RFFEor OF NAPoLEoN's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF FRANCE TOWARD sPA1N-FEN1AN DEMON
sTRATIoN IN LoNDoN-IRELAND's TERMS FOR
IRELAND, &c.
LONDON. September. 21.-Paris correspon-
dence Of the Times says that the Emperor's
recovery has caused lull in the fiery debate
which had begun between tho party OF the Em-
peror and the friends Of Prince Napoleon. The
rivalry already displayed by each faction gives
foretasto Of what is in store for France when
the death OF tho Emperor let's his family
loose, and gives up the State to their unseem-
iy discords.
The Morning Post says it now appears that
America has only made friendly representa-
tions to the Madrid Government in favor of
reasonable demands Of the Cnbans. II is pro-
bable Napoleon suggested to tho Regency that
Spain should act considerably towards Cuba,
and disarm American influence. The French
Government favors reconciliatory policy at
Madrid, and non.intervention at Washington.
The Standard says Prim's attempt to in
? duce England to join in Protectorate for
Cuba has totally failed.
The Paris correspondent Of the Times
saye: ''The diplomatic experience of MIR.
Sckles is limited and probably insufficient to
enable him to rightly estimate the value and
effect of lis words. Doubtless he i, much
surprised at tho excitement they have created,
and it will be difficult for his government to
approve them"
Fsnian mass meeting, six thousand
strong, was held in Trafalgar Square, London,
yesterday, which was addressed by George
Henry Moore. NJ. p, and Others, in favor of
the release OF the Fenian prisoners.
LONDON, september 22.-rhe Times says the
Spanish have found heir advantage in bold
display Of patriotic and national courage. They
mat'imagined affront with immediate Defiance
though their threatened adversary is ten times
moro powerful than themselves. Sickles is
manifestly elsrmed at the result of his proceed
ing, and hos requested further instructions.
Pending reply from Washington he desirod
to Withdraw his note. II this is actually tho
position of the case, Spain owes it to her own
fearlessncss which may sayor OF unreason,
but does not partako of the nature of brayaao.
She declares that if driven to extremity, she
will fight. No doubt sho will For her 10
gain advantages by so doing ia out of the
question, but as matters stand, she would
lose leas than her adversary. America may
fairly decline an oasy victor on such onerous
and partial terms. The people and govern
ment Of spain have resolved not to part
With Cuba without a struggle. contest
could only result in the loss of Cuba,
coupled with other, but slighter losses.
Sickles expected no such resistance as
his note has provoked Possibly in the face
of such opposition, his proceedings may be
qualified or repudated by his government, :.
IS beloved that he exceeded his authority, and
that America is not responsible for his act.
DUBLIN, September 20.-The Irishman to-
day says no terms for Ireland will be accepted
without the release Of the Fenians. It is the
verdict of the Irish people that. England must
set these men free, or avow that her promise
OF better government for Ireland is lie.
MADRID, September 22.-The treaty of COM
merce between England and Spain is about
completed The first action of the Cortee on
reassembling will be the election OF king.
Thus far the King Of Portugal is the favorite.
