From which we have had translated the
following correspondence between the
patriotic governor Of Cuba, and the late
mneral Ferrand.
From the Haoanna AwD1,a of 14h Dec.
In consequence Of the declaration OF war
against the French nation, many French
residents in Cuba solicited the governor,
Don Sebastian kendeIan, to furnish them
with the means of Transporting thems ives
to the city Of ST. Domingo. Theirreqoest
was complied with, and the Spanish felucca
Caroline, commanded BY Don Miguel Te-
sic, was dispatched as flag of truce, with
which the governor sent the following letter
to general ferrand, containing list OF the
persons on boare.:
Excellent Sir,
have the honor Of forwarding to
your excelency list Of those persons OF
the French nation who have petltioned a
passage to the city of St. Domingo, in the
Spanish felucca Caroline, under the COM
mand of Don Miguel Iesie-and the honor

To MS exceIlency Don Sebastian Kindelan,
Governor of the Province Of Cuba.
Sir,
have received from captain Tesie the
letter which you did me the honor to write
10 me on the 18th of the present month. The
passengers, the list Of whom your letter
contained, have safely arrived in the Spanish
felucca Caroline. I cannot conceal. from
you my astonishment at your announcing
this vessel as a flag Of truce, and that you
should have dispatched her as such. have
ever been persuaded, and all sensible men
are of the same opinion, that Spain is in
perfect peace with France, and that not the
slightest i'll will or any kind of hostility
whatever subsists between. the two GOVERN
ments. With what reason then can the
Spanish colonies, which are bound to obey.
the mother country, arrogate TO themselves
