AND.-HAvANA, December Is, lS4l.-It has long
been matter of regret TO the inhabitants of this city
at on the arrival of invads from the United States
With letters of introduction, it has never been in their
poWer to recommend them suitable residence in
he 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
ia city and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement of country life, prevent their de-
living that benefit from the change Of climate which
ury naturally expect, or they are compelled to go to
laees in the country where adequate preparations
nave 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 benecen
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 Bueaa Espern-a
situated in the most healthy and romantic part of the
country, to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive. In order to carry out this intention
10 the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
4 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
TO The healthy vsiter, every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the mldest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation The
grounds laid out in the beautiful style of coffee
tate comprise about five hundred acres. The Buena
Espsra.a is situated on the south side of the island,
and is thus, ia great measure sheltered from the
chilly winds which now and then blow from the north
dining 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 indispensable to
nyalids and of which the buildings of this country
are SO destitute All the rooms have boarded floors
md glass windows. The establishment is on the
footing of that of private family, of which the guests
orm part, making themselves quite at home, and
Without being confined to those regulations which are
necessary at hotels In this establishment the invalid
las il in his power to vary his amusements by walk
ING in the shady avenues of mango and palm trees,
riding on horseback or in voante, or visiting the
neghboring estates, 50 thickly spread through the
popuous country. A large sugar estate close at
hand affords an opportunity OF drinking the hot cane
luce while the surrounding woods furnish amuse-
men to the sportsman.
The subscribers numerous family resides constantly
Oh the premises.
The Buena Esperan.a is situated about thirty live
miles southwest of Havana. The route, which
crosses most lovely country, is follows: From
Havana to Bej,lcal fifteen miles on railroad; from
Beuca to Buena Esperanza, twenty miles on car
rage road 1t occupies about five hours. by appll-
cation to the subscriber at his residence in Havana,
No 95 OReilly street the party can be forwarded to
he estate without delay.

known, to bring an introduction from some respect
