LONDON, September W.-The Spectator says
~War between Spain and the United
States appears like q moral imposslolllty,
but it is universally believed IN just
now in Spain. War enthusiasm there is gather
ing fast. Minister Sickles' proposition is in
consistent with the precedent furnished by the
conduct of the United States in 1856. What
with Spanish pride and American sympathies,
the situsticn is very critical. It is difficult to
believe that Spain, with divided people.
bankrupt treasury, in revolt, with all to lose
and nothing to win, can seriously contemplate
war with one Of the greatest powers on the
earth.
The Saturday Review holds that il the
proposals Of General Sickles is accurately re.
ported, there is no ground for complaint
against America for making On offer to Spain
in the character Of o disinterested mediator.
It is possible that some Of the people in Spain
who urge the sending OF reinforcements to
Cuba desire the absence or the army With
military force only can, the Regent maintain
the power and authority Of the Courts against
the Republicans and Carlists. The friends of
Isabella might be formidable in the absence OF
the army. The government must see thatto
sacrifice the army will not not save Cuba. AL
luding to The desire to possess Cuba, the
writer thinks the argument of Buchanan IN
favor of annexation must be more agreeable to
their ears now that slavery has been sup
pressed, but whether it Is their trde interest to
include an slien and uncongenial population in
the Union is question for future history.
The Times, in an srticle on Byron, says:
nMrs. Stowe admits that she was consulted
with by Lady Byron only on the expediency OF
publishing the true account of the separation,
and owps that she dssuaded her from doing
80. She omits to produce adequate authority
for her statement. Whatever there may be
believed or this revelation, Mrs. Stowe was
wrong in publishing information which was,
supplied in order that she might give the
opinion as to what action should be taken upon
it," -,
NJ. Schlessenger, in aletter to the Cologne
Gazette, states that Mr.. Wentworth repeatedly
assured him that Lady Byron desired the un-
happy story Of her marriage to die with her,
and that the family papers contained no Sc
crets. =, ~

Cured yesterday between porters on a strike

SPAIN.
MADRID, September 18.-The Spanish press
has been in ferment of excitement and indig-
nation since the presentation Of General
Sickles' note. Some Of the journals abuse the
American Minister sadly. They say he was
sent here solely because he was known to be
STRONG partisan OF Cuban annexation General
Sickles emphatically denies the assertion that
his mission refers only to Cuba. He insists
that he hiss never broAched the question Of the
cession OF the island to the United States, but
merely hipted that the American Government
is willing to interpose its friendly offices for
the settlement of Spain's difficulties with Cuba.
A decree proclaiming liberty Of worship in
Cuba will appear in the Official Gazstte to-
morrow. It is probable Bece-na or Romero
will be sent to Cuba to resolve, on the spot, all
questions of administration. The embarks-
tion Of reinforcements for Cnba has commeic-
ed. 1t is confidently asserted that Admiral
Topete will command the feet. yde
MADRID, September M.-The, city journals
are still violsnt against the presumed unifiend-
illness of the American government, and some
urge an immediate declaration Of war il the
CubaDGare recognized as belligerents. The
Ministry. after discussing the propriety of re-
turning Sickles' note unansaered, decided to
postpone reply until the arrival OF Prim.

Pope and Council against the doctrine and
practice Of the Roman Church, which he con-
tends are not in accordance with the princi-
Piles Of Christianity.
