Of a serious disturbance in the family.
In this view, the paramount movement up
on the cabinet comprehends a most interesting
and unique plan for the acquisition OF Cuba
plan embracing the active cooperation Of
Eneland, hrance and Spain, upon the most mod,
crate terms, without any fuss or trouble, and
within the: limit of Mr. Buchanan s term OF toul
years. Purchase is this plan, and the ostend
Valuation fs120Ooo, 900 is the sum. Under
Mr.. Polk, iMr. Buchanan as secretary OF state
offered the sum of 100000, 600, and 1t Is
thought now that an advance of twenty pei
cent, will pe satisfactory margin OF allowance
for the increased value of the island.
Next comes the modus operandi, worthy the
financial genius of the reigning house of Israel
| The Rotl,schilds are to be entrusted with the
practical business of this great arrangement
and their first requisition will be the APP
pointment: of a member of their class and
their great financial family-Mr. Auguste Bel
mont-as minister to Spain Coordinate with
or rather. subordinate to, Belmont new
minister will next be required at each of the
courts of ST. Cloud, St. James, ST. Petersburg
and St. Peter. We say St. Peter, because the
influence of Rome over Madrid must not bt
overlooked. In the meantime, Mr.. Belmont ha:
been making the tour of Italy, and will come
round, via Spain to Paris and London to take
the necessary soundings.
Thirdl., it is supposed that the distribution
Of "the nIonish," will embrace thirty millions tt
the Roth4 childs for the purposes of their fnan
cial negotiations at Madrid, and among thu
Spanish railroad stock jobbers of London, &c.
thirty millions to the Spanish treasury, thirt.
millions among the spendthrift royal span,sl
family, including queen Christina and her de
pendants: queen Isabella and her favorltes an'
courtiers' and others whose influence over TIKI
Spanish cabinet and cortes is worth consider
ing. TIE other thirty millions to be dlsburset
among the. fnanciers and stock jobbers of tn
court of Napoleon the Third, who are Away

The British government, it is expected, Il
view of the payment Of her heavy claims upo'
Spain, will be satisfied with a chance at th'
thirty millions which are to go into the Spanish
treasury The price for Cuba, as thus proposed
is the same as that fixed at Ostend by Messrs
Buchanan and Mason and Soule; but it is FREE
from the alternative of wrestling the island from
Spain if we have the power" When the cabl
net shall have selected its list Of European dl
plomats, YOU will be enabled to perceive TIL
practical! bearings Of this magnificent pro
gramme in reference to the Cuban policy of Nj
Buchanan: His great ambition is the pur
chase Of the island of Cuba, and if he can bu
it on reasonable terms he will buy it that
