HAVANA, Tuesday, March 2l, 155i
To answer the first question that the readers of your
columns will mentally ask, in searching for your Ha
yspa correspondence will satisfy them as far can
by giving all the news able in relation to the
of the now famous Black Warrior.
III the fret place unbiased by any unworthy feel
iDgs and after viewing the affair n the most ispis
siorate manner in my mind, il has been aa unPar-
donable outrage committed without any Pro'ocation
Had there been any smuggling or any attempt to de-
fraud the Government should dismiss the case ia
few words but on the part Of the agents of the vessel
there was no intention TO do than they had been
allowed TO do from the commencement of the vessels
VOYAGES to port therefore all hanIs the con-
duct is declared to be most arbitrary and unwaranted
Tie seizure Of the BItsh steamers in your ports has
been mentioned by the interested friends of The Span
iards WHO have desired to Justify them but permit me
10 say that there is room for comparison between
apy case of those steamers and this of the Back
"Warrior."
Tie fact is, that YOU might as well compare these
cases as compare the law and regulations i the ports
Of lie United States, FrsLce and Great Britain with
those If Africa and such semi barbarlc parts 10 say
that there is law in Havana is almost ridiculous as
merely the will Of Governor is regarded in cases 10
which bis attention is called. In most cases, ORA
co s Consulted and ii report be true, one OF D5a''s
pages influential in the steps taken b. Pezurla at
inst in The affair Of the Black Warrior.
In regard to our Custom-HOuse aud It's regulations,
tieTe II much to complain Oi. First smuggling has
been allowed TO great extent secondly, the officers
euployed in examination are men without the proper
hnOwtcge or ability for the office thirdly through
ils defect the honorable merchant IL often charged
GLORIOUS duties while the brlber often gets OIL Win
tie payne ent Of rine iOurtLly our goods are often
kept from us full month in the Customs before they
can be examined causing loss Of interest AM opporta-
mites of selling pass filthy, pershabe goods are often
allowed TO remain board of vessels as the permits to
lard often kept back for various reasons against all
right
The Black Warrior was given up to the Captain on
Nouday afternoon after he had paid TO the Govern
ueIt 5000. There no trial in the case, but the
ccpsaIots attending to tie interests OF the owners,
thought il best to get back the boat, aud trust TO Their
own Government Tor redress. The vessel Is reported
10 be il a lad state ofGlih The touch OF the Spahard
las polluted her The damages must be very great,
and there must also be many more sufferers than the
idle woula imagine. ! hope the Government may
take up tie business in right good earnest IL is no
cCum0n case To overlook it, would be TO encourage
fceIessions from ignorant barbarians
some DAYS since was crodbly informed that 6SJ
negroes had been landed Trinidad, and that they
Lad been captured By Government, or rather by an
officer with lie company, through mistake PROBABLY
as il is said that Morales de Rada the Governor Of the
pe1artment, Lad pocketcd 1000 ounces of gold for
the landing Of these negroes 1t is reported that 6OJ
more have been landed which have not been captured,
50 slould another cargo be safely got on shore the
busress VIII pay wei still Il is much better than
tie lottery faro. or hazard negro that costs ~ IN
Africa here sells for $500
IfId that Brigader jose Macias has been absolyed
from al particI in negro landing IN the district
OF CnfuCcos So it is with all these Spanish Wofthes
who DO evil. The Government always hnds them
Saipts when the sin is not against the Government
tsef Now probably the guilt of this fellow very
strong so much so that witnesses appeared against
him but where there is trial by jury, the wishes OF
the Government must carry the day. Ihst there were
witnesses is conclusive proof that the fellow was
guilty for in this country no one would appear 10
accuse Spanish Governor without good proof The
document in relation 10 this is as follows:
MrLIraRy SEcRET,RY's 0FyIcE.
In the criminal against the Brigader OF Infantry
jose Macias Governor that OF Cenuegos, accused
of abuse in he exercise Of his office sentence has been
pronounced. by which said chief il ebsolved from ali
charges against him and is ordered that the ia
ls paw the and be suspended not having conduct
cd the trial according 10 law and Zines and impnsonsns
shall be imposed on the Notary and sI witnesses VITO
figure in the proceedings
Comuissary has nothing TO fear if he only commits
his outrares upon the public. The Government IN
such cases always acquits It's servants.
Probably You have heard or read that two OF our Oh
Governors ard Captains Generals have lately been
struck off the army list in Spain-O Donnell and Jose
de Copcbs The latter you are aware, garrotei Lopez
for wishing 10 steal this little jewel from the crown oil
isabel and now be himself is exile for medltstlng
tie seizure Of the whole diadem. WHAT strange
pecple these spaniards are The loyal Governor OF
TO-DAY is traitor tomorrow.
Another Spanish saint has been tried for participation
in ,layelspdiIr. one Joaquin Ora Ramirez and &C
Quilted of course. This man was Governor OF Ban
Juan de los Remedies. :.
