less than seven or eight gates, steamers and
brgsofwar without employment in our port, which, Il
used to prevent landings Of negroes, would create an
idea that the CaptainGeneral was in earnest when be
issued bis order against the traffic which idea does not
exist at present account of the brskness OF the bus
mess and the little notice taken of it.
The British Government has discovered that an as
ISOLATION exists in the Brazs prosecuting the trade
having aarge number of partners in Cubs their plan
being TO send vessels from ports in the Brazil 10 the
River Plata there to take in their decks water ana
cargo from which they proceed TO the coast OF Africa
list Of the names OF the individuals here n,orpo-
rated in the association has been given to the Captain
General and it 10 said that the parties are to be Ar
rested and tried butt more than probable that they
will be advised Of their danger and be OFF before the
Governors order for their arrest 10 issued.
About 5000 emancpados are now in the hands OF
Government. Much difficulty s experienced in regard
to their dsposal They refuse to 60 to the country to
be worked to death under the lash and many insist on
their absolute freedom Another difficulty 10 also
perienred as many negroes who have been sold claim
their liberty, through the British Consul, on account
Of having come in the same vessel with "emanci-
"pados." For instance, where landings have been
made in which the Government nterfered half or 90
would be left to the to sell and the rest taken
by Government as emancipados and hired ont. That
kind Of business worked well for the Government
employees, but now their wickedness recos on them
selves and the truthfulness of the assertions of your
correspondents in these parts are made apparent
garded truth, l, upon calm reflection, have no care
Time is the solver Of doubts and to that trust, al
ways having for my motto Davy Crockett's sublime
adage Of Be sure you're right" &c.
For the safety Of the Island it has been thought
necessary to prohibit the circulation of the French pa
per published in your city, styled lie COarrerdes Etats
Lms; an order to that effect was published in the
Gactta this week The French, who depended on it
for the little it contained are enraged at being
deprived of it, although not few consider it a. a
judgment upon its editors for making some offerings TO
desgotism. -, .,n.,;, A..
light from the misds Of their own people, must now
try to deprive US of knowlsdge but the day Is not Ar
distant when this justly detested nation will be driven
from America and confined to the Peninsula, as wild
beasts are in cage, to vent their rage upon each
other, a. they always do when left to themselves.
Another bold stroke is contemplated, which is no
thing less than to prohibit Cubans from leaving the ISL
and except on the condition of not being allowed to re-
turn and nobody lis to teach except spaniards.
II il also intended to restore the building now used
as Government bonding store to the Church VI
course theirs always the fast friend Of despotsm-t
is despotism and darkness tse and puts out the intel
lectusl eyes of its miserable slaves.
As another indication of what our Government is,
some nine men were a few days since arrested at a
place about ten leagues from Cardenas called Bermea,
at the railroad depot suspicion of having been play
ing and on the spot without trial proof were sound
" beaten on their bare backs by the soldiers who &C.
companed the officer by whose commands 1t was done
The sufferers, being white men, went down to Carde-
mas to make complaint but as yet they have had no re-
dress.
There is one more item in regard to our slave popu-
lation which would mention, which is that since the
emancpados have been declared Free the slaves on es
tates have begun show desire for the same fortune
and on some estates beginning to exhibit spirit OF
insubordinaton so that fine chance is open for the
British to work the change which undoubtedly they Will
not allow to escape them. Our Governor appears to
be quite given up to the British and it is more than
probable has come out to execute oil their demand
Without doubt we are approaching crisis which
will effect a great change in Cuba. The island
rH soon be free and Independent, or u be ruined by
the steps that are about to be taken by this Govern
ment. This stand to; so please paste this on
YOUR wall either to give me my credit or to cast me
down as worthless prognostcator.

which has been assembled lately to discuss some mpor
