NSURRECTION of SLAVES in CUBA.

We have been favoured with the following extract of a let-
ter, giving a more detailed account than has yet ben F übi sh d
of the disturbances of the negroes in the vicinity of the Ha-
vannah

" HAVANNAII, JULY 17.—When you hear of the difficulties
we have had here amongst the slaves, let it not akr.ii you, as
the affair was of no consequence. About 40 negroe,,, man-
cipados,' (these are negroes captured by the English from the
slave traders, whom they- make prisoners and bring to the Ha-
vannah ; they deliver them to the Spanish Government on con-
dition that they shall be free after five years' residence in the
colony,) probably badly advised, thought they would sooner ob-
tain their freedom by rising upon those who kept them, and
massacrcing all the white people they might meet on the high
road about three miles from the city. As soon as the alarm
was given, the cavalry,marched to the spot, led en by Gover-
nor Tacon ; orders were given not to spare one. They were
soon discovered, and massacred in their turn. Some of them
made a brutal resistance, and threw themselves like wild beasts
on the horses, and preferred to be absolutely cut into pieces
rather than surrender. Others fled, and a good many were
made prisoners. About IS or 20 lives have been lost, five of
which were whites, the rest negroes. This happened on Sun-
day,' the 12th instant, at one o'clock in the afternoon. On
Tuesday, the 14th; at the same hour, and almost on the same
spot, negro slaves, carrying water, either insulted or threatened
a sentinel, who was shot dead. Immediately afterwards a free

negro woman, having sonic property, and who was called by
fie blacks La Rana, was, a:kc px,4ancr,ias ‘011010410,e worte
free negrocs, whocs, were found concealed in her dwelling with
muskets and swords. Amongst them is one negro froic Ja-
maica, and another from St. Domingo. Six of the negroc-'s
who revolted on Sunday were shot ye3terday at five o'clock in
theaft.
üb.ernoon. There arc still many more to be executed."
