Advices have beep received from Havannah, through Charleston, of the 24th July, which state that Captain-General 111AnY, the Governor of Cuba i died at Havannah on the 19th of that month. In connexion with that event, the fol lowing particulars of the state of the island will be found to possess interest HAVANNAH, JULY 23 You have no doubt heard of different parties (political) exist ing here, and perhaps were led to conclude that confusion and anarchy soon would take place. Since my arrival I have made it my business to look into the intentions and views of the contend ing parties, and find this to be the result:—A party, composed principally of European Spaniards, was opposed to the nomina tion of his Excellency Governor Mahy, as the Captain-General, while at the same time each of them was crying " rive la Con stitution !" and professing themselves firm supporters of the present Government of Spain. The other party consisted of the natives of the island, who became firmly attached to Go vernor Illahy, and were determined to support him in all his measures. It was necessary for the Governor to attach himself to one party, and of course he took the side with the natives; this caused many of the European party (which, by the bye, was the strongest at first) to come over, and the party of the natives gained the ascendancy, and I think will keep it. I cannot dis tinguish these parties by any peculiar name, as the members of both are decidedly in favour of the constitution. The death of the Captain-General, which occurred on the 19th inst., is an event deeply regretted by the Spaniards, and all good men. He was acknowledged to have been the man most fit to govern here ; the laurels he gained in the actions in the Peninsula won the adoration of the military ; and his wis dom in the cabinet, the admiration of the politician. Possess ing, in a considrable degree, the suaviter in mod°, e.t 'crater in re, he became the idol 'of the majority of the people, who saw that the welfare of the island was his pole star. Upon Governor Mahy's being taken ill, he conceived it prow per that a Governor pro tem. should be appointed, and as there was a difference of opinion whether the supreme authority should be vested in the Lieutenant-Governor Kinderland, or in the Intendant Perillas, or whether the Military Au thority should be vested in the former, and the Civil in the latter person, he called upon the Provincial Deputies to decide, and they unanimously agreed that 'Governor Kinderland should take the command. This venerable man has, therefore, again upon his shoulders the care of the state , and from the love in which he is held by his countrymen, and the honourable manner iri which he filled the office of Gover nor of Florida', and several places on this island, there is no doubt but that under his command peace will continue, and ,the welfare of the country increase. His talents are highly ' spoken of, both in the field and cabinet, and his manners very engaging. I was much is pleased with him on being intro duced : his countenance placid, his person tall and thin, and his hair gray : he is about 65 years of age. the city is, and has been fof some time, very sickly, and the number of deaths very great. - • - Among the shipping in the harbour the fever has raged, and imany a poor sailor carried to his strict account. " The reader will be surprised to learn, that after a discus sion of two days by the Committee of Stewards on the - propriety and prudence of giving the memory of the late unfortunate Marquis of Londonderry, that it was decided the toast should not be given by the chair—that it should not be in t* list of toasts—and yet the necessity of the same discretion which caused this determination might have been urged on , the mind of the Noble Marquis by that Committee, and thus have saved that Noble Lord from the pain which he must have expe riencedon witnessing the effects of, the toast." Now what is the fact ? In arranging the toasts to be an nounced by the President, two of the stewards observed, that if the memory of the Marquis of Londonderry should be given, it would be considered by some of the company to be a political or party toast, and as such might interrupt the unanimity of the meeting. The majority, that is ten of the twelve Stewards then present, thought otherwise, and assigned the reasons of their opinion; It was then remarked by one .of the minority, that if the toast were to be proposed by the Marquis of Done gall, no objection could, he conceived, be m..de to it, and this mode of giving it was finally adopted, not because the majority thought there Was Any reason to apprehend that the unanimity of the company would be disturbed by the proposed toast, but because they were anxious that the whole arrangements should be approved of by all the Stewards. That such was the arrangement made on this occasion,'we have the authority of the President, the Vice-President, and of other members of the Committee of Stewards, to state. . . Well then, under the express sanction: of the Stewards them selves, the Noble thiest of the Meeting proposed the toast, at the proper timeand did so, we are well informed, under strong emotions—for Lord Londonderry was not only dear to his heart, as his Steady and affectionate friend, but had given es sential aid in carrying through Parliament the very Bill which has secured his hereditary rights to his children and their pos terity, and has ditlused such general exultation through the town of Belfast—an exultation manifested both by public re joicings and by the festive entertainment at which its principal inhabitants were then assembled. __ _ . The toast thus given was universally drank by the company where the President sat and at some Other tables (a ). It was also generally drank in some other parts of the room, and was in progress through the remainder of the company ; but whilst this was going on, Mr. Lawless, in the first instance, called out, " Mr. Chairman ! (b) Mr. Chairman ! Mr. Chairman !" and then, having found this call unavailing, placed one foot on the form on which he hadi sat and another on the table. Here he stood for soiree time with his arm outstretched and a pencil extended. betwixt his fingers, in the attitude Of a Mercury about to soar aloft on some celestial errand, samq mission of peace, from father JOve.:--bilt our Hermes seemed to be rather a mes senger of Pluto— , " A herald rising from the Stygian shore To seatter.discord and awake uproar." A - nd now the almost universal indignation of the insulted company btirst forth' in cries of '" Down with hini ! down, clown! out with him ! out, out !" intermingled with some eja culations o 1 " hear him ! let him speak,". &e. Few, indeed, were the supporters of Mr. Lawless in the insult whichle thus offered to Lord Donegall and his inviters. They might yet be enumerated. Mr. Lawless now got upon the table, where he stood uttering words which no man heard, and using gesticulations which no man comPrehended, till the President came down to him, and he was removed to his seat, as stated in our last number. _ Such are the plain matters of fact—such the cause of the uproar by which the harmony of the company was disturbed. Mr. Lawless indeed tells us, with much risible gravity, that on this occasion " the memory of the unfortunate Marquis of Lon donderry was pursued with groans and hisses, and almost uni. versal indignation." Yes ! there were groans, but it was Mr. Lawless who was grbaned—hisses—but it was Mr. Lawless who was hissed—almost universal indignation—bUt it was on Mr. Lawless it burst, in a torrent of sound. - What ! is Mr. Lawless' so ignorant as to suppose, that if the memory, of Lord Londonderry had been generally hooted at, the Marquis of Donegan' the invited guest, who, kinder the sanc tion of the Stewards, had proposed it as a toast, would have re mained a moment longer in a company where he himself was' thus insulted—a company guilty of such a flagrant breach of the laws of hospitality and of honour ? , Alas ! such seems to' have been the astounding effects of the indignation of the company on Mr. Lawless's mind, that he ap pears to have almost totally forgotten the transactions of tile evening—and hence we find him, in his published report of them, drawing on laney not on memory for a narrative of the scenes which had passed before his own eyes. It is not, there fore, to be wondered at, that in the flights of his imagination, he has not only inverted the order of tne toasts given, but for gotten the speeches which were really delivered, substituted some other matters in their places, •and even supplied Sir Stephen May with words never uttered. by him—words which might involve him in a personal quarrel with Mr. Arthur Chi chester, if this gentleman were so singularly foolish, so ab surdly credulous, as to place the Slightest reliance on " The Irishman's" rhodomondates. Sir Stephen May never once men tioned Mr. Arthur Chichester's name, in any part •of 'his speech—Nor :did the Marquis of Donegan utter a syllable,-re specting persons " who reside on his estates," an allusion to their supposed dependence upon him, as his tenants, whiCh " The Irishman," in the fawning and adulatory tone in which he reports his imaginary speech, ascribes to that Nobleman. • We presume it is .under this same temporary aberration of mind that he first affirms, in allusion to the toast given by Lord Donegan, that it is one " which no Irishman who can re collect the scenes of the last 30 years in Ireland can in our mind give with consistency"—then again he - tells us, ".that it was a natural and an honest feeling, in Lord Donegan, to give the toast, and particularly, if not rerfionstrated with by . the Stewards, whose duty it was to advise his Lordship on so. un- . portant a subject"—and lastly, he gravely alleges,- that Mr. Lawless, had he been heard, would have satisfied every man,' that the toast might have been drank without compromising the principle of any man in the room, and preserving at the same time the feelings of Lord J)onegall." All this is de.: lightfully paradoxical - , and will appear still more amusing, when we inform our readers, that immediately after Mr. Law leses complete 'defeat—just after his removal from his elevated stand on the table, to his former more lowly station, t he express ed' himself thus to a gentleman who sat, beside him :—" As an Irishman, I shall never, if I can help it, suffer the name of Castlereagh or Londonderry to• be mentioned but with disgrace and infamy." (e) , Now, in the name of common sense, was-it necessary that Mr. -Lawless should waste-his treasury 'of words in endeavouring (a) We have made minute inquiries on this subject from most respectable quarters, and find that our former report Was substantially correct. We also find that the words in which the toast was given were• as follow —" Gentlemen, I beg to give you the memory of my friend and countryman,. the late Marquis of Londonderry." Previously to Lord Donegall's giving this toast, he requested the glasses to be filled, which request was complied. with, as far as it was heard, at the Presi dent's and the neighbouring tables. On these subjects we have made particular inquiry, not only from the President and Vice. President, but from Lord Donegal', and the Sovereign of the town, and on their authority we state the facts thus minutely. At some of the tables, where there were lists of toasts , the glasses were filled for the toasts which happened to be next in order in the'Stewards' lists, and when - the memory of Lord London •derry was.given it was repeated; in some instances, by a person stationed at a proper distance RI catch the sound. (b) 'We . state this circumstance 011 the Authority-of sotne Gentlemen-wha.sat,-at ; the same -table with, and near to, Mr. Lawless. ,(c) This we mention on indubitable authority. to persuade the respectable inhabitants of Belfast to drink the Memory of Lord Londonderry ?—Has he forgotten the address which they presented, and the dinner they gave to his Lordship in the 'year 1816 ? Has he forgotten with what pride they claimed him for their countryman ? Does he not remember that on Feb. 13, 1818, when a dinner was given by them to Lord Belfast, they drank with glee the health of the then MarquiS of Londonderry, and the Marchiohestof Londdnderry, as well as of Mid and Lady Castlereagh', and the house of Stuart? Did the Marquis of Donegall need such an auxiliary as Mr. Law less ? or did he-wish to be ineumbered with his clogging old ! Mr. Lawless, it appeal* when standing on the table, had a sort of vision, in which the Presidente Mr. Cunningham Grecr, - al , pearedlo enter into a kind of comproinise with him.—Dlr. Greg, lioWever, who had no similar dream, informs us that such compromise never took place. On the -Contrary, when the President was retiring to his seat, he Withdrew under the ta.e.: mendous displeasureof Mr. Lawless, who shook his hand and said—" you shall hear from me to-morrow." Again Mr. Lawless says—" We are inform \ ed that at Mr. Batt's table, the greater portion turned down their glasses," &c.--This also _seems to have been a dream--one of those phantoms which flit through a disturbed brain, and are We have the authority of Mr. Batt himself, and of other gentle men who were at his table, for affirming, that no such thing took place. Again, Mr. Lawless asserts, that after the uproar began, " the Chairman quitted his` chair, and, we understand, was about to leave the room, till called back by some friends." This, also, it appears, was seen In the spirit, not in the flesh. The Chairman left his chair to reawnstrate with Mr. Lawless, and put him down. When that was effected he returned. • , Well—but Mr. Lawless intimates that the entertainment given to Lord Donegall was " a public meeting," and that he and every man in that " assembly" had a right to be heard on the subject of the toast given by his Lordship. In the name of wonder what does the man mean ? Does he not know that the entertainment was " a subscription dinner "—and is he not aware, that on such occasions Stewards are appointed to ar range the toasts, and a Prtssident named to - preServe order, when they are given (d.)—Now, in such cases, if every man in a company of 240 individuals has a right to make speeches, in defiance of the President's authority ' the tumult at Babel would appear a mere lullaby, if it could be contrasted with the scenes bl uproar which would frequently ensue from such licen tious liberty. Nay, let us suppose that there were three per sons present at one of those meetings, afflicted, like some others, with the Cacocthes Blaterandi, " the rage for babbling"—what human ears could endure the chidings, the clamours, the bel lowings, the " confusion worse confounded," which would spring from their inveterate malady, if there were no medical men at hand to abate its symptoms by instantaneous venesec tion ? On the whole of the affair, we beg leave to remind our read ers, that notwithstanding 'The Irishman's" allegation to the contrary, no question took' place at the meeting as to the pro priety of the toast given by Lord Donegan. The only point at issue had direct reference to Mr. Lawless himself, and when his object had been completely fustrated and he had resumed his seat, he was permitted, for the sake of tranquillity, to remain where he was. In short, so weak was his party and so little in clination, had the general company to espouse his cause, that he was not even suffered to utter three sentences which could have been distinctly heard. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BELFAST NEWS-LETTER. Sin—lt is with much satisfaction I have read the declara.; tion of the Stewards for conducting the dinner given to the Marquis of Donegan in this day's Commercial Chronicle; and regarding as I do the honour and character of this town and neighbourhood, I am anxious to remove the aspersions that have been cast on both, in consequence of the disgraceful circum stances which took place upon that occasion. In support of your just and candid publication of Friday last, I beg to re mark that the following facts absolutely did take place :—At an early hour the Marquis of Donegall rose and said, " he had permission from the Chair to give a toast," and begged that the glasses might be filled, which having been done, his Lord: - ship said, " Gentlemen, I beg to give you the memory.of my friend and countryman, the late Marquis of Londonderry."— The Chairman repeated the toast, which, he observed, was to be drank in solemn silence. It was so, in the part of the room' where I was, and as far as came within my observation - , with out noise, disapprobation, or observation of any kind, in the' usual and accustomed manner, the company standing ; and when they had sat down, and not until then, a person rose and said, -" Mr. Chairman ! Mr. Chairman !" frequently. Being interrupted, he then got on his seat with one foot on the table . —the more he persevered the greater was the opposition to Ilea bins, and, after considerable tumult, he was obliged to sit down. The Chairman called him to order several times in voitin,and at length went to him. Mr. Greg soon returned to his place, and proceeded with his routine of toasts. In this statement I can be supported by the tegthriony . of a great number of Gentlemen who had an equal opportunity of knowing the facts. I was in a situation which fully enabled me to see what took place. It was evident that the sense of the company was strongly adverse to this unekampleki and un becoming interruption. The few who supported it sufficiently identified themselves; however, it produced an irritation that spoiled the conviviality of the evening, which, I have no doubt, would otherwise have terminated as it commenced—in joy and unanimity. I feel warranted in this expression, because when that great man, the Marquis of Londonderry, was in Ireland in the year IMO, he was magnificently and deservedly entertained in this town by a great:portion of the same individuals who were pre sent at the entertainment on Wednesday last, and by many others; he was enthusiastically received, and he met the ap plause and approbation be so fully merited, by his talents and acquirements as a public man, and by his intrinsic worth in private life ; and I should be glad to 'know what he has done since that period to forfeit the character he had then acquired. Was it by his valuable support of the Marriage Act ? Further, the health of this Noble Lord was uniformly drank upon pub lic occasions here, and that of several of his family, with mark ed approbation. And again, his noble brother, the present Marquis, was some- time ago splendidly entertained by this town. It is remarkable, Sir, that a similar uproar never took place here before. Why ? because the individual who pro duced the uproar never before (to my knnwledge) had a similar opportunity of exciting one at such .a dinner in Belfast.—This individual has now had such an opportunity—it may probably be the last : either our festive entertainments Must cease, or such persons must be prevented from attending them. The great and distinguished compliment intended to be so justly paid to the Noble Guest by so many Gentlemen of high distinction, and by the respectable merchants'of this - great town, was interrupted by this stranger, supported by a very few per sons, in - What appeared to me a premeditated insult, but which I cannot allow to attach to, or in any ways affect, one of the most respectable and numerous assemblages of Gentlemen 'that ever took place in this town. ' I remain,. Sir, your obedienthumble Servant, • TliosLas VERNER, September 2. Swiereign of Belfast. TO TiIE , EDITOR OE THE BELFAST. NEWS-LETTER. Sift—l *as one of those inhabitants of Belfast who witnessed their town and townsmen dishonoured and degraded on a recent occasion, by the unwarrantable presumption of a single indi vidual; a stranger, that seems - determined to introduce the torch of dikord among us, in eVerY form and on every occasion ;, in the hburs devoted to conviviality and harmony, as well as in the defiled pages of his licentious . . In the case alluded to, we find him insolently breaking through every rule of decorum, by invading the rights oflos pitality, insulting and bearding the Very-Nobleman to whom the entertainment was giVen. Not content with the mischief of thaiou'r, he now, foiled in his incessant slando-s of the dead _has the audacity to deny the evidence of every Man's senses, who beheld him deposed from his Charlatan eleyntion, after distorting every muscle in the fruitless, attempt to be heard. He insinuates that, so far frdm being directed against him self, the very groans, hisses, reviling and execrations of the assembly, indignant at his misconduct, were excited by a toast given by our honoured guest as a tribute of .4ratitude to the memory of his friend. In giving it, his Lordship abstain- (-dy The following is a list of the Stewards appointed on this occasion.

PIRACY. . . tain the " Richmond Equirer." . f t The atrocities which have been practisea on the coasts of Cuba, by piratei, On our commerce; Ought not only to be resisted by our cruizers, but by the most urgent re-; monstrances to the Government of Spain.. The: executive of the United States have manifested no inconsiderable energy in sending out a naval force to the West India seas. Much-hat already been done by our vesselt. Many a pirate has been taken, and Many a prize sated from his fangs. It remains for' us to treat the Loicamer who falls into our power with tbe verity which is necessary to strike an awe into his companions. But the evil goes on. Cut off one head of this hydra, and anotheigrows up in its plice. The rich booty pretiented by the extensive commerce Of the West Indies tempts the idle and -- profligate seaman to embark in-the enterprise: The immuni.. ties held out prineipally in the island of Cuba ; the facilitiej of fitting out the ' pirate, and disposing of his booty, encourage, Phis nefa rious speculation. The scenes are horrible to relate. Passenger's are stripped of their all ; females are insulted and violated ; the ereWs and captains are hung up and tortured to extort confessions of concealed money. Our naval - force has done its duty: What, : though - the Spaniel navy has slept upon its, oars, and seen in the very sight of their harbours' such atrocities perpetrated upon their friends or even upon thernSelveS } What, though the 1080. ships of Britain have remained inactife, while their merchaa - ships have fallen victims, or been only . saved from rapacity -b the exertions of Our seamen ! The dis grace is' theirs, the gltry is ours. Our little navy his done its dutY...-they have - done 0.11 . ,- that they could do—unlesS our large ships were commissioned'' with corps of marines to land and cut up the nests of bucanitrs, on shore. But whatever doubts may attend this expedient._,' both as to its policy and expence, there is one measure whidi the Government is bound to pursue. Where are the. nests of; these pirates principally, found Lei the following extract of-; a letter from on board the United States' schooner Grampiis v , at Havannah, inform . . _ " The priUcipal establishment of the pirates is near Principe; - the capital of the island, and it hardly seems possible for the United States, without the aid of Government, (honestly af-1 forded), to put these marauders dihr. Most of these expedi. tions are fitted out, in the first instance, ,at a village called Re. piles, one quarter of a mile from this city, and under the eye oft the Government. More than one hundred persons belonging: • to this place are known to he concerned in this infamous and 't. abominable business : however, but little can be expected froth the Present rulers here, while they keep the men of war in pott, and suffer the little patriot cruisers to capture their merchant vessels almost under the guns of the.. Moro, and on all parts of the coast. Tie, British cruisers seem to be as care less of protecting their defencelegs nierchantruen from the pi. rates, as they are anxious to run from port .to prt, carrying Specie." And are we to suffet in patience this horrible weakness,. neglect, connivance (state it as you will) from, Spain ? (tuba (where the Villa del Principe is) belongs to Spain. She It - liable for the use that she makes, or suffers to be made, of •• her jurisdietion.
