AND.-HAvANA, December Is, 1S41.-It has long
been matter of regret to the inhabitants of this city,
that on the arrival of nyads 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 a country life, prevent their de-
irving that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect or they compelled to go to
places 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 Tor persons In uencate
state of health
From due consideration Of this want, and of the
great benefit that would be derived by mvalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcent
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
yded for Them the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated his
beautiful coffee estate called the Buefa Esperansd
situated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country so to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive In order to carry out this intention
to the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
long experience of the effects OF tropical climates
could attain, no pains have been spared to form an
establishment, which affords to the invalid, well as
to the healthy vister every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the midest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. The
grounds laid out in the beautiful style of coffee es-
tate comprise about five hundred acres The Buena
Esperaza 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 1t
lies has BEEN from its extreme beauty, termed the
Windsor of Cuba. The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts Indispensable to
nyalids, and of which the buildings of this country
are SO destitute. All the have boarded floors
and glass windows. The establishment is on the
footing of that of private family, of which the guests
form part, making themselves quite at home, and
without being confined to those regulations which are
necessary at hotels. In this establishment the invalid
has it in his power to vary his amusements, by walk
ing in the shady avenues OF mango and palm trees,
riding on horseback or in a volante, or visiting the
neghboring estates, thickly spread through the
populous country A large sugar estate close al

juice, while the surrounding woods furnish amuse-
rnent to the sportsman.
