AND.-HAyANA, December Is, lS4l-It has long
been matter of regret to the inhabitants of this city,
that on the arrival of nvalds from the United States
with letters of introduction it has never been in their
mower to recommend them suitable residence in
the country 1t has therefore been necessary for
such persons, either to take up their abode in the
hotels IN town, where the noise and hustle of crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement OF country life, prevent their de-
Iiyng that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect or they are compelled TO go To
place, in the country where adequate preparations
have been made for receiving them, and where the
apartments, accommodations, and manner Of living,
are in no wise calculated for persons in delicate
state of health.

great benefit that would be derived by lnvads who
seek to regain that health in the mild and beneticent
climate of Cuba if a suitable abode should be pro-
yded for Them the subscriber, medical practitioner

tate, comprise about five hundred acres. The Bhend
Esperdn-a is situated the south side of the island,
and is thus, in great measure, sheltered from the
chilly winds which now and then blow from the north
during the winter months. The district in which IT
lies has been, from its extreme beauty, termed the
Windsor of Cuba. The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts so Indispensable to
nyaids and of which the buildings Of this country
are so destitute All the rooms have boarded floors
