(By Telt graph to the Pitt:burgh Gazette.) SPAIN. LONDON, September 18.—The Daily News Bays: The question as to an im proved understanding between Spain and the 'United States remains unsolved. While the latter is impatient of delay, the former is sending armaments that may precipitate a confifct. The Spanish exchequer is virtually empty, and tem porary loans are resorted to at increas ingly_ onerous terms. This fact must be considered in estimating the possibility of the pending crisis. The proposition to call Prince Thomas, the young Duke of Genoa, and nephew of King Victor Emanuel, to the throne of Spain under I the joint regency of -Montpensier, Serino and River°, is gain ing grotu3d. The Spanish frigate Anaemia is under orders for Cuba. LONDON, September 18.—The Spectator says: War between Spain and the Unt ied States, on account of Cuba, appears like a moral impossibility, but is uni versally believed in just now in Spain. The war enthusiasm there is gathering fast. Minister Sickles' proposition is in consistent with the precedent furnished by the conduct of the United States in 1861. What with Spanish pride and American sympathies, the situation is very critical. It is difficult to believe Spain—with a divided people a bank ' rupt treasury, one colony . in • revolt. others to lose, nothing to.wm—can seri ously contemplate war with one of the greatest powers on earth. The Saturday Review holds that if thti proposal of General Sickles is accurately reported there is no ground for com plaint against America for making an offer to Spain in the character of a disin terested mediator. It is possible that some of these people is Spain who urge --the sending of reinforcements to Cuba, desire theabsenceof the army. Without 8 military force, can the Regent retain the power of the Cortez against the Republi cans and Carlists. The friends of Isa • belle might be formidable in the absence of the army. The Government must see that to•sacrifice the army will not save Cuba. Alluding to the desire of the Amer icans to possess Cuba, the writer tninks the arguments of Mr. Buchanan hi favor of annexation must be mpre agreeable to their ears now that slavbry has been suppressed. But whether iris their true interest to include an alien and uncon congenial population in the Union is a question for future history. MADRlD,September 19.—The Spanish press pas been in a complete ferment of excitement and indignation, since the presentation of Gen. Sickles' notes to the Government. Some of the journals abuse the American Minister sadly. They say he was sent here solely be cause he was known to bs a strong par tisan of Cuban annexation. Gen. Sickles emphatically denies .the assertion that his mission refers only to Cuba. He in. sista that he never broached the ques. lion of the cession of the island to the United States, but hag merely hinted that the American Government is willing to interpose its friendly offices for the settlement of the Spanish difficulties with Cuba. The Times calls to mind that the first anniversary of the revolution in Spain has passed and none of the evils, laid to the charge of the Bourbons have dimin ished, but rather increased. There is greater distress and confusion and less concord, efficiency and public security. The policy of the government in the prov inces is revieWed and its action there contrasted with its action in. Madrid. The Times acknowledges that all is done for the best, but the conflicting views - and diverging] tendencies of some mem bers of the Government, produce help lessness and improvidence among them. There is hardly a ruling man in the whole Government. Such as they are Wain must accept them. The country has no bett7 and must make the most Of them. MADRID, September 19.—1 t is rumored that Napoleon has telegraphed to the . French Minister at Washington that France desires that Cuba shall be retain: ed by Spain. General Prim, it is said. hai had a second interview with Na. doleon, and tord Clarendon, British For eign Secretary, has also had another Au dience with the Emperor. A decree, proclaiming liberty of w et, * - ship in Cuba, will appear in the ,0,91 • 1 Gazette to-morrow. It is probable that Beare or Romero will be sent to Cuba to resolveon the spot all questions of administration. The embarkation of reinforcements for Cuba has commenced. It is confidently asserted that Admiral Tppete will command the fleet. The prospect of the Duke of Genoa as a candidate for the throne is improving; A marriage with the daughter of the Duke of Montpenster is proposed. GREAT BRITAIN. LIVERPOOL, September 18.—A letter is published from Mr. David A. Wells, Special Commissioner of the Revenue • Department, ,addressed to Mr. Dudley, American Consul at Liverpool, on the subject of devoting the surplus revenue of the lErnitecl States to the reduction of the public debt. LoNnow, September 18.—The Times in an article on the Byron story says: Mrs. Stowe' admits:-she was consulted • with.by Lacy Byron,.only on the expe diency of publishing a true account of the senaratioh, and owns that she die suaded,her from doing so. She omits to produce adequate authority for her state ment. Whatever there may be behind this revelation,' Mrs. Stowe was wrong la publishing information which was supplied in order that she might give an opinion as to what action should l be taken upon it. M. Schlessinger, in a letter to the Co logne Gazette, states that - Wentworth re• peatedly assured him that Lady Byron desired the unhappy story of her mar riage to die with her, and that the family papers contained no secrets. Thomas John Penn, the last descend ant of the William Penn famity, is.dead. LONDON, Sept. 18.—A riot occurred .yesterday between the porterson a strike and others who refused to join them. Both sides were strengthened by their friends, and the riot threatened to be ceme formidable, when the military ap peared, and charging into the crowd of rioters dispersed them.

THE UNITEI STATES AND SPAIN Much of wha is stated as to the course of the adminitration on the subject of Cuban Inderodence, is mere matter of conjecture. All that is certainly known is an offer o' mediation, through Minis ter Sickles,to the Spanish government. There are no ,present indications of the acknowleygnient of belligerent rights. The policy of the administration hits been, ant is, to enforce the •neutrality laws, and to act in good faith according to treat! obligation. There is no Question that it deeply spppeitnizes with the Cubans in their strpggle. and will continue to exercise Wriendly offices with discretion with Itte view to effect a solution of the clues ion satisfactory to all.

Ville, Memphis, New Orleans, and Mobile, are all blockaded with freight, and agents of the different lines in New York are, in consequence, refusing to give rates or receipts to points beyond Louisville.
