(From the London Times, Deo. 14.) Woe have read with interest, not unmingted with surprico, the very prolix correspondence published by the journals of the United States with reference te the policy of the American governmeat towards Spain, ia relation to Cuba. These documents have produced in compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives of the 4th of February and hone it is not for us to judge whether such publications aro or are not com- must bo allowed to express without reserve our opinion of tho unfounded and gratuitous asporsions thrown out, in the course of this correspondence, on the motives of other partics. The transactions to pers relate extend over a period of years; and our readers will learn, the whole of this period, if the langusge of the ministers and agents of the United States is to be believed, the exertions of American dsplomacy have beem directed to tho preservation of the just rigbte of Spain over the island of Cuba agaiust the rspacious and Sggreasive designs of other countries, and especially of Great Britain. | seems incredible that eo preposterous as delusion should ever have beon seriously entertained by the net of Washington ; but this correspondenco demorstrates that it has boen not only entor- taired, but acted upon during a long series of as the prinoipal ground of the poliey pursued by tho United States relation to Cuba. It may be remembered that reject for the seizure of Texas was justified by oral Jackson on similar pretexi The origin of this absurd story appears to be that, in June, 1827, the Spanieh Ambassader io leucon reperted to his government that he had Just beem informed by tho Duke of Welllngton (of ‘ail men !), that # frigate had been sent out by the Britich govermment some timo before, for the ex- press purpose of revola:iovizing the Canary Islands | apd Onba “to tho end that tao inhabitants might | be brought to declare themselves independent, aud to solicit the protection of the British.” On this Teport, which was communicated to the Amorican government, the President of that day took the alarm, acd immediately declared that it was “a seitied prirciple of the United States that the Isle ns of Cuba must in no event and under no pre- text pass into tho poesession or under the protection Heropean power other than Spain.” Ho trong contras’ between tho proceedings im- puted to Great Britain and those of tho United Btaces in us quarter, and urged the Spanish gov- ernment to rely on that of tho United States, “whose wish and policy it is to sustain the King’s wi \ tho existing stato of things in the ‘This language was carried on for twenty Ergiand was always represented as the ra- years ious ally, eager to obtain, at any prico and by aay violation of principle. pocscasion of this coveted island; and the United Siates were always ready, from the most disinterested motives, te renow their offers of protection, end even to aseure Spain that * im case of apy attcmpt, from whatever quarter, to ‘wrest irom Aer this portion of her territory, shonmy covanety rely upon the military eud naval resources of the United s:ates to aid her in preserving covering it.” Such are the words of Mr. I" inesr Mr. Vail, in 1810 Tt ls scarcely neccseary, in this country at least, to remark that not one atom of tangible evidence and re ‘orsyth’s ia produced in eu of the intentions thus loosely, and, we must impated to @roat Britain. it was not Eogiand, but the UnitedStates, whose attention had been thus acutely directed to the nave! aud military advantages of the possession of the Havana; and when American stateemon talked of their “‘sleeploes vigilance in watching quarter, owing to the supposed desigus of another power,” not one of them could be iguorant that the only designs irom Spain bed an: te fear wore those of Amoriosn citizens. The date of these ocourrences renders the sbsurdity of the charge more palpabl; evident, for it will hardly be belioved that England | sisting to place Queca Irabella LI. on the throne, to shakes off the burden of slavery, at an oxpense of twenty millions, and emancipated our own n We should covet the acquisition of an island con- teining six hundred thoumnd slaves.

It seems that the United Stratos mail steamship Pao'fic, Captain Nye, six days before her arrival in Liverpool, fell in with the ship James Stephens, of Irvine, bound from Quebec to Glasgow. ‘There was a very heavy sca running at tho timo—it blew @ perfoct gale. The James Stephens was waterlogged and on the point of sinking. As may be readily euppoeed, from the rivalry existing be- tween the companios which are contending for u- macy on the Atlantic, it was uo light matter for ‘aptain Nye te turn aside from his course. Of course we do not mean to say that as @ man of pro- ai feeling there was any alternative open to him ut that of saving his perishing fellow creatures 2 all reasonablo hazard and at whatever commercial risk. There is, however, auch a thing as cheerful, and such a thing as reluctant aid. There is all the difference in the world between assistance tendered for form’s sake, and the heroic detcrmination to reecuo & number of helpless men from peril or to inthe attempt. Captain Nyc—to his honor it spoken—did not hi ie for a moment as to the course he should As soon as the ship was descried and there was a suspicion that sho might be in danger, he gave orders to steer straight to the spot, that her real position might be ascertained. Nothing, certainly, could well be more hopeless than the situation of tho James Stephens and of her ocrew—fow things less probable, considering the siate of the weather, than that any effective as- aistance could be rendered to them. Captain Nye, however, had @ lifeboat lowered down, and the brave fellows who manned her strained ev-ry nerve to approach the wreck. The sea was running too high for them, and tho fury of the storm mus: | have reat indeed when such mon as thess were obliged to return, and confess themselves fairly beaten by the poweroftheeloments Still Captain Nye would not be turned from his benevolent pur- pose—he refused to leave the crew ef the sinkin, ship to a fate inevitable if he deserted them, bu waited for hours and hoursuntil the weather should moccrate, or some favorable chence should turn up which would give him the opportunity of taking the crew off the wieck. Again, after a long delay, the lifeboat was manned, and again her crow alied for the waterlogged ship. This time their efforts were crowned with success, and they had the happinesa of traneferring the ship’s company of the James Stephens from their own sinking vessel to the deck ofthe Pacific We are told that the passengers by the steamer who wituessed the exertions of the mon —and who were, therefore, in the best situation to appreciate their merita—instantly entered into a subscription to reward the crew of the lifeboat, and $500 were collected on the spot. This is as it should bo, a8 far as the men are concerned ; but it would not be amiss that Capisin Nye should receive soms mark of the opinion entertained in this country of his humanity and singular energy under sach trying circumstances. It iv by his rorolution that so many of our countrymen have beon rescued from a watery Bravo. A pecuniary reward to auch a man, and for fuch an act, would of course be simp'y offensivo ; but it is possible in many ways to evince our grati- tude to this gallant seaman for the service he has performed. The American Expedition to Afcica. (From the Liverpool Albion of Deo. 6 } Ja ow fifth page appears 2 statement, oepiod from the New Youx Hgnaxp, of the 17th ult , announo- ing that the United States government have ‘‘com- pleted arrangements for deepatching a scientifio and exploring expedition to Central Afrioa, with a view ot finding a healthy position some distance inland, fitted for the cporpene of colonizstion.” America, therefore, while her roots are so rapidly sproading aud vigorously shooting in every direction through- out her own continent, sceks to extend them into remote districts. What may be her reazon for en- tertaining thezo views, whether for the furtherance of her ambition, the extension of her trade, or some polioy connested with the probable destiny of the dark races on her own soil, is not made manifest, nor can we pause to inquire. Tho cabinet at Washington, it will be secn, have observed some secrecy in the matter, though with what view it is difficult to conceive. The HERALD, however, bossts an peqesintancs with the leading facts, and spoaks of the colonizing views of the American government with complete confidence. Whatever may be the object of the expedition, the carnestnees of the government may be taken for granted, from the fact of their having entrusted the manegement of tho expedition to Commander Lysch, whose explorationson the Dead Sca were conducted with so much energy, ability, accurate knowledge, and scientific skill. ‘Thus, if the Hynaxp’s statement be trae—and there scoms no reason to doubt it—while France is Ae] ngland | tf se E colonization on the north of Africa, and on the south and west, America is sbout to found colonies in tho interior.

She is pro- vided with tubular boilors, which are fired trom amidships, and the veseel has ca;acity for stowing 1,200 tons of coala, besides cargo. Externally, the Arabia appears smaller than the other veesele at first sight, though she is really larger, but this may be accoumted for by her only ho. /pg two masts instead of three, as in the formor thips. But the vessel hastwo cbimnies. The Ara- bia is almost a fac simile of the La Plata, of which we recently gave an account, and which vessel, by the way, was origizally the Aravia, until the Royal West Inia Mail om any based her, and eho is now the crack ship of that The Arabia hasa beautiful Sguro head, carved by Mr. Arohibald Ro- bingon, of this town, representing an Arab chief in @ warlike attitude, and her stern, which is elliptical, is orasmented with carvings appropriate to the vem cel’s name. In the internal arrangements the Arabia resom- bles the La Plata very much. She has a promenade deck running tac entire length of the vessel, as well as & good roomy deck below. Beneath this deck aro tho sslocns, steward’s pantry, &o. Lhe latter is ‘upuevally commodious, and its fittings and furntsh- ings alone are valued at £2,000, exclusive of wines and etores. Between this pantry and the saloon, two well furnished libraries have been placed Tho saloon itself is a most elegant aparfment, capableof dining 160 peracvs. A diflurent aty'e has been adopt- edin this salcon from what has obtained in the other shipsof the line As the vessel has mo mizon- mast, the :aloon forms aa unbroken apartment, and the absence of the mast bas also given an opporta- Bity to introduco a glacs cupola, filled with stained fit +4, by Mr. Cairne, of Glasgow, on which is om- Icmaticaliy represented tho four quarters of tho globe, with Jupiter and Neptune as supporters, and @ bordering of roses so beautiful that one would long to pluck them.
