On the contrary, am satisfied that the

we need any foreign assistance to preserve

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The documents
on the Cuban question, sent to the House,
and referred to the Committee on foreign
Affairs, contain Sickles' note to Silrela, the
Spanish Minister of State. of Sept.
%, 1869, Withdrawing the offer pre-
vioHsly made of tee good offices of the
United States with insurgents of Cuba,
Silvela, Oct s, replied to the effect that
Spain had accepted the offer with graft
tude, though she could not actept the
basis on which it was founded, and which
now appears constituted the essential con-
dition of the offer. The Spanish Govern
nent could not accept these as a basis. the
first of which was the independence of Gu
la, because even if they had wished it. il
was not within their competence to assent
TO a ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the territory of
the monarchy without the permission or
authorization of the Corles. But the Cor
ties was far from permitting ard author
izing this. As manifested by a unani-
nous resolution of their permanent com
mission, they were ready to lend their en-
tire support to the government In aid Of
an elevated and dignifed policy on the
Cuban question, calculated to preserve the
integrity of the territory and the national
honor.
The Spanish Government nevertheless
had accepted the good Offices, hoping that
in the first place they would be exercised
by the Government Of the United States,
using its influence on the question. 4
wide difference exists now between the
Democrcy east and west, but advancing
nothing new.
He did not approve of the legal tender
decision of Judge Chase, but thought it
greatly signified the financial situation,
and if not hereafter overruled, substantial
ly settled the question. Emission in any
move of legal tenders and financial ques-
ton in the future, would probably be be-
tween the National Banking system, and it
is possible, the revived system of State
Banks. He said that he had resisted the
contraction of the currency in every form,
and hoped that the pending bill for dis
tribuSon to the West aud South Of $50
600, 900 of National Banking currency,
would prevail
