MADRID, March %,

HoN DANIEL WEBSTER, SECRETARY OF STATE FOR
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -
sIR-In your despatch of Dee ls last, to the
Hon. DR.. M. Barringer, United States Minister to
Spain, as published in the NEW YORK HERALD, you
led into one or two errors, which beg leave TO
correct.
You say" II is much to be regretted that Mr..
Thrasher has made no communication whatever to
this department respecting the circumstances of his
case SO as to enable us to see what are the precise
grounds of his complaint"
I was arrested at Havana, on the 10Th day of 0c-
tober For the first five days my arrest was merely
honorable detention, but sooner had the semi
monthly steamers left for the United States, than
was thrown into dungeon Of the prison, and
thence transferred to one in the Punta Castle For
sixteen days, or until after the next semIponthly
departure of the steamers, ! was kept in strict
solitary confinement, with utter deprivation of all
communication with the world During this time
it was impossible for me to transmit any informa-
tion to the department.
When was allowed to see my friends, Mr.. Owen,
the American Consul, but lately appointed by the
existing administration came to me, and AS
surcd me that he had laid my case fully before the
Department of state at Washington. During the
time intervening between this and my subsequent
embarkation for Ceuta Mr. Owen occasionally called
at the fortress to sec me- and continually expressed
his great surprise that no communication had come
from the Department Of State in regard TO my case
always assuring me that not only the comnunica-
lions made to him, but several that had been
made in my behalf by my friends, had all been
transmitted 10 the government of the United States
Under these circumstances judged il supcrfuous to
make direct communication to the department,
4 could add nothing to the information already
| before il.
