and return foreign productions to us in an easy
manner. Our commerce will spread-our prin-

been taken in constituting us what Providence

the face OF the earth.
Now look at the engraving
INTERESTING FROM CuBA.-By the Catherine,
Capt. Scott, we have received the following intel
ligence, which we consider rather interesting.
The Sobrano, "a, was at Cumberland Harbor,
and the steamer Congress and two war schooners
at St. Jago to be under the orders of the
Governor at st. Jago, for fear of some outbreak
among the troops, symptoms Of which had shown
themselves in the Eastern part Of the island
Four soldiers had been shot for INSTRUMENTATION.
The house of Casamajor had failed for over a
million of money. The impostons of the Gov
eminent had very much increased-a new exac-
ton of seventeen dollars per head all foreigners
had caused much dissatisfaction amongst Them
The French Consul at ST.. Jago had protested, and
threatened the interference of his Government
The American and other Consuls had also taken
somesteps in relation to it.
The difficulties and expense of passing
goods through the Custom House were very
much increased The greedy set of officers
had been doubled. They exerted their ingenuity
to invent causes for fines and forfetures, from
which it had become almost impossible to escape
The unfair tonnage regulations have been rein
forced agains' American vessels, which they no
longer allowed to be remeasured, because thereby
they found difference OF 80 or 40 per Ct. against
them.
This is in part owing to our ridiculous
law of measurement for tonnage: for example,
moderately sharp vessel OF 1000 barrels capacity
will measure about liz Spanish tons-register
about 80 tons English, and lbs American but in
Cuba they class the English and American toge-
Their, and on both demand twenty-three per cent.
additional, to make them equal to Spanish-the
unfairness of which is evident.
According to all accounts from our correspond
ents. the state of affairs in Cuba is getting worse
and worse, and cannot much longer be borne !;
it would seem that only spark is wanting to set
on fire revolution, which sooner or later will
render that siempre feel island independent of her
rapacious mother
Will this independence be followed by annexa-
ton? AS the natives say, Qnien sa6e?
FROM HAYTI.-A report that battle had taken
place between the Haytians and Dominicans, was
prevalent at Aqua when the brig Louisa left,
about the 9th inst, and that several of the Domi-
means were taken prisoners, and the whole party
put to route. The Susan, while lying at that place.
was robbed of her medicine chest, papers, and
money to the amount of So, 1868. The papers
were found several days after, buried near tree,
by one of the crew. Capt. Cornell, her former
MASTER remained sick at Azua
FROM HAVANA The Spanish war schooner
Habanero, eight days from Havana, arrived yes
terday, with dispatches to the Spanish consul,
residing in this city. 1t was reported that Santa
Anna and General Alrnonte were passengers in
her, which caused considerable excitement, and
no little conjecturing, during the day. The
General, at the last accounts, was still at Havana.
