other night at the Custom House One OF the Cus-
tom House officers compromised himself by having
received box Of merchandise, which, for so much

out the contents through the iron windows Of tho
customs building which contents were to be picked

Gay is this. /. The Spanish flag must be upheld
The Government must be sustained, to tile extent
of a sacrifice of life and property. 3. The planters
must guarantee the payment of all the money
emitted or to be emitted by the Banco Espanol. Tho
drawing up of the project has been committed to tho
hands of Castanon, and it is said that Cen DO
