From Our own Correspondent
HAVANA, June ID, 1c56.
Slice my last l have s-certaIbed that several
careOts Of African negroes have bseo landed near
Sagua la Grande, two OF xhch were disposed of to
a large house 10 this city, 10 arrive, and We're
told by the same the very next day at az advance
of Oh. hundred thousand dollar. Oh their purchase.
The careoes were successtu ly landed, without any
difficulty whatever, and all the slaves d -trout-d
on the neighbOring estates. Some few steps We're
taken by the authorities to discover If the report
war true but when the officers reached the place,
all W sfiees had entirely d. pp-sred as is natural
in similar cases. The bribins having been done
here, aid all difficulties arranged before the
sells WeIt known to be- Oh the c.ast it IL prepos
ferrous to suppose that the bribsd parties would
seD6 down nan who wac not entirety in their in
terest aud pay. 1t is true the price has gone up
considerably lately still the gains are SO
enormous that II must always pay well
for risks incurred. II now costs eight
ounces a head, distributed in this way: three to
the Captain General, two to the chief of the PU-
lic-, one TO the ecclesiastic who bapzes the ini-
dels one 10 the Lieut., nant- Governor Of the Dis
trict where the landing is effected and ~ tie
Captain del Partido, who assists In saving the
negroes and prt venting them from being sto'en by
the begbbOring planters. This heavy bride, to-
geti er with the price OF slave IN Africa expense
Of fitting out the vessel, &c, make negro east
about $500, and they readily fetch $500 on the
coast, making it sill very profitable speculation.
As the majority of the minor employees OF this Gov
eminent do not receive very large salaries, and con-
sist mostly of adytn who have been sent from
Old spain 10 make a fortune, they present no for
lnidable obstacle to the dealers, who generally
malage to buy them. This is sa, ing great deal,
but am sure that hundreds If people in this coun-
try see the same that see every day. Know
several ,oupp men attached TO the different othces
" b. re salary Dies not exceed $2,ooo per ahhum
and yet they live ia the most extravagant style,
keep carriage and horses, give dinner parties aud
play at monte. To keep up all this display tney
must receive heavy brides. Besides, we ali KNOW
that car goes Of African negroes are sun
and none are nO@ captured

How different are the men and the times IN Spain
when these orders were embraced only Dy men
who were actuated with nobl. motives The 0aths
of pov.rty and chastity are still read and sub
scribed TO by the nOyices, but | have always no
ticed that their lips are invariably encircled with
smiles when they repeat the words OF their o,th OF
chastity.
