Wersations; and as regards anything that has been dene there, the question is as tar from justment as when last { entered into it at some in letters to you. My information on this héad Tt rs that after this government had agreed to return the 86,000 fine,M. Sartorius saw Mr. Soulé and expressed 4. strong wish that means could be found amicably and fin- ally to settle the diggtte between the countries. This ing eaid in the course of non-official conversation, as a private wish of M. the American minister, taking it in the light of an to him to lend his good offices to the terwinatiowof the gmenlty, did point out @ manner in which he thought it “night be conc! juded to the satisfaction of both parties.

Goliano’s papers and instructions bad reference to the settlement of old affairs pending between the two countries, and had nothing to do with the Black War. rior; but Mr. Soulé, itappears, was too well informed to be put off with such idle tales, and doubtless considering that a well intended attempt on his part to facilitate the friendly arrai ent of a troublesome affair had been amet with duplicity and underhand dealing, he referred M. Calderon’s note to the United States government, from which he awaits instructions before proceeding fur- ‘thor in the business. This chain of circumstances, and the actual position of the case, are not generally known here; but to a few persons they are known, and I must say that I have heara some of those whose re- rd to fair play and straightforward conduct is superior the narrower fee! of nationality, strongly censure the proceedings of Ministers in this last phase of the affair, in which Mr. Soulé, upon the other hand, appears ‘to have acted in a manner tending to refute the c! nee brought against him of sharp practice and » hostile dis- porition in the earlier stages of the question, Tho Span- ish government, whose representatives at the Havana— as I have in former letters shown—certainly brought it into trouble by their too abrupt departure from a usago which, althou it may have been illegal, had long been tolerated by their predecessors in office, no | x makes ® small concession and intimates, with Boomtn cordiality and sincerity, a wish that the Ameci- despatches and oral i jan would point out to thom how the affair ight be amicably terminated, than he, putting aside ¢ feelings of antagonism and displeasure that may ve grown up in the course of the discussion, comes to ir uid in @ conciliatory spirit, I have no means of ing what the terms were in which Mr. Soulé thought Epain and the States might concur without humiliation to the former, and yet to the satisfaction of the latter. But 2hat is not'the question. While M. Sartorius was consult- fing Mr. Seulé almost as a friend, he and his colleagues ‘were preparing irect negotiation with the American ment, which is tantamount to saying that Shey find it impossible to arrange matters with that ‘oment’s representative here, and even toa hint | it they think Mr. Soulé may be contending for more Onerous terms than those whose delegate he is would be disposed to accept. From allIcan learn I cannot but ‘think that this affair might have long since been settled ‘with any country but Spain, whose statesmen have, un- fontunately, an ungonquerable addiction to procraatina- ion and to circuitous routes, and are, ay a rule to which ere are rare exceptions, the very opposites to atraight- orward men of business. Even if I were not ured that this is the present state of the negotiati pretty strong inference that dhe dispute had not ( ted in Paris) been completely Settled oleyen days ago, might be drawn from the facts that naval and military preparations for reinforcing Cu- ba are continued here with as much activity as Spanish administrations are capable of, and that 1,000,000 reals have just been decreed for strengthening ‘the fortifica- tions of Cadiz. The Finances of Spain. i {From the Madrid (May 20th) Correspondence of the London Times. It appeara that the decree for the forced loan was wotuslly sigoed and in print. the day before yesterday and would Jave spresred in the Gazetle of the 19th, ha; mot the at the eleventh hour, ordered it to be stopped, Yesterday wasa day of agitation and anxiety for Ministers. This morning the decree is published; but Lam assured that they are still uneasy, notwith- etapding that this important point has been carried. It 4s rumored that the Queen’s opposition to the measure ‘was merely a way she took of testifying her ill-will to- ‘wards her Ministry, and that there is an intrigue in pro @ress which may yet result in their dismissal. This may prove true, es ally a the present moment, when the illness of the Queen-Mother prevents her coming to their Support. My opinion is that they will either very shortly go out, or that, surmounting the perils that may at present surround them, and fortified in their finances by this forced contribution, they are likely to retain office for some time longer. The finances are always the great difficulty in this country, and a minister who can pay his ‘way has a pretty strong hold upon power, especially in | the present lukewarm temper of the ‘nation. The amount of the loan is, as was anticipated, 180,000,000 reals, or nearly two millions of pounds ‘sterling, be- ing the cstimate of six months’ direct taxes, levied on lands and houses, trade and manufactures. | The authorities are to request towns and individu als to subscribe for such amount, which is to be repaid in eight dividends, on the 80th of June and Bist of December of ‘the years to 1858. Those whe thus willingly subscribe within thirty days of the publication of the decrre are entitle {to six por cent discount, in addition to the six per cent interest | that is to be paid upon the loan. Provisi pts will be given for the amounts paid, and will be subse- ently exchanged for a series of Treasury bills. The irty days expired, the amount still wanting to make up the 180 millions’ will be compulsorily levied as taxes due, Individuals desirous of becoming government cre~ ditors at the rate of six per cent per annum, witha bonus of six per cent discount, may pay the whole amount that might be exacted from any province or provinces, town or towns, the preference being given to the provincial or municipal corporations the amount of the loan is to be paid into tho ‘Treasury within ten days after the expira‘ion of the thirty days allowed for voluntary subscriptions, and the other half before the end of next July. The Miaistor of Finance is charged with the carrying out of this decree, which he preludes with a long ‘exposition’’ of the mo- tives for submitting it, the chief of theso being the ne- sesaity of meeting the claims of holders of the floating debt, who of late have called in their capital, says the government document, ‘‘loubtless because they found more lucrative modes of investment, or out of fear of the complications now existing in Kurope.’’ Mistrust of the ¢evermment and opposition to its policy may also be luded among the reasons of the run upon th and of the refusal to renew its bills. It in as y 800n to dudes of the effect upon the public mind of this arbitrary measure, but there can be no doubt of its unpopularity THE EUROPEAN WAR. Annee “THE POSITION OF THE CONTENDING NATIONS.

An alliance in war creates a variety of peculiar | obligations, which are of so positive acharacter that they may be enforced by those courts of justice which administer the law of nations. profits of the war are to be shared, even when they | affect private interests; and an ally acquires the right to seize the vessels or property of & co-belligerent, if they are seized in any breach of the commission of any act contrary to the spirit of the | alliance. Such rights require to be exercised with great caution, especially where the allies mutually affected by them are two powerful maritime States, equally jealous | of the bonor of their flag, and which have hitherto adopted and practised very different maxims of mari- time law.
