~
From Our Own Correspondent.
HAVANA, Wednesday, April 30, 1856.
In nv last cent you the TRANSLATION Of the ne
mortal which is TO be forwarded to the Queess
Government, asking for the admission Of forty
thousand African colonists. have just received
another document, written BY the same gcntlemes.
which throws great deal Of light ca this scheme
will give your readers slight sketch Of the pre-
posed "modus opersndi"
l. The negroes are not to be purchased OF the neES
kngs who too often make war on one another tor the
sole purpose OF procuring Icapu'es 'sia'es' "' '"o
whites. ~
2. The only money allowed will be $40 bosnty, which
thenegro may leave to his abandoned family snd Ca
vince Others that the enlisted friend Is not forcipy
3. As the Co,onist will have no need Of bis wages.
he may remit the same through. the Co9oa's@'oH 90
clety 10 lis family in Africa -,
be yet really is So since the intention TO get the
neeoes from the civilized towns and villages ana
two dollars will be very acceptable to their poor tr'enos
at home.
S. The contracts now given to the Coolies are to
the basis for the new African Coonists, ana
will be punctually carried out.
g. The wages to be paid to the Colonists which are
not to exceed four dollars, one half OF which Is to DO
paid to the Government asa fund for removing tho
Coonists to other quarter OF the world as soon a.
the term of apprenticeship expires.
| TO- Men are to be preferred to women and in al
cases where the latter brought out, only two dol
lars wages are allowed The children born OF the col.
onsts receive no wages until they eighteen, at
which time they viii be allowed the same a. their
parents provided they consent to enter into On obi.
Cation for ten years; finot they are to be sent out o.
the country. .,
| l3 All the expenses incurred in seeing to the
faithful observance of these articles by the agents ot
the Spanish Government VIII be paid Wy the company.
| l have translated these few articles In order
that the readers of THE TRIBUNE may see tho
| spirit that actuates these phantrophic gentlemen
who wish to make us believe that this colonization
| is destined to destroy the Slave trade between
| Cuba and Africa. l am confident that the very
Colonization Society would be the first to in
troduce slaves if they succeed in getting permis-
sion TO bring over apprentices. There are tee
many lOOp-h holes for men who have never been dis-
tinguished for their good faith and sincerity The
projectors say that if Spain will only lend her sane
tion to the scheme the coast inhabitants OF Africs
will rejoice to hear that they are no longer to b
| carried off as slaves, but cO0nists
But the second part is still richer in matter for
| profound consideration Mr.. Argudin proposes To
establish bank with the funds raised from tho
| introduction of colonists, each one OF whom pays
| 1874 to the Government and the nall OF DIS wages
| S25 per anbum. Twenty thousand negroes In ono
| wear would leave the State more than $lOO,OOO.
and as the permission for the introduction is to last
| ten wears, the capital of this novel bank would
soon reach an enormous sum. This bank is intend
| ed exclusively for the Cuban planters. How many
strong arguments are urgeu iii iaNof vi s"o Ss"A"~

| have been assured by friend that the English
Government will never consent to this new method
| of slave trade, and has informed tho Spensn
| Court on a previous occasion that they will only
allow the introduction into Cuba Of African colo
nists when the Spanish Government appoints Q
time for the total emancipation OF Slavery in the
island The year 1890 was fixed upon, but Mar
yaez, who was then at the head of affairs in Spain.
rejected the proposition as degrading: / DO not
think that England has any reason to think better
of the good faith Of Spain now than she had before.
| OF local news have but little to report, 40 our
political sky is unclOuded. We celebrated tho
| birth of the young French Prince, with the firing
of cannon ringing of bells and great display OF
bunting The allies were toasted at all the hotels.
and the public journals all took some notice Of the
event.

though but partially filed, was bent on trying big
luck The authorities wisely nterftred and spared
us an accident. The public behaved very badly;
threw stones, sticks and other missiles, and sew
eral persons were slightly injured.
The assassin who attempted the Archblshops

general impressionis that he will be garroted.
