am informed that the Marquis Pezuela is much
perplexed in making appointments, that his conf
dence Is continually abused-both in and out Of the
palace. The officers and sailors Of the brig "Grey
Eagle" have been disposed Of, so that there is no
danger Of their being found to interrupt the
of Spanish justice. The last intelligence which We
look for confirmation Of by this steamer has caused
immense sensation-blighting the hopes OF the
creoles, who do not comprehend their own interests
or those of the United States, in the question IN
course of solution; and encouraging those who are
trembling in fear Of the loss Of their eld for the
harvest of plumber. The settlement Of the eastern
question. which il now confidently anticipated, will
be no reason why the United States should deviate
from her reasonable and Just demands for redress OF
grievances and restitution for the infinite robberies
Of Cuban pirate chiefs and subaterns Nor will give
the right to England or France to intervene in the
matter in any way, unless invited by both parties
for friendly adjustment of the difficulties between
Them and, should they do so, they will find that It
will make no difference, while it may have the good
effect to heal all dissension, and establish beyond
doubt the permaDency of the Union of your people.
Our speculation upon prospective events is pro-
badly as idle as that of those who know something
more of the premonitiye causes aud in the political
balances of the world will not weigh feather; but,
then, with the feather--not white with Pezuea--
we claim the right to be heard as an integral part
of nothing-or, mean, the Spanish realm, which
derive from the palace mathematician and will not
be held responsible for ruinOus quantities.

destination. She was lost OF Cape San

were treated with great kindness by the Spanish

take the steamer Philadelphia. They were pro.
vided with many articles Of necessity-havng saved
nothing but the clothes which they had on when
the steamer sunk.

hours before the mate, and they we're near to each

Having made Cape San Antonio on the 4th, they
were furnished with food by fshermen In that
vicinity, and they coasted along until they reached
the anchorage OF the Habanera, receiving az much

General directed their immediate transfer to the
care Of the American Consul, which was good deal
better than putting them in prison to wait their
trial for, being wrecked upon Spar ish domain, az

their countless plans to defeat British pocydefeat

At the island Of Cortez, the infamous Diaz has
received another cargo Of negroes-over five hun
dred and ffty-of which he has reported to the
authorities as captured, one hundred, and one or
two which he selected from the lot on account of
age or inHrmity, that rendered them worthless for
the present; while, If under the paternal care of
the government any should recover he expects the
preference to take them as apprentices. The
balance OF the lot It s supposed were registered be-
fore they were landed.
The vessel that brought them has been burned to
the waters edge and sunk, near the hull Of the
American bark Jasper.

No matter how sincere or active Gen. Pezuela may
be, or his officers, where the whole people combine
against them, IL viii be impossible to close the slave
trade. There are certain districts, which, from

The sickness among soldiers and sailors continues
without abatement. The doctors seem to be defeated
by the nbustero tendencies of the disease, much
as Gen. Pezuela il with the slave traders Many
American seamen have died In the past week, which
is owing good deal to the want of prudence on
the part of the captains of our merchant vessels,

Others pretend to treat them themselves, and when
they find they fail, they pursue the same course

been sacrificed by ignorance and carelessness in this
