From Washington.

tial cable dispatch from General d. Il.
Sickles, our Minister at NJ .drid, recit
ing the proposition, or rathor tho al
'"nativc, made to the Provisional
"nment that they "sell Or lose"
sg,' had the effect Of kiudling
great resentment against the United
States, and that the peninsular is
aroused us one man to maintain the
colonial integrity Of the kingdom.
The Cabinet have declined to consider
anyaproposition at all from the United
Stasss Minister ia tho premises. Gen.
Slckles has been informed that in no
event will Spain consent to treat on
basis of loss or sale of her Cuban
possessions. The Minister is Of the
opinion that Austria and Ftance have
agreed to snst.in Spain in her appeals
to those F'upires for support. The
despato', da.ed this norning, makes
no reference to the telegram of yes.
tcrday, that the Emporer Napoleon
had advised General prim, the Miui,.
ter OF War, to acceda to the rcprescn. i.
tation Of the United States, and re-
lihquish Cuba when they can, and be-
fore they must. Ga the contrary,
tho country is aroused. Regent Ser
rano is to despatch the l6 900 rein
lorcements ut once, and haa adopted
the pronunciamento Of Prim that the
rebellion is to bo put down at any cost :.
General Sicklcs atks for further in
structions. lie is not without hope
that III modified form the PROPOSE
tion of the Government will be at
least considered. IIo deems it his
duty to acquaint the Department Of
State with the excited aud critical
condition of afflirs.

Iudcr the caption of "Miuister
Sickles Sustained by the .Admiuistra-
ton" the. Chronicle says with double

ter Sick!cs to the Spanish Govern
lfent, to Justify the alarm that i'm.
FGsfect disclosures of its coutents

"Seoretary Fish declines to make the
note Of Minister Sicklcs public,
for prudential reasons, but it is safe
to say .hat thore will be no such
thing done as backing down. 1t is
safe to reiterate that the State De-
psrtmept apprehends no warlikc re-
suits: Sickles' injudicious use of
words alone, is supposed to have caus.

y The agricultural report states, re-
garding corn, that unless the close OF
the season should be very favorable,
there must be l5,0O0,000 bushels less
than full crop. Regarding cotton
there will be a reduction in the yield
of cotton from the Carolinas to Ala
hama, and material increase from
Mississippi to Texas. Georgia, Flo
rida and South Carolina have suffered
moro, mainly from drought, in fow
localities from rust, the caterpillar
and boil worm. Our estimates make
the Increase in Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas, respectively ten, twelve
and fourteen per cent. The proba'
