Although this laj-t prssession of t-'pain in America is so fierctlv courted, by a li.rgc poition of our countrymen, we em-poet there arc very few of them .who know iiiuch nbuut its extent, or its capabilities. For the benefit of such of our readers n come under this category, wc subjoin the fnllowing description, hoping that it may not prove uninteresting at a period like this. Cuba is the largest, and mo.-t westerly of the Antilles. It lies (approximately) between lati tude 10 and "J:! north, and longitude 71 and 85 west (from" Giceiiwieh ) It tits' forty miles west of lln'yti, one hundred and twenty south-nf Cape L'luriila. It is mnro than seven hundred miles lung, by up wards of ono hundred broad; I and, with the adjoining islets, contains 44,000 j s'luarc miles, being as large as the State of Peon : sylvania. 'Its 'coi.li-iiialion, extent, number of I-ports, fertility, climate, and resources, render it an extremely interesting country, lsut all of these sink into insignificance when compared with its geographical position, which is such as to render any strong power, that may hold pos session of if, absolute mas'er of tho Gulf of : --i ; toi "n ot Mexico. That Gulf, indeed, beingof a circular form, althrugh eight hundred miles in circjltnfer- ncc, is closed by the island, with tho exception two narrow passes, ene to the south between ! ape ( atoelio und lupeM Antonio, and tho ! other .to the north, between liahia Honda and j the coast of Florida.
