have had no disturbances TO mar our pleas
ure During the holyweek il Ia sanctfy il the more
there essassinations rather qusrels and
murders and few robbcries IN the streets By violence
but during the last three days have only heard OF the
dexteriiy of pckpockets and OF obberes committed by
entering hoIres by stealth In regard TO deep crime
Havana must give TIE precedence 20 the large cities
OF the United States and Europe; for instance, In New
Orlesns murders tenlold more numerous than what
they here which TO he accounted for by the
semblece Of great many bad characters in that city,
and their addiction drink TIE native population being
exemplary any in the Union. In regard to Havana,
its pey dsys have passed by in relation 10 assassna
iions The time was when many fourteen corpscs
have been stretched out to be recognized by tleir
friends Foreigners, however do not upbrsid with
the number o the assasnations hut with the manner
in which the murders were committed.
To continue my relation OF the present touching OF our
recent festivities respecting the IL umnstOus, heard
welldressed stranger say in the English language
explanatory Of admiration, Ii is magnificent
and for the crowd the different transparcncies and gor
sights must have appeared beautiful particularly
by that part which is attracted by gilt gingerbread
The diversions passed of with much eclat, and tho
ball given by the Captain General of the best
attended and brilliant have in this place IL
appeared TO that the finest looking OF both were
collected Together on the occasion--an wearing their
best looks and animated by most excellent spirits.
Among the senior foreigners noticed the respectable
figures of the worthy cOnsuls OF the United and Of
Great Britain their tall and dignihed persons making
them conspicuous in the crowd. General Concha was
here and there and everywhere showing attention 10
notice account OF his unexpected removal caused
say by intrigue, his reforms being made the
tensibe motive the part OF the Government for his
recall although some say that arises from his having
trespassed the limits OF his power to a great extent
Whatever may be the reason both native and Spanisrd
express much regret that he should be removed he
of very good heart which may have led to his
misfortune, as consider that in his station
should be governed by the head alone. His family
leaves in the steamer to-day that depart for Cadz and
should his arrive before her departure, he

with his lady and children Besides the recall OF Gen.
! Conchs, Generals Lemery and Manzana have been
removed. The only matter of any con le.a0n t thcr
than what have related is the disturbance which
created the night OF Sunday the 4th inst, ia Casa
Blanca the side of the harbor opp stc to Havana, OF
which perhaps you may have heard but in case you
should not here give You all the particulars IN relation
to the affair that have been able TO pick up IL APP
pears that number of intoxicated sailors the night
indicated at late hour got to fighting among them
selves, and account of the uproar they making
and the lacness Of the hour, they ordered TO
tire 10 their vessels this they did heed but turned
their wrath upon the police, the officers drew their
swords and the sailors retreated toward their vessels
hut stumbling upon heap ofstones, they commenced 10
hurl these at the guardians OF the peace officer
struck by stone the head and stunned the people
turned out and with stones too gave the sailors the
worst of il many of the tars wounGedone, 1t Is
said killed. The mariners took shelter on board OF
their vessels from which some pistols fired; this
reused the indignation Of the people of Casa Blanca,
who began to am themselves with the intention Of
boarding the vessels upon this the police tOreseeing
the saDguiD8ry result of such and being
weak either restrain the people arrest the sailors
in the dark, the Cabannas tor assistance, and
some soldiers sent from the fortress who formed
line along the margin of water to prevent the people
from taking vengeance upon the dsturbers OF their
peace but upon the solders, whom the tara misook
for enemies shower of stones hurled, by which
some were hurt upon this the officer in command
merely ordered his TO retire out OF reach OF this
missile the guard kept up until the morning, when
the guilty men were arrested and are now undergoing
trial which may end in their being sent to prison for
some years. There being nothing more OF interest to
communicate, conclude by saying, adisu
Your very obedient servant, FAITHFUL.
