Our foreign correspondence will be found psrticu
arly interes ting to-day. Our Paris letters describe
n glowing terms the efforts made by the Sandman
Minister, the Count dc Ca7our, TO force the ques-
zion OF Italian independence the attention of bis
fellow plenipotentiaries. He is said to have had
several interviews with Louis Napoleon on the sub
ject, in which he won over the sympathies of the
latter by the words Of burning eloquence which he
addressed to him. The Sandman minister is said to
be one OF the most remarkable men Of his time; but
We fear that all his exertions will be thrown away
in endeayoring to obtain in that quarter support for
his views. Our Madrid correspondent sends us the
continuation of Don Buenaventura vivos revelations
regarding the projected Spanish American league
against the United States. Although translated into
very obscure English it preserves sufficient of the
spirit of The original TO give not only an excellent
idea Of the pompous self concet Of the exMinister
bat what is more important Of the extent Of the OBJ
ects aimed at by his instructions, and of the manner
n which his propositions were received by the go
yernments to whom they were addressed. These
disclosures go fully to confirm the statements made
from tine to time to the active intrgues of the
English and French agents in the affairs of Central
and South America.

Payne, the Minister Of Finance, would probably be
sent to England. His post win be filled by Lerdo
de Teiada. Lafragua will go to Spain, and Dobado
accept the War Department Owing to the rcsig-
nation Of Rosas, I.acuIza will resume the manage

Our Porto Cabello correspondent, writing on the
6th OF April states that the Dutch feet on the coast
was waiting TO be informed of the result of the nego
Nations then pending relative to the claims Of the
subjects of Holland on the Venezuela government
for indemnity, and if uRfavorable TO the people,
the ships would blockade all their ports immediate
ly This action is foreiby contrssted with the
policy Of our own government in the same country,
where the demands of people for redress not
even presented. The government of Holland also
insists the possession Of the AYES Island az its
property although the executive of Venezuela has
sold the gnano to company in Philadelphia. The
Monagas dynasty ruled only through the "spoils."
A custom house collector calculates on making a
fortune in two years, and in this respect only is the
country ahead Of the United States
Advices from Caracas TO april have also been
received, being three days later than those from
Porto Cabello. Our correspondent at Caracas
gives somewhat different account Of the difficulty
with the Dutch government from thar received
via Porto Cabello. Seven Dutch vessels lad threat
ened, under certain contingencies, not only to
blockade the ports Of Venezuela bal to seize the
adjoining islands which abound with guano. Pre-
sident Monsgas appealed TO the British Minister,
who undertook tho office OF mediator. The Dutch,
after being apprised That the British squadron
would be ordered TO protect the ports and islands of
Venezuela, thought proper to yield the points in
dispute; but the conditions had moi yet transpred.
