SPAIN ANDTHE UNITED STATES.

The foreign dispatches of this morn
ing tell us that Don CARLOS has written
a letter to ALFoNse, King Of spain, an
nouncing that, while still rcseryimg his
pretentions to the throne, he is willing
for truce, and ready to join his forces
with the royal troops to maintain the
dignity of Spain if the United States
persists il it, designs against Cuba.
And leading editorial recently pub
lished in the Loadon Times, also takes
the ground that the European pow
ers would regard such acts on the
part Of this Government, a. unjustiiiabIe
and high handed. All this shows that
the schemes of His ExccIcncy are not TO
be plain sailing; that Spain is detcrmin-
cd for the moment, at least, to drop her
local quarrcls and bitterly resist what she
regards as palpable violation of her
ri. hts. and that in this move, she will
have the sympathy OF all Europe. So
it seems most probable tnat, should
His Excellency succeed IN de-
claring war against even an ehete
power, the country will be involved in "
sacrifice of lives and treasure, for which
even u third term would not compensate.
1t i, hardly probable that the American
people will consent to Mr.. GRANTS
securing 81 third term, and the imperial
purple by thi. means, any more than they
did to his enrching himself and friends

OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

Nobody whose desires are worth considering
can possibly want = war Of the United States
with Spain. or with any other country, even the
very weakest, on the the face Of the earth. Nor
has any such desire been entertained, ~ we be-
lieve, by the President O. by any one in high
authority about him, The President knows too
ss Soa sHG "ssth SPAIN in order to
third term under cover Of the excitement which
foreign war would cause insults him in the
vilest manner. Such crime would exceed any.
thing ever known in our history, the slAvehold.
ers' rebellion alone excepted.
The dispatches from Washington which We
print elsewhere show that the recent negotiA-
tons with the Spanish government relate solely
to the greater protection Of our own citi zens.
Many of them have been barborously used, in
person and estate, by the Spanish
authorities in Cuba, and our government has
now firmly demanded that there be greater
guarantees Of justice afforded them. This, 1t
seems, the Madrid government has conceded or
is likely to concede. Pending the negotiations,
our navy has been put in better shape, ~ pre-
cautionary step, and il 1t should appear that the
concessions we ask, and to which we are justly
entitled, are granted, there is no intention to
use the ships for any hostile purpose.

other nation, that person may we'll pause and b.
