HAVANA, March II, 1857.
In reference TO General Serrsns, whose name
mentioned in my last in connection with the active
operstiops of the slsye-dealers have since ssoer
tanned that General COucbs has found suh ,ient
causes to remove SerrsnO from his post, previous
70 doir q which he sent General Manzano to Trini-
dad TO investigate the case. The evidences of his
corrupt management were 80 strong that there
was not single loophole left by which an intimate
friend might be saved. The negroes, however,
were not discovered. / have been informed by
parties cogniZant Of all the facts, that the number
exec ded 4, OOO for each one Of which he received
three ounces, making in the aggregate the hand
some sum of S204 coo, all in the very short space
of six months What can Serrano care for HIS
removal from the command when be has made his
fortune With this sum he can buy crosses and
distinctions sufficient to satisfy the most ambitious
uirit. Why is be- not brought to trial for openly
conniying at the violation Of the treaty. This 10 q
serious question, one which shOud engage the
attention of the English Government. One
day the English Vice CODsul at Trinidad went
to complain to General SerranO that on
a certain sugar estate belonging to Don Juan Be
he would find 400 and odd " Bozales" just landed
from an American brig. The Governor who was
perfectly well aware of the fact pretended not 10
have heard anything about 1t. Having prWateiy
sent orders to have the slaves taken 70 some other
place be returned to his office and told the English
Consul in very angry tone, that BE- was deceived,
and in order 10 convince him OF his error, that be
should accompany him on horseback to the indi-
Gated spot and personally examine the whole estate
The General took his " victim y roundabout way
in order to gain time. When they arrived at the
place all yestges of the negroes had disappeared
The Enelisbman was put out at the way III which
10 ad AT he
rage Gen. Serrano told him, Ny dear Sir. this is
the way you deceive yourselves, and accuse the
"Spanish Government upustly Of nOn-performance
'of the treaty Ii I had not brougbt you heTe, and
Convinced you by ocular demonstration that there
twas no such thing "a slave to be found, you would
have written to your Government, informing them
"of the landing Of Bozsles." II is needless to
say that the Englishmsn returned chop-fallen
man The whole truth has now leaked Out-Ser-
ramos friends being the first to publsh the facts.
The rumored bribery of high officials is still re-
pested, and gradually assumes more direct and
positive form. ! would not like to mention the
Dames, hoping for the credit OF the individuals and
the Government they represent, that 1t Is only an
idle report That there has been the greatest abu.e
committed. no one will pretend TO deny. The
evidence s within reach Of the most skeptcal, aud
ia of such nature that even the officers OF the
Spanish Government tremble at their own impru-
dence. 1t would be well for tle philanthrOplc 80
cieties in England to be vide awake and examine
into this matter. They would be the most likely to
unravel this mystery.
Two more American vessels have sailed from
New -Orleafe for the coast Of Africa. The news
came here by the last steamer. The sers
have now four good places 10 st out--BostOn, New
York, Baltimore and New. Orleans. have heard
that there are four clipper brigs now building IN
Baltimore for the trade. Theee few facts are cum
cieht in Themselves 70 convince all Of your inteu,
gent readers that, though We have pronounce
Slavery piracy, We are in fact the most successful
slaye-deslers, not even excepting the Cubans. He
supply the men and vessels, they the means
Which are most deserving of punishment
Senior Argudin, the protector Of the gres' pan
"Of African immigration. has Just returned rom
Madrid where be vas the object OF mucA attention'
and was kindly received and entertained oy tne
Queen and her satellites, who are supported manly
by the saye-trade Hewss unsuccessful however
in getting his plan through The reason IL evident:
these people are now enjoying the fruits OF their
service in The unholy cause Of seridom, and though
senior Argudin's project left q vide margin Tor the
clandestioe operations Of slayers, De could not
afford 10 pay 30 well as they do. The respectable
houses who have been supplying as with chinese
were also disappointed in their claims. Cuba is
almost in a. bad a state IS when that arch-hend,
O'DonneIl governed it. In those times men never
nretsnded 10 use devices TO hide their evil acts but
rsnoie ont boldly. Nov, if you would believe their
ODD the officers Of this Government might be
looked upon as models Of honesty. The facts how.
ever ,ha. will leak out in spite Of all endeayors TO
the contrary, bespeak anything but faithful com
pLspee with tie sacred stlpulstions oftreaties.
