In the first place, it is printed in the most "a.

TO the seeding States and to the q root ~ tba

third class nation in Europe was afraid of
them ito the latter it only showed that as thew

their hatred, were alike neither IN he fearod ~

1t will be remembered that at the time Of the
Declaration of lndependence-ont the mart of San
DOmingo-and ever since-the United States
government, through the influence of its South
ern ADVISERS has steadily refused to acknowl-
edge it as nation amoug men 1t will be re.
mem0ered too, that some years since while Mr.
Webster was Secretary of State, a proposal was
made by Count Sartiges, then French Minister
at Washington, that tripartite treaty should
be entered into between England France and
the United States, whereby the possession of
Cuba should be forever granted to Spain; and
we are quite sure that no true hearted patriot
who ever read this correspondence, will ever for.
get the reply Of Mr.. Everett-the successor Of
Mr.. Webster, in rejection of this proposal, in
one of the most brilliant State papers which has
ever emenated from our government.
But Notwithstanding the generally understood
credibility of the cores pondents heretofore
referred 10, we give but little heed to tie
now reported insolence of Spain, which we are
inclined to receive as simple French " canard %
but which, nevertheless, would never have been
practiced upon the United States-uaited. Let
us learn a less from this.
In regard to other startling facts announced
~ these reliable correspondents, we learn sim
ply, that after all that has been SAID Fort Sum
ter IS 10 be reinforced-that Fort Pickens has
becn-unknown to all others than the aforesaid
corresP ondet-that the State of Rhode Islanc
qfter the election "wednesday is to join the Sc
cessionlst and make Newport the rival Northern
seaport to New York-that England in view OF
the. exactions of the Morrill, tariff OF her indus
try are about to declare in favor of the secedir
State-make Charleston the central point OF th
maritime woodland New York and Boston tn
Thebes and Carthage of theFlast Republic.
Here surely is sensation food sufficient to sat
isfy the most craving appetite for this species o
mental aliment, at a single sitting and all,
one believes one half of these " facts and predic
tons he will have enough to keep his min
busy till he can get new instalment from tn
