Zulueta, who also was owner Of the Mariana (Lady
Sutfolk) as well as the cargo of slaves; SO that
there is not the slightest doubt in my mind that
there is as little truth in Consul Vivos statement,
that Judge Sharkey ever had anything to do with
this infamous transaction, that the Lady Suffolk,
or Mary, had been commanded by Captain Smith, or
was ever owned by MIR. Henry West, Of Boston.
An order has just been received here from the su-
preme government, commanding that the Lady Suffolk
be sent to Vera Cruz for adjudication.
