HAVANA, July 10, 1853.
The brig o. Perkins of New.York cleared a. this
po,t on the 2th October last for st. Thomas and re-
TUNED on Goth Msy, being reportet as having come
ffCm Campeachy. Reliable information was received
at the United States Consulate in this city that che
ad been TO the coat OF Africa, brought and anoeo
ON this Island cargo of regroes, and tnat was de
seLed she should return to the coast OF Atrcs tor al
other cargo; 20 VIXEN application WAS made ~ the
United States Consulate for her papers IL refused
give them up. On Monday last spsaisrd called
1p, n Thomas Savage esq, acting United States Con
su General endesvOripg 10 induce HIN to give up the
brcs papers. Mr.. Savage replied that he could only
be Induced to give them up by the produ 'ton OF sat-
slactory evidence cOntIadctlDg the ntormshol that
had been previously received at the Consulate
"Wen, Sir replied the Spsniard presenting lsrge
letter to Mr.. Savage, "here is part OF such evi,
depce;' then bidding hssty acios," marched
off in "double quick time:" To the surprise OF
Mr.. Savage on breaking the zeal of the letter, he
found it contained blank sheet Of paper and bank
biz for 81 OeO Drawing the attention Of two gentle
men, who CHANGED to be present. to the TACT OF the
letter having contained the bank bill, MI. savage
FASTENED after the Spsniard but failed TO overake
him. He was, however, sfterward found by the clerk
of the Consulate, who could not induce his return,
though he promised to call there in hall an hour,
which promise of course, was not kept. NeNs morn
ing, little before O'Clock, the o. Perkins keeed
over and sunk in the harbor. Doubtless holes had
been bored in her during the night, and, filling with
water, she sank. The spsnisrd, who thus .gds.
him to swerve from his duty, mistook his man. We,
who are well acquainted with Mr.. Savage. know him
better.
On Monday morning las; We were all thrown into
state of feverish excitement upon learning that Don
Miguel de Embil, the wealthy Creole banker had
been srettsd and thrown into prison. It alarmed q
number Of u.s. because the cause OF the arrest vas not
known and it brought b.ck to memory the recollection
of by gone dsys the events of which would fain
forget. II is q matter Of considerable difficulty to
ascertain here the causes Of the arrest OF man
under such circumstances; indeed, have known IN

ignorance Of the charge preferred against them.
