The /. brings rs advices dated 23d March, from
highly respectable correspondents in ST. Jago de
Cuba. stating that the Captain General, Canedo had
caused Mr. Menendez Arrange, the First Acalde OF
the district of ST. Jago to be confined in the dun
geons of the Moro Castle. 1t is doubtless fresh in
the recollection of our readers, that two three
months ago a merchant of St. Jago, OF high stand
ing British subject Mr. Philip Boylan, was ordered
at moments notice to quit the country, and at the
same time possession was taken of his property by
the rufiian sodiery Of the government Mr.. Boylan,
naturally wishing to appeal to the generous Captain
General, obtained from Sr. Arrange, the officer in
question, letter or something of the kind, that he
Mr.. b. was quiet, peaceable citizen, highly re-
spectacle business man, mindng his own business,
and in no way meddng with the excitement of
politics; for doing which sr. arrange has met the
wretched fate described at the hands of authorities
whose infatuation is fast hurying decided crisis
in the affairs of that unfortunate island.
We learn by the Isabel that the British war
steamer Devastation had fred into the American
bark Harriet, boarded and searched her. We give
the particulars in another column.
The only news of interest namely-the pardon
Of the political prisoners under the scahod-
has been anticipated by telegfaphic despatch
few days since. The following is translation Of
the address Of the Captan-Gener announcing his
clemency. The names Of the prisoners alluded to
were published in the HERALD of the 22d March =
HABAsERos-Your common applications titled TO

Without it without the certainty which possess of the

A correspondent from Puerto Principe, to the
Diario de laMarina, states that the appearance Of
the cholera at twenyfour leagues from that city, had
occasioned great terror among the inhabitants, but
that, provdenaly, it did not reach the city, buthad
taken a contrary route and disappeared Smallpox
was, however, raging at Puerto Principe
The Diario of the 9TH publishes letter from it's
New York correspondent, Peter Hicks, in which the
following paragraph concerning Senator Soule, APP
pears
The diplomatic nomination of Mr. slidel, as Minister
10 Central America leads to the BELIEF that Mr. Pierre
Soue will not Minister to Madrid and this explains
why the partsans of this demagegue csy out against
that nomination 1t ia said that Louisiana should
furnish diplomatists A have spoken of Mr. Soule
should tell you that he is at present i'll in Washington
illness with which he is to day afflicted has tormented
hip very much on other occasions Under the influence
OF this affection doubtless Mr. Soue pronounce the
trayagant speeches Of which you aware.
On the same subject the same correspondent says
in a letter published on the I'd =
Many think that the nomination of Mr.. Soue to repre-
sent tins country at the Court of Spain would ne
travagaDce For this mission is needed man Of judg.
Dent Of weight and Of steady mind, and not an ncon
siderate person like the Senator of 10 uisiana
| We have seen private letter from Havana which
states that the political prisoners pardoned as above
were two, namely Con zalez Alvarez, gentleman O
some sixty years Of age and Carlos del Cristo young
man The latter exhibited proofs OF great courage AMI
boldnes in his conduct at the scaod-the intention OF
the Captain General having been in the most cruelty re-
fined manner, concealed from the prisoners until the
very last moment The population much neensed at
this outrage on humanity, and il stated that
the Captain General had received price for his cleency
This i not very probable however as the sum necessary
to buy over his EXcelency would have been far more
than sufficient TO corrupt the gaolers facilitate their
escape.
The same letter states that the Captain General had
received information of landing Of negroes at Maanzas
and awaiting himself OF the opportunity prove the sin
certify his in nations to put down the traffic he had
imprs oned the merchant owners, Baro, Agnabee and
Casana The vessel burned and the negroes to
the negbboring plantations These have caused
much excitement among the regular slave traders and
great deal of dissatisfaction expressed by at the
deceptive and pusilanioous conduct of Gen. Canedo.
