Important Negotiations with thc Span? lota Keatent. The Washington correspondent of tho Phila? delphia Ledger writes under dato of Thurs? day : The President Bald this morning that no con? clusion will be reached in the Cuban matter till Marshal Serrano shall be beard from. No news from Madrid bas been received here since last week. ; It is now transpired that a privato gentle? man, an intimate triond of Captain-General Prim, left New York for Madrid two days ber fore General Sickos, and reached Madrid a week before tbe latter. On bis arrival ho laid tho wholo of General Sickles' instructions be? t?re the Captain-General and Marshal Serrano, ' to ascertain tbo feeling before a. formal pre? sentation by the Minister, and reported to tbe administration in this country that the propo? sitions advanced had been very favorably re? ceived. The moat important proposition con? tained in these instructions was ono bug geating, in a friendly manner, to main, that they agree to tbe appointment of a mixed commission, composed of Span? iards aqd Cub mu, or a Spaniard and a Cuban, who shall meet in tbe Ci ty of Washing? ton, and fix upon a price, at which the Island shall be sold to the. Cubans. It is said, also, that tbo name of Presidont Grant is montioned to be appointed president of the commission, but I cannot vouch for the correo tn ess ot that. Tbe island of Cuba, by an agreement of this kind, would be paid for from its own revenues, and the statement that the United States offers in any way to guarantee the bonds, there ie tbe best authority for stating, is unqualifiedly false. The Cubans claim that the oustoms collections will pay any reasonable sum in a very .short time, and they ask no foreign aid to make the paymeut. Marshal Perruno, Begopt of Spain, and Cap? tain-General Prim are now considering the matter. In the Cabinet at tho White House yesterday, the subject was broached and dis cussed, butno definite result oas reached. We shall bear from Madrid in a few days. Mean? time, those who seem to know most, and who ought, entertain no fear that tho propositions will be agreed to by Spain. If they are not, then ali concedo that the next no! ion of our administration will be to show a considerably relaxed -disposition towards Cuba, wbicb will amount to a virtual recognition of ber inde? pendence. A representative of the Cuban Jun? ta, now here, is in unusually good Bpirils, and professes to know that ute independence of Cuba will be an accomplished fact before the end of the year." xorjs Aim MiTjiuER.

But this, for a great nation, would bo decided? ly infra dig. How do oibei groat nations man? age thiB little matter? We all know very well. They build ships, frigates, steamers and Iron? clads, mount them with men and cannon, and sond them lo cir um navigate the globe with their flag flying over them.

Thus do the United States, England ana France, and not only all the civil? ized nations, bnt the savages of Behring Straits.
