LONDON, Sept. 21-The Paris cor

/ follows:
| The note of the American Minister
| to the Spanish government IN regard t.
| Cuba, varies both In It's tobe and con.
nectlons. between the Spanish Min.
ister at Washington and the Govern
ment OF the United States. The Gi.
plomatic experience of Gen. Sickles l.
limited, and probably insufficient tc
enable him to rightly estimate the
value and effect of his words. Doubt.
less he is much surprised at the ex-
citement they have created: and il
will be difficult for his Government to
approve of them. No pretext exists
for recognizing the Cuban insurrec-
ton, which does not hold a single
town or position, and owes its pro
longation to the action of the climate
on its opponents, and the facilities
afforded TO the Insurgents in thinly
peopled country. tat
The appointment of Gen. Sickles as
Minister to Spain was greatly criti-
cised, and has not been sanctioned by
the Senate. That body will do itself
credit by refusing to confirm the ap-
pointaent Of man who has made so
bad a first appearance In diplomacy.
A letter from Madrid to the Stand
ard says that Gen. Sickles, 10 his note,
intimates that the Government at
Washington might, under the force
of public opinion, be compelled to
recognize the Cuban insurgents. He
reminds the Spanish Government of
the good faith with which the United
States has hitherto preserved its re-
spect for international law, and of its
unwillingness to embarrass Spain.
Altogether. the note is not of an
alarming nature, but the reticence Of
the government in allowing the peO-
pie to remain in ignorance of its con
tents justifies the violent articles
which have appeared in the Spanish
papers for the past few days.
The Pail Mall Gazette reviews the
idea of Chinese policy, put forth by
Mr.. Brown, late American Minister
to China. 1t says the sum Of his ar
gument is the opening of new markets
to Christian traders. In point Cf
fact, there is nothing to show
that the difficulties between foreign
ers and the Chinese are merely ques-
tions of Interpretation. A true ac-
count would be that the former forced
the Chinese to grant privileges, which
the latter, not daring to withdraw,
seek to evade the extortion of such
privileges is a mistake. If inter
course with China is no better than a
series of little wars, we must be con-
tent to measure the right of trade
with China by her Willingness to trade
with her.
