of our country. Two white men have been summa-

the firing of towns and property, and one in Fort
Worth for furnishing slaves with arms for the more

slaves are now under arrest in Ellis and Dallas

SLAVE TRADE IN CUBA.-From Cienfuegoes, un-
der date July 18th, the Philadelphia Press has the
following letter, which shows, very plainly, how
openly the authorities in Cuba connve at the i'm
portation and public sale of African negroes 2:
On the 3Oth of June an American bark landed
45O CongO-riyer negroes at Key Breton, GO miles
to the eastward Of Casilda, port of Trinidad. The
United States steamer Wyandott, came out of Ca
silda the same morning, but did not see her. The
bark was burnt after the cargo was landed. The
cargo was sold the Key for S20l, 900, by the
owner who lost three cargoes within the last year,
and was just about failing. He keeps the most
fashionable cafe in Trinidad.
The slaves were lightered from Key Breton to a
few miles below Casilda, and then landed, marched
to the cars then, and taken up, and publicly sold

landing and SALE and is reported to have received

officials allowing such illegal acts to be so publicly
accomplished, our Government should put an end
to. II we were to join England, it could undoubt-
