New YORK, September 1Sth-A Herald special,
dated Paris, September 18th. evening, says uenerai
Prim's second and latest audience with Napoleon
was of some hours duration. The subject matter OF
the conversation is affording cause for q very consio-
cradle amount of anxious outside speculation IL peihg
pretty accurately ascertained to-day that tne si'ua-
ton in regard to the Cuban revolution ana the
chances of its suppression. as we'll as the probable
future of the island as regards its form of govern
ment and rights of rule, were discussed. The En-
perOr ADVISED an amlcaDlc arrangement NS
Spanish authorities and the Cabinet at Washington
in the matter of the American desire for the acquisi-
ton of territory by purchase, adding, toward the
close of his remarks, his opinion to the effect that
the war continued with the present attendant barbar-
tiles, President Grant would be compelled to inter-
fere between the contending parties, if only in behalf
and for the cause of humanity.
General Prim replied that he was himself person
ally willing to negotiate with the American authori-
ties in the direction indicated by the ruler of France,
but Spain and his felow-countrymen at large re
manned opposed to such a course.
Napoleon, in reply. advised Gen. Prim and the
Spaniurds to initiate, in this case, his own example,
and give up Cuba, just as he had given up Mexico,
before it was too late to do so with honor.
Sickles has proposed a new plan of compromise on
the Cuban subject. Spain is in an intense state Of
excitement, blazing and boiling over, it may be snid,
on account of the news from Cuba, reports from
Washington and other parts, and the adherence Of
Sickles, in Madrid, to the policy of Sell, or perhaps
lose."
