From all late accounts the prospects, Of the
Cuban patriots were never 80 cheering since
the day on which the flag Of independence
was raised at Yara, as they are at the present
moment.
The Spanish commanders are divided in
their wishes in their plans, and even IN their
allegiance and the Spanish soldiery reg
ulars and volunteers, are Disguised, partly
at the ill-concealed hostility of their leaders
TO each other, partly at the apparent i'm
probability of their ever receiving their
pay and Spanish officers and men are alike
dismayed at the heroic tenocity, selfimposed
sacrifices, and unfinchinP valor exhibited in
every part of the island by every class OF
Cubars. The patriots in the Eastern De-
partment under MARMoL and the oft-kllcd
DIAz have lately inflicted such defeats upon
the Spanish forces in that district, that but
few more such flows would force them to
retreat to their ships. The facts Of victories
have been carefully suppressed by the Az

forwarded as usual 10 Havaus, and thence

Funny Protection.

We find in the Herald q report that the
Hon. HAMILTON FISH has instructed Mr.
WAsHBURNE, our Minister in Paris, to offer
protection to Prussans in France for the rea-
son that many of our naturalized citizens
came from Prussia, and that the Prussian
Government has no representative in Paris. y
Considering that the distinguished head
of the State Department has never been able
to protect American citizens In Cuba, and
that they have been robbed, murdered, and
outraged, within a hundred miles of our
shore, without his daring TO lift q finger fol
their defence, this proposal to protect citizens
of foreign country on the other side of the
Atlantic, would be comical If it were not in
sulting.

The Bargain between Prim and Bis
narck.
There is reason to believe that the under.
standing between PRrN and BISMARCK has
not been limited TO their original arrange
ment for the expulsion of ISABELLA ii. from
Spain, nor to the election of Prince LEOPOLD
Of Hohenzollcrn to the Spanish throne. The
plans of BISMARCK are extensive, and the
necessities Of PRM are great and Cuba has
been provided for in the combinations they
have set on foot
The plan agreed upon between the two
rulers was that, when LEOPOLD had become
firmly seated on the Spanish throne, he
should give Cuba her independence, on the
condition, to be settled beforehand that the
Cubans should agree to place themselves
under the protectorate of Prussia, and should
pendence thus secured, Cuba was to pay to
Spain the sum of one hundred millions of
dollars, and the payment of this sum was to
be guaranteed by Prussia. In consideration
Of this guarantee and of the protectorate,
the North German Confederation was to
have the use of the port of Havana, or the
gulf of Nipe, or any other waters of Cuba,
for the purposes of naval stations.
It is to be understood that this plan was
BIsMAncK's, and that a part Of he hundred
millions Of dollars has already been adraneed
10 PRM by a German banking house in Lon
don upon BIsMARcK's responsibility. This
banking house has for some time past had
m agent in Havana-an Englishman-
sounding the dispositions of the Havana
Spaniards with reference TO Prussian pro.
tectorate. In the opinion of Count BIS
MARoK it is very desirable for the North
German Confederation to acquire a foothold
In America, such us this Cuban arrangement
would afford. Otherwise the Confederation
