"There has been some discussion, as am in.
formed, between H. B. NJ Consul Genarai at
Havana, and the Captain General of Cuba. in
relation to the matreatment of British subjects by
the Governor OF st. Jago de Cuba, which will not
increase the friendly feelings between the two
powers, that have been interrupted by the strong
evidence obtained, and it is reported that the
frequent violations of the treaty between England
and Spain, for suppression of the slave trade have
been made with high official sanction. The ques
ton 10 also to be brought up to the legal right
of Spain to hold in bondage large portion of the
working material of Cuba, introduced since the
existence of the treaty, and the proceeds of the
stock. This will be a new-ight view, which will

crown Jewel, besides involving belligerent rea-
tons with her best frfends-a friendship which has
been at some cost to her treasury, however
