To the Hon. VIM. L. Marcy, Secretary of State:
The undersigned visiters of the Island of Cub,
or residents of Havana aud citizens of the United
State most respectfully but earnestly ask the aten-
ton OF the executive OF our country to the unex-
pected interruption Of our intercourse with home
by the late treatment of the Spanish authorities
towards the American steamer Black Warrior on
her touching at the port of Havana during her pas
sage from Mobile to New York. - IL
This steamer hiss been regularly passing alter.
| nately from the port Of New York to the port OF
Mobile, touching at Havana to land and receive
passengers from either of the above ports for the
last eighteen months and during that time she has
made thirty-siX trips and each trip she has been
visited by the officers of the Spanish government
as she entered the harbor, and without breaking
bulk and without landing or intending to land any
cargo or other thing beside passengers, she has
been allowed to depart from the harbor upon the
payment OF the dues required to be paid steam
er In transu and in ballast, amounting each ar
rival, to about ninety dollars That the steamers
manifest has invariably been made as in ballast as
nothing was intended to be landed in Havana and
the steamer has thus been entered and discharged
enjoying from the government and its officers such
iavors and facilities which the comfy of frendly
nations allow to passenger steamers That such
facilities have been granted without objection and
received with becoming acknowledgment, and with
belief that they would be continued and no COM
mercal regulations disturbed, while the citizens of
both countries would be benefited.
That this transit intercourse was unknown at the
time the friendly treaty was made by the two gov
ernments, and forms subject not contemplated by
that treaty, and which rests upon law which a
kind regard for the spirit of that treaty indicates
and the usage which has become fixed by practice
and assent for period sufficient to establish Gus
tom, which could not have been an article in the
treaty because the whole subject has been created
since the treaty was ratified. That the intercourse
between the two countries has become so establish
ed, and the steamers which regularly perform their
trips so available to the undersigned and others of
their countrymen tor the purpose business health
or pleasure that they would not contemplate
change of policy the part of the Spanish author.
spirit of the treaty which made the two govern
ments friendly nations, and certainly that they
would suffer no interruption in their pursuits and
no embarrassment in their commercial relations
until notice of change of policy should be given
But the undersigned are informed by ]. D. Bullock,
the commander of the steamer, while the course OF
the commander has been uniformly the same in en-
tering and departing from the port of Havana, that
on her last arrival from Mobile the conduct of the
Spanish authorities has been changed toward him
and the steamer without notice and without provo
cation, and that the steamer has been detained in
the port taken possession of by the government Off
cias, and most OF her cargo discharged.
That some OF the undersigned were passengers
on our way from Mobile to New York, some on
board as passengers from this port and some send
ing home letters and Information; but that pur
poses have been all frustrated, and we obliged to
abandon the objects we were pursuing. That In
our Judgment, this sudden interruption to our in
tercourse, which has become important and OF long
standing, demands the prompt interference of our
government, and an explanation and redress from
Her Catholic Majesty the Queen OF SPAIN and there
fore. while we are dwellers in her dominions, we
earnestly yet most respectfully ask the government
under whose protection we left our country, to de-
mand such explanation and redress as shall be sat
