Court of Justice-Advocates Office belonging to Don

Any body reading the foregoing would, from the
wording Of the notice naturally enough conclude that
the 700 negroes referred to having been landed at
Ortgosa had been brought to this island in the little
schooner Casualidad; but, upon second thought, it
would strike any sensible person, how on earth it
could be possible to bring 700 negroes all the way
from Africa to this island in q schooner? No such
thing those negroes never were brought to Origosa
in the Casualdad, and the foregoing government
notice is nothing more nor less than an audacious
attempt to hoodwink and deceive honest people,
into belief that the Captain General is in earnest in
his intentions to put al end to the slave trade which
he pretends is to be done by publishing ridiculous
notices like the foregoing inviting the guilty ones to
present themselves within many days at the pub
lie Jail, to hear their sentences pronounced idea
as little likely to be complied with the part Of the
slave traders as it was intended it should be by the
Spanish official who issued the decree.
The schooner Casualidad, lately the Cora has
been q very successful SLAYER. Not long ago she
landed cargo of nearly 300 negroes at or near
Sagua lie Grande; the Decentralization OF the slaves
having been safely effected, time also given by
the authorities for the materials stores &C.. to be
removed and then it was she was seized by them,
when, doubtless, much merit was made Of the cir
cumstance that this useless vessel-for the owners
abandoned her as worthless, too bad even to risk
another expedition to the coast-had been captured
in consequence of the stringent orders he General
Canedo,) had issued to put down the illicit traffic.
The landing OF the 700 slaves at Orgosa, referred
q
much more recent occasion and all the circum-
stances attending their Decentralization were fully
reported to you at the time, so that the shallow
dodge attempted in the government notice publish
ed in the Didrio de Ia Marina every day since the
sth instant is clearly exposed, it being intended
to hoodwink and deceive those who may not be &C
customed to Spanish trickery.
The following is a synopsis Of this case A short
time ago large bark formerly the American vessel
Parodi, arrived at Ortigosa with 700 slaves from
Africa consigned to the house OF General Canedos
most intimate friend, Don Joaquino Gomez. OF these
700 Don N. Bustamente bought 1879, and took them
purchased for the account of her Majesty Queen
Christina, by her agent here, his Excellency
Don Antonio Parejo, who, accompanied by
large party OF armed men, in person proceeded
with his, or hers-as you like-newly purchased ne
groes, to potrero near San Antonio where the ne
groes to be placed for the time being for the
purpose of becoming acclimated. But it is scarcely
worth while now again to enter into all the particu
lars of an affair already pasSe, when there are SO
many new cases Of the same kind to engage our at
tention.
i confirm in toto the detailed accounts Of the
recent dsembaIkations of slaves, effected with the
thorities at San Juan de los Remedies, Bsilen,
Mariel, District of Cienfuegos, Ensenada de Cochi-
nos, Rio Zsza Trinidad, and near Sagua. Many
vessels daily expected to arrive from the coast Of
Africa, and Notwithstanding that the Spanish
government have, according to the reports in the
London Times, completely succeeded in binding the
English minister at Madrid into a belief that they
and General Canedo ere in earnest in wishing to put
down the horrible traffic in Cuba it has never been
carried on to such an extent as is at this present
moment.
The crews of the shaving vessels walk about the
streets of Havana with their pockets full of gold and
openly boast Of their having lodged the English
cruisers, whilst the captains and mates are con-
sderately accommodated with passages to Spain on
board Her Majesty's steamers.
OF the ,l60 landed from the Lady Suffolk nearly
r00 ueyo cbaee bv fhp off tho Gan
Barbara in the district of Villa Clara, where they
are now to be found. Per Empire City shall write
more fully. In the meantime remain, &c.
P, s-The mails per Empire, City had barely
reached the Post Office here, and some few OF the
letters and newspapers had been delivered, when
aid de camp of General Canedo arrived with
der from his Exceency to deliver the bags of news
papers to the aid de camp, who conveyed them 10
carriage to the Political Secretarys Office, where
they now are.
You must not be surprised that these people should
display such want OF courtesy towards free and
enlightened press; they treat their own-that is to
say, the papers from Spain-with just little
sderation; and il Mr.. Lorenzo del Busto sets apart
side of his Office receptacle of the forbidden
tobe-read American journals, know where there is
another room in this city almost filed to the ceiling
with Cfdm0r Pnbiicos, La Orden, and other Mad
rid and Spanish newspapers, whose political opinions
might lead astray these everfaithful; and 80 they
also are forbidden in common with the other
fhbusteros Of the North. The letters are cut with
III OTueI W dhCtTtalH III any Hup5
from newspapers were enlosed in them. The mer.
chants were mortified in the extreme TO receive their
letters hacked and cut in such an unaccountable
manner.
