PANS, Sept l0.-The official papers an
nounce that the condition of the Emperor is
satisfactory, and he has asked the consent of

LONDON. Sept. 10.-John Bright, in a letter,
says a good harvest will tend to restore health
to the general trade of the country When we
have a sufficient supply of cotton, Lancashire
will recover from her distressed condition. 1t
is more cotton We want, not more taxes on i'm
ports.
The Times, in an article on the cotton supply,
says things have changed since the time when
u good cotton supply in the United States car
ers and workingmen of Lanca shire. The sud
den destruction of the old cotton trade has been
attended with the destruction of the old condi-
ton, though the cotton supply has come back
again, new fields and factories have been open
ed. More extensive demand for the raw mate
rial raises the price, which deprives US of the
conditions essential to the superiority we once
maintained.
The London Neics says it is rumored that
the proposition for the purchase Of Cuba by the
United States has found powerful friend in
the Spanish Administration. If the rebellion
is suppressed, it is difficult to perceive how a
material change can be effected amid defiant
and subiugated population. The interests OF
England and France in the West Indies are
scarcely inferior to those of the United States,
and they will have their say before the settle
ment is regarded as final.

Pans, Sept. l2.-It is reported here that
! General Siekles' late note to the Spanish Gov
| eminent declares that although the United
! States have not yet recognized the insurgents
of Cuba as beligerents, still, if the situation is
not moderated soon, they will take steps to
that end. Spain is about to despatch "a 900
soldiers as achievements to Cuba. The first
detachment, 5000 strong will embark during
| the present week.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Madrid correspOn-
dent of the Times writes as follows a. Hither-
to the Spanish Government and press have
universally adopted the plan of cOncealing I'M
favorable Cuban news, but the EpOcd has now
broken the silence, and has startled the Span
iards by making a statement of actual facts,
and vehemently urging the despatch of troops,
and the union of men of all parties, so that the
Government will be left free to save Cuba.
The news that General Sickles has proposal
to recognize the Cuban insurgents as bellige-
rants caused as much excitement as if he had
threatened to take the part of the Cubans, and
had tho affaat n 10 funds fal To he
point touched for sixteen years. The despatch
of General Sickles has not yet been published,
and whatever its moral effect may be, the re-
monstrances of the Unite States have unques-
tionably terrified the Spaniards amazingly"
LONDON, Sept. l4.-Partisans are persuaded
the Emperor is recovering, although marked
alienation is observable in his appearance
| There is great anxiety with regard to the Re-
gency. By law the Empress is Regent during
the minority Of her son. 1t is generally be-
lieved the Emperor desires to promote n good
understanding between the Empress and Prince
Napoleon but the idea of intrusting a share Of
the Regency TO the Prince is decidedly dis
countenanced by some, while hints are current
that the Princes absence on board his yacht is
connected with plans of others in his behalf, if
not directly with his sanction.
The Journal des Debate, referring to the re-
cent meeting of Americans in London for the
purpose of congratulating Prince Napoleon on
his liberal speech in the Senate, says: "a lit
tie more and it would be considered there was
some danger in speaking of this congratula-
ton, for it was eulogy CARRIED too far The
speech of Prince Napoleon showed good sense,
shreWdness, eloquence, moderation, but no
peril was braved. If he had made such a
speech ten years ago it would have been an
act of courage; but there is no boldness now in
telling the Senate what everybody but the Sc
nate thinks.
