MEMORIAL.

To tie Senafe end House Of Representatives oPthe
United States IL, Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th OF September, 1850 that they are informed
and believe that the Indicated warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that ,hey do not expect desire to reside the
land thus eranted that If patented to them, the
EXPENSE of agencies and taxes WILDE an al'nnaI
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialis,s further represent that the law
by preventing Tie sale of the warrants, assum
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands are not competent TO act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligen and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified rs to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

Very ImpOrfnmt--A New Governs
memd for CpnbsR.

1t appears that very important change is
about to take place in the government Of Cuba.
The Spanish government. apprehensive Of rev.
olution or transfer of the isIand are taking steps
20 secure Queen Christmas pecuniary interests
and to insure her, before such great change
takes place. Legitimate compensation for her
immense pecuniary outlays in the greet works
Of Havana. Four years more, at least of the
Colonial system.are necessary 20 place the Queens
interests beyond the fear of very serious injury.
The better TO effect the object. her goeernment
has decided upon the following policy. intended
TO pacify and conciliate the Cubana, and no
doubt as hollow as Spanish faith is false.
A free pardon is to be offered to all rebels or
patriots, and even accompanied by actual tender
of employment to those unwilling to accept the
mere benefit of the amnesty. In pursuance of
this policy, the Captain-General will convoke
an assembly of the principal inhabitants under
his presidency. Something like colonial coun-
Gil is to be created through some process of cleo
tion by the members of this assembly. Two or
three iusticians (alcaldeS), four administrators
cslGdoresi) and six secretaries (escribieites, are
to form the colonial administration. Due act
and record of all petitions will be taken and
copies sent to Spain 1t also appears that three
or four delegates are to represent the island in
the Spanish Cortez, and compile code of laws
for the government of the crowns dominions
beyond the sea.
One Of our authorities for this statement we
cannot give without compromising person
beyond the sea. The. other is La Ver2dd, pa
per printed in Spanish in New York, which in
a long article, confirms it in every particular.
The policy is treacherous, intended, no doubt,
to pacify the Cubans and to get the patriots
within the'grasp OF Spain.-Erchange.
The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-12-29

o-5- The terrors OF Spanish law have lately
been principally directed against Cuban patriots
and editors of newspapers in Madrid 1t will
be seen from the following, anecdote hat mon
keys and hand-organs to be included in the
list OF prescription. A grinder of that music
uamed Juanito had monkey dressed in the guise
of sailor, which he sent up the balconies of the
house under which he played in order to pass
around the hat. So far was very well : and, in
this, Spanish morality saw no just cause of Of
fence. But it appears that Juanito was in the
habit OF putting under the jacket of his monkey
love-letters and designations with which he was
entrusted, and for the delivery OF which he was
we'll paid. The monkey clambered ap the pillars
supporting the balconies. and Juarito, by con-
stantly pulling at the cord, caused him to shift
from place to place, till he arrived at the window
OF the lady to whom he letter was addressed.-
He then ceased to pull the cord, and the mon
key, understanding what that meant, drew out
and presented the letter. The police considered
thls as fragrant outrage upon the honor of the
married men of Madrid, ant as very serious,
drain upon the revenue of the post-office. Juani-
to and the monkey were arrested on the charge
OF Offence against the public morals"

OUR OWN JAPAH.-It is a month since the
Presidential election took place, and yet there
are five counties in the State Of Virginia that
have not been heard from.
1t begins to be doubted whether the peop lie o
those counties have voted for President. or
whether they have not seeded from the Union
and set up for themselves new Republic-or
perhaHsan Empire, since that is the prevailing
fashion.
Now, we ask, is it right and is it in conform
ity with the laws of nations, that any portion
of the settled globe should shut itself out in this
way from all communication with the rest of
mankind
Who knows but, that this unknown and un
explored region embraced in the five counties
may be mighty and rich province, with which
vast commerce may be established with the
United States?
We hope the President in his message, will
bring the matter to the attention OF Congress-
and urge the importance of organizing an expe-
dition, for which that to Japan may form pre-
cedent with the view of opening an intercourse
with this domestic Japan.
1t should be provided with a specimen of a
railroad, locomotive engine and magnetic tel
egraph, and files of our own and other journals
And if the exclusive inhabitants should forbid
il an entrance, then some measures should be ia.
ken for sending thither annually an embassy OF
some kind, like the annual Dutch ship of Japan,
carrying with it an annual paper containingTthe
news for the enlightenment of the inhabitants
as TO the years doings OF the outside barbarians.
1t is a matter of doubt whether the people of
these five counties have heard Of the abdication
Of Louis Philippe or the discovery of Califor-
MIA gold. They have certainly not heard of the
death of Wellington. the re-estab blishment of the
French Empire, or the election of Pierce and
King Philadelphia Bulletin.

UNCLE Toms CABIN IN FRAEcE.-Uncle Tom.
CABIN has appeared in the feuileton of three diff
ierent Paris papers--the PreSSe, the Siecte, anc
the Pays. There seems to have been much more
eagerness, however, among the translatcrs tc
translate it than among the public to read it. 1t
IS not destined to very great success in France.
/; is said. The only review of the book that has
yet appeared in Paris Is that in the Debats. bv
John Lemoinne. The Paris correspondent of
the Washington Republic gives an extract from
| it as follows:
/" This book is profundly impregnated, and. so
to say, saturated with the spirit of the Bible !:
and ii is this which explains its prodioious snc-
cess In America and England. And yet, con-
sidered as work of art, and piece of compo-
sltion, 1t is extremely detective and argues great
inexperience. Bur at the same time it is SO es-
sentially moving and pathetic that it goes
straight to the heart; it is blow of the hammer
struck fiat upon the head of the nail. 1t has an
object, which is TO inspire horror of slavery.
This object is attained, and this little poem has
become IN the two worlds MarseilIes, by the
voice OF which an institution, cursed by God
and BY men, will crumble away"
On the 18th ult., Uncle Toms Cabin appeared
IN Paris, in book form, at forty cents per copy.
The translator is M. LaBedoine, who is an ex-
peTienced hand at the business, having rendered
into French the whole of Cooper, and MANY of
the works of Dickens and Marryatt The re- I
viewer admits that the success of the book can
not be as great in France as in England, and
may not be perpet tuated there as a classic. 1t is
stated that M. Dennery, one of the best play
wrights, is adapting it for the French stage. and
that It will be produced in about two months.
The Steele gives The authoress's name as Mad
anne Stove. while the Pays declares her to be
Madame Henriette Stoss. It may be said of her
as Of the deceased patriot: sDied for glory. and
had his name spelt wrong in the gazette

NEGOTIATION ON THE FIsHERrEs.-In the En-
giish House of Commons, November 18th. Mr..
Mc6regor adverted to the passage in the royal
speech referring to the American Colonies fish
ing question. During the administration of the
noble lord' the member of Fiverton, the intimate
anu pacinc relations between this country and
America Were maintained, and the Earl of Alb
erdeen most wisely made those concessions with
regard to the fisheries that kept up the harmony
previously subsisting He trusted that in the
negotiations now pending, the whole question
would be settled upon the principle of free and
uninterrupted intercourse-that the people of
the United States would have the freedom of
fishing IN the North American seas, and that the
would be permitted equally free inter
course IN the waters of the United States. (Hear
