Our Havana Correspondence: Havana, Deo. 15, 1852. GQpanish Movement to Frustrate American Emigra- tion te St. Domingo— Despatch of a Special Agent from Havana to the Dominican Repub- lic—The Isabella Segunda Seamship Commis- sioned to Intercept the Emigrants—Splendid Party Given by the Officers of the United States Ship Cyane. Immodiately after the Cherokee left the port yoo terday, for Now York, say about 12 noon, the Spa- nish war steamor Isabel Segunda began to fire ep, and at 2.30 she steamed out of the port, on secret mission. Her orders were: to proceed to the Principal port of the Spanish republic of 3t.

S. Bowndary Survey—Vigi- lance of the Mexicans, §c. In my last letter, I wrote you of the affray be- tween E. A. Stephens and Gopher John. Stephens was confined for six days. His chains had been taken off about two days, when he succeeded in making the Mexican guard drunk, and at about one | o’clock at night eseaped from his prison, and swam the Rio Grande, which was a pretty cool operation, as there was a norther blowing at the time. Tho feast and the bull-fights on the Moxican side were finished about a week ago. One man was killed by one ofthe bulls. He was ax old Mexican herder, who was drunk, and ran into the arena, and fell down during the fight. The bull tossed him about twenty-five feet into the air—he landed on his back, and was carried out speechless. He lingered forty-eight hours, and died. One night during the feast, at a fandango, Wild Cat, the Seminole chiof, arrested a negro, whom he ebarged with stealing a horse from his camp, and | was about to try him after the Indian fashion, when | United Btates as are not able, or being able, are net the Mexican officers and their guard interfered, and a fight enmed. Wild Oat and two of his men were knocked down, and Wild Cat’s head was cut badly by ® blow from a musket. He gave a signal to two of his runners, and they started on a lope for the | | associating in the first class of society, can or docs fndian camp to bring down his warriors. The Mex- icana understood the signal, and rang their alarm bell, and by the time the Indians came down all | their force was under arms and their cannon plant- edin the street. The Indians kept up the war | whoep for about two heurs. Every fow minutes Wild Cat would put his hand to his head, and bring it away covered with gore. He would look at it for a minute and shout out, ‘‘My blood!” and thenjump like a buffalo bull. They did not, how- ever, get up a fight, altho ened to burn down their ‘* grass town,” as he ealled it. Should he put his threat into exeoa- tion, it would be im striking contrast to the words, “ Defensores de Mexico,” that are inscribed upon a silver plate that he wears upon his breast. A fow days after this affray, Wild Cat andall his men left for Santa Rosa, where the Moxiean govera- | tent hi assigned him a tract of very fine land. Befere ving, he told me that in a month | or .two he going back to Arkansas, to persuade as many Seminoles and other Indians as he is able to remove from Arkansss to Santa Rosa.

Bo- fore reaching Santa Rosa they encamped for the night about five miles from Wild Cat’s camp, Ia the mcrning Lieutenant Green and five men pushed om in advance of the party. At last, they reached the huts of the negroes belouging to Wild Cat. Several of the blacks ran out, and one old feliow surg out, “Stop dare white dare, de Chief General Wild Cat says you can’t come any further ” After some talk, Wild Cat came up and ordered the Americans back, and said that he had sixty warriors, stripped and painted, hid in the bush ready for fight. . Green replied that he would | | wot go back, and that he had one hundred mon who would rather fight then est. This cooled Wild Cat | a little, and he said that the reason he had stopped them, was tht they had frightened his women and | his blacks, fer they thought that the Americans had come to retake some rupaway negross who were | with Wild Cat. The remainder of the Americans seon came up, and the party pushed on for Santa Rosa. and in a few days arrived without molesta- | tion at Eagle Pass.

Interesting Congressional Proceedings—Election of Supreme Director—Munitions of War. The Congress of Nicaragua, in seoret session, on the 25th ult., passed a decree elevating San Juan into an independent department, (departimiento,) | | with the privilege of exercising its own municipal | authority, and sending two doputies to the Congress. | This decree has not yet been made public, but has | evidently been enacted in contemplation of the pro- { | bability of their regaining possession of this port. | Ido not know exactly on what they base their ex- pectations; but that they have some good ground for it, I have no doubt. Indeed, an eminent Nica- reguan this evening offered me a wagér of five hun- dred dollars, that within two months the flag of Nicaragua shall take the place of that of Mosquito in this town. The elections passed off very quietly, Don Frato Chamorro being chosen supreme director The ad- | herents of Castellon, learning that they were to be | excluded from voting, in accordance with the time honored custom of Nicaragua, of denying that pri- vilege to all opposed tothe powers that be, remain- ed away from the polls go as to have some justifica- tion for ereating @ revolution in the inaugural month of Javuary.

I do not think that any youn, ntle- man living here, either for business or pen and live for less. . T suppose that double the sum I expend—that is, seven thousand dollars s year—is the very lowest amount for which a diplematio agent of any grade could live in this city, as a gentleman of such rank should live, having a medium sized family, ing a reepectable house in the best part est of the city, with appropriate furniture, a carriage and single epan of horses, and observing in all things aa economy as could possibly be practised, thout incurring the imputation of meanness, which, however it might be despised by a private affeots the influence of an official one in these countries. But as I take your object and that of the Senate to be rather to know what ought to be allowed tha: how little can be got along upon, I havo requested | | some American gentlemen, old residents and mon of | the highest standing, to make a statemont for me, | I have no intimation whatever of the opinion of any | one of them as yet. As soon astheir report is made | to me I will inclose it with this depateh | There is another point comprehended, I suppose, in the range of the inquiry of the Senate, on which | Ican speak with more confidence; for the reason | that having resided officially at two of the courts. and having been very well woquainted with several | others in South America, I havo had more thau or. dinary opportunities to ferm @ oorrest epinion. I think that the nominal rank of the mission is of the highest importance at all these courts A minister plenipotontiary or minister resident has, at any court of South America, being m: a decent man, more influence (the mere evidence of his official rank) than any degree whatever of talent yr address can insure for any man of the grade ef charge ; and therefore I hold it to be more impor tant to elev te the grade than to increase the saia- | Ty ; for if Congross continue the poly of oompell- | ing all the diplomatic agents of the government of | the United States to live upen their own means, or to live so merely to be the subjects of unpleasant criticism, it ia still, in my opinion, better for the public interest that the grade be raised, as the governmeat can mueh more easily find men with | money than with talents and learning; and it is hardly possivle to find one so low in intellect as not to be able, with the advantage of rank, to be more useful in these South American courts than charges, be their intelligence, address or vigilance, what it may. The English government understands this per- fectly, and bas profited and is prefiting by conti- nuing to keep its ministers always in a position of precedence. 2 | At this court it has during the whole period of the Argentine Confederation kept # minister ploni- | potentiary with a liberal salary, and has for the whole time not influenced, but controlled, the ad- ministration. Having made 9 most favorable and perpotual treaty, she has just now changed her mission wish- ep anging its position, for the point of precodencs stili kept. The ‘new diplomat is chargé d’affeires and censul- general, with @ salary in his first character of two thonsand three hundred pounds sterling, and in all not less than sixteen or seventeen thousand dollars per annum. ‘ A minister resident would rank him, and this, | with a respectable compensation, would be the appro- | | priate arrangement for this court, as also for Chili | and Peru. * * ® I * * * * * Ihave the honor to be, very reapectfully, Your obedient servant, Joon S Prxpieton.

Luxurious food of every kind is much dearer here. The wages of servants are less than in the United States; but an American servant does the work of two Swedish, and therefore the expenses are about the same.

Daring the past year the namber of vessels that have struck on the dangerous reefs of this const is only twenty-two, which is thus accounted for. The number of vessels that have strack on the Tortugas Shoals for seven years, has been aot leas than twenty: eight—during the past year only two, gud ope of them was blown ashore in the hurricane of the 22d of August last. The light is now good and very well kept. The light on Carrysfort Roef is also very good, and weil kept; it was lighted on the 10th of Marob, 1852, Sinoe that time only two vessels have been ashore in sight of that light, and they both got off without injury The light at Cape Florida is also good, and well kept Bre light on this Koy is likewise good, and very well kept. Bana Key Lighthouse was blown down in the hur- ricane of sear Natt Sain ot eix ter ee a prospect now of its bein, ilt an . Ap» peas was made ps Congress, te build a gbihouse near Key Vaccas, about torty miles to the westward of Carrysforts light, and for a beacon to be erected on the Rebeoca shoal, near the Tor- tugas, which will be of great advantage to navi- gators This long neglected dangerous coast has at last received the attention of our government, and the gentlemen selected for the Lighthouse Board give asvuranoces to all interested in commerce, that in a few years this coast will be protected by s sufficient number of geod lights and large beacons on the euter shoals. An efficient force ia now at work | surveying the coast from Cape Fiorida to the Tor- | tugas Keys. Ley West, however, calls for more special atten- tion. Nature has made this island in particular the advanced post from which to watch and ‘d our commerce passing to and from the while, at the same timo, its peculiar situation, and the excellercs of its harbor, point it out as the most cervsin key to the commerca of Havana and that of the whole Gralf of Mexico. It possesses one of the best harbors from Pensacola te Hampton Roads, in Virginta; ships averaging tweuty eight feot weter can enter the harbor, and there are se- vers) chennels where vessels drawing from ten to twenty Ges can enter with safety. I[t is exactly vi _‘y one miles from the Moro Castle, in Cubs, a foreiga country. When Fort Taylor is fivished, our ships of war and merchant stips could be pro- tected If we ever have a war with a foreiga na- tion, this place, in its present condition, could be taken from us by one small steamship of war, and few hundred men could hold is agains: thousai to retuke it. Denmark, have all poseessions near this coast. Is is, therefore, the important point first te be put in state of defence, and this fort should be com- jeted and @ naval depot established here as soon us possible. I bave visited Tampa Bay and St. Marks, the last month, te ascertain why five fine vessels were wreck- ed in a fresh water river, eight miles from tho sea, and only one hunared and fifty feet wide. Tho rea- son is simply this. Zhe masters of four of these vergels had nothing to make fast to. The bark W. H. Brodie was blown or drifted 100 yards from the river among the trees—this vessel and cargo were worth $100 000 The brig Wacises was gotten off the day I arrived, by algging a canal to float her ; also, the sehooner y wal. the brig J. G. Andoraon was gotton off some time nee. The bark J. W. Dunham, that was blowa ashore near the mouth of the river, dismasted, is 60 far in- land that I fear sho will not be gotten off. To pre- vent future losses and accidents at St. Marks and Newport, I recommend to some of tho leading mer- chants to obtain a pile driver, and drive piles each side of the river (as it is only 150 feet wide.) If this is done, the vessels that may be there during hurricane months can make fast to them with chains from each bow and quarter, and you will never hoar - such accidents again on this river, if this is attend- ed to. Daring the past year I have visited Havana to as- certain the number of wrecks that have ooourred on the coast of Cuba from tho west and tothe Double Head Shot Keys. Only four vessels havo been lost on the north side within this range of 150 miles during the year 15.1. Accidents in the harvor an: ‘Yersels puitiog into Havana have been very fow. 1 have also visited the Bybama Keys during tha past year, Nassau, N. P., being on the principal wrecks, By inquiring, and from the newspaper fils, I ascertained that thirty-two vessela had been wrecked within » distance of two hundred and fitiy miles from Navsau during the year 1851. Of this numer, sixteen of the vesreis were & total loss, and rearly ali their cargoes. There is more loss of pro- perty here than on Florida reef, as the coast is | moreexpoeed. The wreckers have more risk and W pal we. 1, labor, the distance is greater—harfage, storage, and Jabor are much less than at Key West. A voe- re] can be repaired at Nassau for a less sum than at this place ‘he salvege puid to salvors is higher, ‘Dut the service reudered and the risk are greater | than on this const A lighthouse is much required on the N.E. point of Abaco. Last year the ship Russel Glover was lost near that poini—the ship and cargo were worth near 100 000. ‘The ship Galia was also lost, valued at ,0U0. Every year more or less property is lost for the want of ® good light on that coast. A light is alse ¥ory miith Wanted on the Isaacs, and small light om the Berry Isiand. A light 1 likewise ro- quired on che Orange Koys. If these poinrd ard highted, and the recommended lights and beacens put up om our coast. the navigation connected with julf Stream will be mueh safer for life and Ship masters of our country and the commereial world, are interested im having tho Bahama Keys and the Florida coast properly lighted. The ex- pense of saving wrecked property 1s = gain to one party and @ joss to another. This is balanced. But the hundreds of thousands lost every year on the Bahamas and this cons; does no one any good, and it is so mach money lost to the world. The imports and exports of a large part of the following States pass within a few miles ot this reef, viz :—Florida, Alabama, Louisiane, Missiasip- pi. Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, and Texas; also of Mexico, and in e few years doubtless the Pacific and China trade will also pass near this place, as a canal or railroad wil) be made from the head of she Bay of Mexioo. The 8; ment have, within fow, jouses on the coast of Cuna. British government will oo operate with our government, and give the subject of lights the attention it morita.
