The attending the arrival and departure
from this port Of Judge Concklin who, his way to
Mexico specially deputed to call at Hayapa to make
inquiries relative to the Crescent City difficulty. have al
ready been fully detailed to you But as some doubt
appears still to exist in the minds Of many Of our coun
rymen the truth Of the report that the Captain
General Of Cuba induced to fescind upon late
sion bis order that the Crescent City should not be al
lowed sprstique, In this harbor long as Purser
Smith appsrtained to her. in consequence of letter
which he had received from Mr. Calderon ia Barca the
Spanish Minister at Washington containing the positive
assurance Of Mr. Acting Secretary Conrad that Purser
Smith would not reurnany to Havana in the Ores
cent and leading the Captain General to infer that
MT Smith would be dismissed the service! That such
letter, from Mr. Calderon Ia Barca containing such
from Mr. Conrad exists and in the hands
Of General Canedo haveit in my power to state posi-
lively true. Moreover Mr. Smith having returned here
from Network in theGrescent City notwithstanding Mr.
Secretary Conrads to the contrary has filled
General Canedo with indignation against the parties at
Washington by whom he openly declares heas been
famously engaado" or deceived But his Excelency
having msde promise to Judge Conckin that eren in
Mr. Smith Captain Porter should arrive In the
vessel he would permit the mails and passengers for Ha-
vaa be landed for this once only the vessel in all
other respects to remain sincommuncado but through
the intervention Of Judge Sharky the latter part of his
Excellencys disposition also rescnded and accord
dngy order to that effect given, that with the
exception oftheprohibtion to Mr. Smith, the ship
admitted to all the rights and privileges which she had
joyed previous to the present difficulty.
Capt Davenport however received few minutes before
leaving the harbor ntmation from the Captain of the
Port that if the Crescent City returned from New Orleans
With Purser Smith board entrance would be denied to
her. Nevertheless the Crescent City did return here from
your port the 18th instant with Mr. Purser Smith on
board and was notwithstanding the threat held out ad
mted precisely the terms that she when she
arrived from New York The Captain General in his ex
plantation to the agents Of the mail steamers giving as

complete until the vessel arrived at New York. according
to the arrangement he had entered into with Judge Con

egn well native and all unanimous in declaring
that the policy of the present Cuban administration is
absurd and ridiculous in the extreme and is more like
chd's play than ought that Is dgnifed or manly 1t is
supposed here that Government will scarcely con-
descend to permit the Crescent City to return to Havana
after the receipt of Mr. Goianos last letter dated the
10th instant copy of which you will receive herewith
We are of opinion that this note which reterates General
Canedos prohibition Of the 4th nsantn which United
