A letter to the editors Of the Baltimore Anne
ricAn, from an intelligent correspondent: at Ha
vana, under date of the LIST inst. communicates
the following intelligence
1--WE are quiet here at present and expect to
remain so for some time, unless visited by some
of our neighbors. The troops lately arrived
from Europe, and those yet expected, with the
great number of loyalists this place contains,
make it probable that no attempt, at present,
to overthrow the government, would be attend
ed with success ! say the great number OF
loyalisis here, as all those, or at least great
number ortuo,e who have been expelled from
Colombia OF Mexico, hocked to this place.
We have in port six frigates, and in Havana
and the immediate neighborhood, about 5000
European troops. Ii is supposed there are a.
bort $500 to 5000 European troops more in the
other part, OF the Island There are also about
l. 200 coloured troops, hut these are not kept in
active service. What would be the consequence
OF an actual invasion, no one can foreteli.-
Some think they would be repulsed, unless very
strong indeed; while others believe that great
number of the Creoles, and all the vagabonds,
of which we have great number would flock
to the standard Of any invader, and render their
success certain. We are here quite in the dark,
and know no more of what is going on at the
opposite part Of the Island. than we do of the
interior OF Africa We look for the news from
the United States. | do not send you any
newspapers, they would be as useless as blank
paper. The two daily papers printed here are
filled with trash Of no use 10 any intelligent
reader here, and if possible, less to citizen of
the United States. In the mean time, the trade
of this place is daily decreasing, it not being
now one half of what it was three years ago =
The enormous traffic carried on here with Mex
leo is totally annihilated."

MAT.ANZAS.

A letter from mercantile friend at Ma,an-
zas, dated Jan. IA, states that the slave trade
though not carried on openly, in tina, port,i as
brisk as ever. Vessels clear for the coast oil
Africa, and bring large cargoes and land them
on the coast Of the island. Those who want
may purchase, The price of a good negro is
from $500 to $50. No one says any thing
against the trade, because every one is interest.
ed, and if the chief magistrate Of the place gets
his bride, he cares for nothing further. The
Mexican and Colombian squadrons are expect
ed at Matanzas in the month Of March, and
it is not impossible that the place may go into
the possession ofthe Colombians, without much
resistance.

On motion of Mr.. Mallary, Of Vermont, the

carried on between the Ports aforesaid-aiso
the number of vessels and their tonnage, and
the value of property lost by shipwreck and o.
Their causes, in voyages around the Capes OF
Florida, all of which information to extend to
each of the last three years.
Onmotion Of Mr.. Everett Of Massachusetts,,
the Committee of Ways and Means were in.
s,ructed to inquire into the expediency Of re-
yising the laws regulating the Importation OF
foreign Books.
Mr.. Miner of Pennsylvania, called up for con-
sideration resolution submitted by him on the
10Th January last, requesting the President OF
the United States to cause 10 be laid before the
House, statement, showing the amount ofRe-
venue derived from imports and tonnage, re-
ceived by the Treasury from the ports within
the Bay of Delaware, from the LIST January,
l-eo, to the last of December, 1925; and the a
mount Of expenditures paid from the Treasury
for Forts, Lighthouses, Beacons, and other
public works erected to aid commerce, or for
the purposes Of defence within said Bay, during
said time. And that the like information be
given of the receipts and expenditures within
the Bay ofthe Chesapeake. And that the like
information be given Of the receipts and expen-
ditures within and experiment. 10 the harbor OF
New-Y York And that the like information be
given of the receipts and expenditures at Bos'
ton and the Harbor thereof.
Mr. Webster of Massachusetts, and Mr.. NJ.
Coy of Virginia, opposed the resolution, and
Mr.. Wright of Ohio, made an Intellectual effort
to amend it, so as to embrace more general IN
formation. The resolution was supported by
Mr.. Miner and Mr.. Wurtz, Of Pennsylvania
and after considerable debate, rejected. The
House then took up the engrossed bill for the
relief of Penelope Denny, which was opposed
by Mr.. Cooke of Tennessee, and MIR. Aston OF
North Carolina, but was finally read a third
time and passed: ayes SO, noes II.
On motion Of Mr. McLaue, Of Delaware, the
House resolved itself into committee OF the
whole on the Bill making appropriations FOL
the Naval service Of the United States for the
year 1926: After some progress the committee
rose and obtained leave to sit again; and The
House adjourned.

thor iusti6es reliance on the authenticity Of
the work, and an expectation that this nara
tive will be both interesting and faithful. In
his prospectus, he describes the population Of
the country he has visited, with single dash
of the pen, as effectually as if he had written an
elaborate treatise for the purpose. 1t is the
country, he says, "where the pursuit OF gold
has Frustrated agriculture at the foot Of ava
rice, and the native Savage points the finger Of
scorn at the degraded Spaniard." The true
description of the countries possesses all the
interest Of romance, without ITS fiction.

Extract of letter, dated Harrisburg, Feb. s.
"There has been conference with the Mary
land deputies, thro' joint committee of both
houses; consisting Of twelve, FIVE from the Sen
ate and seven from the House Of Representa-
tives. The conference was he'd in the Repre-
sentatives' chamber in the presence of the
whole legislature and concourse Of citizens.
The Maryland deputies were heard at great
length; their manner was entirely conciliatory
and fraternal The loss of slave property in
Maryland seems to have been much greater
than at distance can well be supposed, and
The execution of the laws, as they now stand,
seldom gives relief to the claimant, and almost
always endangers the public peace. They ask
for nothing but what is guaranteed to them by
the constitution of the United States; they anx-
oasly desire that in recovering fugitives the
safety and security of free persons of color may
not be ieopardized, and that rescues and riot
Gus asaemb!ies may not be superinduced.
