OF British steamer II appears that the brig Manzoni,
Captain Coson had arrived at that port from Cardcnas
Cuba, after passage Of twelve days.

The Engisman tried to pass himself or as one OF her

with guns and ammunition for Sccessia. At the last

Taking these facts into consideration with those re-
