Onr Relations with Spain.

The recent naval movements ordered ny
the Government are significant. O1tlcial
so,rccs saw that the Federal Administration
has had its suspicious aroused by change IN
the SPANISH Ministry and the recall OF Senior
ROBERTS, the Spanish Minister at Washing
ton. The old ministry was friendly to us,
aud the new one is thought to be hostile !;
and Minister RoEEETs maintained kindly re-
lotions with our Government. For these
reasons it is alleged that General GRAsT de-
ternined at once to take precautionary mea-
sures. He dispatched one of our naval ships
to release the Hornet and bring her home.
She was bclcaguered ina Hayticn port by
Snanish war vessels. She is charged With a
violation of the laws Of neutrality, and the
Spanish authorities ordered her arrest when
she left the harbor. The President is deter
mined that the question shall not be trled
by the Spaniards, and the trlsate congress
will bring her home to be tried here.
In the mean time demand is to be made
upon the Spanish Government for eXpana-
ton and apology for the act of overhaulsng
the steamer Florida by a Spanish man-oi-war.
It Is announced that our own Government
means to DO ready for whatever course it may
be necessary to pursue, and the Navy De-
partnent is theoretically putting such rt-
sources as are at its command into the best
possible condition for immediate use. There
is nothing yet tangible in the case; but the
Government acts as though something might
soon arise that would be tangible. The
Spanish Government, however, is SO utterly
incompetent to wage war with this country
that we CAN hardly doubt it will make repa-
ration and do anything else necessary to
avoid war. We have always been for Cuba,
and would hardly regret any event that
might transfer it to the United States. Spain
is not able to govern properly that magnlii-
cent island. 1t is mere burthen upon
Spain, and all everlasting annoyance to us IN
its present situation. 1t would be greatly i'll
the interests of peace in the world if it
changed hands-separating from Govern
ment which is incapable of taking care Of it
and becoming annexed to one that will make
the most of it, and will, by occupying it, be
able to preserve order and security in the
West Indies.

The Legislature and the Finances.

The Legislature and the Finances.
Yesterday. in the House Of Delegates, Inn
ms,,iateiy after the passage Of the joint reso-
luton suspending the operations Of the fund
inyact over the veto Of Governor WALKER, on
motion Of Mr.. sUruEELlS, resolution LOT
the appointment Of joint committee on the
whole subject OF the public debt and State
finances was unanimously adopted. The
number on the part of the House was put
of fifteen, and on the part of the Senate AZ
nine.
This is Il very wise measure. The nue. anu
crv against the funding act, for one purpose
and another, has spread throughout the state,
md there Is no chance Of stopping 1t or OF
doing anything just now-if anything al all
Is lone-but to put down the funding Olh }
unless, indeed, the Senate maintains the veto
and forces resort TO some other eXfee''cn''
Therefore It Is most appropriate that inc
whole subject should be thoroughly review
cd and sifted. Something must be done, ana
when members come face to face with practi-
cal propositions they will discover that de"
cla,nation against the funding act will not
get the State out Of the difficulty into when
the repeal of that act will plunge her.
With some thirty millions funded under
the funding act, and with money to pay the
present January interest on the funded DEBT
we see no difficulty in the way of proceeding
with the process of paying interest and main
tanning the public credit. But as the Legls-
laturc seems to think differently, it is very
well, with the help Of tho dispassionate ana
Intelligent joint committee, 10 find out what
is intended to be offered in lieu OF the fund
in. &C; to rcGstablish confidence and main
TIN tho States credit. The committee is
very good idea. We doubt not that it Will
DO all intelligent body of men; and we trust
that il win disentang!e the Legislature from the
embarrassment which it suffers from getting
ID in the State storm that could not be
e.tsily or readily controlled. One good thing
is that we shall be relieved from heated de-
bates and "buncombe speeches-at least
until the committee is ready to report.
