AND.-HAvANA, December Is, lS4l.-lt has long
been matter of regret to the inhabitants of this city,
that the arrival of nvalids from the United States
with letters Of introduction il has been in their
power to recommend them suitable residence in
The country. Ii has therefore been necessary for
such persons, either to take up their abode in the
hotels i'll 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-
irving that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect they compelled to go to
places in the country where no 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.
From due consideration of this want, and Of the
great benefit that would be derived by inyalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcen
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
yided for Them the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated his
beautiful coffee estate called the Buena Esperan:a,
situated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country as 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 as well as
the healthy vister, every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the mlldest 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
Esperan:a situated on 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 tins country
are so destitute. All the rooms have boarded floors
