TIE RECALL OF CONCHA.
Correspondence of The London Times.

MADRID, May ~, 1870.
The recall of Gen. C0ncba is still talked of GER
tain although some persons think that the Govern
ncbt may, perhaps, il pursuance OF the cOncliatory
policy announced by Gen. Narvaez avoid dismlssing
him. and await his designations which Is expected as
con- eQuencC of severe COMMUNICATIONS tat nave
be- en- made to him. The time at which his period of
Office in Cuba expires il that peremptorily
to recall him might be taken for an act Of vengeance
provoked by his brothers hostile demonstrations
aqanst the Government. In truth however there are
abundant and valid motives for disuissiDg hun, even
with Disgrace. As you may suppose we are here Kept
niIutcy informed of what goes on IN Cuba by numerous
ettcls aud frequent arrivals from that leland Re
cent accounts give details of the scandalOus man
ner in which Don joe COncba, Marquis OF The
Havana, has encouraged for his: advantage, the
III porfaon Of negroes. In he eaIly days OF tins ms
seto d. command in Cuba he pursued tile slave trade
with extraordinary rgor aud activity. CordOns OF
troops were established all sides and frequent dom
iciliaiy visits were made IN the plantations. When
this vigilance and severity had produced their ei-
ect and that owing TO. the rarity Of the article
the value If negroes had nearly doubled ITSELF
the Captain General suddenly relaxed the rein, and
con1lN ed at importation on condition OF receiving
four ounces per head Of negroes, instead of two,
with which his predecessors had cOnteDted them
selves 1t il estimated that 100000 slaves have been
brought into Cuba during his command there, and
that he has made about SS00000 by the transaction
To this enormous sum must be added ia said Others

ton granted to particular enterprises SO that General
Jote CoIcha, who is noted for bis parsimOny, will re-
tuIn to Europe with pIiDccly fortune. Not being
ON the spot, i of course cannot guarantee the cor
recness OF these particulars but give them 10 you
on tie faith Of accounts from Cuba, trustworthy,
as | believe; and, it may be added, that they
accord with reports long current, with the frequent
complaints lately addressed to the British Government
and through Lord liowdcn, TO that OF SPAN, ana aso
that they seem generally credited here. If they be
true, the sole quality that appeared 10 render Zen
Colcha eligible for the supreme command III Cuba,
namely his probity, melts away and disappears; vi

administrative knowledge, believe he has never been
accused.
In consequence of q rise in the price Of bread and
other nocessares Of life there have been disturbances
in Granada, which appear TO have been serious, al
though the Ministerial press affects to make hight OF
them The P0rlameht0 says that the not was begun
by boys of ten TO fourteen years III age ana that
subsequently, "sOme women assembled, whereupon
the Captain.G General proclaimed martial law, and
adopted other measures. Other accounts agree in
giving the affair more serious aspect 1t appears
that the women insugated the men to take arms ue
clarirg il better TO die fighting than of hunger
The ganisOn turned out, and strong pckets OF
cav airy and infantry patroed the streets The street
lamps ard come windows were broken shots were
fIed, and several persons were wounded Tranquil

In a wdely-circulated foreign newspaper | a
statement that Senior Gonzales Bravo, during his short
residence in London promised the holders OF the cou
pom certificates to get their claims recognized by the
Spanish Cover ment and that Ministers intend short
~ TO submit the question TO the C0rtes. This state
mept is incorrect. 1t will be found that Senior Con
zales Bravo although he may not have thought 1t
necessary to deprive the il-treated creditors of all
hope of settlement does not admit having given any
pledge Of the kind above Indicated. Moreover one OF
the Ministers explicitly declared, few days ago, III
the Cortes that the Government had intention of
bringing forward the question of the coupons. And
the Government did desire TO settle those claims the
way to do it would not be to bring them before the
Cortes which would assuredly reject proposition for
| their adjustment. If anything is contemplated any
tardy measure of justice, it must be done after the
session is over. Then the Cabinet can do pretty much
il peases in such matters and il would certainly be
feather in the cap Of Gen. Narvaez if he conceded
| THAI justice which the Progresistas, while prding
Themselves their probity showed themselves
| lutte not to grant.
The discussion on the Address in the Lower Cham
Der continues but without any feature of particular
interest TO Others than Spaniards. The citing the
2sth stormy. Senior Campoamer stood up for the
liberty of the press and his zeal in its behalf carried
him perhaps rather further than prudent than
bis cooler judgment would have counseed. His speech
excited strong sensation both IN the body OF the
House and in the galleries and he was repeatedly in
tenupted and called 10 order by the President, MART
| de Ia Rosa. He concluded by saying that, com
pared 10 the press all Parliamentary representations
all Senates and Congresses than theaters

10 reply The nurmurs and noise in the galleries
during the early part of his speech were great that
several Deputies demanded that the spectators should

snarlng speeches for which he is famous, and concu
d,d by saying that the Government would not deisn

and contempt here entertained for the present Munster
