The Law Officers of the British Government, to whom were referred the question relative to pecuniary concessions mud? to JS ova Scotia, so warmly discussed in - Parliament at Ottawa, last session, have decided that the action of the Canadian Government in that respect was Consti tutional, and within the meaning' of the Confederation Act. - Qcebkc, September 18 P.

The Cuban Question. New York, September 13. It is slated that it is cot the intention of the Administration to push the settlement ot the Cuban difficulties for the present, tor to do anythine that would be likely to irritate Spain and piovoke a war with her. Matters will probably be allowed to drift along as they have been doing, in the hops that the Spanish Govern ment will finally accept the Sickles proposition. ———<>——— A Fight with Indians. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 18.—An Omaha dispatch says: Gen. Augur has received information from Col. Brisben, commanding at Snake River reservation, that a fight had occurred between a company of his troops and about one hundred Sioux Indians, just below his camp, Tursday [sic] morning. Two Indians were killed and a number wounded. Two of the troops were wounded and nine horses captured. Three settlers on the north fork of Snake River were recently killed by the Indians. Gov. Knight, of California, arrived at Omaha yesterday, en route East, and Wm. Swinburn left for San Francisco this forenoon. ———<>——— Foreign News. ——— ENGLAND LONDON, Sept. 18.— The <Daily News> says the question as to an improved uiidirta;idinif between Spain and the United States remains unsolved. While the latter is impatient of dtlay the former is sending armaments that may precipitate a conflict. The Spanish exchequer is virtually empty, and temporary loans are resorted to at increasingly onerous terms. This facj must be considered in estimating the possibilities of the pending crisis. Liverpool, September 18. A letter is published irom Mr. DaVid A. Wells, Special Cammissioner of the Revenue Department, addressed to Mr. Dudley, the American Consul at Liverpool, on the subject of devoting tho surplus revenues of the United States to the reduction of tho public debt. London. beDteiuber lb. l nomas Graham, Master of the Mint, and one of tho mostemicent chemists, is dead. London. September 18. The ISptciator says that war between Spain and tho United States, oa account ot Cuba, appears like a moral impossi bility. but is universally believed in just now iu Spain. The war enthusi asm there is gathering last, minister Sickles' proposition is tytconsistent with the precedent furnished by tho conduct of the United States in 1SG1. What with Spanish pride and Ameri can sympathies, the situation is very critical. It is difficult to believe Spain, with a divided people aud a. bankrupt treasury, one colony in revolt, others to lose and nothing to win, can seri ously contemplate war with one or the greatest powers on earth. Ihe tSaturday hcvitw holds that if the proposal of Gen. Sickles is accurately reported, there is no ground for complaint against America, for makioc au offer to Spam in the char acter of a disinterested mediator. It is possible that some of those people in Spain who urge the sending of re inforcements to Luna, ccsire tue absence or tne army. i un military force only can the liege nt retain the power of the Uortes against tne itepublicans and Carlists. The friends of Isabella might be formidable in the absence of the army. Alluding to the desire of the Americans to possess Cuba, tho writer thinks the arguments ot Mr. Buchanan, in favor of annexation, must be more agreeable to their ears, now that slavery has been suppressed, but whether it is their true interest to include an alien and uncongenial population in the Union, is a question ior future history. The Times, iu an article on the Byron story, says Mrs. Stowe admits she was consulted with by Lady By. ron only on the expediency of publishing a true account of the separation, and owls that she dissuaded her from doing so. She omits to produce adequate authority for her statement. Whatever there may be behind this revelation, Mrs. Stowe was wrong in publishing inlormation which was supplied in order that she might give an opiuion a3 to what action should be taken upon it. M. Schlescinger, in a letter to the Cologne Gazette, states that Wentworth repeatedly assured him. that Lady Byron desired tho unhsppy marriage to die with her, and that the family papers conlained no secrets. Thomas John Penn, the last dosceudent of the William Pecn family, is dead. London, Sept. IS. The Timet calls to mind that the first anniversary of the revolution in Spaiu ha . passed, and none of the evils laid to the charge of the Bourbons have diminished, but have rather increased. There is greater distress and confusiou. and less concord, efficiency and public security. The policy of the government iu the provinces is re

1 v. if i viewed, and its action there contrasted with its action in Madrid. The. Tunes aoknol;lges that all is done for the best, but the conflicting views and diverging tendencies of some members of the gjvertiinent has produced helplessness and improvidence among all. There is hardly a ruling ruin ia the whole goverumynt. Such as they are, Spain must accept them; the country yields no better, and it must rnafce the best ot tnem. IRELAND. Londonderry, September 13. A riot occurred yesterday between the porters on a strike and others vho retusea to join them. JiMU sides were 8trer-gtbed Ly their friends, and the riot thrcatcnetl to become formidable, when the military appeared, and charging into the crowd of rioters, dispersed thx-m. Several peivcs were injured, but no one killed. SPAIN. "'Madrid, Sept. IS. The- Spanish press has been in a complete ferment of excitement and indignation ince the presentation of General Sieklcs's no'es to the Government. Some of the journals abuse the American ,31inister badly. They say he was sent here solely because he was known to be a stiong priizin of Cuban annexation. Gen. Sickles emphatically uenies me afB-'iu in taut nis - mission reters only to Cuba. "IIo insists that he never broached the question of the cession of the Islan i to the United States, but has merely hinted that the American Government is willing to interpose its friendly offices for the settlement of Spain's difficulties with Cuba. . i, The proposition to call Prince Thomas, the Duke of Geneo and nephew of Kiug Victor Emanuel, to the thronc'of Spain. under the joint reaency of .Montpeusicr, Serrano and lievero, is g iiniug ground. ' The Spanish" frigate Amatizx is under orders for Cuba. i BY KKK.VCft CABLE. Madrid, tk-pte-mbcr' 17 1 Eve The couditat ure o' the Dukt! ot Geneva, son of Kin- Victor J'luiaii'je!. of ll . . .. . !

Five war frigates, with other ves sels of tho navy, are about to be dis patched to Cuba. They will, it is said, sail at an early day. FRANCE. Paris, Sept. 17. Gen. Prim's sec ond and !ate-t audien3'! wiih Napoleon was of an hour's duration, the subjict matter of the conversation affording cau-e for a very considerable amount of anxious outside speculation. It has bee pretty aeruratelv ascertained to-d.iy that tho situation in Luba, the levolutioa and the chances of its regression, a- well ns regards its form o. government, and right of rule, wore diseased by the Emperor: an amicable arrangement between the Spanish authorities and the Cabinet in Washington, and the matter of tho American desire for tho acquisition of the territory by purchase, was allud' d to by Xanoleon, adding toward tiie close of his re marks, his opinion to the tffeitthat if the war continued with its present attendant barbarities, President Grant would be compelled to interfere between the contending parties, if only in betiall ot and tor the caUie ot lumanity. ben. Pnm replied that to wa3 himself personally willing to negotiate with the American authori ties in the dircetiou indicated bv the ruler of France, but that Spain, his ellow-couutrymen ;it large, remained opposed to such a course. Napoleon, iu ropy, advi-ed den. Prim and the Spaniards to imitate, in this case, his own examplo and give up Cuba, just as he had. given up Mexico, before it was teo lat" to do so with honor. Sickles has proposed a new plan of compromise on the Cuba subject. Spain is iu an intense state of ex citement, bhizing at.d boir'ng over, it may be said, ou account cf the news from Cuba, the reports from Wash ington and Paris, and the adherence of Sickles, in Madrid, to the r licy of sell or perhaps io.-e.

The indications are that the public statement, to be issued on the 1st of October, will show very little if any reduction. The payments for the present m inth have been very heavy. Much of what is stated as to the course of the Administration on the subject of Cuban iudepondence, is mere matter of conjecture. All that is certainly known as to the mediatain is through Minister Sickles to the Spanish Government. Thore are no indications of au acknowlsdgment of belligerent rights. The policy of the Administration has been, and is, to enforce the neutrality and to act in good faith, according to treaty obli gations.
