r 'Yeta||MMpeHQMVe(VtejM ABrVUlsi-** Havana,. December 16.?rTbe. we?-1 sage of President Grant: is generally discussed, without excitement, by the people., who do not attach rauch im? j portanoo to his allusion to Spain and Ouba. The authorities give no sign of their opinion, but journals have lengthy editorials, whioh, while they are not considered to reflect the senti? ments of the people in general, may suit the viewa of parties they respect? ively represent. The Vozde Cuba says the silence observed on Spanish affairs by the German Emperor in his speech to the Reiohstag is amply compensated for in President Grant's message. It is a noticeable coincidence the.* while the United States aspires to supremacy in America and Germany to supremacy in Europe, both are anxious to med? dle with the internal affairs of Spain. Aside from the desiro of these nutious to have peace iu Spain, her affairs cannot interest them so much as our? selves, und we must view their efforts with suspicion. Russia imposed silence on Germauy; we do not know who will make Grant silent. As for the in? surrection hero, on the strength and duration of whioh the President lays such strese, it is less powerful now than it was iu the beginning, and its endurance fails to give it any signifi? cance. We doubt if any power will interfere in Spanish affairs, at least in Cuba, but should they attempt inter? vention, we are prepared to repel it. The Diario, in uu article moderate in tone, says there is nothiug in tho mes? sage to cause alarm to the most timid. The present condition of affairs is not to bo compared with that of last year. There has been some excitement in the gold market over reports about tho message, to which we attribute the rise of one-eighth per cent, in premium. Referring to the military situation, the Diario declares affairs have impioved in the Eastern Department, while they show no change since the aatumn of 1873 in the Central Department, owing to continuous rains and many thou? sands of sick iu the army. As for rebele, only about a dozen of their origiual leaders remain. Others are dead or have left tho island. Their army numbers from 50,000 to 00.000 men, the majority of whom uro ne? groes and Chinamen leaders, who bold out for the sake of the power they eu joy, regarding it as compensation for their troubles. Negroes refuse to sur? render because they mistakenly believe they will bo reduced to thoir former condition of slavery if they glvi* up. The Diario concludes that foreign. t.a tions can but will uot interfere in tho internal affairs of the island. If tho duration of a war is a good reason for intervention, thou foreign powers! ought to have interfered iu the United States to stop the war with tho In? dians, which has lasted much longer tbun ours, and is not yet ended. Berlin, December 10.?It is ru? mored that Bismarck regards the no? tion of the Reichstag, yesterday, in voting that in order to uphold its dig? nity, the Constitution should be amended so as to prevent the arreet of a deputy during a session, as equiva? lent to a vote of want of cou?deuce, and is determined to resign. It is further said, that in consequence of this view of the Chancellor, the resolu? tion will be modified, at to-duy's sit? ting of the Reichstag. Paris, December 17,?A heavy snow crnshed the market, killing and injur? ing many persons. Specie increased 8,250,000f.

In a speech supporting bis amendment, ho said bo had no doubt it would be said thut this bill was intended to get clear of colored suffrage. Merrill, of Muinc, Tburmau and Bayard ar? gued that Congress was vested with I exclusive control of the District by the Constitution?the first named Senator said it was expedient to puss this bill, nud not have tbo history of this Dis? trict of the last tbrco or four yeurs re? peated; it hod boon too expensive lur repetition.

Upon nu. uiated as well as inanimate nature, tho frigid atmosphere produces a marked effect. The blood ir> driven from Ihn surface of the body i-..ck upon its iuncr fountains, and chills and fever, rheumatism, pulmonary diseases, bil? iousness and nnplcas:.:;'. disorders of tbostomuc'.' and bowels are apt to be the resultc.. .Now, what is required to fortify the ?y;;loui against I he attacks of diseatee thus engendered? Clearly n tonio, which, uutiu^ through the stomach upon tho circulation au-i the nervous system, ahull re-determine the vital fluid to tho surface, anil brace the nerve3 of motion aud sensation. But this is not all that is required. With the tonio must bo combined such alte? rative aud regulating agencies u6 will lend to keep the wtiolu animal ma? chinery "iu good working order." These three grand requisites of a winter restorative exist, in their fullest perfe*ctiou, in llostetter's Stomach Bitters, which arc compoauded of tho {purest vegetable stimulants aud ex? tracts of tho most genial and healthful roots, barks and plants that the her? balists and botanists of the world havu yet discovered. Defensiv? medication is a precaution which should uever be neglected whou danger is present, and, therefore, u course of the Bitters, at this season, iu particularly desirable, especially for the feoble and sickly. As a remedy for biliousness, tlyspepsia, nervousness aud bowol complaints, there is nothing comparable to this whoicBomo restora? tive. Decl8t31jl SttiiENCJi's Mandhake Pills will bo found to possess those qualities neces? sary to the total eradication of all bi? lious attacks, prompt to start tho se? cretions of the liver, und give a healthy toue to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in medical Bcience to have invented a remedy for these stubborn complaints, which do velop all tho results produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a minc rul justly dreaded by mankind, and ac? knowledged to bo destructive in tho extrcmo to tho human system. That tLo properties of certain vegetable.; comprise all the virtues of calomel, without its injurious tendencies, is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputa? ble, by scientific researches; and thoso who uso the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisliod that tho beat medicines are thtMO provided by nature in the common herbs and routs of the fields. These pills open the bowels and correct all bilious derangements without sali? vation or any of tho injurious effects of calomel or other poisons. Tho se? cretion of bile is promoted by the^o pills, as will be hc;'u by tho altered color of the stools, aud disappearing of the sallow complexion and demising of tho tongue.
