Letter from q Cuban Exile.


SIR allow myself to hope that you win be good
enough give insertion to the following your valuable
Journal which is eagerly and widely read by those to
whom it is important that should make known the
truth, and stand with my honor intact.
Uniustly banshed from my country by decree dated
April 1851, the authority Of the Captain General Of
Cuba on Jose de Ia Concha two ideas alone occupied
my mind in setting my foot upon this land of liberty
l. To throw light upon the Ubiquitous proceedings
raised the blacklist caumny, which led to my being
borne from vessel to vessel from prison to prison, from
vgo to Cadiz Cadiz to Malaga, Malaga to Almeira Ame
ira TO Carthagena, Carhagena to Alicante, Alicante to
Valencia Valencia to Barcelona Barcelona 70 the Baearc
Isles thence back again to Seville Seville to Madrid Ma
drd to Valladod Vaadold to Soria Sora to Burgo dc
Osma.
2 To prove in the clearest manner the absence Of all
correspondence on my part with parties who have
either from within without agtated the Island Of Cuba
and my MOI participation in the projected Invasion of
IT, for the future have renowned ell hope Of return
ing TO spain it is without having exhausted every
OF there obtaining that justice which was due to
me-notbing less; for injury would bs done to me
were even suspicion to exist that had whilst engaged
in this duty allowed secret silent thought to occupy
my heart of gaining honors ecompenses, which would
but have rendered my misfortune less glorious.
If have lost all hope Of embracing once more upon
my native soil those beings who dearest to my heart
have at least the gladdenng consolation in my exile
to defy persecution by unyeling and barring to view the
abuses the base yenates OF great number Of the civil
functioparies Of my country, who were making shame
less and systematic traffic of Justice and by opposing
with all my energy the force Of despotism without hav
ing consented to PROSTATE myself before tyranny
the purchase of my liberty.
That which in other countries, (shere public
amenabe to public opinion for their acts would have
been at once and for ever deemed virtue has against
been constituted crime and under the pretext Of
beneftting the State, calumniatOrs have
evoked private vengeance against myself
With the greatest calmness and assurance-without o
thought of Contradiction lift my voice in this country
with its free and solid foundations, as have already
raised at the very Of the throne Of Isabel Of Cas-
tile where of her minister's Bertran de Lisp express
ed his perona regret not to be able 70 render me JUS
ms ne @ e ee my y5ss
which will justify this assertion Of mine. At this
ment contented with deporing the nature of the
considerations which of sufficient Importance to
prevent high influence from exercising its authority
for the revolving Of undoubted act Of vengeance.
