The Stare Trade and rs Ayyangsment-IRe Spec
nLaiors Hard at Work Fioiationo Of Treaties a,,d
tae lPay hey are Managed- Tie case Of William
'Syd'iey Smnh, &C., Sc
Since my last per Black Warrior, we have evi-
dence of the determination oftbe SPECTATORS one
and all, TO continue the outrageous trade in slaves
rom The coast of Africa, in defiance of the sup
presslve action OF the British government, and, IL
need be, Of the Spanish authorities. Instructions
IN conformity with their plans have issued 10 the
different agents and consignees TO establish more
perfectly their exterior observation for the discov-
cry of Savers in the remote o1ing and Don Sal
vador Castro, at Trinidad and Mariana Borel for
the south side, in the vicinity of Trndad--he Rio
ZarZa and other points of the sIsle of Pines
are on the alert. Don Pho Daz, al Bailen who has
managed TO defeat four commissions in succession,
with the instructions OF the captain-genera, is TO
keep ward and watch IN his district, for which he
is considered sufficiently astute without the aid of
younger intelligence Santes and all the holy
fathers of slavery in the vicinity Of Sagua Ia
Grande will preside over Cardenas and the acces-
sibly convenient district 10 the eastward and be-
tween the two places, while San Juan de los Re-
medios will be under the surveillance and charge
of Hypolile Escobal
There are many subordinate pieces of the ma
chnery not quite so well established in fame and
iniquity, that have ther appropriate places, for
conveyance of intelligence, guarding the passes,
consorting with officials of the municipal jursdic-
tion, making bargains for let without hndrance,
and providing transportation, permits, &c. for the
final consumation of introduction. II is presumed
that before dispatches from the captain-genera Of
Cuba reach Trinidad, that the vessel by which the
last six hundred negroes were brought will be on
her outward voyage for The coast from that point,
so that report in due form will be returned that no
such vessel has been there and that no negroes
have been landed upon the coast in that vicinity.
This will make more of the class OF evidence by
which these authorities establish that they are act
ing in good faith, and permitting no violation of
the treaty. As am writing, a gentleman has
called, who states that report has been put in
circulation that the captain-general has ordered
Mr.. William sydney Smith TO leave the island in
three days and that such order, with his passport
was sent him undercover 10 the English consul
This invention is got up by some malignant par
ties, presume, 10 make capital, but for no good
purpose. In answer TO plain question put at the
proper place. am informed that there is no truth
in the story, for which purpose l left my desk
Although | have no personal acquaintance with
the gentleman, know him by the good character
given by many of his friends who rank among the
first people of our best society and have always
felt an interest in his welfare, from the often told
story of his kindness TO American citizens in dis
tress. have also been informed that he returns
to Havana as soon as he can accomplish his bus-
ness in England; and what that business might
be. did not take the trouble TO inquire.
