The following dispatch to the New York
Tribune is the latest we have seen on the
subject:
WAsHINGTeS Friday, Nov. 4. 1853.
Information has been received hero from Havana,
from high and responsible source, confirming the
report of the British Appren'ice scheme to African
tzo Cuba. The writer is sur. hat arrangements to eff
sfcc the scheme extensive than before report
ed. 1t is theSa Co Of general discussion at Havana.
The agents of th. Captain General secretly en-
ploys to make .tslyes TO the system. The writer
Is confdcnt that shsl have ccnirmati, from
Europe, aud that proclamation ct the treaty will be
made in Havana by the new Captain-Gcneral ex-
peeted there. fhs writer also anticipates her ST.
Domingo ragcdy Instead Of thirty thousand apprcn-
tees it Is said that one hundred thousand
sbe contracted for andimpsrted. Th, Administration
fully credits this report
81 The attempt on the part any powev or
combination Of powers, to revive the hor-
erorssof the slave trade, wouli be viewed
with universal indignation in this country.
An apprenticeship for ten years, under a
Spanish ask-master, who, to stimulate his
proyerbial cruelty, woold have the con-
seriousness that he must lose the slaves SER
vices at the end of ten years, would proba-
ssbly be an apprenticeship for life. The
Washington Union is therefore correct in
ssupposing that the people Of the United
States would revolt at the idea of reviving
that internal traffic and every ten years
flooding Cuba with new supply of misera-
BILE Africans, for forty years to come; the
only set off to this. atrocity being the iber-
alton of what few of them may be living
at the end of fifty years, together with the
remnants of the old stock. It is this slave
atrade feature which is so universally objec-
etionable. The emancipation part of The
scheme would perhaps not receive such gen.
sral condemnation as the Union supposes.
slf'it should turn out TO be scheme of eman-
icipation, only, and entirely independent of
Authorization, we imagine the United
States would not go to war about the mat
ter. Tho south might be in favor of war,
sibut the north is in the majority. Permea-
ting the mass Of northern mind is senti-
,,ment of hostility to slavery, which, while
< it docs not embrace the Free-Soil doctrine,
THAT the United States government should
under all circumstances, prevent the further
determination Of slavery on our own terrific
Try, yet, would be forward enough to object
to war for the perpetuation of slavery on a
foreign soil.
