er é A i THE CRESC ARRIVAL OF Her Reception at Havana. Epecie! Notice 'o Capt. Davenport Not to Re'urn with Purser Smith. THE PRESIDE *TAL ELECTION IN THE UNITED STATES, &e, Se, ke The American mail steamship Crescent City, Henry K. Davenport, U.8. Navy, commander, (rom New Orleans, via Havana, arrived at Quarantiac about three o'clock yesterday morning Bhe left Havana on the evening of the 16th inst., and hae experienced a euccession of heavy northerly gales. As previously reported, the C. C. arrived off More Oastle on the evening of the 15th, but had to remaia outside till next morning. The Bpanich stoam frigate Isabel Segundo, which ENT CITY | | roe x ) | We saw guarauties which all the civilized world | gr | to cause us the slightest was eruising off Havana, spoke the C. C., and after | learning her name and destination passed on. Upon entering tho harbor, to which no ehjection | was made, the Port Captain came alongside and informed Oapt Davenport that the mails and all the peseengers could land, but that Purser Smith mus! remain on board. Upon Capt. Davenport expressing himself ploased at the termination of the difficulties heretofore ex- isting, the Captain of the Port assured him that it was only for this trip: and should Mr. Smith return in the sbip from New York, no communication with the shore wou'd be allowed. Captain D. expressed his regret at this, and remarked that the difisulty was becoming more complicated by this measurs; ‘and that, although the right to exclude any indi- vidual from the island whem the authorities might mey grin the victory, or what denomination may be defeated in their domestiv contests. But, in default of a system ble of offering all those powerful and desirable aunties, it were un- jaes te deny that there are ever accidental ciroum Btanees mediating to modify the course of eveats Among thove at present, figures in the firet place the character of the men who stand foremost ea the political arena of the connt-y, aud, to = cortuin ex- | tent, lend te the situation the color of the:r ows pe culiar individuality. It is because we took this view, that we always main’ained thes whether General Scott triumphed over General Pierce, or the latter over the former, was not a matter ealoalatid gree of anxiety. As soon as tbe different political cuadidatures began to ac- quire sufficient consistensy to deserve an a'tentive examination, we declared the epiniona whish we entertained of each. In the horlorable character of Mr. Filmore, and in his moderate views, (although he was at times wanting in that energy, which it was almost impossible to expect when we take all the elrcumstances of the ease into gorisideration eatly decired. Th the feeble will of Mr. Webster, ed to indisputable merit, and the prestige name, we found the germ of serious perils, ateeman’s death forbids our repeating. he other candidates, we placad them @ footing, without excepting even soon a3 the to conventious Lon all on the Mr. Douglas, | pated thelr favorites, and the lists were closed to al except Generals Boots aad Pierce, the lariguificance of the result was immediately still wore apparent and still greater men is so slim that we cannot give our preference to either, though upon the whole, the alleged intimacy of Gen. Scots with Mr. Seward and other whigs of the new and restless school, was by no means calcu- iated to predispose in hls favor. The obscurity, too, of Mr. Pierce, whiek induced ur at the very outset to Perel nis triumph, now operates to dsprive him of ali personal influsace of character. The question may be considered with- out injustice, a8 Once more open. Ail those ambi- tions which, in the midst of their mutual conflicts, opened the way to Mr Pieree’s election to the Su- preme Magistracy of the country, will be ones moro | renewed, with equal hostility, when the time shall have ceme for the nomination ot advisers. The in- | fluence then of the new administration, as far aa eontider prejudicial to its tranquillity was no} de- | nied, he could not concode the same to the Captain- | General te prohibit the mails and al) passengers, simply bocause one person on board was obnoxious to hie Exeelleney. ‘To this no reply was made. Capt Davenport was told when he left Havana for New Orleans, on the | outward trip, that the chip would not be permitted to enter the port on her return if Mr Smith came in | character of the men whom he will select as advi- | her, but it seems the Captain General was induced | to change his mind a few days previous to her arri val, in consideration that her voyage would not be completed until her return te New York, and that no change could take place in the officers befure tuat time. On th of sailing, Capt. Davenport re- eeived a note from Messrs. Drake & Co., enclosing acopy of ene to them from Martin Galiano, the Politieal Secretary of the Oaptain-Goneral. The letter, together with one from Capt. Davenport to Moesrs. Drake & Co., we give below:— [TRANSLATION.] Pourticar Becketany’s Orrice, Havana, November 16, 1852. } Notwithetandisg that there remains im fall foree and viger the order of His Excellency the Governor and Ceptain- General, which I eommunicated to you on the pergonal action extends, will only be fixed after the selection ef the members of the cabinet.

Ibeg to call your attention to the Diario de la Marina of the 20th instant, in the editorial of which it is asserted that, as when the treaty of 1795 was celebrated, foreigners were not allowed to trade with, or reside in the island of Cuba, that treaty cannot be considered as embracing said isiaud in its stipulations, and that it cannot be appealed to in the ease of the Crescent City. Tho sapient editor of the Diario will find, on reference to the treaty made at Washington in 1819, for the epecial i a of regulating the traflie with Cuba and Porte Rico, all the articles of the treaty of 1795 (except those already fulfilled) wore renewed and confirmed, and that the first clause repeats th: expression, ‘ without exception of persons or places,” which was used in the first treaty.

The answa the Mintet # the letter, was that Spain had n9 i of abandoning the itl haadecided to pro- teot it with ali her power; that the army of the isiaad | sball be strong amd loyal ; and that @8 for the filldrusierus, the Spanish government dos not fear them. and is pre pared to destioy them whenerer they shall attempt to disturb the peace of the island.

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT OF THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT, Ben, dey dice The Slave Trade in Cuba. [Frem an English paper, Ost. 6 | f Public attention hug been again directed to the in/amous traffic in human beings, which in (ue face of | the most solemn engagements of the Spanish go- yernment is etill, it seoms largely practised by the planters of Cubs. In our own civy, an influential meeting, over which the Lord Provost presided, has been beld this week, for tho purpose of petitioniog the Legisiature to adopt measures for tho enforce- ment of the violated treaties. In the speeches de- livered on this occasion, a dreadful picture drawn of this nefarious species of commerce, ant reselts; yet from @ general view ofthe subject, thera seems lets reason now than formerly to despair of | its ultimate extinetion. Brazil, which has hitherto been the chief slave-importing eounay ig at present, it is believed, honestly exerting herself to bring the | trade to a termination By certain returns which | have been forwarded from trustworthy sources, it is proved that the number of slaves imported into that country, have fallen from between 50,000 and 60,000 | in 1849, to about 3,000 onty in 1851. This desirable | | result bas been accomplished, not so much it seems | | through the ageney of the blockade established by | our cruisers, as by successful negotiations with the | Brazilian government. The vigilance of the Afri- can squadron, however, by rendering the traflic more precarious, and consequently leas profitable | than previouely, may doubtless have induced the authorities of Brazil more readily to comply with | the spirit of those treaties which they formorly vio- lated t0 coolly and go systematically. Be that as it may, it must be admitted that the consummation actually achieved, is in the bigh dogree satisfac- t ory. Tn Cuba, however, matters, by all aecounte, are assuming an aspect decidedly the reverse of that presented by the Brazils. For several years, under the late Governor-General; who seems to have asted with a degree of honesty and liberality remarkable ina Spanish placeman, the importation of slaves declined materially, and sanguine hopes were enter: | tained indeed of e still further decrease. Since the | accession of the new Governor, General Canedo, however, a marked increase in the slave trafic has ailat once occwred. That moat uoprincipled and tyrannical officer is, it seems, at all times prepared (for a consideration of couree) te connive at the vio- lation of the treaties, and as « natural consequence the infamous trade is gradually becoming, under his Sway, more and more vigorous. On the sugar plan- tations of Cuba, the waste of lifs, from excessive labor, is said to be absolutely appalling. Never previously was the value of life at such » low ave- rage. Flesh and blood are therefore in continual | demand, and the highest prices are readily given for tho various human cargoes as they are landed. The merchants can thus well afford to pay a hand- some rolatium to the Governor for the iniquitous | privilege of entering. certain ports unmolested Chirty four dollars per head is understood to be the precent price of official connivance in the Antilles It | is aseerted that at this rate, five hundred negroes were lately landed in one of the Cuban ports, with the full sopelenney and permission of the Governor- General, who, consequently, must have pocketed on this single cargo not Jess a sum than £3,400 ster- ling. ith such a fact before us, we need not won- der that the number of importations into the island has suddenly sprang up frem 3,500 in 1850, to not Jers than 5,000 during the course of 1851. What, then, isthe course which the British go- | | Yernment, under these circumstances, ought to pur- | | eue? After all our expenditure of men and money, | it will be acknowledged that we cannot afford to stand by and permit our endeavors to be thus frus- trated But, independently of that, are we still further to sacrifice the interests of our own Wes! Indian colonies for the sole benefit of those ua- | principled and heartless Spaniaras? or are we to continue crushing slavery in ether quarters that their profits may be increased? Certainly not; and | the sooner that effective measures are adopted | for the suppression of the evil the better. mere blockade of the slave coasts 1s not, it ap- | pears, sugicient. In spite of all our efforts, the | smuggler still prospers Treaties with such a power as Spain are, to all intents and purposes, only 80 much waste paper. It is not to the honesty, | or the philanthropy, but to the fears of | the Spanish government that the appeal must be mede, end the present juncture seems specaiiariy | favorable to euch a movement. The lurid radiance of the ‘Lone Star,” is piling feneny with porten- tous influences to Cubs the ocsasion of the Jeet threatened invasion by Lopez, Spain was faio to appeal for assietance to the governments of Eng: Jand aud France A more serious davger seem: | | now to be impending over the ‘Queen of the An- — iilles ” Let it be definitively understood, then, that | upless the tre: are rigidly adhered to, that un- lees this trafic is utterly and effectually extin- guiebed, and that unless a sufficient guarantee to that effeet is given, Spain must ape on her on resources in the hour of need, or look elsewhere th , to England for the aid she may require. Were this done, there oan be little doubt that the accursed trade in human beings, so far at least as Cuba is corcerned, would very speedily be brought to a ter- mination.

(Hear, bear ) He found the fol- lowing statement in the Times of September 2:— “A correspondent, writing from Havana says—‘That you may not be mistaken with regard to our new aptain-General, I inform you of the fact that about five hundred negroes from Afriea have been landed at Ottigeza, in this island, and that two eunces r head were paid for winking at the busi- nese,” equal to £7 per head, or in all to £3,500 A number of Captains General made large poraonal fortunes by this system of bribery, and the present, Governor is as determined that he should also ob- tain ings largesses; and what was the consequence? le was again active, brisk, and prosperous, if the term prosperity could be applied to such a 5 tem. He saw, from a note in the Aati- Slavery porter, that a vessel had passed and escaped a cruis- ¢r, with 400 slaves on board, and that information had been given to the Governor of Sierra Leone that 2,000 more were ready for embarcation. By private letter from Havana, in Cuba, he learned that there was a demand for goods for the coast of Africa; bat what was the intention ef these goods? It was not to clothe the poor negroes, but to buy them as the price of the negro. The government was drawing a heavy revenue, and the trade, in oo uence, every black imported into Cuba after 30th May 1820, was free—not merely is this justice, but it is law—it is provided by the law of Spain, aud by the treaty of Great Britain. Every man, therefore, en- tering the island after that date, held in bondage, is ao illegally. Then, in order to seoure this treaty, our government made over £400,000 to that go- vernment, for any injury which might result through the operation of the treaty. In defiance te all | this is that system perpetrated. and, he would were the British public to tolerate such ceeding? Think what might have been do the case of Brazil, onr government hay measures, permitting of no alternative but en- forcement of the agreement. Our cruisers are au- thorized, by act of Parliament, passed in 1845, to eapture all slaves undor the Brazilian flag, and, if necessary, the cruisers were authorised to enter the | rivers and seize all vessels carrying slaves, or even such a8 were fitted out for the commerce. Adopt some such syetem in relation to Cuba, and we will | speedily have the same blessed results. (Cheers.) Our government was a little inert on the subject. It had so much todo, it could scarecly attend to this | matter. He hoped they would secure a little atten- ff the British public demanded, thrown down. (Cheers.) He feared the anti- slavery feeling bad been on the wane; now it was re-owakening in its power; and he hoped it would never sleep till slavery was sleeping she sleep of death. (Cheers.) Some had said the ocean had no Sabbaths—yet the ocean had no stagoation. Yes, that sea will have » Sabbath—when no slaver careers upon ite tides, it will hoave with delight, and its waves will leap with joy; andthe hundred shores lashed by its breakers will vibrate with ac- cents of joyous jubilee. (Tremendous cheering, mid which the reverend Doctor resumed his seat.) Bailie Gournay briefly seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation Mr Tuomrson, one of the deputation from Jv meaica, next addressed the audience ia @ specch, for which we regret we cannot find space. Aftar de- roribing the depyessed condition of Jamaica, and reading the petition of the Bishop end clergy of all denominations of the evlony, in reference thereto, the honorable gentleman concluded by calling upon the people of this country to assist in raisiog the interest ofthe West India colonies out of their pre- sept depressed condition, by asking the government to enforce the treaties with Brazil ana Caba Mr. Dunxop, of Craigton, rose to move the seoond resclution, which is as follow: 24, That this meeting. den inbabitauts of our Weet India colonics in the distress to | which they have been subjected, feels convinced that such has been greatly aggravated by the contiauance of | the lave trade. They had heard, he said, that night of the dis- | tress existing in the West Indian colonies, and every one who kuew anything of the state of things | in Jamaica, must bo aware that the statements | they had heard were true, and that distross to a very great extent prevailed in our colonies, which arose chiefly from the changes to which they had been subjected for the last twenty years They heard every day of estates at one time ex- | Eemely produstive end yielding large revenues, now being abandoned altogether, thrown out of ewfivation and allowed to return into their primitive state, because they could be) xo longer conducted with profit. They hoard overy duy of families and individuals, who were formerly in effluent circumstances, being reduced to poverty and dependence, in consequence of the loss sus- tained in the India colonies. Now, this was | & deplorable state of things, and called strongly for | our sympathy Thoee things had boen going on for come yeara, and bad, no doubt, been greatly | aggravated by the slave trade, which enabledtho planters of Cuba snd Brazil to carry on their busi- ess 1D0Fd profitably than by free labor. (Hvar, hear.) | It was surely right tbat our colonies should be pus oa® proper footing in this respsct, s0 as to al'ow thom to compete with the plan‘ers of other cona'ries, and ev ry one prosent must cordially desire to ace the slave trade put anend to. fhey had already hoard that Britain had entered into treaties with Spain, in Teich that coustry was bound to putan eni to slavery ; but, notwithstanding those treatica, the 'y ‘sympathising with the | the connivance of the officials of the Spanish go vernment. (Hear, hear) It war too much the practice of that government to epg: their offi cialis, and allow them compensation fur low salaries in the profit that might acerae from such nefarious treflis, They must all, therefore, unite most oor- Gielly in a desire to do evorything in their power to influence our government, » 1d through it tais coun- try, to put am end forever to this slave trade (Loud epplause ) After como further remarks, the spoaker concluded by moving the revolution. | Mr. Ginob (a member of the deputation) seconded | aling to the indal- getce ofthe mesting, proceeded to sny that whatev- er might be the effect of this meeting on the gov- at least be some consolation to the unfortunate people of that colony which ho represented, to kaow thatthey carried with them the eympathy of that Jarge end inflacntial aesembiage. (Hear, hear ) They bad heard from previous speakers, in terms which be wished he could imitate, of the fearful oon- dition to whieh the island of Jamaica had beoa re- duced, but he would again refer to the sadrject, as a large proportion of the duty falling on him as a do- puty, was to make a public exposition of the true po- | sition of the island atthe present momont (Uheers ) | The history of Jamaica, in connection with she slave | question, avd its general political posicion, must be familiar to every one present; andit was well known that in 1803. Great Britain. seiuated by the highest principles that oonld influence a nation, resolved that slavery snould eoaso in every part of the world in which the British crowa held dominien. Tn exports wore 95,000 bhds of sugar, 35,505 hi of ram, end 16 445,000 lbs of coffee; the total value ef which amoonted to the vory large sam of £2,- 791000 This was the export from Jamaica at tho time of emancipation. The emancipation very seri enaly injured the Picorieters classes of Jamaica at the time, but yet he believed that mot one man in the island regretied the passing of the Hmaneipation Act, or would wish to see one flave set his foot in the island again Aud yet emancipstion had anvibilated @ capital of fire per evot, equal to about 92,000.000 of money. Again, whilst the exports of our West Indian Qolonies have rimained nearly stationary since 1546, those of Cuba, in the same period, have nearly doubled themselver; whilst tho exports of cngar from Ha- | vena ond Matanzas. rite ae for the five years exding 1846, only (69,512 boxes, the avorage ex port trem the tame ports for the five sifvcvoding years, reached 3,027,706 boxesy and if the whole ex- rte of the island wore to be contrasied for these wo several periods, it would show that the total increase was in still Lops? pene, This extra erdinary increaee must have been effected in Cabs & sinee the Britich markets were opened to slave ve: duce, by one of two oxuses, either the existing slave population of Cuba must have been jed on to greatly increased labor, or thas population has been extentively reeruited by new slaves from the coast of America, After ably urging the immediate ne- ceesity of something being speedily done for our 90- lonies, Mr Girod concladed by sveonding the motion amid loud an} Rey. Mr. Gitian, in an eloquent speech, which was frequently spplauded, proposed the third reso- lution, ue follows :— 3.

We cannot avoid again felicitating the country upon the commencement of this work, which no doubt will be the beginning of a new era for Valpa- raiso. Weare also happy to learn that there will be no lack of subscriptions to make up the capital necessary for its completion. This we consider highly important, as denoting » confidence amongst the inhabitants in tho stability of the government. The Spanish journalsof Valparaiso have lately warmly advocated the concersion by corenmnaed of full religious toleration to all religions, and have written seve ery able articles conceived in this mott liberal spirit, of course, much to the satisfac- tion of foreigners. This, however, was of short du- ration, for a letter appeared in a day or two, pur- porting to be signed by a North American, two Ger- mass, and two Frenchmen, addreseed to the editor ofthe Santiago Telegraph, couched in the most threatening language, addressed tothe government, and calculated to alarm and insult every native in- habitant of the country. The appoarance of such a letter naturally produced s profound sensation, Wo have received # number of communications from merchants aud other foreigners, denying the possi- bility of such a letter being genuine—and the mo- ment we peruged the ooimimanicstion in question we pronounced it to be @ forgery, and addressed a let. | citizens paid their respects to him, ine com- plsantary address, to which the General replied ag | follows :— Gentlemen—I am sincerely delighted to see you, ' and to thank you and my countrymen of Previdence, for your manifertation of kindness, and that gener- ous and flattcring interest you are pleased to take | in me.

I love them too muoh to tell them anything but what I believe to be the truth. I never attempt to flatver or deccive them, and my first and last advico to every Irishman is te love the country of his birth and be true te the coun- try of bis adoption—yes. wa ought tobe true te this glorious country. Here we have fair play— here we enjoy the etter. oes of froemen— here we enjoy ‘social and political equality, and it is our duty, and I will add, that it eught te be our politioal religion to think, and speak, and act, in all places, aud upon all occasions, in publie life and private life, in such a way as to preve to America and to the world, that Irishmen are worthy of all © the Diario to that effect, these advantages and privileges, that the eountry ia rh of our doers pe Mhaixeso lees that trusts can rely sees ther hnwavering fidelity The | olication of the Zélevraph was suspended 18 peace and war, and that all they ask and all they by ord. of the government, and has not since been W8Dt from government or people on this bro résumed.

Signor Echeverria, of Santiago, has earned for himeelf the title of the Monte Christo of Chile, from the splendor of a ball lately given by him. It is current that government have determined, as soon as the new custom house stores are finished, to remove all the government offices, as well as the post office, to the old custom house, a very suit- able and convenient /ocale.

He carries with him the eympa'hies and kind wisbes of all classes. The Bishop of Concepcion died suddenly, leaving a large fortune to his heirs. The Congress have had before them several im- | portant meszeures which—the press here complaing | —they have cither neglected or thrown out, much to the prejudice of the interests of the republic, and occupied themselves in passing measures not merely trifling but mischievous Amongst the latter, the imposition of a duty on export of minerals has been carried, with come slight modifications.

We pud- lieh an English translation of tho statutes. Within a short time Vaiparaiso can boast of eight omnibuses, stepping every tem minutes at the most frequented parts of the city Mr. Brown, who jathe proprietor of thess omaibuses, has also or- | dered two eoachea from the United States, to ply between Valparaiso avd Santiago, constructed on tix wheele, with a propeller to drag up and go dowa our steep hills. 4 One ot our principal houses in Valparaise has re- ceived the piano which received the Prise ia the London exhioition The parties ask $2,500 for it, and with the natural love of music which the Chi- lenos possess, are likely to obtain their price.

You all know, I suppose, that Iam a democrat. As such, I heartily rejoiee, ef eourse, in our late glorious political victory. Ido not rejoice over the defeat of Gen Scott.
