Tl,ut the Committer have met, and i• the discharge of

stated, that the extracts which he preseatrd at the her of the

poadeace between him and Colonei Browne respecting the
"cause' of the mission of Giuseppe Butelli to Milan, on Kee

The Committee then procrided to examine and to verify
thew extracts; sad upon comparing them with the ports ex-
b•hited to throe of the drafts of Mr. l'uwell's leaving to Cul.
FrOW Ile, and of she original letters of dal. Brun ne to Mr.

Broom: to Mr. Powell, and received by, the latter inure the

Secondly, the extracts from the letters which have passed

Krum the first of these it appears to the Comititter, that
as early as the 4th of hely, 1820, a letter was written ley
Col I Browne to 31r Powell, and rye-cued, as the latter
-eltiposee, about the 12th of the saint. month, though he
cannot now ascertain she precise date of its arrival, in

LETTER 4 FROM .1 ItESIDENT AT CUBA.

(From " The New :Wanly Magazine.")

here I am established, iii the midst of a dreary
country, covered with volcanic ruin, without ant•
,prospect hut that of a hew thinly-n'atte'red trees
which afford m► shade, and the p.ile green of which
' has tin charm for the imagination. I shall rtitertaiii
you this tune with a subject less dismal than the
sonata negro. I have already informed you that 1
was ►ixty days on the passage : I was impatient to
discover land, and still more to set foot on it. Fancy
painted it as the most beautiful country in the
world ; but h.iw different was the reality ! Instead of
an enchanting coast, eintinelled with a thousand
flowers, and watered by twenty meandering streams,
all was hare, dreary, and desolate. Much as I Wag
dilliappOililed, I still belief d iir idea our learned and
indefatigable Petit du Thouar.. climbing like a
goat over the nicks that scarcely project abuse the

You advance through dirty narrow streets, lined
with low !looses, the ungifted windows of which
are only closed with wooden shutters. Their
lousuest merely serves to aggravate the 'minis)! ion-
prevalet : thousands of whites and blacks, mostly
covered with togs. excite disgust in the newly-ar-
rived sir:vier ; his brilliant expectations vanish,
and all that he sees is totally different from what
he anticipated. The whole way you have to de-
fend your face from swarm• of muakitors, and your
ears from the everlasting rim of eight or ten hells.
O'ie tolls fur * dying person, another fur a funeral,
a third for divine service. At length you reach
your inn, which you would not take to he such,
unless you were told so. A prodigious hall, us
large as our biros, slid 1111110 ft as bare. is the pub-
lic-room ; the smell cells of bedchamber, are, if
any. shill inure naked. here you find your-
self without any other furniture than s truckle-bed.
You throw yourself upon it. rather in order to see
and hem no inure, then to sleep. Vain hope ! The
wretched herd niettresa, whiels you have obtained
after long selicitation, pro/lucre iutrolerable heat and
uneasiness ; sleep (keg not visit you ; and unfortu-
nately you cannot here dream with your eyes open,
fur the moans that proceed from the adjoining
chamber, would cast a gloom over the liveliest
imagination. Such was my case the first alight : no
somier had I risen than l h4eteut.(l to inquire con-
cernmg my Pick neighbour, whose groan, had so
disturbed me. " Ile is out," was the reply : this
pacified me, till I heard next day that he was gone
out, never to return, having been fetched away to
be buried.
. This, my friend, is • faithful description of my
. first day. Thrre-fourths of the new-comerf have
quite enough of it, soul embark Spill immediately :
military men are usu illy In the greatest hurry to get

Lorain you seek to amuse yourself ; here is not
one building worthy of notice, no public garden, not
a tree to shade yes from the suit—nothing but har-
row muddy street*, sod low houses, the construct'
of which proclaims the infancy of the art. 111 short,
1111/Mllllll seems to have been built expressly for the
inliabotents by which it is peopled, In Europe, the
most abject wretchedness catmint present a more
cliagosting spectacle, that. those creatures, with
black and brown faces, who fill the public streets;
whose bodies, where they are not covered wills squa-
lid rags, exhibit plasters, poultices, and blister' of
Spoons!' flies. In a word, you fancy yourself nut
in a town, but in a vast hospital.
Aleiltisiks I beer you ask. " Do the more non-
halt inhabitants then never quit their houses I".
They certainly do, but they are seldom seen au
foot ; the heat and the (hit oblige them to make
their excursions in a volatile. As to the women,
whether rich or pour, custom forbids them the use
of their fret ; they cenitot go abroad except in •
carriage. awl theas they are alinnot wholly concealed
from unhallowed looks by a cloth curtain. A
peep into their houses is snore entertaining. The
largest apartment is level with she ground. and the
doors and windows are COlibillaily open. You know
not at first what to call this apartment, for you
see carriages, toilet, and bed, all huddled together.
Is it a coach-house, a parlour, or a bed-chumber ?
It is all three; and though it is eliien to the
street, yet all domestic offices are performed in it--
nay, even the women put on their chemise: there as
quietly as if they were screened from every intru-
sive eye. In London or Paris such a scene would
attract a crowd or spectators ; he re it is scarcely
noticed. Whether L. lon has the advantage in
point of 'notably I will nut pretend to decide; bust
certainly more decorum prevails in that city.
Towards evening, in the hope af indemnifying
yourself with social intercourse for the disappoint-
ments of the day, you repair to some acquaintatoce,
or to one of the persons to whom you have been re-
coentnended. You find the 'noisier of the house cud
his faintly in awful solitude. Perhaps you have come
too early. Such is your first thought. You wait
one hour. and then a second ;
interrupt the dulness of the comvermlion. lo this
country it is • reel effort to talk, from which you
feel, as it were, bathed its perspiration. Very SOUK
tired of speaking alone, you sink down upon gout
scut, and, after the example of boor host, setvi'm
yousself to sleep. On wookilig, you are offered a
glass of water; this is the sigtod for separating.
• after being well enterteitied, according to the
ideas of the colony, you take your leave.
The lodging-rooms here are of extramolinery di.
memanne; take measure of the apartments of the
King's library, and you may then futon an idea of
them. In some of these rooms you observe furni-
ture of European workmenship, but they appear
not the less bare ; fin it would require a whole
magazine of goods to make any kind of show. In
• country, moreover, where furniture is liable to
injury from err ll si 11l heat, and damp, it would
be necerrary to renew it every two or three yenta,
which would be very expensiee. The natives.
therefore. prefer keeping their gold and their pion.
tree, on which those enemies 'sellout make any
impression, and the sight of which offords much
snore gratificottion to the uncultivated mind thou the
productions of art and taste.
I nerd riot tell you that the merchants were the
first to set the example of embellishing their houses,
but hitherto they have been fill:owed by. very few.
The first families in the country still adhere to their
ancient manners and simplicity. 111 their apartments
scarcely any other stnicles of furniture are to be seen
:ban chests or boxes; these they place here and
there upon choirs. and Lame alter the use to a hich
theyvtioplied. That which contains papers, for in-
Maker, they call the secretaire, and that which
holds their lineu the commode. Hence you may
perceive that they are no strangers to the different
uses to which our various articles of furuiture are
appropriated.

are scarcely known, dramatic entermiumesits end
balls are almost indispensably necesalry. Respect-
jug the former I shall merely tell )ottillbat the

' Let me now conduct you to the assembly-rooms.
These are situated about half a mile from the tow,,.
Au avenue leads to them, at the eNtremity of which
is a statue of Charles 111. It is small, and the dress
is so faithfully copied as to give the king quite a ri.
iliculotis appearance. lam highly displeased with
the sculptor, whose chisel has thus exposed the best
and most enlightened of the Spanish Mottarclis to
the public derision. I had almost forgotten to men-
tion, that loomn the road close to this Piatur lies a
block of marble, upon which is rudely sketched the
head of Christopher Columbus. This shapeless image
of that great man, relinquished !almost a, soon as
hems, lies in the dust at the King's feet, a correct
emblem of the ingratitude of the Monarch whom
he served. About 20 years ago, during a moinen-
tory enthusiasm occasioned by the reiouvid of the
remains of the discoverer of the New World from Sao
Domingo to Havanna, it was determined to erect a
statue in honour of him ; souse money was collected
for the purpose; but not a purse was opened on a
second application, and the artist abandoned his
work in its present unfinished state. The insult
thins offered to the memory of Columbus will be re.
paid ; his ashes will not remain here; a people
more worthy of possessing them will avenge him.—
But to return to the balls of the Havanna.

Five or six hundred volamtes are employed in
conveying the ladies and gentlemen to the rooms.
These toluntes are not to be compared with the
meanest dour po3t-chaises; they are drawn by two
horses, sod driven by blacks. 'k ou enter the assem-
bly-rooms, but soon perceive that dooming is but a
secondary object of the eponymy. The first apart-
worms you pass through are full.of tabiescompleiely
covered with gold and silver. The largest ►ums are
lost and woo in a minute with& sangfroid wholly oin-

the some composure as they would perform the
must itatbflereut action. The father of • family
conducts leis wile sod thughier into the ball-room,
moil then joins the g.unesters ; all this is quite a
matter or course.

It is not accouitted degrading. to keep th►e blink ;
the best proof of which i•. that the bankers belong
to the noblest families in the colony. The laws and
the connwands .f the Governor, indeed, tlireateo
igiumblers with severe penalties; but those oho are
charged with the duty of prosecuting trausgreesors,
find it more advantageous to skretu them ; they
therefore undertake to persusde the Governor that
gaming is necessary and, doubtless, their
argornents are conriucing. since it is carried on
with open dean and almost iu public.

We are new in the bull-room. which is decorated
with simplicity and taste. A hundred tapers pour a

DARING BURGLARY.

A few nights ainre the dwelling-house of J. lugbah, Esq.
