is much more probable that the attack

Another question in which there is
danger of an attempt to over drive will
ing. horses is, that of negro emancipa-
ton i and many otherwise intelligent
men displaymore zeal than discretion in
that matter. The Cubans are by no
means unwilling to entertain the idea of
negro emancipation and to meet its pro-
m6ters half way but it is upon condi-
tion that it should be brought about
without ruinous precipitation, and with
fair regard to the interests Of the slave
holders. The extreme doctrine Of the
immediate emancipation of all slaves, is
highly unwise and impracticable, and an
agitation in that sense will only produce
opposition on the, part of the Cubans,
and be likely to retard, instead of sccsl.

quarters that England, France and Por

the Spanish Government, some doub
was still felt on this head, but it has
been anticipated by the manner in which
the Constitutioael of yesterday mentions
the fact, adding the lPapal Nuncic

have been authorized by their Gov.
ernments thus rtos recognize the new
order of things. 1t is satisfactory
to- see that the British Government has

expected to take rather sooner. The
