
is actively engaged in intrgues with the queen
mother, Christina whose malign influence is
deeply felt in the affairs of Spain.
A rupture between England and France is to
be apprehende on this subject at early day;
meanwhile England seeks to conciiate the Uni
ted States by removing every possible cause of
disagreement, and the two countries may be soon
compelled to make common cause against the de
signs Of Franco in regaid to Spain and Cuba.
notice an error of types in my last which
represents "both Houses" instead of the House,
as having ignored the laws of tho territory of
Kansas.
The act Of the House in refusing appropiia-
tons for the Kansas legislature, is based upon
the assumption that the legislature was fraudu-
lently elected. The Senate have. however. in
their Kansas pacif cation bill, made concessions in
regard to some Of the laws of Kansas. which may
possibly form the basis of 3 compromise between
the two bodies. The omission of the appropria
ton for the legislature cannot produce much in
convenience hey will only have to wait while
for their pay. Ion.
