Legation of the United States, I Madrid,' Jan. 28, 1855. } j Sib—At the audience with which I was i honored by your Excellency on the night of | the 13th inst., I took occasion to address i you relative to the grave and delicate char- | acter of relations subsisting between the | United States and Spain, and to the crisis which they might lead to, if the difficulties which had so seriously disturbed them were not speedily brought to a satisfactory solu tion. Though I had long labored under a painful state of despondency with reference to my ever being able to incline Spain to a more conciliatory course that which she had heretofore pursued, I was still willing to hope, with the present more auspicious com- ? flexion of her government she might recede rom her past policy, and at last do justice to claims of which no argument would im peach the justice or deny the moderation. Your Excellency will see at once, with the most emphatic assurance, that the gov ernment of Her Catholic Majesty were more anxious to remain on terms of friendship with all the Powers of the earth, and with none more than with the United States. I could not but observe that those were noble THE WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY EVENING. Terms—$2 00 per unnum, invariably in advance. SATURDAY, MARCH. 17. Mr* Soule and tire Administration. In less than one week we are sure that we have seen fifty reports spread through the prints from every section of tho country, predicting a speedy burst up of the Cabinet, arising from private grievances springing up between the cabinet and ministers abroad. but of which the United States had never yet witnessed the practical results. That abuses of the most aggravated nature had been suffered io lie year after year unattend ed, and indeed, utterly unheeded; and that they still hang gloomily from the docket in which thev stand recorded, both at the Americau Legation and her Majesty's State Department. To this your Excellency re sponded by the pointed remark, “ That Spain lmd dono all that could be expected of her with a tendency to enter with tho United States into convention, though which should be submitted to arbitrant all causes of difficulty now pending between them.”— I then replied that the government of tbe United States would doubtless have acceded to the offer made by Spain, if it bad not em braced other cases than those depending on disputable facts, or on principles of a doubt ful import; that most of those now on issue were of a nature not to admit of tho pro posed remedy ; that, for instance, the cap ture of her Majesty’s armed cruisers, in Mr. Soule lias figured largely in these re ports, aud it lias been time and again round- j t; me 0 f peace, and within waters not of her ly asserted that our Minister to Spain was forced to resign his post because Mr. Marcy had compromised him by his interference and his instructions. The letter we give this morning, from Mr. Soule to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs,shows plainly that he had placed tho Spanish Government on terms, and that his withdrawal from the Court of Madrid was the result of a settled purpose, in case the matters in controversy between the two powers were not adjusted or at least put in a train of settlement.— Not the slightest respect has been shown our Government in the recent attempt made by us to come to a better understanding with Spain, aud what little was shown to our Minister was extorted by tho Game Cock we had upon the ground to represent the na tional spirit. From first to last, we have been proud of the bearing and port of Mr. Soule, and so far us tho dignity and force of position has been concerned no man we have had abroad with him lias challenged half the notice or respect. But what are we io do, now our Minister lias returned with out indemnity or apology ? If he failed we feel sure almost any other negotiator wc could have sent would have not only failed, but have returned home disgraced. Sonic had to heard the whole Spanish ministry and tight, or offer to fight, half the ambassies near the court, to escape disgrace himself. The cap ture of the Susan Loud and the Georgiana out of Spanish water—theburning shame put upon us by tho Black Warrior affair—the search of the Manchester—tho rummage of our mail bugs—the insult time after time of our flag by firing into our merchantmen Majesty’s jurisdiction, of vessels sailing un der the llag of the Union, as had been tho case with the Georgiana and the Susan Loud, die search practised on board of the Manchester, though found engaged in the prosecution of a legitimate voyage; the fir ing at sea into unoffending steamers; the stopping to overhaul them of mail bags in their transit to the ships that were to con vey them to their destination ; the arrest of peaceable citizens without reasonable cause; their confinement and seclusion in dark dungeons, and their judgment in flagrant violation of most solemn treaty stipulations, constituted wrongs of too grievous a nature to have given encouragement to the slightest hope that the United States would ever ho induced to submit to the plain, clear and in disputable right, growing out of them, to the perilous issue of an arbitration; that the United States, in their anxiety to re move all causes of future disagreement, had made repeated aud strenuous exertions to induce her Majesty’s government to estab lish, in concert with them, such relations between tho Captain General of the Island of Cuba and their Consul at Havana, as would enable those officers to interpose their authority whenever similar causes should occur, and thus obviate the never ending delays and the unendurable disgusts ever attending their adjustment on a distant court, when they had spared no efforts to persuade tho government of her Majesty to join them in an attempt to give efficacy to the expectations held out in tlic second arti cle of the treaty of 1795, by which the two contending parties, the United States and Spain, were to give their mutual commerce all the interest and favor which the advan tage and the intercourse of both nations might require; and that your Excellency knew by what ‘‘ Spain had sueceei that it was time —the murder of those proud hearts from , know what were Spain’s resolves; that I which flowed into the Spanish soil more good blood than now circulates in Spanish veins—all this is j et hooked against Her Catholic Majesty, and our humble suit for redress scoffed at. Now wc ask our breth ren of the press what use is there for all this equivocal indirectness of approach to Spain in seeking redress ? Why entertain any argument at all about “ seizure,” in case we cannot get “cession,” when justice, had trusted my humble powers at persuasion would bring to bear on tho government of her Majesty ; that I had arrived at the pain ful conviction that it were idle for ina to ex pect that I could ever out-ballance the weight of prejudice which heretofore para lysed my movements and rendered my exer tions abortive ; that unless within the com ing fortnight I should receive from your Excellency, such intimations as might war rant the hope of a speedy change in dispo sitions of her Majesty’s government, I A Noble Deed.—During the night of No- The First Sentence Under the Duel- vember 25th last, in a thick snow storm, Lisa Laws at New Orleans.—Juan Pays, sMysAft j «* *— Canadian schooner Conductor, Capt.

Another act of madness has been perpe trated by the Cuban authorities, with re spect to the steamer El Dorado, Captain plication to relations between this Govern ment and Spain. It is stated tbat she near ed Cape San Antonio, upon her usual sail ing track, a gun was fired from a Spanish man of war, lying to, within point blank distance as she passed.

We have often alluded to the necessity of more enterprise in various departments of business connected with our city. This lo cality is peculiarly adapted to the grocery business. A glance at tho map will show that Marietta is the most accessible railroad point for Paulding, Polk, Cherokee, Forsyth Lnmpkin and Gilmer counties. The com pletion of the railroads to the markets of the west, and of the seaboard and gulf, renders it more accessible than any other city, taken in connection with the commodities now brought from the West. Why then should Atlanta be suffered to monopolize the whole grocery trade of upper Georgia ? It is true she has more railroads —more stir and bustle—more hotels, and adventurous bipeds of every grade, than any city in the state. But these do not consti tute her the best grocery market. It is true that the almost magic progress of Atlanta has attracted the attention of the crowd, and in the general rush, the enthusiasm has depeiied into a fixed belief that Atlanta is the only place in Upper Georgia where prosperity'can get even a respectable foot hold. Thus Atlanta grows on, and we watch with satisfaction its rapid strides to opulence and high rank among the cities of the South, i But this progress and this rank should not • attach to Atlanta advantages which she does j not possess. We hazard the assertion, that, ! as a location for selling goods to all points north of the Chattahoochee, Marietta has great advantage over Atlanta. Glance at the position of the counties contiguous. A comparison of the rates of freights on arti cles bought in Tennessee with those pur chased below, and an estimate of the great saving in rents and general expenses, will vindicate the truth of this assertion. But says the reader—you cannot draw tho trade, against tho current now swelling to Atlanta. Why not! Atlanta is not necessarily bound, like Pharaoh’s lean kine, to swallow up all competition. At present we have but one or two men in the grocery business with the necessary facilities for doing a large business. “One swallow cannot make a summer.” But with all respect for the merchants of Atlanta—we may say, that the people generally have not learned to re gard with confidence the majority of the business houses of that city.

To unwrap and read was the work of a moment.

Professor Olmstead, of New Haven, has contributed to the last number of the New Englander (a quarterly publication) an arti cle entitled “A Philosophical Survey of tho , . .. . .. , , , , „ . Ocean,” from which we extract the following 1 111 “ ie P ubilc regai dt-ill he departed tint paragraph. The author commends highly ; aud thli demagogues administered upor the labors of Lieut. Maury. The waters of the ocean cover nearly : three-fourths (or more exactly, five-sevenths) j of the surface of the globe; of the thirty- eight millions of miles of dry land in exist ence, twenty-eight belong to the Northern ; hemisphere. The mean depth of the ocean has been variously stated, but may for tho j present he taken at four miles; the numer- : ous soundings now in progress will soon en- j able us to speak with more definiteness on ! this point. Enough lias already been done to prove that the depth is exceedingly une- qual; that, like the surface of the earth, j the bottom of the ocean here rises in moun lusions most happily adduced, and referred ! j in the most touching manner io the patriot | band who, for Ireland, had risked aud suf- j fered so much.

Resources of the Island But wheather or not Concha has really indulged such brilliant anticipations and determinations, his reliance upon the troops under his command ought to affect even the poorest fiillibuster with nothing much better than contempt. The number of the troops at the operations without the city, was swelled, by some accounts, to nearly 8000. But they could never be counted for more than GOOO. The whole regular force in the Island can be reckoned at very little above $13,0U0. Of these, 12,000 are taken up by twenty infantry regiments; there are two cavalry regiments which number 700 more; four squadrons of cavalry, which offord 240 and besides these, theve are . four brigades of mounted arte, levy, mounting six guns each, and each gun served by twelve men.

As to the Captain General, lie has perfect confidence in his own ability to control all that is entrusted to his command. This is shown, if in no other way, by his late with drawal of the regulars for exercise at Puen- tas Grandes, entrusting the care of the city, in the meantime, entirely to the volunteer regiments.

From these results it appears that the depths of the ocean exceed the heights of the mountains, since the loftiest summits of the Uimmalay a are little more than 28,000 feet, or 5J miles. Notwithstanding these enormous depths, tiiere are large tracts of the ocean compar atively shallow: and in the immediate vi cinity of places where no bottom could be f'-und. These facts indicate that the bed of the sea is diversified like the surface of the earth. The Gulf of Mexico is thought not to exceed on an average one mile ; and the Greenland seas are of such moderate depth, that whales, when harpooned, often run to the bottom, as is indicated by their appear ance when they rise again to the surface.— Whales are even supposed to seek a part of their food at the bottom of the sea. The Late Duel.—The duel alluded to in yesterday’s paper was fought between Mr. Gerard and Mr. John De Buys. The case was brought before Recorder Ramos yesterday, by Captain Baldwin of the Se cond District Police, who made affidavit against Messrs. De Buys and Gerard as principals, and four other gentlemen as se conds, for having been engaged in a duel with small swords, at the Mataire Ridge, within their jurisdiction of the First Dis trict Court, on Monday evening. The duel originated in a difficulty between De Buys and Gerard, which took place some time since, and grew out of the fact, it is said, that Gerard had acted as second in a duel against De Buys some time since. The meeting took place beneath the oaks atsftla- taire Ridge, and the combat was witnessed by some fifty persons. Small swords were the weapons, and the conditions were that the parties should fight till one or the oth er fell. Gerard at first stood upon his guard, hut being stirred up by some taunt from his antagonist, he made the attack, and the re sult was that he plunged his sword eight times into the body of De Buys receiving hut a slight scratch in return, De Buys now lies at the point of death.—New Orleans Paper. Boots & Shoes.—Wo notice tbat our old friends, F. M.

Without danger of exaggeration, it may he said that a iarger concourse of ci iizeris has rarely assembled, in honor of any individual, however eminent for intellectual or moral acquirements, or distinguished for public services. “ To our mind, the spectacle was darkly portentious, not only foreshadowing the sub version of Sabbath institutions, but evils it would be unwise to predict. It formed one of the series of rapidly occurring circum stances serving to indicate the existence of deep feelings of sectarian animosity among large classes. The street preaehing excite- rnent, the Gavazzi riots, the attacks on civic and religious processions, anil existing re- ligio-politico organizations, are manifesta tions of the same character.” Young America.—Two elopements come off here last week, says the Montgomery Journal,—slight indication of the increasing briskness of the times. Both of the gentle men belonged to this city. One of the la dies was a Texian. and tho other resided at Union Springs, Macon county. West point was formely the Gretna Green of this section. Georgetown, in Stewart county, Georgia, oposite Eufanla, seems more recently to have beeome fashionable. Both of the gen tlemen were enterprising—one took his bride out of the stage, about twenty miles below this point, and in less time than it could be written, was off with his ponies at a 2:40 stroke, for the t'other side “of Ohattahoo- chie.” In liis passage he met his friend, on his returne from the same shrine of Hy men, to which he was destined. Fire ! Fire !!—We understand that great damage was sustained by numbers of citi zens in various parts of the country on Fri day last, by fires in the old fields and adja cent woodlands. An immense amount of fencing was destroyed, and the growing timber seriously injured. We are surprised that fire should be so carelessly used on plantations as almost every one is in the daily habit of doing. The wonder is, that so little damage has grown out of it. The dwelling house on the plantation of Henry Hull, jr., Esq., was consumed by fire last week, we learn, together with all the furniture, &c,, of SykeB, the overseer. We understand that in Madison and Jack- son counties the destruction of propertywas much greater than here—fodder stacksi corn crops, and out buildings, and in some in stances, dwelling houses having bom Utterly consumed by the devouring element.—Athens Watchman. dieted to, and the general determination of every citizen, good, bad and indifferent, to take up arms against the ruthless invaders who are expected to come over from the main-land. Even in Villa Clara, the very hot-bed of rebellion—or, at least, the city where discontent has been most frequently and violently manifested—it has been as serted that all the men capable of doing mil itary service are manifesting their willing ness to try it by forming themselves into companies of infantry and cavalry. Peace Offering to tire Y ankees. The Captain General gave a dinner to several American gentlemen on the 6th instant. Guests—Senator Fish, of New York; Mr. Pruyn, of same State; Com. Eagle, and Col.

I am intimate with a Creole gentleman, who has made a vow never to permit a hair to be taken from his face, until JDuba shall be conquered by the fillibusters, or at any rate shall have become free, and at great { ersonal inconvenience he keeps his vow.— am on terms of intimacy with several very beautiful Creole gilrs of great wealth, who declare they will never marry any man, but an “ American fillibuster.” Let it not be supposed from this statement, that I possess “ fillibuster principles"—for although 1 should gladly hail the advent of freedom in Cuba, yet I confess I have no fondness for fillibusterism. course of trade. It is an indication of the course of trade that while exchange on London is from ten and a half to eleven per cent premium, it is sold upon New York at from one to one and a half per cent discount, which shows the force of present commercial restrictions up on trade with this country, which while, they sell to us, compel them to buy in Eu rope. Business shows no improvement that I can disern. Every thing seems yet to he at a stand still. There is an excess of specie in the banks, and some of them have even offered to loan at six per cent. Every thing is ready for a change for better or for worse, and a h'.vath will he sufficient to produce it.

We are willing that it should he recorded of us that onehas been found to raise an earnest thought feeble voice against the crazy tide that now sets for the Railroad city. In doing this we are actuated by no jealous rivalry for our sister city. Many of her best men, ' with a wise discernment, have advertised liberally with the up country press. We accord to them a fair fight and open field in the race for business. Many of them arc our personal friends. At the same time, as a citizen of Marietta—indentified with her interests, and doing battle for her progress, we would sue her reap the full advantage of her position. This, a blind idea of the growth of Atlanta, seems to defer her from achieving. If men have capital to invest in business, they rush to Atlanta—pay high rents, and engage in a competition ioo often rush and ruinous. And in the general rush it cannot be denied that the old patrons of Marietta, if they want a r.ide of bacon or a gallon of molasses, aro willing to haul it twenty or thirty miles to gratify this raging Atlanta fever." So be it. Atlanta has a fine position for business, and is fast becoming a staunch business city. It is drawing trade from ev ery direction, and must become a good com mercial point. Butwc do insist for the trade north of the Chattahoochee to ho forced to Atlanta simply because wo have no men here to control it, is suicidal to tho interest of the whole section.

Anthony Burns arrived in Boston the 7th instant, and had public reception in the evening, at Tremont Temple, at which about one thousand persons were present. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Neal.— * Burns was then introduced by Rev. Grimes, a colored clergyman of that city, who made a statement in regard to the efforts made to accomplish his liberty. Burns then addressed the audience in substantially the same terms that he did in New York. He was followed by Rev. E.- N. Kirk, who denounced slavery with much emphasis. The Doxology was snng, and many persons advanced to the platform and shook hands with Burns. The reception seemed to quite of a reli gious cast, and no prominent abolition ists took part in the services. A fee of 25 cents was charged foradmission. Europe Threatened with a General War.—A few weeks more, says a cotempo rary, and unless neace is made at Vienna with a promptitude that nobody in Europe now seems to expect, we shall witness the opening, on that continent, of a war, in comparison with those events in the Crimea campaign, will sink into that insignificance which, m a war between three of the great est nations on the face of the earth, it al ways ought to have worn. The hitherto in dependent operations in the Black Sea, and in tho Baltic, will then he connected by a line of battle extending across the whole breadth of the Continent which separates those two colossal inland lakes: and armies whose magnitude is adequate to almost boundless extent of the Sarmatian plain, will contend for its dominion. Then, and then only, can the war be said to have be come truly a European one. Georgia and Florida Bourdary.—We notice in the proceedings of the Supreme Court at Washington, in the case of the State of Florida, vs. the State of Georgia, on the motion of the Attorney General to intervene on behalf of the United States, Chief Justice Taney delivered the opinion, granting leave to the Attorney General to adduce evidence, either written or otherwise, to examine witnesses. &c., to establish the boundary claimed by the United States. Wednesday, several motions were filed by counsel, and argued by Governor Westcott, for the complainant, and Senator Badger fer the respondent. 2!l Heartfelt Sentiment Inopportunely’ Expressed.—A large and brilliant party was given in fashionable circles a few weeks since, not a hundred miles from our metrop olis, and the festivities. Yvere kept up to so late an hour, that the fair hostess became completely wearied out. Some fifteen min utes after the lady supposed the last of her guests had left, sne walked into the supper room, where the gas had been turned down, and gave vent to her wearied spirit by ejac ulating, “ Thank God, they are all stuffed and gone.” “ Not quite all,” squeaked out a voice.— “ I have returned to find an ear-ring which 1 supposed was dropped while at the supper table 1” The hostess' chagrin can be better imagined than described when,'on turning round; she discovered one of her nearest fashionable neighbors \—Boston Post.
