RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.-In reference to
the article from the Washington Republican
which we published yesterday, concerning rela-
tons with Spain, the Washington dispatch OF
the Baltimore American Members of
Congress and others have made inquiry OF
official sources with regard to the startling an.
nouncement, when the following facts were as
certained: Minister Sickles took out with him
instructions in relation to the release OF DIR.
Houard in the spirit Of former communications
on that subject to our Charge dAfaires, MIR.
Adee, urging the release Of DR.. Houard, who,
according to official information received yes
terday, is still at Cadiz, and we'll treated, await
ing the result of the pending correspondence
between the two countries, and the further in
vestigation of the case by the Spanish govern
meut. The resolution in behalf of DR.. Houard,
which passed the House of Representatives on
Friday did not reach Secretary Fish until Mon
day, and therefore did not form the basis or
any part of the instructions to Minister Sickles,
who left this country for Madrid on Saturday
last. The immediate object of the return OF
Gen. Sickles to Madrid is to bring home several
members of his family and to present his letters
of recall, he having sometime ago contemplate
ed withdrawal from the position. 1t is prob
able that his successor will not be appointed for
sometime, and this may depend on the conduct
of the Spanish Government on the questions
now pending"

which they might be withdrawn is for Great
Britain to agree that in future she will make

failing to perform its duties as neutral on any
occasion when the other country may be bel
