This Company has obtained a grant from the Government of
the Federal States of Central America of 15,000,000 acres of
I Virgin Lands in that country, which lies between the 15th and
lath degrees of North latitude and 88 and 92 degrees West
longitude.
The Grant includes the magnificent sea-port of Santo
Tomas and several navigable rivers; the most important of
which are the Polochic, the Matagua, and the'. I.lsumasinta, of
which the Company has the exclusive right of steam navigation.
The first settlement is called Abbottsville, and is situated
'bout 100 miles up the river Polochic. The climate is good
led genial, and the country presents an alternation of mountain
and plain, affording a choice of temperature.
It abounds in minerals, many of which are of the most pre-
cious description; and, by the law of the Federal States, any
one denouncing a mine becomes the proprietor thereof.
The soil is rich to a degree unknown in Europe, and pro-
duces, amongst other things, mahogany, dyewood, Santa
Maria Wood, and many ethers of great value ; indigo, cochi-
neal, sarsaparilla, tobacco, cocoa, coffee, cotton, sugar, rice,
vanilla, Indian corn, balsams, gums, and drugs ; likewise
Wheat, barley, pulse, and all culinary vegetables. Horned
cattle, horses, mules, sheep, poultry, game. and fish are abund-
ant and eheap ; and fruits in great variety and plenty.
The terms of the Grant secure to the settlers the right of
governing themselves by the election, from among their- own
number, of Municipal Bodies. Trial by Jury and religious to-
leration are likewise secured to them. They are authorized to
tmbody themselves as a militia for self-defence, and to have a
Polka under the orders of their own Magistrates for do.neitie
protection. They are not subject to any taxes or contributions,
except such as shall be established by themselves.
There are no Game or Tithe Laws, nor any burdensome
enactments whatever. They have, in fact, a country to them-
selves, to be regulated by their own Municipal Institutions.
Tile voyage occupies from six to eight weeks. At the
mouth of the River they will be met by the Company's steamer,
and conveyed to the settlements, where they will receive every
attention from the Company's Superintendent, Mr. Young
Anderson, who will give them proper advice as to the choice of
location and the first steps to be taken, and will assist them in
Procuring labourers
