arrived here this forenoon, and drove al
once to the residence of Seey Fish, where
the party breakfasted. During the forenoon
the President gave an audience at the
White House to number Of callers, mostly
otice.seekers.
At II o'clock the Cabinet meeting was
held, but with only three members present,
RAwlins, Robson and Fish, the President
aud others being represented by their As.
sistant Secretary.
The President and Secretary Fish expect
TO leave for the north again tomorrow even
ing, and will not return for two or three
weeks. A number of revenue appointments
will probably be made before the President
leaves the city.
Private information from diplomatic cir
cles abroad represents that Spain is becom.
lng quite restless under the evident desire
OF the American authorities to recognize
the belligerency Of the Cubans, and the re.
port abroad is that a full understanding Of
matters will be insisted upon by Spain. The
latter power holds that the United States
must act towards Spain in accordance with
the views of neutrality laid down in our cor.
respondsnce with England and that any de.
Walton from that in the case of Cuba could
only be deemed as special act of hostility
toward Spain. Cubans who are here apuear
to be quite sanguine that both the President
and Secretary Fish are in favor of recogniz.
ing belligerency, in spite Of all denials.

Through Mr.. Longfellow, As on
former occasions through MIR. Motley
and Mr.. Prescott in the field Of histO-
ry, our kinsmen beyond the Atlantic
have paid US back in kind part at
least of the debt they owe to the liter
ature of the mother country. Indeed,
such writers as the present American
Minister in England and Mr.. Long
fellow make us debtors in our turn.
Surely, If 1t be true that the whole
earth Is the tomb of illustrious men,
it is equally true that the light and
warmth of q great productive mind
and a great communicative
heart are the common heritage
of all civilized nations. AT any
rate, a Motley and a LongfellOw are
as much part of the literature OF
England as Byron and a Walter
Scott of the literature of the United
States, And at amoment when some
questions that must deeply concern
the future relations of the old and the
new country are suspended rather
than settled, as all good men on both
sides must desire them to be settled.
it is doubly pleasant to note how that
inner sense of a common parentage,
that strong family likeness, and those
mutual affinities of taste and feeling,
which survive all controversies and
all separations, make themselves con-
tinually felt in many Ways--whetheI
