A SLAYER SUNK BY MIsTAKE-AND OTHER
CUBAN MATTERs-A letter dated at Havana, on
the Both Of April last, asserts that the most
alarming revolutionary movement prevails
throughout the Island, and on this account that
government is in state of great excitement.
After stating that Cuhans and Americans are
watched there by the Spanish spies, which
swarm everywhere, the letter goes into the fol-
lowing PARTICULARS
" Several gentlemen three Cuban ladies from
the central part of the Island, priest and some
policemen, had been imprisoned up to that date
A man called Dantes de Oca, charged with being
an agent of General Lopez, was executed after
being tortured in the Spanish fashion SO vile
an action caused great excitement and the deep
est indignation against the captain general, who
allowed not only the unfortunate man to be put
to death after an unfair trial, but tortured him
before the execution, to tear from him the CON
| fession which the prosecuting officer wished for
This excitement became almost an outbreak,
when the people here learned that three Ameri-
can seamen were seized, because they were as
sembled with several Cubans enjoying them
selves in n retired square, and two of those
American sailors died soon after their imprison-
ment, because they were confined by their necks
in the stocks.
"The government here does not know what to
do; all is trepidation, and of course there is
tyranny. This is such, that the very creatures
of the government begin to destroy each other
The 9th of the present month (April) sailed
from Mariel towards the African coast one of
the many vessels which at present are being
fitted out for the slave trade in every port of
this island and the SLAYER, when few hours
out of port, met with the Spanish frigate
Perla, which was looking out to attack any
'piratcaP vessel, as they call that which might
appear there bearing General Lopez and his
brave comrades, and therefore the Perla' had
concealed her flag. The SLAYER, which did not
see any fag supposed her Spanish friend to be
dreadful English foe, and fred upon her.
Then the Perla,' probably thinking the SLAYER
to be the pirate whom, she was looking for be-
gan to fire 80 briskly and powerfully, that in
ten minutes the SLAYER and all her crew were
destroyed and sunk. Nothing of this truly
piratical vessel was saved
"The mistake Of the Perla' was soon known,
and the case was much regretted by the negro
traders and the government, which is making
every exertion to conceal this scandalous fact.
But it is not possible to conceal such thing
because all Havana knows it; and, besides, |
am writing to you about the subject, to circu-
late 1t through the agency Of the free American
press"

nominated for Congress by the Opposition State
Congressional Convention, held at Little Rock.
His political platform is indicated by the fol-
lowing resolution Of convention of his friends:
ResotUed, As as expedient measure, we be-
lieve it to be right for the southern States to
secede-peaceably if possible, forcibly if neces-
sary-and to form Southern Confederacy q to
institute new government, laying its founda-

power in such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their safety and happiness" !" and,

take into consideration the mcans that we
should use to protect our honor and property.
