LONDON, Oct. 4.-There has been an in.

between England and Spain during to-day,
attributed in part to the storm on the
coast, but mainly to the cutting of the
wires commune sting with various parts Of
Spain by the insurrectionary forces opera

shore line in that country. The latest adj
vices to hand report that at the battle at
Espraquerra between the Government
troops and republican forces, mastering
eleven hundred, the revolutionists were
compelled to retreat 10 the mountains, after
an obstinate resistance, during which
they lost forty killed, sixty wounded, and
twenty three made prisoners.
The government troops lost twenty
killed and thirty-eight wounded.
The American and Cuban diplomatic
difficulty is regarded ss terminated. The
Spanish government refuses all offers OF
foreign mediation, maintaining that the
condition of affairs in Cuba is domestic

Project for AN Independents state
General Lee.
HAVANA, Sept. %, 1S69.-In a recent
communication your correspondent spoke
Of class of Cubans, not represented by
Carlos Manuel Cespedes, though at the
same time inimical to the Spanish gov
eminent, whose desire and purpose it is
to establish here an independent State,
with Gen. Robert L Lee or some other
prominent American at its head-some>
thing akin to absolute power-for the
space of ten years. Since writing that
further information, and on important
points, of the ideas of this classroom
posing, as is claimed, the greater part
of the wealth and intelligence of the
Island-has been furnished him.
With all their hatred Of the Spanish
domination, these men have no desire to
expel the Spaniards from the island.
They have no revenge to seek, and inn
agine that with the departure Of the
Standards would 60 from Cuba by far the
greater share Of its commercial and in
dustrial energy. Nor would it be safe.
The planters would leave so many me-
groes behind them that they would be in
q great majority, and so another Hayti
might be the result. Matters have so
shaped themselves here that it has ceased
to be question between Spaniards and
Cubans it has become one Of life and
death, Of preservation or destruction.
Whatever the result Of the strife in the
field, the moral effect of the in
surrection on the island in the relations
Of person, commerce and agriculture can
never be put down. The government,
though it scstters every armed insurs
gent, will not have conquered peace.
The torch and dagger will take the
place of the musket, and night forms a
better cover for the bravo than trenches
to the soldier. Say they:-"In this age,
when government bases its power solely
on force, reason leaves its subjects; when
justice is perverted revenge supplants
legal redress" Let reason resume its
sway among the residents of Cuba and
it will be easy to reconcile insulars and
peninsulars. Their interest is in COM
mon, and opposed to Spanish rule,
whose course has ever been to send the
Venal and the vile here to rob all alike.
SPANS steady march towards weakness
and decay, her known incapacity for
government at home, are
poor evidences of her capacity to rule q
people for their interest 1000 miles
away.

the METHODIST BoOK CONCERN.

The journals generally are calling on
the officers Of this institution to lose no
time in furnishing the public with cor
rect statement ofits affairs-if they expect
it to retain the confidence of the Metho-
dist community. The "Sun" regrets
that the Christian Advocate, which is the
official organ Of that denomination in this
city, is endeavoring to convey the i'm
preston that there is nothing Of any
moment amiss in the affairs of the con-
Germ. "The Sun" characterizes this at
tempt as zone Of mingled folly and impu-
dence," adding
eve do not know how far the writer
is justified by experience in his opinion
but he must think his Methodist brethD
rem q set of cOnsummate fools to be con-
tent with this statement Of an outsider
not familiar with the facts of the case
in opposition to the ugly but well su'
thenticated charges which are made
against their servants"

In this contest, (the Green stake,) mile

great interest was also manifested, and il
proved little lesO spirited than the TWO mile
race. At the outset there we're seven en-

Post, Nothing and Allen Hunt-were
withdrawn, leaving Shy's bay colt Bour.

Keene Richards chestnut FLY by Micky
Free, to do the running. They we're a
dashing trio. Richards was the fsvorite
at the beginning, but not far above ZusZu,
while Bourbon was touched with extreme
caution. In this race the pool selling was
all but as lively as in the other. With
very little delay, the three one-milers were

FIRST HEAT.-As if perfectly used t.
| it, the "greenies," as they are called, put
their hoofs upon the line and awaited the
drum tap. Bourbon got the inside at the
word, ousting Zl~Zu, and leaving Rich'
ards far in his wake. So they skipped or
