.WHY SPAIN WILL NOT SELL CUBA.--Thc
we'll informed Havana correspondent, Of
the Charleston Courier, noticing the pro-
position lately presented in Tho q. s. Sem
ate In the form of a petition from the citi-
liens of Wisconsin, for the purchase of Gu,
ba, says there is no use in trying to pur-
chase that island from Spain, for the feas-
on that she will not consent TO part with it.
She will hold on to itas long as possible:
1st Because of the monopoly Afforded in
Cuba to Santander for the sale Of her four.
and to Catalons, Of her wine, inanufacr
lures, &c.
Sd. Because Of the opportunity Afforded
by the retention Of Cuba BY Spain, to re-
ward the adherents Of the Spanish Govern
ment, by giving them places Of profit in
Cuba, while at the same time, the Island
also serves as place to which parties who
are considered dangerous to the Spanish
Government, may be sent, and thus for
the time got rid of, without giving them
| Just cause of offence. a8
Sd. All Spaniards, no matter what may
J be their condition in life, look upon Cuba
from the frat hour Of manhood) as a
"bright pillar STAR which points to future
greatncs, or as land Of promisee, flowing
with milk and honey" where fortunes arc
easily attained.
4th Spaniards holding Office, or being
in mercantile pursuits In Cuba, efford the
means Of Subsistence 10 their ',poor rela-
tions" in Spain who Of course are ayerse
to the sale ofthe island, whence they de-
rive their almost sole source Of support,
which would probably be Withdrawn wero
the Island, Sold o4
9Th. The pride which prcdoniinates in
the Spanish breast, almost to the exclusion
ofeyery other passion, naturally desires
the retention Of this Queen Of tho An
TILES by Spain, as now being almost tho
sole possession of the once splendid en-
pire Of which Spain was the mistress in
this hemisphere.
