Mr.. AIphcnso Hall, gentleman and merchant Of
great esptctability who has resided for many years
at MaDzsnillo, on the south side of this island. has
lattery inhis old age been unfortunate in his spec

which bids fair to exceed the enormous number in
trodueed under the administrations Of O'Donnel
and sAlcoy. Certain parties, largely interested in
this detestable traffic. have recently returned from
Madrid; and no notice whatever being taken by

Marel, it is fair to presume that, Notwithstanding
the soem treaties with Great Britain he has, like
all who have gone before him, received secret in
structions from the Spanish government to promote
