"A correspondent Of the New Orleans Delta,
writing from Havana, states that warlikc
preparations are now vigorously progressing
in that island. The artillery companies have
been sent to the Moro Castle, and guns have
been mounted in the different Notifications
around Havana and the Government has at
last decided upon arming four thousand blacks.
These troops arc to be officered by whites, and
the sergcants are to be whites also. BY this
it would appear that the government cannot
rely upon the Spanish white population for ef.
fectual support, or it may be mere pretence to
form nucleus for a black army to convert
Cuba into an African possession, in case the
government of Spain cannot be maintaned.--
The Queen of Spains amnesty of all political
offenders who may he abroad, with permission
to them to return to Cuba, arc so many prepa-
ratiOns, according to the correspondent of the
Delta, for war; He estimates the forces at
Havana at $4,000.
