Thursday, the 9th, with the said Don Fulgencio
Llorente; and this last individual also knows who
il the physicianf for the occasion sdieo imrovisado)s
''with mustachios," who present (asistio) for
the period of five hours with the said Don Juan,
persuading him to dismiss the physician l had
called in for him.
From the above, request all Spaniards and others
to strive to ascertain and investigate the mysteries
Of this business, since if what is said is correct the
Senior Llorente merits the blacklist imputations, as
black must be the soul of those who carried into
effect the intrigue referred to.
With the highest consideration and respect, &c.
JOSE MORANTE.
The New York Evening Post states dis
tinctly that the soi-disant Don Juan Rey
had released from the cdrcel of the Ha-
vana Don Cirillo Villaverde, Cuban gen
tleman of much literary fame, now in the
city of New York This Senior Villaverde
is known to be interested in the circula-
ton of La Vevdad-a paper avowedly es-
tablished, in New York, to advocate the
enfranchisement of the Hispano-American
colonies. After his escape, Villaverde
and Senior Tolon, editor of La Verdad,
were sentenced to death, and great efforts
were made to arrest them, and it is said
also the turnkey or Nauero-the Juan Rey
said to have been abducted.
A story is also told by the Post, that, in
the early part of the month of May, no.
tiication was received, by the prominent
Cuban patriots in New York, that the
Spanish Premier, General Narvaez, had
written to the Captain General of Cuba,
General Roncali, to the effect that he con-
sidered 1t Uery strange that, NTH the unlim
ited poaoers and means possessed By Cap
tain General Of Cuba, such a paper as La
Verdad soas alloOed to be published in the
Unite States and the notification was ac-
companied with caution, to the parties
here to whom it was sent, to be on their
guard with reference to the safety of their
persons.
Connected with this statement is an
other affair which wears an air of romance
sufficiently great to make it improbable,
except to those who are familiar with the
policy Of the Spanish Vice-Reys in Mexi-
co and Cuba.
A gentleman named Machin was to the
9Th inst. the agent of La Terdad in New
Orleans, and avowedly engaged in trans
hitting that paper to Havana and other
Cuban ports by every opportunity. Being
in needy circumstances, and an exile both
on account of debt and political opinions,
he supported himself as a tobacconist in
New Orleans.
On the 18th of June, Machin was wait
ed on by Don Fulgencio Llorente, whom
in one of his letters to the publishers of
La Verdad he described as Spanish spy,
and with whom he. had an important con-
versation. The following translation of
Machin's letter we take from the Epening
Post of the 18th, which will best explain
what occurred between Llorente and him
self:
