TEE CONDITION OF TEE FRENCH EMPEROR.
LONDON, September II -Parisians are per-
suaded that the Emperor is recovering, al
though marked alteration in his appearance
is observable. There is great anxiety con-
cerning the Regency by law. Tie Empress is
Regent during the minority of her son. 1t is
generally believed that the Emperor desires to
promote good understanding between the
Empress and Prince Napoleon. The idea of
entrus6nga share Of the Regency to the Prince
is discountenanced 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 Own. The En-
peror gave audience to General Prim yester-
day.
LONDON, September 1.-the Times has an
editorial on Sickles' diplomacy in Spain, and
says 'there is no doubt that the alternative
is offered Spain of the abandonment OF Cuba
or American recognition OF the insurgents.
The Struggle will be hopeless, go far as Spain
is concerned, but the government cannot con-
troll the impulses OF the people, and Spanish
pride holds the government in strong check.
From the most tranquil provinces come offers
of men aud arms, that the regulars may go to
Cuba. The aggressive policy Of the United
Ststes cannot bo justified by the attitude Ct
Spain towards Cuba" -3ssN
PARIS, September 16.-The Emperor's health

sultation with the Emperor satisfactq;g. he

10 BE SENT oUr-THE RKMossTRANcE OF THE
UNITED sTATEs.
LONDON, September IA Madrid co1es-
pondeut Of the London Times writes as fol-
lows: eHirherto the Spanish Government and
press have unwisely adopted the plan Of con.
cesling unfsvorable Cuban news, but the Epoca
has now broken the silence and startled the
spaniards by making o statement OF actual
facts, and vehemently urging the dispatch OF
troops and the union Of meu Of all parties, 80
that the government may be left free to save
Cuba. The news OF Sickles' proposal to recog-
nize the Cuban insurgents as belligerents has
caused as much excitement as il he threatened
to take the part of the Cubans. 1t had the
effecA to make funds fall to the lowest point
touched fo- the past sixteen years. The dis
patch of General Sickles not yet been publish
ed. Whatever its moral effect may be, the re-
monstrance Of the United States has unqaes-
tionably terrified the Spaniards amazingly:
The Times, in en- editorial on the Cuban
question, says II the American negotiations
for the cession Of Cuba have failed. it must be
because the sum rendered was deemed insuf-
foient, or the Washington Government breads
the opposition Of those who feel confident that
Cuba must fall into the hands Of the United
States, or deem it folly to incur liability. The
Spanish Government has been admonished to
put an end to the insurrection, or give up the
island on any terms. II these circumstances
have prompted the Madrid Government to play
it's last card for the articles and stake all on it,
it cannot be congratulated on it's resolutions.
The subjugation OF Cuba cannot be achieved
by soldiers, nor will it result from series OF
victories. The troops may hold the seaports,
but the inland regions will be against them;
armed columns may traverse the island, but
they can nowhere establish permanent loot
ing. With the exception Of few traders,
Spain has no friends on the island. Prim and
Serrano have often told the Cortes that the
loss Of Cuba is merely question of time; for
four months they have been deyising the most
advantageous terms. It is to be hoped that
wisdom and consistency will enable them to
see that it is good to be rid of the island on
any terms. and cause them to consider before
wasting men and money, which they cannot
spare in the furtherance OF an enterprise
which will never yield hundreth part of what
it has already lrreparably cost.
PARIS, September H.-Letters from Madrid
assert that feet OF iron-clads will be sent to
Cuba in November, in case the United States
recognize. The Spanish Government stops all
kilograms which it does not approve, especially
those concerning Cuba. The Barcelona Diario
hopes that, Notwithstanding the action of the
United States, Spain will know how to maintain
her flag and her dignity.
MADRID. September 16.-Two iron-clads.
have been ordered to Cuba. Three thousand
men have left and seven thousand will follow
this week. Prim telegraphs the government
from Paris, advising diligence in sending
troops to Cuba.
