Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1859-01-28

The Spanish papers Of the 1st, brought by
the Europa, contain the following brief re
port of the debate in the Chamber of Depu
ties. on the day before, relative to the mes
sage of Mr.. Buchanan concerning the acquis
ton of Cuba by the United States.
NJ. Ulloa said:
ask the Government if it intends TO reply
to the Message of Mr.. Buchanan. inasmuch as
in that Message is a paragraph on the sulj ct
of annexing Cuba to the United States. which
contains new and really grave insult to the
Spanish Nation.
Marshal O'DoNNEL declared that the Gov
eminent was disposed to demand due salts
faction for such an insult, and then said:
al can assure the Chamber that during the
six months we have been in office, our rnla
tons with the Government of the United
States have not ceased TO be marked with the
greatest cordalitv. Accordingly / was sur
prised to read in the message of the President
of the United States that those relations were
in an unsatisfactory state.
In the few conferences have had with the
worthy representative in this city of the
Anglo American Republic, such cordial
spirit was manifested that felt convinced the
relations between the two governments were
perfectly amicable, and that they could run
no risk of being troubled. This confidence
of the Queens government still subsists. In
its relations with the United States, as in
those with all other countries, it has always
endeavOred to be circumspect, moderate, re-
served, but always dignified and firm. as the
government OF Il great people ought to be.
The period of encouragement caused by
war and disunion has ceased in Spain. Our
country is now positively in an era Of de-
volopment and veritable restoration. If the
power or Spain be not great enough to
menace, it is strong enough to defend the in
tegrity of the territory of the monarchy, and
preserve the dignity of the Spanish name
without stain.
In whatever circumstances the Spanish ma
ton may find itself, it will in the future, as in
the past. never be inscnsible to its honor
never will it abandon the smallest portion OF
its territory, and proposition having that
tendency will always be considered hy the
government as an insult to the Spanish people
