graph Oh the subject of anuexing Cuba to the
United States, which contains a new and
really grave insult to the Spanish nation.
Marshall 0Donnell declared that the
Government was disposed to demand due
satisfaction for such an insult, and then
said | can assure the Chamber that during
the six months we have been in Office our
relations with the Government Of tue United
States have not ceased to be marked with the
greatest cordiaity.
Accordingly ! was surprised to read in the
message of the President Of the United States
that those relations were in an unsatisfactory
state. In the few conferences l have had
with the worthy representatives in this city
of the Anglo American Republic, such cor

WINGED the relations between the two Gov
Fernments were perfectly amicable, and that
they could run no risk OF being troubled
This confidence of the Queens Govern
mcnt still subslsts. IN its relations with

The period If Encouragement caused by
war and disunion has ceased in Spain Our
country is now positively in an era of devel
opuent and veritabe restoration. If the
power of Spain be not great enough to men
ace, it is strong enough to offend the integ-
rity Of the territory of the monarchy, aud

without stain.
Ia whatever circumstances the Spanish
patton may find itself, it will in the future
as in the past, never be inscnsble to its
honor; never will it abandon the smallest
portion of its territory; and proposition
having that tendency will always be consid
cred by he Government as an insult to the
Spanish people. (Approbation)
The sentiment of nationality, which YVES
supposed to be weakened, and which, unhap-
PLY, was slightly weakened by our Intestine
sentiment, the source of high
deeds, and of generous and heroic inspira-
tons, displays now new vigor, and is in
IN such way that, while we will
never be aggressive and never aspire to dom
mate, we will never allow any encroachment
to be made on the inheritance left US by our
fathers. (Approbatiou)

"The Congress declares that it has re-
,eived with satisfaction the declaration of
he Minister of Foreign Affairs, and that it
5 disposed to give to the Government its
constant support, in order to maintain the
Integrity of the Spanish dominions"
The resolution was unanimously adopted,
md ordered to be inscribed in the archives.
The Espana, though violent adversary of
he cabinet, expresses warm oppr baton
# the patriotic declaration of the minister,
nd states that in a question VIII b, like that
# Cuba, affects the national honor, Span
ards, whatever their differences on other

ouruais employ similar language.
