NEW HAVEN, O00ooor 10
M. Bs.Hsrr:-We have the authority o. Holy
Writ FOR the fact that the devil, cerlain ocea-
saen therein described inserted himself IN the bodies
Ola parcel Of swine, which swine ran down bill
into the sea- and perished and frsm this We come
to the conclusion that Mr.. Devil carried his pigs to
bad market. And now you have the authority, not
oI the scriptures, but Of your humbse servant AND
many other persons OF equal credibty, for the fact
!ha the same devil has lately entered the abolition
lists, and Is now rapidly driving them where they
must, rs party, meet the fate OF the swine. The
parallel between the two cases, well until you
come 10 the catastrophe, and there IT failsor the
pigs We've really valuable, and the devil erred in not
endeavovins to SAGE has be while the abohlonists
are gooa Tor nothing except mischief, and the devil
VIII compensate for much of the evil he has wrought
II ne makes an end of them in this way.
The excitement that had prevailed here or the
subject oil the Africans has nearly subsidized. The
presumptuons folly of Tappan and his coad tutors
was only matter for ridicuie and the progress Of
the blacks IN classical education, under the tuition
oil the theological students, attracting atten-
ton, when the intelligence arrived Yesterday that
a Judge of the Superior Court of the city Of New
York had issued writ for the arrest Of Messrs.
Ruiz and Montez. on the atidavits of some Of the
blacks, and that these gentlemen had been impri
soned ON the process. A strong feeling OF ind gna-
ton pervades the whole community at the outrage.
Even those who had been disposed To sympathise
with the blacks cxclam with voice against this
act OF persecution and revenge. The afiidavits of
these poor devils not entitled 10 the least consi
deration and the men who procured them ought to
be imme diatey indicted for subornation of perjury.
The negroes have no more idea Of the nature Of an
oath than blind man has Of sky blue, and it is very
much to be doubted whether the deponents were at
all aware of the tenor of their aflidavts. At any
rate, II IS sufficiently evident to any who has
anined the blacks, that most of them will testify
oany thing that is wanted to be proved by them.
kimbo, one of those upon whose evidence the pro-
secution against the Spanards is founded, will tell
three ialsehoods per minute for an hour together,
and each one shall contradict the other. On this
point speak from my personal observation -
question in half dozen different ways, in the
breath. kimbo says that Bannah was beaten in the
his wounds are still visible. Bannah as mentioned
IN previous letter, speaks little English, and l.
called at the prison this morning and examined him
carefully and impartially for a long time. He had
evidently been tempered with by the interpreters
from the Buzzard, Of the abolitionsts, for,
on my asking him question or two, he said:
"Me no tell lie-Bannah never tell lie-peope
want me lie for Jinqua, but me lie for nobody
black (and here he described Tappan's Buxzard
Interpreters) want me say Pope foggee me-foggee
Kimbo and foggee oders--but me no say so-never
say white mans hoggee any black mans in de schooner

scars on his shoulders. Banco is the SLAYER who
brought him to HAVANA from Afrca.) Bandu me

man, Fonnee, catch me, and sell to Blanco."
inquired whether Cinsuez or Jinqua ever beat
him.

back were covered with sears). "Faquorna" said

asked him If they had enough TO eat and drink on
board the schooner.
- Plenty for eat, and water plenty for two, tree
days-dere no water enough"

large casks Of water were put board ,L'Amis-

vessel encountered head winds for two three days,
and the voyage in consequence protracted, and

There Is an air Of earnestness and sincerity about
Bannah that is calculated to impress very favor
all, towards him He answers catagorically yes or
no; and shows disposition to evade any question.
How long the abelitionists 10 be permitted TO
practice their impostions on the public remains to
be seen The impression here is however, that they
fraud ard raseality. They may rest assured at any
rate, that any further attempts to abuse the ndul
geRce granted them by the Marshal and Col. PEN
dleton, by pampering the negroes, and thus render

suitable rebuke. II was but two three days since,
