Good Tlip-Tessels in Port-Santa Anna-lMar-
/ ,lage of the British Consul, &c.
I beg to inform you of my safe arrival from New
York, in the ship Adelaide Captain Adams, after
passage of fifteen and half days; during the voy-
age met with strong southerly winds and squally
weather, and calm the Bahama Banks, on
which we anchored several times, and came from
the Orange Keys here in thirty-two hours, passing
over the Salt Key Bank. The ship had to anchor
little inside the Morros, because the wind was
ahead. cast my eyes towards the Punto, and saw
a soldier sitting on the scafiold, dressed with
white gown and cap, screwed up since the morning
at o'clock, for having killed sergeant while in
state of ntoxication. Before l continue my letter.

been master of vessels since 1923, and am some
what able to Judge whether captain knows and
does his duty or not. More than that, have often
taken passage on different ships, but have never

prudent, knowing how to take advantage of the

the crew were saved, and brought in here by yes
sci which was put in quarantine.

on Sundays. They always have plenty Of money;
living and dressing well, enjoying good health, and
the best climate They have no banks nor insurance
companies; the merchants don't fail, nor the city
catch fire. In the abolitionists may wish to
contradict me- and refer to the late fire at Matanzas,
all have to say on that score is, that only few
frame houses were destroyed, and they took fire by
accident In Massachusetts they can pray, and
groan, from morning till night; they will not prevent
snow falling nor the sun being echpeed by thick
togs, which prevents them drying their goldfish
