Opinion Of the Sickles Cuba Note.
LONDON, Oct. 2, 1859.
The Saturday Repie,o has an article the subject
OF the relations between Spain and the United States
on the Cuban question. The writer Says
The announcement that the Washington govern
ment approves the communication OF Mr.. SlcKes
the American Minister to the Spanish government
Is only partially Ineligible as long as the terms OF
that despatch are unknown. So also Is the announce
ment that America had no intention to intervene
and was only prompted by humanity. II is certain
that the Spanards consider that the subject con-
Germs themselves alone, and II the government pro-
8ecutes the contest with energy and success, no
faction will openly oppose It's measures.

Views of the Government Regarding the

WASHINGTON. Oct 2, 1859.
The government has not decided to take any action
In the OF the Cuban privaeer Hornet, is it
probable thar she Will be interfered with except
she commits some depredations on American
commerce. Ordinarily an armed vessel sail
ing under an unrecognized flag is regarded
as pirate; but 1t Is known tnat the adminlstra-
tion does not regard the Hornet in this light She
is not owned by private individuals. and she sails
under the dag OF government which has put
armies in the field Is at present
waging war with considerable success against
Spain. The administration takes the view that un-
der the circumstances the Hornet cannot be consid
cred strictly pirate and that according to the best
Interpretation OF international law the United states
is not bound TO send out cruisers to capture her.
