INV YORK, Oct. 2l.-An abstract OF ,h,
fourth volume OF Diplomatic Correspondence bal
been received. The subject Of the extent d
SPANS jurisdiction over The waters around The
Island Of Crba had got revived in he CORES
~p0ndence with the Spanish Government in Octo.
Der, 1863. The matter Was to have been settled
in June. 1864, when Mr.. Seward wrote that our
Government had no vital interest in deter mininR
the jurisdiction referred 10.
Under date Of November 23d. 1863, Ar. Ses-
ard denies that the United States we're concerned
in originating or siding the revolution 10 ST. Do
mingo. but states. on the contrary, that they
maintained the policy Of non interference a. ia
The wars Of other countries.
The subject of prevent ng the slave trade in
Cuba was also renewed in a correspondence
through our Minister at Madrid
Mr.. Seward again instances the policy OF neu.
q ality ia the refusal OF our Government to re-
ceive, even informally, the agents of the Ievolu-
tionsry authorities Of st. Domingo.
In reply 10 the ibquiry OF Mr.. kioner, our
Minister AZ Madrid, as 10 how be should regulate
bis conduct towards Macmillan, Who was r-
pected 10 make an Official visit, Mr.. Seward said:
You will hold no official interview with any re-
preventative at Madrid Of any revolution estsb-
lished against the authority OF the United States
or Mexico, with which the United States are
maintaining diplomatic relations. The St. Do
ming0 question requiring notice, his belief was
that our Government would be Strengthened
more by the establishment of Republics than by
the extension of our now very large domain.
This was 10 dispel the fears which il was init
mated Spain entertained regarding our aggressive
policy.
On the 18th Of May, 1864. Mr.. Seward assured
the Spanish Government very emphstieslly that
the United States could lot regard with indifier-
enee the attempt ID conquer and reanneI the
Territory OF Peru.
Dir. MOTLEY, our Minister TO Austria, defines,
as far as be could ascertain from the Court of
Rechberg, the position OF that country as regards
the Mexican question: MaYimilian's project was
a purely personal one, and that country, not be-
ing a maritime nation. was unprepared to sup
port his undertaking, by sending ships or armies
TO Mexico.
Under date of November Both. 1864. Mr..
Seward conveyed a pointed but polite rebuke 10
our Minister in Denmark. Mr. B R. Wood, for
having exchanged visits witk the envoy of the
