1--WE, resident spaniards of New York,
feeling justly indignant at the grave offense
committed against Spanish sovereignty and
independence and the integrity of our
country, by the official Communication of Mr.
Fish to Mr. Sickles, under date OF the 29th Of
last October, protest against most strongly

matters of Spanish rule. We believe also that

or sentiments of the American people, who
cannot but look upon them az most pernicious

influential SpaniRrds in New York, who are also
expressing their apprehension that samana is to
be used by Cuban patriots to great extent for
the equipment Of fllibustering expeditions.
