FROM Our Own Correspondent ,o,.
HAVANA, Tuesday, Dec. %, 1855.
Ihaye obtained positive information OF the diS-
snharkstion of a cargo Of Africans, 42O or 4oo Id
rauber. on the nights of the Goth and 2'tn My
,.s, AZ mort At the mouth Of the harbor oil the
ruh,nas .Ier, there is fort. 1t may appear late
NOW. NJ Christmas, to write about an event that
occurred as long since as May, yet, as am now
Cor the first time in possession of knowledge oil
The manner in which the entire cargo was disposed
Of presume the action will be deemed OF su'fcieht
interest to occupy portion of your valuable space
The Africans were landed from foretopsall
schooner, with white topmast, in small boats'
The schooner was called the Gratia, and was COM
,uspded. | regret 10 add, by an American. a
Standard named Dunblaz was on the estate called
San AuSustin for two weeks previous TO the arrlva
of the schooner waiting for her. San Augustin
the property Of Don Francis Aguirra OF this city
and smother party whose name / have not been
able 70 ascertain The Africans were sold to Don
Louis Amott 1.-THE proprietor of an estate called
Burmales), to Francisco Aguirra and John Agulrra.
The Africans were at first secreted in the noun
fains at the back Of the estate called Manuellta,
which is also the property of the two Aguirras.
Afterward Louis Amiott took his portion to Bur
males, where, FIVE or six weeks since, several OF
them died of cholera. Ten of the Africans were
afferwsrd brought to this city in the schooner
.Junists, and subsequently twelve Others OF the
Africans we're also brought to this city in the
schooner Rosita. These twelve were taken to
Guinness and there sold. At Guinness the authOrl-
ties made some opposition to the sale OF the Atrl-
cans, but all.powerful gold caused this opposition
to be withdrawn.
There is a report in circulation that another
cargo of Africans has been landed somewhere on
the south coast Of this island. Gen. COncha, as
usual, denies the fact, but such denial may be re-
ceiyed for what it is worth.
By a recent order, the children of Emancpa-
dos under fifteen years OF age, are to be provided
with cedulas similar to those suDuled to the
Emancipados themselves, and ale; secyy have
attained the age of fifteen they are to be furnished
with free papers.
The passengers and mails of the Crescent City,
wrecked on Matania Reef at the northwest
point of the Island of Abacoa, in the Gulf of Flor
ida. arrived here on the goth inst. in small vessel
from Nassau, n. p.
Through the influence and intercessiOn Of the
acting United States Consul in this city, Col. Rob
ertson, the two American seamen, Wynn and
Chauncey, will not be placed IN the changing
hut will serve out their term of service in the
Arsenal or Dock-Yard, without any chain or mark
of their degraded position being placed upon their
persons: on the contrary, they will be paid small
rate of wages for their labor. This circumstance
is gratifying to our feelings as citizens of the United
States, the more especially as, from documentary
evidence which have recently SEEM confess the
opinion formerly entertained of their guilt has
been greatly altered. There are yet one or two
circumstances in their case which have not been
satisfactorily explained to me- yet now fully be-
ieye they shipped under the impression they were
about to sail upon perfectly legitimate voyage.
Some half dozen CreOles were suddenly arrested
last week and within forty-eight hours after their
arrest were shipped on board sailing packet
bound to Spain.
A duel was fought last week between two gen.
tlemeD, one named Paroles, the other Villegas,
The latter being dangerously wounded. They
fought with swords The cause of the dispute be-
tween them am not aware Of
Rachel arrived here on the 22d inst in the lsa-
bel from Charleston and will commence in few
evenings at the Tacon Theater.
The weather is truly delightful. A few cool,
wet DAYS have been succeeded by an Italian sky
and balmy air. .
HAVANA, Thursday, Dec. q, 1855.
Taking sail in this beautiful harbor morning
or two ago, my attention was attracted by par
ticularly sharp little schooner, which, to my ex-
perienced eve, bore other unmistakable proofs Of
being intended for the Slave-trade. She is,
should Judge, of about eighty or ninety tuns bur-
den; is low, fiat aud rakish, and has particularly
extensive matches This latter circumstance was
darnning proof of her true character. Nor was
deceived, for have since ascertained that she has
been under the surveillance of the authorities
(British) for the past six weeks and that she will
not be permitted to depart upon her intended in
famous errand. She is called the Negrta. AT or
about the same time that she arrived here from
Spain, there also arrived from Barcelona, If my
memory serves me, brig called the Tres de
Mayo, which was also destined for the Slave
trade but which, through the active iRterpcsition
of the British authorities, was driven into more
legitimate trade. She went from this port TO
New-Orleans where there was still jealous eye
watching her movements, and where she took in
cargj Of cotton and sailed for Barcelona. This
fact viii serve to convince you that, although the
British cruisers are not so fortunate as to succeed
IN c.y ,turinQ the slayers vet the money expended
