From the highly interesting and important Spanieh intelligence which we published yester- day, it is manifest that the Africanization of Cuba has at length become the avowed and settled policy of the government of Queen Isabella. We recur to the debate in the Cortes of March 8, and to the following declaration of the Prime Minister, Senor Luzuriaga, which received on the spot the unanimous approval of the Assembly, We translate from the report of the Paris Presse. Speaking of Luzuriaga, in the afore- said debate, it says :—“ On this occasion the minister made a declaration which reflects the highest honor upon him, as well as upon the cabinet whose sentiments he expresses. He said that without invading the rights of established property—without refusing to compensate them by suitable indemnity—the Spanish government was finally decided to put anend to a éarbarous institution, which all civilized nations condemned, and which M. Luzuriaga did not fear to call a pest and a shame to humanity.” This is Africanization in an official, distinct, and emphatic shape. The slaveholders of Cuba are to be indemnified according to the British West India emancipation system, we presume, which has reduced Jamaica comparatively to a desert, and which probably contemplates no- thing more nor less than the ultimate organi- zation of all the West India Islands into a confederated free negro empire, under a European “balance of power.’ We suspect that England, at least, looks to some such ultimatum, and that the present government of Spain would prefer the transfer of Cuba to Soulouque for a trifle, to the cession of the island to the United States for double its value in ready money. « The Spanish government is finally decided” upon its course of action, It has discovered that African slavery is “a barbarous institu- tion;” that “all civilized nations condemn it;” an institution which the Spanish premier him- self does not hesitate to denounce as “a pest and ashame to humanity.” So we perceive that since the expulsion of the queen mother, Chris- tina, a great moral revolution has been worked out in the government ot her daughter. The pin money of Christina, as all the world knows, was derived for many years from her commie- sion, per capita, upon Atrican slaves saccese- fully landed in Cuba, in spite of international laws and Spanish treaties denouncing the traffic as piracy. It is also known that the Spanish authorities of the island shared in these pirati- cal profits, and that the Cortes at Madrid qui- etly connived at, if they were not directly im- plicated in the business. Whence this sudden revolution in Spain, which not only recoils upon the African slave trade, but upon the old-established and successful institution of slavery in Cuba, as “a pest anda shame to hamanity?”’ We may charge it to the ma- chinations of England and France, to the disaf- fected creoles of Cuba, to the filibusters ot the United States, to the mission of Mr. Soulé, and to the eonviction at Madrid that the Africaniza- tion of Cuba will be an infallible sateguard against the absorption of the island into the Ame- rican Union, and the only infallible barrier, henceforth and forever, to that consummation. The jealous vigilance of England, the mission of Boulé, the Ostend Conference, and the general filibustering pretensions apon which this Pierce administration set out upon its worse than ueeless experiments in European diploma- cy, have, however, been the chief’ instrumen- talities 40 the conversion of Spain.to the Ameri- can antielavery doctrines of the British aris- tocracy. We have thus had, since the return of Mr. Soul¢, two very significant declarations from the Spanish Cortes, or national Legisla- ture, unanimously adopted, to wit :— Ist. That the sale of Cabs would be the sale of the national honor. 2d. That the supreme government has finadly decided upon the policy of the abolition of slavery in the island. The first of these declarations closes the door to the acquisition of Cubp by diplomacy, The if adopted, bring Spain and her protectors, England and France, to an immediate ‘settle- now repeat, that we may dictate to’ Spain asd her allies our own terms of a permanent adjust- ment; whereas, by a postponement, even till next December, the game may be lost. For-as or against us, the present crisis, from all appearances, on both sides of the Atlantic, determines ‘the “manifest destiny’ of Cuba. Will the administration be content with the poor expedient of sending Mr. Dodge to Madrid? Let them rather make a clean breast of it, con- fees their sins and’ their imbecility, admit the danger, and, urging the necessity of action, throw themselves upon the mercy and the pa- triotism of a new Congress, fresh from the peo- ple. Let Mr. Pierce call an extra session, lay his case before it like a man, and abide the result. What has he to lose?

After these notable examples we are not sur- history of his mission to the Court of Spain, with a fall exposure of all the secret wire-pull- the various interesting and spicy epi- sodes, in the shape of court intrigues, court amusements, court mystifications and affairs of honor, by which this most remarkable of modern diplomatic missions was diversfied. Judging by the ability, liveliness of imagina- tion and causticity displayed in Mr. Soulé’s official correspondence, we anticipate a prodi- gious success for his book. It will be read by every one in the two hemispheres who takes the slightest interest in European politics. No man—not even excepting Louis Napoleon or the late Emperor Nicholas—has been more talked about, more written about, more vilified, or perhaps more misunderstood, than Mr. Soulé. Such, at all events, is his own impression, and he is justified in endeavoring to set himselt right with the world, the more particularly as the executive at Washington does not seem over-anxious to aid him in the effort. As a business speculation,-we do not know apything more profitable to which Mr. Soulé could at present turn his hand. His book will Prove a perfect mine of gold to him. With such a card to play, he could well afford to despiee the salary of Ambassador to Spain, even it was, and would still continue to be, with so much opprobrium, vexation, personal annoy- ance and danger. This is the age of great po- litical and personal revelations. State-craft has no longer any secrets from the multitude, their sorrows to the public. Pamphlets, auto- biographies and political memoirs crowd fast and thick upon us, taking away our breath by the novelty, the importance, the piquancy or the scandal of their disclosures. The richest, raciest, most instructive and amusing of all these valuable contributions to the literature of the day, will, however, be this forthcoming narrative of Mr. Soulé. He has so much to tell that we want to know, and that we can’t get at, owing to the care that has been taken by the administration to withhold it from us, that all the world will be in a perfect fever of curiosity until his book makes its appearance, A rifacimento of all the political and personal gossip of the European courts—an exposure of all the secret springs of action and motives of the; leading political parties of the Old World, and a vindication of the author’s conduct throughout the most critical and trying cir- cumstances, aggravated, as it was, by treachery in the quarter from which he had most reason avidity on both sides of the Atlantic.

THOMPSON—TaE SUP= PRESSED EXECUTIVE OOMMUNICATION—FatCICAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE ASSEMBLY—THE MANHATTAN GAS COMPANY—THE TEMPKKANOE BILL, ETC., BTC. ALBANY, April 2, 1855, Since last Wednesday—secret executive session day— when his honor, Lieutenant Governor Raymond, aston- ished everybody by voting to confirm the nomination of Dr. Thompson as Health Officer, rumors have circu- lated quite extensively that everything was not on the square in that executive session. On Saturday it be- eame directly charged that Governor Clark sent « mes-, wenger to that secret session, with a commu-ication withdrawing Thompson’s name. This document waa never placed before the Senate, and people outside and, Senators inside gaped with wonder at ita suppression, Senators themselves felt implicated; the Lieutenaat Gor- ernor and the Clerk were both placed ina very unpieasant: position, as the public were gazing upon them wich great reasons for suspicion of having withheld » paper from, the Senate, tranrmitted by his Excellency the Governor. Senator Butts, not willug that sueh rumors suould Jonger be tolerated, offered & ible and resolution, this morning, setting forth the and ordering the appointment of a committee to investigate the atfair. After a desultory debste fcr half an hour, in which a, majority decidedly avored an investigation, the mater was dropped for the preeent, Now, here is divulged one of the most high-hasded transactions ever recorded in a deliberative body The Governor, for reasons best known to himself, places i the hands of one of his confidential friends # doc»ment addreesed to the Senate or iss presiding officer. Instead ot delivering it, this friend took the responsibility of suppressing it, and the Senate proceeded with ity delib- rations, in secret seasion, entirely ignorant that the Go- vernor desired to withdraw the came of the candidate whom he had previously recommended. His Excellency, undoubtedly, bad the best of reasons for withdra Thompson; he bad been importuned by hundreds of ther Wisest and most judicious friends in the city of New York end other parts of the State, not to thrust Thomp- son into the best office in his gift, when there were 20 mapy men more capable and more deserving, both as peace and political persons, Mr. Di insoa im- ated that he received a private note from the Gover- nor, permitting him to exercise his with the * communication, aud still, Mr. D. decla did not know the contents of the document. The in ition will elicit the fact whether the las note was written by Governor Clark on Wednesday, or at some sudsequent period, te meet the exigency which had happened. The resolution wiil be adopted when again taken up, and ther the public will ascertain the fact, whether Myron H. Clark or Abpam B, Dickinson was elected Governor im November. § One thing is absolutely certain- The confirmation of Thom, to the ground, for this reason. The * nent to the Senate by peon withdrawal of his nomination was ‘the Governor before any vote upon it was taken. Dur- ing. the discussion that withdrawal was in possession of a tor, whe chose pot to communicate it, Therofore it will appear in evidence that when the vote was taken toconfirm, there was absolutely no nomination for Health Officer before the Senate. And when Thom; , applies for the keys of the Marive Hospital, he will be met by Doctor Bartlett with a quo warranto, compelling him to show by what right and title he aspires to the health office. “The Senate voted under a mistaxen idea me was before hereas ar, that it was withdra The act of withbolding it from the Senate does not vitiate the Governor’s intentiony’ ¥ The farce of a call of the House waa continued nearly Letina morning mesons Aa Lory epi ap y were paraded before "s chal ant rendered their exouses.
