OUR HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. Havana, Oct. 11, 1842. Another Conspiracy Denownced in Pinos del Rio— | Military Commissions— Trouble between the Cap- tain General and his Secretary about the Crescent | ship ever City Affair—Another Insult to the American Flag. The situation of the poor patriots of Cuba is every day more dangerous. The imprisonments A conspiracy has been de- nounced from Matanzas. To morrow a section of the military commission will be gent to that city to inquire into it, and to open the trial Another conspiracy has been denounced in Pinos del Rio, and ancther section of the military commission will be despatched to Vuelta Abaja, with tho samo object. They carry with them Joseph Rives, one of the denouncers, so that he may point out the con- spirators who are known to him. His father is the convict who was in jail, and who made knowa to the Captain General the conspiracy of Pinos del Rio, by which Gonzales and others were brought to | Havana and confined in the castles and fortresses, | where they still remain. The Spaniards hero say, | or rather boast, they have constructed half a dozen | garrotes for these poor fellows. | Zeneral Canedo is on very bad terms with his | secretary, Galiano, on account of the affair of the Crescent City. Galiano has been the counsellor and adviser of the Captain General in this affair, and now he wants to get rid of the General by resigning the secretaryship; but General Canedo has not ac- cepted his resignation. On the contrary, he has | penned him in-a corner, and has told him that | since he was his counsellor and guide in the busi- Galiano’s resignation is owing movements and indignation meetings at New Or- | leans, which are reported here as very numerous ; The Spanish officials are beside themgolves with | terror and bewilderment. They arrest everybody, ' yeung and old, noble and simple, old women and young children; and when they make an arrest, they aro afraid to let the victim out of prison to tell ite secrets. Allthis don’t make us love our doar mother, Spain, any the more. Since they had the panic about the Childe Hurold, sixty pounder, and the innocent hencoops arsenents of six barrelled rifles, they have made themselves ridiculous on board t.e Elizabeth J. Someone told the Captain General that Cept Brooks had suspi- cious and disloyal letters from somebody, or to some- body, extremely dangerous; and forthwith the police rushed on board to discover thom. They locked Caps. Brooks's cabin. He pointed out to them the indig- nity they were offering to tho flag of the United States. They then went ore for fresh orders They were told to make a cloce search, and bring whatever seemed suspicious to the Captain General The police did their best, but could discover no- thing at all, and finally concluded to let Capt. Brooks go. What ho will say to his government, and what his government will say to Spain, about there outrages. is for the future to decide. [Tho Elizabeth J. arrived at Philodelphia onthe Mth inst, but Capt. Brooks makes no report of the above transaction.—Ep.

This being impossiblo, kecause of the high sea, and his proximity to the recks, which were distant only a few yards from his starboard beam, Captain Porter had no other alternative than to proceed up the harbor to his usual anchorage, where he waa speedily followed by the Captain of the Port, who, from his own boat, requested to see the ship's “roll.” That having been handed to him, and observing that Mr. Smith’s name headed the list still, as purser of the ship, he acquainted Captain Porter that his instruction’ from General Canado were, that in case Mr. Smith returned in the vessel, he, the Captain of the Ports was to deny her entrance into the harbor, and thereforo, she must depart within two hours. Against this arbitrary measure, Captain Porter most enor. getically remonstrated, and tendered his protest, which the Captain- General refused to accept. a ever, it was got on shore, and delivered to Acting Consul, Mr. Moreland. '.< The Crescent City entered this harbor about thtee o'clock, P. M., having the mails, and about sixty-five passengers on board, for Havana. During the timo she was hero, the government boats prevented all communication with her, rowing at a respectable distanee around her, so that, with the exception of the Captain of the ‘Port, no other person was por- mitted to approach the vessel, which, to use theic own term, was to all intents and purposes iucom- unicado. At 530 P. M., the Captain of the Port again proceeded alongside the Crescent City, and ordered Captain Porter to proceed to sea forthwith, gengore, and all. Here yon must mit me to indulge somewhat in praise oft gal- lant Porter. Inthe first place, there cannot be aparti- cle of fear in the man. Where is the other who would have ventured fearlessly like him'between those forts, bristling with cannon, with his knowledge of a ople, whose hot-headed stupidity was sencleai ad time been given them, to use that force against an unarmed veseel? The Crescent City, without a pilot, had throadod hor way, in th most scamanlike manner, through the intric: navigation at the head of the bay, much to the admiration of the lookers-on. But nothing could exceed the rapidity of Porter's movements upon re- ceiving tho final order to depart—his getting under weigh was one of the most superb acts of seaman: itneesed in this or any other harbor; and to the astonishment of Senior Luna, (the Captain of the Port,) who sat in his ten oared barge, biting his thumb nails, and the whole Spanish marine, tho Crescent, oi was passing out of the harbor before Luna reacked his office at the end of the wharf, where a multitude of people had assembled to witness the departure of the steamer, which was crowded with passengers. Here, again, Porter pages himself not geo thorough seaman, and an onor to the navy to which ho belongs, but also a man of profound Ei oro because, taking into covsideration the ‘irritating circumstances under which a United States mail steamer, in a time of peace, having the government mails and passengers on board, was being turned out of a friendly pert, doubtless there were many wiid epirits on board his ship burning to make some sort of bravado demonstration in reply to the obszene gesti- culations pantomimed ‘froai the shore, but for tho prudence of Porter, whose ideas wero far too lofty to permit such of disgust tobe manifested by those en board the ship urder his command No notice whatever was taken of the people on shoro. The Crescent City sed ont of the harbor with all the pride aud ignity of offended majosty. As, doubtless, in compliance with the government contract, the Crescent City will retura here on the 14th instant, when force is, I understand, to bo ured to Prevent her ontering the harbor, porliaps it will be interestjng to you to read the government history of the affair, which, after four days of doop Seen on their part, wo were at last, in the columns of the Diario dela Marina, on Thursday morning, favored with the result of their meditations. But ee, having condescended to per- sonalitics with regard to Capt. Porter, in the lattor parts of their manifesto, introducing, for the hun- dreth time, a circumstance with regard to a Fronch shi , inwhich Porter,was charged with having acted with inhumanity, but which he completely refuted at the time, to the eatisfaction of pitas fiche but thore who were prejudiced against him, sach pst- tiners is aaraly worth noticing. But so many acts of barbarous inhumanity may be charged to the local authorities of Cuba, that it may not be out of pla to repeat one ofmany which came to my knowledge lately, at Jamaica. It appears that not very long ago two fishermen, in a boat, not more than four: teen feet keel, had gono out from one of the neighboring islands to fish; but, unfortunate- ly, having been diivon, by a gale of wind, on the coast of Cuba, where they were washed upon the beach, and found almost lifeless, instead of that humanity and kindness which they had a right to expect from the authorities of a friendly nation in anity with their own, they were confined nine months in a fort, at the east end of tho island, be- pot!! On the night of the 9th inst., betwoon midnight and one o'clock, three policemen, headed by the Celadon Francisco Concha, entered tho house of a respectable female, a pensioner of the Count Vil- pureed his only son,) living in the Calle de Ja Ha- vana, No. 5, and after committing the most seanda- Jous outiages in the house of tho defenceless wo man, they took one of them to prison, an American nemed Lucinda, who had ventured to remonsirate here can bero doubt that all these fright- ful acts of oppression, which are of daily oecurrerce, never reach the ¢azs of tho Crp- tain-General, or assuredly a stop would be put to paltry evidenses | solved to behold it henceforth with the sentiment of dirguat which it merits, the curiosity of our domes- tio readers has incited us to employ our tine in investigatin, mianiely the event, and of relating fuithtuby and succinctly ali the points of it. No- body is ignorant that in the anterior v ea of tho Anglo-American steamer Crescent City, a certain obscure n, who is distinguished by the name of Mr. William Smith, inundated the entire pross of New York with notices of what hepponed in our Havana, and of which he had been an eye witness— notices in which falsehood and calumny ran to- gether, und contended for the palm. Without being Very grave, the injury, on account of its consequen- ces, {at least, still offers the scandal of fhe employe of @ company favored by our government with favors commit an insult against the Spanish name, and opagate zmong a public, sufficiently disposed to lieve these fubulous stories which might appear to be authorized by his employers Tn otber casos, mercantile captains to whom similar reports may be attributed, would have the decency of denying, under their signatures, that they aro the adopted, by his silence, these false reports. How obscure soever that individual may be, the absolute impunity of his impudence opened the door to the emulation of bis imitators, among a poople only too much inclined to abuse temperance, and condescen- sion. A feoling of self-respect required that a small proof of displeasure should be exhibited But as good causes do not lore by moderation, our authori- ties will show themeclves as courteous and prudent agit will be possible. They had the right to expel from their territory the petulant author of tacgo notices; but as the company, meanwhile, was not acquainted with that fact, it ceuld not be hoped thut it should remain content, at the return of the steamer, with our watching over the person alluded to, as having acted in tho indisputable uso of his faculties. Moreover, by an energetic, but moderato Official act, they gave notice of their disguas to the company, through the means of the consigness— the only convenient mode of conduct when it treat- ed of a private business—and advised them definite- | ly, that if Mr. W. Smith was returning to our port, as an ernpley 6) the steamer which should conduct him should not be admitted to pra- tigue. Virmness in the subject, and suavity in form, could not have been better reconciled. It may be convenient here to notice that the fuus- tions of a mercantile captain in the steamer Cros- cent City are exorcised yf conieln Porter, of happy memory—who abandoned passengers and the mem- bers of his crew on desert rocks, and who immortal- ized his name, last year, by abandoning on the high seas the French frigate Laura, den; ing an assistance which, according to the common laws of humanity, a sailor would never refuse to his brethren of tho sea; that megnanimous act of philanthropy which Mr. Hebe would in vain attempt to cloak, but that tho refutable testimony of the French captain has re- newed its eplendor in allits beauty. This Captain Porter, who, as captain of a merchant vesse!, under stands, as it is seen, much more of tricks than of laws, may in the United States cast from bis mouth sparks and cinders, but his rashness is confiued here within much more proper limits. But with respect to this epieode, let it be as it may, the steamor al- luded to presented hereelf, on Sunday, at the mouth of our bay, where she received from the Moro the | seasonable signal of stopping, with which she did | not comply, on account ot the bad state of her en- | gine, accoiling to tbe excuse given, and to which we are contented to give full credit. If such aa act of disobedience, nmitted under the capnous of a | fortress, mean’ other mild intention, though qvietly frustrated then, nevertheless, whos bya rigid interpretation of the laws and customs, | he might Lave gaincd other information, it is # small matter that Mr. Porter should not bo dis- suaded from tho path of moderatioa which ho had projected hen the steamer entered, and next | | having 0 J, ho received the correspouding visit to which they have no right, coming gratuitously, to | authors of these falsehoods; but here Mr. Amita | 4 they azo thus described, they afford jus tiflcation fur much of the criticism that haa emana- ted from the press upon the subject At prevent, however, wo are in poreossion of only cx parte representations. Our government have no krowledgo of either of the oases beyond that deriv- ed from the published accounts, which, however ac- curate in their general tenor, sorrocly form satis- factory data for the direction of go rormmental policy. With the view of ascertaining the whole aspact of the affuir, it is understood that Judge Conkling bas been inatructed, during his stay at Havana, to ob- tain a fu)) and authentic statement of the facts con- nected with the proceedings. The country will per- ceive, therefore, that the government are not indif- ferent to the force of tho events, or unmindful of tho they have rendered neocasary, What tien may be called for in the promikes, is a question altogether dependent upon the rosult of the inquiry now authorized OPINIONS OF THECA PTAIN-GENERAL'S OR GAN AT NEW ORLEANS. (From El Pelayo, Octover 8, } The Captain General has done well, for he hag Cone whet his high authority required him to do An American officer (or whatever he be) arrived on beard the Creecent City at Havana ; this officer left errived in New York, aud his principal ment wes, aa en enemy of the Spaniards, to seminate falschoods, with the holy object 0) ridi- culing our government, of calumniating it, &. In consequence of thiz, the superior authority of our island gave notice to the owners of tho line of steau- ships, that ne ship should be admitted which car- ried the said Smith to Havana, and what has boen done in this sffuir is eimply what had been promised. That the Ceptain- General, by giving notics of his intention, acted within his power, 15 & thing which no ore can dount. The stenmers go into Havana free of all hind of duty, which evidently shows the kindness of our authorities, and the protection which it affords to foreign commerce ; but when this is uscd for the plans of our enemies—waen it produces nothing but difficulties, dungers and inconveniences, and it is meant to scorn and sco at the digpo- sitions of our government, this we could not con- ceive, if it teok place elsewhere than in the United States Ard when once our authorities have been right, and were bound to get as they did act, who is re- spoxsible for the consequences to which this may Bive rieo? The owners were notified—the captain of the Crescent City was notified, and now who is wrong? Te pretended that tho Captair have withdrawn his determinati The fool dues not live who cou! government of the island cov done the day before with so tice. When Cevoral Caned ght 7 recessary to deny the entra: { iavaua to Mr. Smith, he knew well what he was doing, and he was well aware that what now engages our attention would occur ; and it isnot to be imagined that ho would have dono what he did to take a step back- wards, ard be laughed at by people who would de- light in it The Governor of our Island is not ono ot those who would be abashed by the protest of the officer of a merchant vessel; avd if this was known or shoula have beon known, for all that has happen- cd, those are to blame who wanted to show a foolish pride, and dangerous vanity. * * * * * * There is not a nation in tho world with which the United States have not had one or more difficulties, * * * * And this proceeds from a ridiculous vanity and despicable amour propre. If there isa difficulty with Austria, it ison eccount of their vani- ty. [certain claims are made ogainst Portugal, it is from an agzuranee of superiority.

The time being endcd, the Crescent City sailed, as she was accus- tomed to gail, from our port, carrying her mails and passengers, and fulfiling the ordinancos of Spanish authority within the domains of Spain. Such is the fact, in allits truth and its nudity. Welcave it now to wheever cau appreciate the good taste and deli- cacy which have been displayed in this matter by a company enjoying such important privileges in our | port, by the gratuitous concession of our govern- ment. As for the prejudives which commerce could have individually eufisred in the prossnt case, and by a coincidence, the interest of the mails, were al- most nothing Jetit be attributed, as we have said, to its true authors, who, by their reiterated pro- vocations, have forced a conduc’ by which then- selves, in the end, will be almost sively injured. As for the question of rig it is as clear ag the iight of the sun at mid-ds At present it is the general practice of all civili naiions, and is in accordance with the explicit text of such writers as have authority in such matters, and who analyze the disposition of all governments, | and their innate and ‘ndisputable facuitios.

He did no’ confine bis enterprise to the sunny South, however, but favored New York with a taste of his quality, as will appoar from the following :— We first heard of Captain Valencia among the aristocracy of Gotha He Joiiged in somo of the marble hails in the vicinicy of Washington square, of the Fifth avenue He rolled leisurely Broadway in the samo chariot with a disti “leader of the ton” from Mobile. With her, visited Newport, Saratoga, and other fashior resorts. He flattered the mothers and fumbled daughters through all the fashionable potkas of the day. Ifhe failed to excite sympathy suflivient for his purpose, ho chewed logwood and ased some “chemical preparation’ which induced @ gues: hemorrhoge of the lungs that nover failed to duce an immense geneation, and to draw both the xxious mothers and their lovely daughters im crowds to his chamber The Captain, moreover, was, according to his owa modest story, ahero of the first water—a Creole Cuban, who had joined the standard of Lopes, and fallen desperately wounded ia the Gight at Cardenas. In proof of bis patriotiam, he would separate his beautiful jot black whiskers, and expose the gouty scar inflicted by the blood thirsty Spaniards. He a8 wound which he had received in one of his thighs, froma carbine Valencia, im short, was the ‘lone star’’ that gilded tho fashion- able horizon, He was wined, and dined, and polka ed, until he became siok and disgusted with the fooleries of Saratoga He accordingly turned his fuce ids West Point. There he made the as- o-ne gallant offivers who had served quaint f in At once our Cuban transformed himself into » Mexican He described minutely the battles of Cerro Gordo, Contreras and Chapultepec ; in all of part. He even persuaded a identical wan that inflicted tho sabre wound whieh came fo near taking off the comely head of our hero. Having thus ingratiated himself with the geatle- men at **the Point,” ho finally obtained letters of introduction to their friends at Watervleit. There ho borrowed some $).500 and decamped. He after- wards became a tenant of the Tombs for a short time, where he amused himself by sending his da- gucrrevtypo likeness to his distinguished i ly friends. Theee much cherished love-tokens were of course “post: marked” anywhere else but at the ‘ Tomba."* Finelly, one worning he slipped through the fingers of the turnkey,” and was off in a hurry teturning to the South, he again sneceeded in meking himself the lion of the fushionable soolety of Mobile, Holly Springs, Charleston, Tallahasso, &e. Hero De Onetro was caressed and courted by everybody. What slaughter he made among the affcctions of the fair Moridians it muy be indelicate to say, or even insinuate, Ourinformant says that he basked in the Jove-light of many a dark eyed, and might have bad the hand of tho loveliest and fairest in matrimony. As Valencia was upon every Jady’s lip at Pasongonla, so De Castro was the only one talked of ia the lard of love and af flowers. One bright morning, as his fortunes approached the venith, ® gentleman who had visited Pascagoula made a flying visit to some friends in Tallatasae, when, lo! he recognized in the bland, gentlemanly exquisite, Do Casto, his accomplished and polite friend, the barber of Vera Cruz, al/as Captain Va- Jexcia, the hero of the hard fought battles of Car- denag and Cervo Gordo The next that was heard of De Castro was his second advent in New York. There he quietly called upon a portion of the very party that ex- yelled bim from their company in Florids, and informed them that he had sesn his friends in Macom and Savannah, and had in his possession letters stating that ho was really a member of the DeCastro family ; that he was a Fons Hea a patriot, and exerything he professed to be. One of the party, who bad become thoroughly acquainted with the facts, called upon him at once ** to produce the documents.” This wasa poser. Our hero was teken by surprise. He had failed ta have the letters pre- pared. Ho hesitated, stammered, and finally said that ho had left them at his hotel, but would call again. Finding that ho was detected, Do Castro left the city, or carefully concealed himself ; at red rate, he could never after be found, What fi hearts have sines then fallen viotima to hie charms, wecannot soy. The last news we have of him is contsined in the paragraph at the hoad of this article. We presume ho has come to the conclasion that as there is little difference between marrying merely for a fortune and stealing one, he might as woll seizo upon the moncy and rely upon his wit to get the wife afterwards.
