in England. r
The London Times, in its view of the Mes
sage, confines itself to two topics-the inanc,a
crisis and the Central American questions. IL
CONSTITUTES MIR. Bnchanan's remarks on the former
question into tribute to the monetary system Of
Ling land, and recommends them to the attention
Of its readers, that they may see how the system
Of currency. which has been so pertnaciousiy

ened men of another country. On the Central
American question, the Times says:
1--WE have much pleasure in receiving the as

the countries are identical. being confined to Sc
curing safe transit over all the routes across the
lsthmus. Let the American Government give
proof OF this and we are sue that nations will be
| speedily settled. Common sense must tell the
Americans that in these questions We are strictly
on the defensive, and the most invetesate de-
clainer against England cannot deny the concil-
iaory spirit in which she has treated them. But
We can hardly be asked to give up the treaty Of
1850 without guarantee that all its important
p OviSi rs shall he re- enacted and the whole
ries Of irritating disputes brought forever to an
end
The London Post lands the Message generally
and says:
This great State paper, both from the friendly
spirit which 1t breathes to foreign nations-from
the determination which II expresses 10 put
down the arcb-heresy of MOrmonism, and to re-
press the niquities Of flibustcrism is highly
creditable to the moderation, Judgment, and pull
lie spirit Of Mr.. Buchanan
The Daily News praises the frankness Of the

gnage of Mr.. Buchanans Message" ..
IL also endorses his views on the commercial
crisis, but says that the shufing tone Of the
Message on the afirs Of Kansas il in painful
contrast with the frank and manly tone of that
portion which treats Of foreign policy

notice that il Is the intention of Government to
bring in d bill for the abolition of the double

Further attempts to launch the I.eviathan were

that Mr.. Vernon Smith will leave the Board of
Control and be succeeded by Sir G. Wood and

The London Times continues its agitation in
favor OF importing free labor-rs to the West India
Islands " -
SPAIN. -H =
The Espana Of Madrid denounces with some
yehemence, the supposed project Of the United
States against Cuba, and accuses President E3u-
chanan Of personally encouraging them With
regard TO the proposition for purchasing the
Island, which Il says the new Minister OF the
United States (whO Is about to arrive in Madrid)
Is expected to make, the Emperor declares that
spain cannot entertain IL without dishonor That
the United states will seize the Ii st opportunity
either "by piratical expeditions or exciting i'm
surrection, or any other mode whatever of
possessing themselves Of the Island, the Espana
does not doubt. and II complains that under such
circumstances the Government displays great
want Of caution, and an inexplicable security.
