Don Joaquin Campusano has been lately suspended
from his Offices Of Island Treasurer, Head OF che Gus
tomHouse OF this city, the Lottery, etc. et, by bis
Excellency the CaptainGeneral for (as Is generally
understood) having written an impertnent letter to
his E1cellency the Captain General, with whom pre-
viously Senior G. had been on terms OF great init
macy.
The statutes OF the Credito Mobiiario are TO be
reformed, instead Of that institution going into
liquidation as was recently reported in this city, and
stated by me in recent letter.
There is a correspondent Of certain American news
papers resident in this city, who, frem jealousy or
some other equally unworthy cause is constantly seek
ing to discover errors in the letters Of his brother
correspondents. Thus find in an Havana letter,
dated 2lst August ulto., published in popular New
York paper, the following remarks -" The story
published in some of the papers Of the South, derived
from etters Of correspondent in this city. with
out foundation. The Drovers and Butchers Bank has
not been forced into liquidation by the Government,
nor does there exist any cause for want of the
idence Of the Government, or the people. The Bank
and beef CATTLE" etc., etc., etc. Before reply to this
attack, trust, Messrs. Editors, that as the word
letters" Is used in it, you will permit me to declare
most solemny that correspond with but one New
Orleans newspaper, your Crescent That am neither
ROUGH AND READY with one paper aud as playful as
an infant with three VS. on string with another.
As to the story" sent you time since respect
ing the Butchers and Drovers Bank, wrote it upon
the very best authority, and am certain a. man
can be of anything Of which he has not the evidence
OF bis own senses, that what wrote you was the
vsry truth. Why the Diurta de la Marina published
an unusually wellwrtten article upon the subject, in
which the statement sent you was fully confirmed
besides which there assuredy was decree issued com
polling the Butchers and Drovers Bank to close it's cat
tie concerns by, il remember Alright the 1st August
and II that decree has not been enforced it is solely
from the goodness Of the feelings Of bis Excellency
the Captain who has not permitted any in
duence, no matter how high is the station Of the per-
son endeavorng to exercise it, to lead him to an act
which be knew would be Of public injury.
AS to there not existing any cause for want of the
confidence Of the Government or the people, who
ever asserted there was such cause did not, 1
am certain but to bring charges against party for
an oense he never committed is too stale trick to
excite my surprise. I guess my brother cores
pondent had better attend to his own letters, or he
may regret driving his Havana CONDUCTORS to an
expose which they would gladly avoid. Let him be
more guarded, too, hereafter to make the nomina.
tive case agree with the verb" matter not beneath
bis high consideration. And above all, pray him to
let your correspondents letters alone. I am but
mortal, and doubtless do sometimes make mistakes,
yet it is not for the want of endeavoring to get at
the truth that these errors occur but from causes
totally beyond my control; and now for little more
news.
