AND.-HAvANA, December Is, lS4l.--lt has lon
been matter of regret to the inhabitants of this city
THAT on the arrival Of nyalds from the United State
with letters of introduction it has been in the
power to recommend them a suitable residence il
the country. 1t has therefore been necessary fo
such persons either to take up their abode in tn,
hotels In town, where the noise and hustle Of crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere an,
calm retirement OF 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 for persons in delicate
state of health.
From due consideration of this want, and of the
great benefit that would be derived by invalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benefcen
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
vided for them, the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated his
beautiful coffee estate called the Bueaa Esperansa
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, wen as
to the healthy vsiter, every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the mldest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. The

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
nyaids, and of which the buildings of this country
are so destitute. All the rooms have boarded floors
and glass windows. The establishment is on the
footing of that of private family, of which the guests
