New ana Unique Plan for Acquiring Cuba.
Our special Washington despatch, which we
communicate 10 our readers this morning, will
convey TO them some very curious, unique, on
gnal, yet consistent and credible news concerning
the foreign appointments which are shortly to
come up in Cabinet council, in connection with
Mr. Buchanans favorite hobby and laudable
anbition-the speedy and pesceable acquisition
of the ever green and sever faithful island" OF
Cuba
Our correspondent informs us that the reign
ing house of Israel" the Rothschilds in eonnec-
ton with Mr.. Buchanan's appointments to the
principal courts of Europe, it is proposed shall
be charged with the important business of ne
gotiating the purchase of Cuba upon ths Ostend
appraisement Of one hundred and twenty mil
lions of dollars ($l2o, ZOO, OOO)-that this sum
shall be divided 30 as to secure the "happy &C
cod" of all parties concerned, official and unofil-
cial, in Spain. France and England Mr.. Bel
mont, of the house Of the R0thschids, as Minister
to Madrid shall be placed at the head Of diplo-
matte Cuban league, in reference to which our
ordinates.
It will be also remarked that the consent of the
Holy Father at Rome to the transfer of Cuba
from monarchy radically Roman Catholic, to a
republic essentially Protestant, is not to be over
looked. This point may, or may not, embrace
the selection Of Catholic Ambassador to Rome;
but if the general plan indicated be adopted, there
will doubtless be something done to bring the
powerful influence of the Pope to bear upon
Queen Isabella and her government 10 favor of
the sale, at good figure. of the most precious
but most pesilOus jewel in her crown, even though
it be 10 the heretical democracy Of these United
States. In this aspect of the case the proposed
appointment of Mr. Belmont as tho diplomatic
chief of these contemplated negotiations may,
primo .fdcic, appear to be somewhat bizarre but
as the umpire between Mr.. Buchanan, q Protes-
tant, and Isabella the Catholic" who 40 we'll
qualified as an impartial Israelte of the great
and powerful house of the Rothschilds? That's
a strong point.
The scheme of Mr.. Plerce's FIRST Minister to
Madrid, Mr.. Soule, for the acquisition of Cuba,
sell upon our own terms, the seizure of the island
by the strong hand. Mr.. Soule, however, was a
French Jesuit turned red republican, and to such
man, ambitious of distinction in his office, the
opportunity afforded by the Russian war was a
temptation for filibustering in the Gulf of Mexi-
co which he could not resist In fact,
orr Pierce administration would have been
carried hcadlong by it and by Soule after
the glory Of Lopez, but for the obstinate
and cold blooded hostility of Marcy. Thus Mr..
SOalG was crushed OUT" thus poor Pierce was
saved from swift destruction, and our country
rom worldwide war; but thus Cuba was lost,
md thus Spain was excited to pitch of wrath
md hate which only the most persuasive negotia-
ions can at this day extinguish. The late flbus.
ering operations Of Mr.. Soule in Nicaragua in Co
operation with General Goicouria and General
" alker, looking to the island of Cuba, are not
to soften these municipalities Of Spain,
90 that 1t is only through the "hsppy accord" of
England and France, the Rothschilds and the
Pope, that VIC can expect to induce the Spanish
government to sell us her most beautiful. most
important, most valuable and most profitable
colony.
To secure this "happy accord" the scheme de-
allied in our Washington despaich exhibits a
sorderful degree Of sagacity. This is the age
lot of war; but of peace; not of flibustering, but
Il diplomacy, Of commerce, steamships, Atlantic
telegraph cables, cotton, railroads, real estate,
tocks, bonds, coupons, buying and selling
sokersge, speculation aud ''moaish.- In this
lay it is not the sword. bat il Is "monish"-yes,
'monish' that rules the world. The Rothchlds
pave taken the place Of Peter the Hermit, and
heir symbol of ''monishr has supplanted the
Crusaders flag of the Cross Principalities, pro-
yrces, kings and kingdoms arc bought and
sold, and hence the policy Of purchasing the
island Of Cuba Then, too, az between
the government Of Spain and the island of
Cuba, there are the existing distractions
Of queens, and dowagers and kings and
courtiers and favortes. and emperers, and
AL sorts Of official expectants, and spoilsmen,
and sIeculators Il is simply proposed to secure
their cordial assistance, one and ALL through the
Of the Rcthschilds and plentiful
distribution Of "monish." In this way Cuba
may be acquired for one tenth of the "monish''
which would be needed to secure bargain in
volging the pay men. Of the whole amount direct
ly into the Spanish treasury.
We shall await Mr.. Buchanan's schedule of
foreign appointments with great degree Of in

solution Of the great Cuban problem Of manifest
