Since my last by the Empire City, we have had
something of the !" tenn est in . teapot" line-a
great deal Of agitation of the small fIy"o u
cety, for reason Of things done and ssme 9th.
er things not done. 10 snt precisely the demands
Of exceeding excelleacy. in small way.
Anc have made 1t a rue to be very much moro
careful Of what say than have been particular
TO run after TO find out what people may say
Of me or my dor g., for which reason have always
avoided dissgrseab.e self reflection. IL is not my
intention. no ver to resd homi]y, or force others
u read for their benent--as they are quito
sufficiently edited by my fats and delneations,
if they will give them little kindly a.
attention. But am led 60 this sort Of cgotist,c in
PRODUCTION by the editor OF the Diario de Ia Marina
upon the subject Of Afrcanizstion, aud BY some.
thing else OF the same sort OF selfcompla ent at
tack and defence from IN unsxpe ted quarter,
which, although not Of Interest to me, couli not
help thinking might have been saved to busaing
ingenuousness had my rule been borne In mind Of
the candidate for --- fortune, perhaps; and may
II he granted him, as he may deserve.
With the common conversation and talk of the
town I have very little to do. and never give it
attention unless 1t comes In confirmation Of thiogs
Of better derivation; wherefore I shall not do
my ears Of personal nature, for the reason that
the action does not spread its ring beyond our
locality, and therefore can find no sympathy or in
terest Ii yours.
As usual with the editor Of Diarso de la Marina,
WHEN devoting himself to grave matters, he mystt
fes 80 much with his dignity and tralscsndental
analysis and disquisiton that it is impossible to tell
wbat his sentiments the integral parts Of his
subject while for The whole it Is Spain and nothing
else always reminding one Of Don Quixotte and Rozf
s1ptn vUist 2onA Hf eOp .Iu~
fcatdn. In the article to which ask your present
attention issue Of yesterday, 30th uit.-.he fault
seems to be in msapplicaton Of terms, and want Of
understanding Of the sn9eG. which ne ase@pss 70
minds here of those who eminAntly int rested
in tbe stability Of good government, and wao are
fearful OF this for the reason that they belle vc the
lolicy guiding il is fraught with evil things, and
that the tendency Of those evils OF such policy
is to render Arcanzation OF necessity, not 0fdesign
on the part of their Spanish rulers, save upon
contingency" that may never occur. They do not
charge the government with maice aforethought,
prey airing Wholesale butchery for them, but they
believe that, bindly following the indications Of
British policy, and sometimes IN eager zeal 70 show
necessity Of self preservation Of the croxn jewels
ut Madrid, having gone far beyond Lord HOwden's
dream, will lead inevitably to such result.
II the government can convince che people
here that England has no interest in the mad
schemes which are being plastered upon the social
ard soitical organization Of Cuba, they will be
niue h mol conteDted.
They have objection to cessation Of the iufa.
nous traffic in Africans, slaves, bat they do OBJ
ject to the equality Of rights, which has been forced
upon them, and all the piteous whining and mscra-
BILE teIgivershticn and contradiction with which the
mater aI interest Is iaterlaried. does not convict
their reason Of her sincerity or Of its propriety.
| They want no marriage justified by law between
themselves and their negroes; they do not like to
their reope they believe it snbversive Of subor
| diDation and the discipline which should mark
the differ ence between the races, which all pre-
vious law has carefully traced and defined ia
way that would be utterly Inconsistent with marital
rites and obligations between the two.
We have also q very important order issued BY
General Pezuels on the 2ssh inst published in the
Marina" Of the 30th. offering indncemsnt for the
apprehension and delivery OF Bozal negroes who
may be concealed in the woods, on account
Of the hot pursuit by the Officers of the munich
pal Jurisdiction, in the vicinity Of places where
landings have been recently effected, which
may possibly be the means of restoring some
of the poor wretches to the doubtful blessings
for males and Sc for women and chilGren to be paid
out Of funds belonging TO the emancipados. It Is re-
presented to the Captain. General that great many
Of these Africans are concealed In the woods BY the
syeculators; that honest planters have refused to
give them hiding and cover upon their estates &c,
which is humbug; the pegroes so reported by sub.
aferns to CO mccall their own participation In crime,
are already in the field at work under registry.
| There may be few now and then n:ealed, wait
| ing q convenient moment for movement to an
estate too mote t. be approached until the whole
line for the night marches n prepared and guarded,
and some Of these may be picked up under the pro.
| visions Of tLis order.
At any rate it seems to illustrate the sincerity Of
tie chic but the consciences Of his agents will not
be easily reached, when the are displayed on
| the other eide.
Business at The close Of the past week has improv-
ed; fIeishts not; sugars more firm with slight ad
vance for select qualities. Molasses scarce; sour
Ito ii rails per 81 gallon kegs. Products Of the
United States in good demand but not at excessive
prices.
