Mr., Eduor-There have been lately several ar.
rivals Of Asiaticos, of which have delayed inform
ing you until was enabled to obtain the number of
deaths on the several passages, and which have
only learned within very few days. | have,
however, made arrangements to he supplied here
after with this information soon after the arrival Of
each ship with Asiaticos.
The American ship Alice Thorndike arrived on
the jth inst from Macao via 81. Helena with 35S
Asiatcos She had two deaths on the passage.
The Spanish ship EnCarnncon arrived on the
18th inst, in los days, from Macao, via st. Helena,
with 296 Asatcos. She had Il deaths on the pas
sage.
The American ship Kate Hooper arrived on the
18th inst, in 90 days from Macao, via St. Helena,
with $50 Asaticos. Only two deaths on the pas
sage.
The American ship Forest Eagle arrived en- the
Goth inst, in l0l days, from Macao, via St. Helena,
with t5S Asaticos. She had . deaths or the pas
sage.
On the 9th, the Spanish ship Maria Clotloe
arrived, in l06 days, from Macao, via ST. Helena,
with 2jG Asiaticos. She had but two deaths on the
passage.
On the 18th inst, the U. s Transport schooner
Urbana. Mr.. Small, commander, and the hired
schooner Horace, of 1SG tons burthen, arrived here
board officers, 100 soldiers, 10 women and %
children and the latter $50 U. 5. soldiers. Never
before have seen men, at least not white men, so
crammed and hacked as thcy.Were on board those
two schooners, more especially those on board the
Horace, which vessel passed very close to, three
or four times during the three or four days she was
at anchor in this harbor. The Z. S. authorities in
Texas must have been in great haste to obey their
orders to send away the L. s. troops from that
State to have embarked 50 large number Of
souls on board Two such small craft.
had hoped, for the sake Of humanity, the L. s.
Consul would have chartered another vessel and
have transhipped portion of the soldiers to her,
to have been conveyed to their destination. But
no 1t was deemed sufficient to send to Key West,
whence, on the 18th, the L. S. steamer SUwonce,
under the command OF Lieut.. Nuncan, arrived here,
to take some of tile unfortunate soldiers to their
destination: but the SuW2nee came too late, after
waiting three or four days in this harbor the two
schOoners sailed for New York. The poet wrote
about Ct mans inhumanity to man :" never had |
before fully realized the signiicaton of those
words. Surely U. s. soldiers are, or ought to be,
Christians; but those unfortunate men, with their
wives and little ones on board the Urbana, must
have been huddled together like pigs on board a
fifty men on board the Horace, schooner OF hun
bred and eighty.siX tons burthen Why the savers
almost afford as much space to their victims.
Had one of your Southern planters 50 transferred
his slaves to Texas-the whole pack Of Black Re-
publicans would have "given tongue and it
would have been cast into your faces for the next
seven years.
We have had visits from the U. S. screw frigate
Niagara, the Crusader and the Huntsville since last
had this pleasure. 1t is reported that Captain
Mckean of the Niagara, went on board vessel in
this harbor from which the flag of the Confederate
States was flying, and compelled her captain to
have it hauled down and to have the stars and
stripes hosted, threatening if this were not done,
he would take the captain on board the Niagara
and put him in the stocks.
The U. S. Consul-General has issued notice
10 mot
of American vessels that hoist the flag Of the Con.
federate States" Thanks to God they need no
such protection just q present here. But are we
not to have Consul from the Confederate States
here soon
The Spanish steamer of war Isabel la Catoica
arrived here from st. Domingo the 23d inst. The
Spanish Admiral returned by her. The Govern
