With reference TO the communications which have
been addressed to you hence, aud from st. Jag0 do
Cuba, respecting the outrage recently committed at
the latter place upon Mr.. Philip Boylan British
merchant of the highest responsibility and who has
been established fifteen years at that place during
which long period he has succeeded in obtaining for
himself position Of peculiar eminence in the good
will and estimation of all classes Of the community,
and whose Punishment from that city, Cat the insti
cation of clique, composed Of those who are de acto
the governors Of the province, they having COM
petely gained the upper hand Of General MedinlaO
has caused universal establishment and regret.
/ now enclose to you copy Of the translation Of a
letter which, after much difficulty l obtained from
an intimate friend Of Mr.. Martin GallanO, the gov
eminent political secretary. to whom it was ad-
dressed by Mr.. Arrange, the Supreme Magistrate of
Santiago de Cuba and Eastern province of the
leland. The letter viii speak for itself; and it also
speaks volumes in demonstrating the danger to

tile men who have so unworthily succeeded those
who governed under the administration Of the up
right, honest General Don Jose de la Concha.
THE RTnRST OF I'M REAL AUDEStaA
VINCE or 1uE ISLAND OF CUBA, 10 DON MARTIN GAAANo
POLITICAL sE.RFIARY, HAVANA.
SANTIAGO DE CCBA, Dec. %, 1852
| My DEAR FnnSD-The bearer Is Mr.. Philip Boyan Of
this Commune very honest person. attending exciu
sively to his mercantile Affairs and who, owing to his
steadiness and rreprehensible conduct
hia being st very young, has been able to collect
spectacle capital Notwithstanding his good qualities,
and his having been absent six NOTWITHSTANDING just re
the Of 500 O0O-he finds that they have forced
him to from his domc for political causes; and
this may have resulted from wrong information IL
not being probable at likely that Mr. Boyan should
mix in anything OF the nature OF revolution, since be-
sides his being European possesses considerable inter
ests in the island being moreover Of quiet, c0ncato
ry and respectable character towards the authorities,
recommend him to you very particularly 30 that II Is
in power you may obtain his return to his domc
and avoid in this way the rnn Of his large interests
which viii be unavoidable he is banshed from Cuba
remain, &c, (>igned.) j. M. arrange.
You must bear in mind that the foregoing letter is
from the Supreme Magistrate Of the Eastern province
of Cuba. Mr.. Boyan could not have received higher
testimonial. But this was not the only one. I'M
dersand he came to lay his before the Captain
General at Havana fully provided with similar docu
ments from all the local constituted authorities and
respectable people Of ST. Jago de Cuba. who did not
hesitate representing his case to be fragrant out
rage, ADu uilIbtl h VlCtlm 10 Lue ScdnQalOlS ana
infamous intrigue. You will hardly credit that
the Captain-General Of Cuba would dare, in the
face of such convincing proof Of Mr.. Boylans entire
innocence as to his having in any way made himself
obnoxious TO the government, to confirm the arbi-
trary conduct Of General Mednilla, and yet he has
80 far done so as to send Mr. Boylan his passport to
leave the island That this, and the many other
provoked outrages which have recently been COM
mitted on British subjects residing in Cuba, ia in
talaton for the capture Of Spanish vessels and the
endeavors Of the British cruisers TO interfere with all
those engaged ia the slave trade there cannot be the
slightest doubt; and it now only remains to be seen
how far the English government will permit such
ontrages to be continued upon peaceabe subjects OF
! Her Majesty Queen Victoria residing in Cuba.
There will be great many persons in the United
States happy to learn and it really affords me sin
satisfaction to be able to communicate the first
intelligence that the Belgian Consul at Santiago de
Cuba Mr.. yerbonggeh, who has now been
fined upwards OF two years in fort at that place, the
result of another Infamous and atrocous conspiracy
has at length. mainly, through the direct and
earnest interference Of the upright Judge arrange
been restored to liberty and the lawsuit which had
accumulated to $4,000, been decided against his
caumDiators.
Another piece of information will be also received
well by those who abomnate the horrible traffic in
slaves. ] have Just learned that the slave schooner
Venus il condemned, and sentenced by the Mixed
Court to be broken up and burnt. This result is to
be ascrbed to the fact that the against her
so clear that her abandoned her; and this Is
the same vessel that Luna the Captain Of the Port,
permitted to leave Havana during the night The
Of the other two at the nstgation Of parties
in high places, are defending their cases; and
the probability is that the poor old Marquis de
Esteya, the President of the Mixed Commission,
will not dare to condemn them; and the con
sequence will be difference Of opinion between
/ the British and Spanish judges, which will re-
suit in toss up for an arbitrator who Will decide
with his chief, and, Notwithstanding the palpable
ind fipn trp1 in ,xl,tnI
were engaged both those vessels will be set ut Ii
herty. *"H
