Wm. o. Alexander, President of the

oAeu suuueuly, iaSL nl&nt.
It has been ascertained from relia-
BILE source, that Spain, instead Of car
rying into effect the Understanding of
the Fish. Polo protocol. namely, to in
vestigate the conduct of those of her
authorities who have infringed Spanish
laws or treaty obligations, and to
punish those who inuy huvo offended,
has made demand for Indemnity in
the affair of the Vlrginius and for
other alleged wrongs suffered by Spain,
owing to the fillibustering expeditions
fitted out IN this country, aud landing,
or attempting to lnud, men and munl-
tions of war on tho Spuuisn American
coast. 10 this demand, our Govern.
menI iias replied IN firm but courteous
terms, asserting the ln,onahlsness of
tue position of the Spunish Govern
mont, and reminding 1t Of the remiss
ness and inexcusuble delny in making
reparution for wrongs suiI .red by Ame-
rlcan clllzaus in person aud property
Lie lnteSt Information from Minister
Gushing is that he is still pressing our
demands ON Spain. 1t seems certain
that the clause III the protocol provid.
ing that reciprocal rccamatious shall
be tho subject of consideration be-
tween the two Governments, will not
end satisfactorily, in Witch case it will
become tho subject of arbitration, us
per agreement, provided the constitu-
tional assent OF the Senate OF the
United States shall he given to it.
