10 lay them before our readers, but We COPY the
rough compliments which passed between those
gentlemen, in consequence Of their speeches;
and hay;rg heard with our own ears, every syi-

youch for the accuracy Of all that we have CO.
pied. !. may be that the words are not pre-
cisely those used by the parties, but they are as
nearly so, as it is possible for any reporter to
give-they contain the sum and substance Ct
what was said; and, as far as our memory serves
us, we recognise the very language. We speak
with the sincerity OF disinterested witnesses.
,shen we say the whole House seemed pleased
with the digni6ed, cool and undaunted manner
in which Mr.. Trimbls received and answered
Mr.. McQuf6e's enquiries. We cannot say the
same for MIR. McDufie: we doubt whether he

FROM HAVANA.

Baltimore, May 8.-To an esteemed friend
and correspondent at Havana, we are indebted
for the following very late intelligence from
that place. From the very great facilities pos
sessed by him of obtaining correct information,
the utmost reliance may lie placed in the con-
tents of his letter. Chronicle
Hauana, 26M 1priL, 1926.
Gentemen-Since my last, the only thing
new is th,. arrival of Spanish ship Of war, the
Saffino from Cadiz and Cuba, having on board
three Brieadier Generals for this garrison,
which at present is very large; much to the as
constituent of every enlightened person here,
one of them is black man, who rendered es
senlial services in Peru, but the Captain Gene
raj, no doubt, will not permit him 10 take the
command Of a brigade, even Of the black troops
here's it is even whispered he will be sent back.
The Spanish squadron, consisting of the Guer
zero a, and FIVE very large frigates, were, &C
cording to last accounts, al ST. Jago de Cuba;
they are under the orders of Admiral Laborde,
and it is rumored they are destined for the
Main, Switch if So" will be declared in a
state Of blockade.
AS to our internal situation, all is quiet, and
since the Inst communication of your President on
the subject of the Panama Congress Gas regards
the Islands Of Porto Rico and Cuha) has been re-
ceived, public confidence has entirely been restored
and no dread is entertained q an inOasion-at the
same time, General Wives is actively employed
in placing every department upon the most ef-
hcicnl footing. The Island is divided into four
military divisions, each division commanded by
general officer of known talents and expert
ence; these are again sub-divided into 80 sec:
tons, each under the orders of tried officer;
troops have been sent from here to fill up the
different posts, and no country assert, presents
at this moment so military and secure a state
Of defence. The amount OF troops a: present
in the whole Island may be calculated at $4,000
men. =
We have frigate and briggs of'war in the
harbour, which, with the squadron at Cuba,
composes the Spanish nvaal force in those seas
1t requires large sum to maintain so very
large force, and am of opinion, the Intend
ant will have 20 lay on heavier taxes, which will
be very impolitic, as the people of this country,
| like all others, are not very great friends to
high taxation.
