ST. JAGO DE CUBA.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED NOV. 1.)
" After an absence of fifty-two days from this Nit, returned
here the sloop of war Maria Francisca, with an American
brig transporting the troops of Coro, 'and a number of officers
from Terra Firma. These report that they had been in sight
of. Porto Rico, but they could not proceed from want of water.
This Government has chartered a good French brig to transport
thither the officers and troops, and it is said they will sail this
week under convoy of the sloop.
" The American sloop Luciana, from Porto Rico, in a short
passage arrived here yesterday, with several foreigners and
Spaniards on board, of respectable character, who assure us that
General Calzado, second to Morales, had sailed a few days be-
fore from Porto Rico with several transports, conducting 400
men, which had been collected in that island, who under con-
voy of the privateer Flechera, safely landed at Porto Cabello,
which place they found safe, and occupied the Fort de la Vigia
tiately held by the rebels). They also assert, that the whole
of the interior of the province of Car-4cm.; is in a great ferment—
cries every where of Viva la Espana,' in favour of which was
a very large party waiting for a propitious event to declare them-
selves. The Occupation of :Maracaibo by Morales has been the
cause that the whole of Terra Firma has set itself in motion in
favour of Old Spain.
" The frigate Ligera, with her Commander, Laborde, is in
port at Curagoa, where came in sight. five schooners directing
their course to that point. This brave' Commander presented
himself immediately to the Governor, and asked permission to
set sail and reconnoitre, but was positively refused ; but as he
made the most energetic protestations in the name of the Spanish
nation, he was at last permitted to sail, which was immediately
effected, and coming up with the five schooners, he beat them
completely, took three out of five, and conducted them in triumph
to Porto Cabello.

" He found on board of them four thousand muskets and a
large quantity of ammunition, with some gentry, calling them-
selves Governors, Intendants, &c. The two schooners which
escaped entered Caraceas. The Governor of .the island had
them scrupulously searched, and there being found many in-
struments of war, ammunition, and a quantity of papers, he
arrested the people,l and sequestered the ships until further
orders from (overnment. We owe the security of this Isle to
Morales, Laborde, and Calzado, who are indefatigable to pro.
test us in our tranquillity."

territory, war would not, by any means, have
been its necessary consequence. An unauthor-
ized violation of the Territory of France
by a Spanish Officer, could only have afforded a
ground to the French Government for demanding
the punishment of the offending Officer. If that
demand were followed by the punishment of the
delinquent, there the affair would terminate. If,

on the contrary, the Spanish Government refused
to punish the party who had committed an act
of hostile aggression against France, the viola-
tion would in fact be a commencement of war,
not by France against Spain, but by Spain
against France ! From the remarks of the offi-
cial paper of the Spanish Government on the
Notes of France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia,
our Readers will see that in Madrid these diplo-
matic annunciations are not considered as indi-
cative of war.

SP INISIt CLAtsts.---The Board of Commis.
sioners under the 11 th article of the Florida
,
teaty, after a most laborious Session, having
completed the examination of all the cases in
which the claimants were prepared for a bearing,

- •
adjourned on the 22d instant, to meet again on
the 18th of February next. Of the claims
set down for examination, they have decided
upon 192; of whioh 11 3 have been allowed as
valid, and 79 have been rejected for want of suffi-
cient evidence to establish their validity. In
this number of claims, are embraced the losses
'upon 136 vessels ; in 79 of which the proofs
have been considered as satisfactory, and in b 7 as
insufficient. A catalogue of the vessels, in both
classes, is subjoined for the information of those con-
cerned. Since the June session of the Board, no
memorial of a claim has been permitted to be
filed, unless accompanied by an affidavit of the
party, alleging some satisfactory reason for the
delay or neglect to present it under the repeated
orders of the Board in this respect. The whole
• number of memorials now in file is 1662 ; of
' which, 1176 have been received, as showing cases
within the terms of the treaty. Of this number,
however, many are mere supplements, intended
either to correct some informality in the original
memorial, or to add some fact regarded as im-
portant to the history of ,the Case.—(National
lytelligencer.)
In the brig Elizabeth Ann, arrived in Tramp.
ton Roads, on Friday night, came passenger Don
MAxisto DE FARAD°, formerly Spanish Intend-
ant of the province of Sonoro, in Mexico. lie
left the capital of that country, upon its falling
into the hands of Iturbide, and is 'now on his
way to Europe to join his family.

By the Breton, arrived at Nantes, letters were
yesterday received from Bahia, dated the 22(1 of
October. Up to that period the contest between
the Brazilians and the Portuguese had produced
no result, though a constant firing, attended with
much injury to the town, had been kept up on
both sides. The great object of the former is to
dispossess MADEIRA of the fort previous to the
arrival of the expedition from Lisbon, which was
expected in the beginning of November. Several
Portuguese families have left the place, and ar-
tived at Nantes as passengers in the Breton.
The English had embarked their most valuable
property on board the Greok frigate.
The Duke of YonK left town on Sunday, oh a
visit to the Earl of Bill DU WATER 'at Hemel Hemp-
stead, Hertfordshire.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at
the East India House, when the Right lion. Lord
A XIIERST was introduced, and took the usual
oaths, on being appointed Governor-General of
-.Bengal. His Lordship afterwards dined with
the Directors at the City of London Tavern, at
which were present his Majesty's Ministers, the•
Lord Chief Justice, the Vice-Chancellor, the
Right Hon. C/lARL ES GRANT, and many other
distinguished characters.
On Tuesday Mr. LATCHFORD, the King's Mes-
senger, arrived in town with dispatches from Mr.
HILL, at Turin.
Mr. DRAFFEN, the King's Messenger, arrived
in town a few days since from Verona, being the
last Messenger from that mission.
The Reverend REGINALD HEBER has been
mentioned as the Successor to the See of Cal-
cutta. It is said that it was offered to him by
Mr. WYNNE some weeks since. Should -Mr. liEnEa decline it, it is expected that the Rev.
J. LYALL, one of the Chaplains of the Bishop of
LospoN, will be appointed to it. This Gentle-
man, from his learning, acquirements, and inte-
grity of character, is admirably qualified for the
Important trust, and, we believe, will prove him-
self to be a fit successor to the late excellent and
venerable Bishop.
