MR, MAROY’S INSTRUCTIONS TO MR. SOULE. fNo. 2) DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Wasuingron, July 23, 1863, Sm—There are circumstances in the affairs of Spain having conmection with \his country which give uouaual importance at this time to the mission to that govern- ment. The proximity of her remsining possessions in bis hemisphere—the islands of Cade and Porto Rico—to he United States, the present condition of the formor, and the rumors of contemplated changes in its internal flairs, complicate our relations with Spain The island f Cuba, on account of its magnitude, situation, fine <limate and rich produetion:—tar superior in all respects © any in the Wert India yroup—is a vory di cession to Spain, and, for the same reasons, ver; cult for her to retain in its prevent state of dependence. The opinion ginerally prevails among the Kuro- pean nations that the Spanivh dominion over is im- secure. ‘This was clearly evinced by the alaccity wit which both England and France, on oveasion of the late distnrsances in Cuba, volunteered their aid to in the Spanish rule over it, and oy their recent propOdition to the Luited States fora tripartite coa- Vention to guarantee ite porsession to Spain, Without an rateatial chunge to ber potic change as she will most likely be unwilling he canuot, at is confidently beieved, long sustai uvaijed, ber present connection with that island, What will by its destiny after it sell cease to be a dependency of Spain, is a question with which some of the principal Powers of Kurope have seen fit to concera themaulyes, in which the United States have 4 ceep aad direct interest T had occasion recently, in pr-paring instructions for our Minister to Londow, ‘to preveat the views of the President in relation to the 1ater‘erence of Great Britain, as well a4 France, ip * * * * Cuban affairs, To spare myself the labor of again going over the same srecns t Megneaan faraieh you with aa extract from hore instructions. The policy of the government of the United States in regard to Cuba, in any contingency calling for our ia- terposition, will depsrid in a great degroe upon the pecu Var circumstances of the case, and cannot, therefore, now be presented with m»ch precision beyond what is indicated in the instructions betore referred to, No- thing wll be done om our part to disturb its preseot conection with Spain, unless the character of that con- nection should be 80 changed as to atlect our present Of prospective seourity. While the United States would resist at every hazard the traaMerence of Cuba to any Kuropean nation, they would exczedingly regret to see Spain resorting to any Power fcr arsisteuce To upboki her rule over it, Such @ in effect, invest the the character of a protector, and give it vioterfere im ovr affairs, aod also generally {the North American coptinent, In case the United Staves, such protecting if be in weonsition to wake nearly the same island to annoy ua as it could do if it were the absvinte porvesnor ot it. We bave recenily learned, in the iovtauce of Central America, what a protectorate mesons, ul to what uses it may be devoted. Thee is ut @ very great difference between the pro- Actor aud ‘he possensor of a terriory, and when the possensor ix week and the protector strong, the distinc tiom, we appre bend, would in eect bo annihilated. one im reslity furnishes the same pretext for interfering im the concerns of neighboring vations as the other. While Spwim remains in fact, as well asin namo, the sovereign of Cuba, she can depend apon our maiataining our duty as neutral nation towards her, however diffl- cult it may be. In this respect the future will be as the past has been. She is fully aware of the efforts this government has made on late occasions to preserve our neutral relations with her. In these efforts she has the moat indubitable proof of our determination to respect her rights, ang cannot expect or ask more or cther assurances than our past course of conduct bas given, cf our friendship and of our intention to do everything which depands upoa thia government to strengthen and improve it. Our neutrality laws are, { believe, as stringent as those of any other country; they could cot be made More restrictive without violating the const'tutional rights of eur citizens. In the archivos of the legation there is a copy of these laws, to which you can readily refer, should it become necessary, to show that the leninlative branch of our government bas been ns care- {ul to provide means of preserving our peaceful relations with other nations #8 the ex-cutive has been prompt and energetic to use them for that purpore, (ur coun- try is open te the recept.on of tue citizens and subjects of all nations. Millions have reoounced their patural allegiance and selected the United States for their homes. Those who are born bere, as well as those who have come from foreign lands, are not, ani caunot be, placed under obligations to remain among us. Our government oun lay no reatraints upon their emi- gration if they ha yocted oar Inws whilt under its jurisdiction. “It cannot make twquisition ivto the mo- tives which induce them to withcraw from our country, por restrain them on the grovne of suspicion that thoy may not, while out of our jurisdiction, respect the rights of these nations which are ut pesce with the United ‘States. Wherever oppression bas provoked revolt. the aultorera are ever the objectsof sympathy Ardent ant sath astic epiriis rally to their standard. Shontd the rule of Spain over C. tw be Bo severe as to excite rovolutionary movemer's in that island, she will undoubtedly find volunteer: in the ranke of the Cubans from various coun- tries, and, owing to very obvious cuu-es, more from the Gnited Sta‘cs provably than from auy other; but it would be umgust to itapute to this and the other governments te which these volunt:ers formerly belonged an unfriend- disposition towards her, or a desire to aid claudes tinely in the attempt to wrest that island trom he: ‘There is reason to believe that Spain herself, us well as other European governments, suspects that the people of the Uuited States are desirous of detaching Cuba from its present transatlantic dependence, regardles: of the rights of Spain, with a view of annexing it to tl Union; and that our goverament was disposed to con nive al the participat‘on of our citizens in tho past dis- ¢urbances in that island, and would again do so on the recurrence of similar events. Our defence against auch an unfounded suspicion, and the only one which self- respect allcws us to make, fe an appeal to our past course In the + dependerce on foreign aid would euxiliars wit wa which you may present in regard to Cuba, you will net with reference to this suspicion, and do what y. 0 cxn to allay st, and to iospire a just confl- dence ia cur fair intentions in this as well as in other respects, Our Minis‘er at Madrid, during the administration of Presidemt Polk, was instructed to arcertaia if Spain was Gisposed to transfer Cuba to the United States fora Uberal pecuni consiceration. I do not understand, however, that i¢ was at that time the policy of this go: vernmert to acquire that island uoless its inhabitants ‘were very generally disposed to concur tn the transfer. Under certain conditions the Unitei States might be williag to purchase it; butitis scarcely expected that ou will find Spaio—should you attempt to ascertain fer views upon the sabjest=at all inclined to enter into such negotiation. ‘There is reason to believe that she is un tor obligations 40 Great Britsin and France not to transfer this island to the United States. Were there nothing elae to justify this belief but the promptuess with which these two powers sent their naval forces to her aid io the late Cu- ban disturbances—the proposition for a tripartite con vention to guarantee Cuba to Spain—and, what is more significant fian either of the above facts, the sort of joint by England and France, to which [ adverted in my instructions to “r, Buchanan, against some of the views ited in Mr. Everett’s letter of the 2d of December to Mr. Sartiges, the French Minister— would alone be satisfactory proof of such an arrange- ment. Independent of any emberrassment of tus na- ture, there are many other reasons for believing that Spain will pertinaciously hold on to Cuba, and that the separation, whenever it takes place, will be the work of violence. In the present aspect of the case, the President docs not deem It proper to authorize you to make aay propo- sition for the purchase of that island. There is now no hope, as ha believes, that such a proposition would be favorably received, and the offer of it mgbt and proba- bly would, be attended with injarious effects. Without making approaches to the Spanish authorities br md this met you may be able to get intormation that may be important in shaping ovr future policy in regard to Cuba, It {a very desirable for this government to know, and your position may enable you to ascertain, what ar. ita have been made with Great Britain and France with 'd to sustaining the present dominion ‘of Spain over Cubs, and how far Mhey, or either of them, ‘are urging a change in the internal condition of the island, particularly in ae to the alaves now there, or to the present system of labor. ‘The views of the President. are presented as explicitly ‘an they well can be at this tims io the extract which nc- companies these instructions, as to what would be tre policy of this government in certain coctingencies there alluded to, It may be that you will find spain disposed to take a wise forecast of the future, and thus anticipate ‘an inevitable event. She cannot but see that at no dis. tant period Cuba will release itself, or be released, from ite it colomal subjection. In one way or another, these ties will be revered. In view of the «trong pro Dillty, not to say the certainty, of such an event, “prin — in a manaer consistent with her aatio hovor and advante is to her interests, anticipate this coe it ive birth to aa indep»nitent nation of her ows ing, at the same tice, a commercial fa'ere with it as profitable he can have in « connectioa up held and prolonged by force. i If Cuba een exsacipated from a Furopean do. mination, the United States would probably be relieved from ail’ the aoxieties they now feel in regard to its future destiny, It would, in thet cave, full ascossarily into the American continental system, and coatribute to its stability, instead of exposing &t to danger. You will, if @ fair oocasion be offered, favor this view of the ase; but, at the come time, take special care not to ex- cite suspicions of sinister views on the part of this go- vernment, nor to woun! the sensibility of an aad‘ent and proud nation The United States would cordially favor such & voluntary separation, and, if necessary to effect it, would be willing to contribute somthing more substantial than their go-d will towards an object so de sirable to thom; but what they would do in furtherance of it cannot be precisely specified unt it jc more dis tinctly seem what would be required on their part to se curs [ts accomplishment On this {aterenting subject this department is vory desirous of obtaining early and fall information, not pez Of be ripwa Of ue guverament of Spain and the NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1855.

Your position, it is believed, Willenable you to ascertain these views with conshler: accuracy. When the nature of your communications is such as to require secresy, F ‘are requested to use proper Precautions to efiect that object. Should it be necessary wo i) for that purpose, the pense thus incurred wil) be allowed in the settlement of your accounts. I do not, however, apprehend that your means of ution need go further than to insure the delivery of four most im nt despatches to our dea- itch iia London, In most instauces it will be safe use the ordinary mode of transmitting them, ‘There are other matters loss delicate and itaportant, yet of much interest to the country, to which I will di- Tect your attention, ‘On the supposition that no change isto take place in the relations between Spain and Cubs, that arbitrary wer by the former is for some time looger to repress iscontent in the Iatter, this government has aright to demand exemption from the aunoyances which are like. ly to resuit from such @ condition of things. Our flag must be respected and our commerce relieved from em- barrassment by the Cuban authorities. The United States will not submit to have their merchant vossels, though in the vie nity of thatislaud, searched or de tained on their lawful voyagas. ‘This department has already had occasion to present several complaints of our citizens fer wrongs to their persons and property to the government of Spaia, but these complaints have not received the attention ‘thoy deserved, Demands of indemnity for injuries have been answered by unsatisfactory explanations. Our steamships, on their trips be'ween New Orleans and New York, bave been unreasonably detained oo sevoral cocasions at the port of Havana, causing serious detri- ment to their owners and great annoyan:e to numerous passengers on board. Spain ought to be aware that tue frequent occurrence of these cases of irritation, even if the acts complained of could be justified by the extra- ordinary powers vested im the local authorities of that island, tend to impair the amicafle relations between tne two countries, I trust that you will be able to convince her Catho- lic Majesty's yoverninent of the impolicy, a8 well as injustice, of this conduct on the part of its Cuban agents, and the injurious consequences which must result from a persistence in this coarse. If tho unquiet condition of Cuba has reodered it necessary, in t! judgment of Spain, to adopt stringent aod harsh Measures towards her own subjects in that colony, in order to restrain outbrenk and enforce obedience to her rule, she is bound to take every precaution to pre- vent the evils of such a policy from reaching the citizens of other governments. Uur past experince shows that when such is the case, these evils are aggravated by bs embarrassments thrown in the way of ovtaining re. Tees, ‘The Captain-General is not vested with the power of holding political intercourse with the governments or consuis of the injured or complaining party. The appesl for redress is required to be made to the authorities of Maérid, This necessarily produces much delay, therehy sgeravating wrongs and increasing ircitation, whece speedy explanations might be satisfactory. You are instructed to bring this subject to the atien- tion o! her Catholic Majesty’s government, and arge up €n it the importance of an arrangement for the expedt- tious settlement of diMiculties, which will undoub edly ariee, as unfortuvately thoy have heretofore too often arisen, in the intercourse ot our citizens with Cuba. When the compiainte of our citizens have been predented to the court at Madrid, they have not racsived prompt attention, and redress has been evaded by delay. There aro some cases now pending, as you will per- ceive by the papers inthe archives of the legation at Madrid. to which you are expected to give early atten- tion, while there “are others which, after protracted ne- gotiation, seem to have been laid aside. Ina future communication I shall probably bring the latter to your notice, with particular instructions in relation to tuem. There is not now, nor bas there ever been, a commer- cial treaty between the United States and Spain. That of 1795 was what it purported to bea treaty of friendship, limits and navigation,” it contained but few clauses relative to trade between the two sountrivs, and those clauses, by the construction which Spain has given to the treaty, do not apply to our commorcial in tercourse with her colonies, in respect to which regula- tions are particularly required, In the direct trace between the two countries, tonnage duties have becn equalized by legislation, ani simuar eflect was attempted to be produced in the same way ia regard to import duties in the colonial trate, ‘but with vory ill success. Our legislation on that subject, articularly the act of 1834, has failed in its obd- Jeet, which was to induce Spain to abanioa her Ceacriminating duties on the cargoes of vessels in the ports of her colonies; ithas operated injuriously on the trade of both countries, more yo probably on tne trade of the United States than on that of Spain. Sho still ersisis in the discrimination in favor of Spanish vessels, y imposing a less duty on their cargoes, in her colonial ig than that imposed on the cargoes of foreign ves- rele, The United States, being prohibited by their constitu- tion from imposing an export duty, have counteracted this discriminution indirectly by an increased touuage uty on Spanish vessels clearing for a colonial Spauisa port equivalens to the amount of discrimination in their favor on their cargoes in such boy over the cargoes im- ported in American bottoms. The effectof this law has been to divert the trade in Spanish vessels between the colonies of Spain and the United States to other conn- tries, and to reduce our ex, a to these sotonies. Should the attempt which has been made in Congress to repeal the act of 1834 succeed, our commerce with Cuba and Porto Rico would still be em darrassed by discrimi pating duties, not likely to be removed except by a com- mefcial convention, Consiiering the proximity of Cuba to the Va'ted States, and the remoteness of Spain, together with the anount of our trade with her colonial possessions, it seems to be almost necessary that there should be al- lowed a qualified diplomatic intercourse between the Captain General of that island and our consul at Hava- na, in order to prevent ¢ifficulties, and preserve a good understandicg betw the two countries, Had suct an intercourse been open and free, some recent occurrences, which have created much irritation, might have beea prevented, or speedily arranged in a satisfactory maa- ner. ‘There aro several subjects of interest to the people of eachcountry, which might very properly be regulated by a commercial convention, Should you ascertain that the government of Spain is disposed to eater into such a convention, these subjects will be prosented to your consideration, with an authority to negotinte a commerciul treaty, Tne desire ou the part of tne Uni- ted States for such a treaty looks beyond mutual com- mercial advaatages—an important object to both na tions—it has regard to a better security for preserving the good understanding now tubsisting between this country and pai T am, sir, poctfully, your obedient servant, W.
