Ihavc seen Il stated la of the journals that Mr.
belmont Is appointed Minister TO spain IN the hcpo
OF purchasing Cuba through the Rolhschds OF which
house be IN a agent in this country.
There N no foundation whatever FOR this runor, which
probably comes from some OF Mr. Bemonts friends
agents H. has not BEEN here since his return from the
Hague though be Is expected TO at the beginning of
next week. In playing the game for the foreign appoint.
nent which Dir. r. really desires IL his have
supposed he obtain the spanish mission but he
has no wish 10 60 there. His forte as nnancer and
Spectator, and the true point OF his aspirs-
lion d the mission TO Paris which Ia tho centre
OF European speculation. while Minister al tho
Hague he was within a few hours, by rail, Of the
French cawtal, and spent much time there; but at
Madrid would be days journey Oh, which does not
meet his views at all. Besides, there Is chance In

he would be TO far oil 10 attend 20 the business u
his New York house, which l. said H. have made great
deal Of money during his residence in Europe At point
where he could watch IL interests.

sgn The high trust which tina, state reposes IN him The

in background and perhaps thus give Nj. Belmont
better chance 10 obtain The Parts mission,
But would be a very erroneous policy, aud the Pres

mont has very little chance. II no Is truly friendly N
Mr. Buchanan be would not push iof such unpopular
step part AS for he the Rothschds being abc
20 buy Cuba, Il Is very good game TO play Ia order
magnify thor influence hut the very proposition through
