AFFAIRS IN CUBA.-We have had within A.
few days. various rumors of outbreaks and
revolutions in Cuba. Subsequent advices from
Havana and from Trinidad, the place IN
which il is stated the trouble originated and
really existed, have been received at this port but
no allusion is made to any disturbance. The &C.
counts from Havana are TO the 10Th, and Trinidad
to the oath ; and, although things appeared quiet
then, there is good reason to anticipate change
in the political and commercial aspect of the
island
The annexed letter, dated Havana, July Is.
gives true and distinct view of the elements ct
the revolution now at work.
eve here in horrid state Some sugars
shipped, but nothing else doing general alarm
ists.confdence is withdrawn. No money TO be had
on the best paper at any rate Of interest No sale To
be made for cash-even lumber sold four and eight
months at very low rates, that indeed the best
goes Of r. lumber have been sold to pay fresht nd
duties only on four months credit No planter pays
centther notes falling due OF necessity re ne we'd
The cause Of this state of things arises from the
OF Europe, and its consequences in tile AFFAIRS,
depression OF our produce in Europe failures there
and in United States, the apprehended dficutiesin
Spain the fear that revolution there will be folio we'd
in France with the cpation our negroes or
that Great Britain may demand it of Spain and she
lead TO the immediate destruction OF the Island
Besides all this there is fevcrsh unea siness
among all the people in anticipation Of evil,
heightened by the discharge of vast number of segar
twisters destitute unprincpled aud ready for any
thing that will give them bread. And lastly there
are great many loud talking light headed people OF
some consideration as to property and fair character
who have excited Others, and probably from some III
arranged and badly-combined plan Of instruction,
with view Of declaring the island independent, and
subsequently TO annex IL to the United States All
these causes operating at once. you easily
sufhoient to produce the trouble existing And
II IS impossible to judge Of the future in the present
state of things, although cannot think Spain II
republic, would cut her throat by em1 ncipating
the slaves. Neither do believe 1t could be done II
she should attempt IT, Great Britain gets her
sent to do t. do not either apprehend utbreak
here Of consequence. The great fuss made about a
few individuals brought from Trinidad here appears
to be nothing than indiscrcet talking
The arrival of the bark Ann Louisa, from Ma
tanzas furnishes few additional items Of intel
ligence. Capt. Wright, of the A. L.. represents
things quiet when he left, but restless and en-
cited feeling among the people was Observable.
The government. alarmed by the evidences dailv
furnished Of the existence of revolutionary
spirit are using precautions to check II as sool ss
shown. The troops under strict disc oine.
and are daily harangued by the various officers
IN glowing and Ioval speeches. The pAy OF thu
