To this caret) the Spanish answer, that the matters in 'dispute were wholly municipal. and in the discre tion' of the Spanish authorities; that the persons captured on the Virgin ias were pirates; land that. Spain could not tolerate any interference of the United States in her municipal aaairs. An interview was, subse ,e , quiently called for and granted; at which icltles again ; demanded that the • orders of the. Spanish govern ment suspending execution's in Cuba should be enforced. ' i - ' The -Minister of • Foreian, Affairs haughtily desliued to permit the rep= 7 resentative_Of the united :States to discu=s the municipal ritritira of Cuba. The interview terminated angrily, Gen. Sickles intimating that, only btrictl,y offteieis.l - lations with the cabinet .wonld bs pdssible On his part in the future. ' The, following are said ;to be the points of a peremptory deMand rented by our government- tip the , Spanish Cabinet: First, The formal delivery of, the , Virginias to. officers of onr govern ment in a port, of tlre'United Statrs.

' The Spanish objectiOns •to this have been sent forward by the Amer ican minister. The pabliC mind , is exceedingly excited. The Spaniards blame American:4lor. the Cuban insur ' rection, and declare that war with the 'United .S'otes would be welcome. Americans who know the: state of the public. Mind, and knew' their own country, do not 'see hoWtivar can be avoided. • . Spain will concede nothing, and public opinion would prevent conces• sion on the part of dasterlar, even if he were disposed to make any. ,The extreme Republicans here favor our Views of the else; but defiance and stubborn intolerance of any other view than their own is . the general tone All panisli iron-clads - not in the hands of the Intransigentes have been ordered to Cuba. • WASiIINGTON, Nov. 21.=-Press dist patches from Madrid announce the insult 'to our Minister Created con siderable feeling in official and of fifer circles this morning, and intensified the war feeling pervading all classes here..
