) 8 and thy Slave Trade emmene jpado (epee ‘et To Loup Brovemam anv Vavx. Havana, June 29, 1858, My Lord—In reading over the debate which re- ceptly took place in the British House of Lords upon the Cuban slave trade there were two things which very forcibly called my attention. ‘The first was the lamentable ignorance which was displayed upon that occasion as to the real facts of occurrences here, and which were then referred to ; the second waa your Jordship’s extraordinary perspicuity in placing, notwithstanding the source from whence they pro- ceeded, just as much faithin the new assurances of the Spanish government and the Captain General's honest intentions for the future as they were worth. Jn theremarks which you made upon the occasion referred to you said, ‘Before you could be at all dis- posed to withdraw your charge against the Captain General of Cuba, you would wait to see whether thore good intentions were followed up by perforn:- ances.” Now, my lord, I think it isto be regretted that uch an august body as the British House of Lords sbowld apparently know 80 little with regard to the flourishing state of the slave trade in this island, which is carried on, in most instances, with the most audacious impunity, and with the scandalous and notorious connivance of the local authorities. I therefore propose to place withiu your knowledge a plain unvarnished statement of the facts connected with the late disembarkations of negroes which have been effected on this island, and leave your lordship to draw your own conclusions as to how much faith may be placed in Spanish assurances and honeet intentions. I ought to premise that my information is obtained from the best and most reliable sources; and that although I have taken cousiderable pains in thread ing out the facts connected vith the several infrac tions of the law which I am about to relate, the task bas been an easy one, because of the great no- toriety which almost immediately attends the disem- * barkation of every cargo of Bozal negroes which is landed upen the coasts of this island. This notoriety arises from two causes; one is the strong opposition evinced against the trade by the native population ef Cuba, who dread an insurrection amongst the , hegroes; the other is from the more correct thinking portion of the Spanish (irom old Spain) commanity, who ee in it, not only the the evil apprehended by the Creoles, but also a source of misunderstanding with those powers with which Spain has bound her- self in solemn treaties to abolish a traffic long since abandoned and detested by the rest of the civilized world. ‘the parties, generally, who carry on the slave trade in Cuba are very few. These are men from Old Spain, principally from the provinze of Catalonia, called Catalans, who actually carry on the abomina- ble traffic, and the needy Spanish officials who are sent out from Spain, and whose onl yore Ly reachiug Cuba is to make the most ot the short time allotted to them in the official post to which they muy have been appointed—the latter, Bycwtabing: at and covering the proceedings of the. slave traders, are the real premosers of this inhuman commerce. During she experience of many years resi- dence in this island there have been but two Captains General who did not secretly connive at andl receive bribes for permitting the introduc- tion of Bozal negroes from Afriea. These were Generals Valdes and Concha; aud it is the opinion of all classes of the people here that had the latter—the wise and high-minded Concha— been retained in the government of Cuba, and been invested with the powers which he in vain asked for from Madrid—to persecute with vigor the infractors of the treaties for the suppression of the slave trade—not a man would have dared to introduce a negro illegally into this island. Your lordship must bear in mivd that the government of | Cuba in all but in matters of slave trade, which ig purporely left open for the convenience of a high TPersonage at Madrid, is that of the most arbitrary | despotiem. A person cannot go from one part of the island to the other without a passport; he may not go three miles beyond the city without previously having duly provided himself with the requisite per- mit—nay, my lord, he may not move even into the next street until he has first given notice tothe neighboring Commicsary! Ifsuch isthe law, and that it fs expected mort strictly to be complied with—and 1 will appeal to every forciguer who has ever visited Cuba us to the truth of iny assertion—I would ask, how on earth it can be possible such large gangs, (numbering upwards of 1.000 sometimes,) of recent- ly imported negroes can march trom one part of the island to another without attracting the atteution of | some of the authorities, who swarm every district, atd@ who are ever watchful to pounce upon any un- wary travellers who may have thonghtlessly ven- tured into the country «ud mieluid bis permit The late Prime Minister of Spain, the Coun of Alcoy, made more money by the slave trade than avy of his predecessurs, (iucluding General O’Donnel,) ever did befure him. I do not make thie statement at random; it was spoken of | openly avd publicly by the very men who paid him, (darovgh bis ap Sandoval,) the money; but I had my information from a still better source. [had it trom the Count’s own agent, Mr. V——-a, through whem the money was sent to Europe, some of which was invested in the English funds.

It may, however, be not amiss that I should have done so, inasmuch as that I have stated nothing bot what is firmly believed to be the truth. Yo commence, then, with the caxe of the 1,100 slaves Janded on Cayo Pridra, (Stone Key,) in the mouth of March Jast, 300 of which their pega innocently supposed had been rescued from the mireries of slavery through the exertions of the Bri- tish Consul, to whom they had been delivered up as emanctpados ! Nothing could execed the bare-faced audacity of all the circumstances connected with the arrival and dwembarkation of this cargo Stone Key is imme- diately opposite to the town of Cardenas, and I think can be seen from the windows of the Governor's resi- dence. The expedition was under the conzmand of Antonio Capo. lt is perfectly true that when he sailed from Africa there were upwards of 1,300 ne- groes op board; but the slaves having more than once tried to take the ship, about 200 of them were meeacred in the attempts by the crew. These 1,100 slaves were conveyed in lannches—there not | being water deep enough for so large a vessel to ap- proach neurer to the shore—to the town of Cardenas and from thence marched, @ distance of 40 miles or more, to Camurivca, to the estates of Messrs. Suaz- navar aud others, the owuers of the expedition, Now, my lord, as this was all done in broad day, I ght, known to every man, woman and child in Curdenas, you would naturally iets where was his Excellency the Governor, Don Manuel Hector, and the host of other officials whose duty it was to have revented this scandalous infraction of their own we. The news soon reached Havana, and for a day or two the common topic of conversation was, what a handsome thing their Excellencies must have made for permitting the introduction of 80 large a cargo. Doubtless the spies had reported that the mutter was currently known and talked of in the | city, because soon afterwards it was deemed expe dient that a sort of investigation shoul i be gone into | for the sake of gl oe aud accordingly the Brigadier Morales a was eommissioned by Gene- ral Ganedo to proceed to Cardenas and Camarioca, ard form an ¢. lente upon the subject. Of course these steps were not taken uitil afier the negroes | were ull safely located on the differcnt estates, from whence, it was well known by the offictals, according to their law, they could not be removed. But the matter having become #0 very notorious, Messrs. Suasnavar, Barro, and one or two others, were con- fined in their own houses for five or six days, and some 290 of the most emagiated and sickly of the Bozals were given up to Morales Rada, declared emancipados by the blog tribunal de audiencia, and have since, the greater part of them, been given beck to their original owners under the name of emancipados. Au enuncipado, my lord, is ® negro who may ‘ ut from Spaia to the d enly long since while the secret and ili only be attended | aud wi.l continue to soried to by the Brit- 1 compelled to become | | their duties—irdeed, the Captain General has re- | noyingly vigilant—tbey doubtless will daly have re- | sight of the Moro Castle. | and it was understood thut the verrel was to be | Calvo, are Court ctpadce,, that is, they are to be bound out as appren- tives to respectable ies for o term not exceeding ners years, in order Soa Surin co period they may Mie itieaee ck the ‘ish language, un- derrtand the duties of Christianity, and learn how to work, 80 that they may be able to provide for them: selves at the expiration of their seven years appren- ticeship. But, wy God, what a mockery of the law isthe real condition of an emancipado! Bought originelly from the government for the sum of seven ounces of gold, ($119,) the only thought of his new master is how he can get the most work out of the unfortunate apprentice at the least poesible expense. Asiave is well cared for, because he is the property of his master, and bis death would involve a logs of some $600 or $700; therefore if the slave falls sick the best physician is called in, and everything is done for bim that would be done for a white member of the family; whereas the unhappy emancipado legally belonging to nobody, if untortunately he should be attacked with disease, his condition is truly forlorn. No physician is called in for him— no, the expense would be too oe for a negro we do not own. Consequently he is lefs to himself, to get well or die, and treated with all the indifference of a brute. At the end of seven years {t would be supposed that the hard apprenticeship of the emancipado was over, and that now he would begin to enjoy something of life as his own master; but it is not so. At the expiration of the first seven years, the govern- ment tor the time being discover, doubtleas with much regret, that the religious education of the em- ancipado had been sadly neglected by his first mas- ter, and anxious for the salvation of the poor fel- Jow’s couJ,and in want of money, he is re-apprenticed fur seven years more, at the same price; and av he will be again at the eud of the fourtcen years servi- tude, if the streugth of his constitution enables him to hold out so long aguinst the dreadful hardships and privations he is compelled to Encerio- Talking with a friend, some time ago, about the wretched condition of the «mancipados in general, he said he had @ woman servant then in the house with hin who had been captured by an Buglish cruiser wee thirty years ago, was broughtiuto Havana, declared, with the rest of her unfortunate companions, an emancipado, but notwithstanding which she was then held as a slave by a certain Senor Masquiz, fiom whom my frieud nired her as a servant at my requert, The poor woman was called in; she said the was called Escolastica Perez, that she was cap- tured aay Kec ago on board # Spanish brig by a little English schooner, which, a8 well as we could make out, must have been called the Shipjack. She bas two children, @ boy and a gul, of about twelve and fourteen yeurs of age, aud my friend declared the was quite @ treasure to him, she was so kind and afiectionate to bis children, but also that she longed for her treedom. She acknowledged that she was kindly treated by those whom she now served, but that her previous life had been very miserable, and she did not know how soon my friead might no lon- Sa require her services. This acquaintance with Sscolustica occurred sometime ago. I will now tell jou the result of it. Feeling deeply interested in the history of this poor wowan, who recounted her little stery with an air of such calm und passive re- signation, I pointed out to her that she ought to go and state her case to the English consul, who would, ; I felt assured, do everything in his power to obtain her liberation a8 a british captured emancipado. She promised she would doso. Business having, soon alter this, called me to tne United States, Eseo- lustica aud her troubles were for a t'me forgotten, and upon my return to Cuba the friend with whom she bad been piered at service had left the island. But accidentally passing near the houre of the Eng- lish consul, some three weeks ago, I saw an immense crowd near the door, aud a poor woinan in the hands of a ruffianly Spanish porter, who was beating her most unmercifuliy with a heavy bludgeon, whilst the unhappy creature was scieaming in the most heart- rending accents for the consul to protect her. The struggling victim was Escolasti-a! Unluckily, she had tollowed my advice, but not before they bud torn her two free children,(because they were the children of an emancipado,) away from her, to send them into the interior, and then it was, it appears, she pre- sented berself to the consul, as the ouly person from whom she could hope to obtain redress ; and this being found out by her master, Senor Musquez, the | emancipado into the country, where she now is, the gentle and unhappy Escolastica, working in chaius asafield laborer on the estate of Musquiz. The | seene at the door of the consulate was caused by man who had ber in charge to oils her off to the estate. Finding herseW in the neighborhood of tue consul’s house, she bad made a last effort to inter- est the consul in ber unhappy and forlorn condition. If the consul has done his duty, he will have re ported this poor woman's hard case to the British government. This is but one instance of the thousands which have oceurred on this island of their treatment of | emanctpadcs. The condition of the emanctpados is | f thousand times worse than that of the sluves. It | if Savery without comfort of any kind—hopeless ery. In the month of January last 600 Bozal negrona were landed at Cabanas, a port distant about forty miles to the westward of Havana. It is quite noto- ricus here that the vessel came consigned to Don Joaquin Gomez, to whose estate—the San Igna- cio—they were conveyed. Among the purchasers of this cargo figured his Excellency Don Antonio Parejo, the agent here for her Majesty Queen Christina, who form- an estate—to be the ‘gest in Cuba— disembarkation were very notorious, inasmuch as that it took place in a licensed port, much frequent- ed, and only forty miles from Havana. All the par- ties concerned received their due amount of fees, and no further questions were asked. There have been several cargoes of negroes landed in the same neigh- borhood, and in other of the islaud, since that which tovk place at Cabanas. But, as | understand, the Britieh functionaries here are not unmindful of peatedly been heard to say that they are most an- pans all the cases which came under their notice, for the _prpeee| of which I would refer you to the proper department in London, whilst I, in the mean- time, shall content myself by giving you the articulars of thore disembarkatiuns only which Fave eccurred since your lord-hip expressed your doubts as “to the propriety of withdrawin; your charges against his Cuban Excellency unt ou heard the result of the new assurances and jonest intentions.” On the very day that your lordship made the re- mark above referred to, 300 poor victims were landed from a brigantine at the port of Mariel, a few miles distant to the westward of Havana, and almost in After the ne; were | a'l eafe on the estate San Juan, the fees, &c., paid, | abandoned being totally unfit for another voyage to Africa, she was thereupon seized by the Spanish au- thorities, who, you may depend upon it, make much merit of having captured a rlaver, (abandoned by | her crew and curgo!) The Lieutenant Governor of Mariel, Colonel Justiz, has since been removed from | his post under the pretence of lacking vigilance; but | I dare say his Excellency, when stating this circum- stance in proof of his honest intentions, will forget | to add that the Colonel has sinee been pro- | vided with a better employment, Nothing more has resulted in this case. Nearly about the same time as the last mentioned affair upwards of two hundred and ninety slaves were landed at Bailen, a town on the south coast, to the westward of the Isle of Pines, in the jurisdiction of Pinar del Rio, from a brig, said to have been the | old English brig Baracoa, which got ashore in that | neighborhood some twelve or fourteeu_ months ago, and was purchased bys certain Don Ventura Peque- no, who, to the astonishment of everybody, obtained for her, with the greatest apparent facility, the Span- ich flag. The negroes were landed on the wharf at Bailen in broad daylight, the people of the town gathering rovnd them in crowds. As the slaves stepped on shore they were received by Don Manuel the director of the Ms steamers which ran between Batabano and Bailen, and Don Pio Dias, who marched the negroes pub- liely through the town to his estate, El Valle, distant from Bailen about nine miles. After the ne- groes were landed, the brig was got under weigh to tail for Havana, but she miseed stays, and drifted on | a randbank, where she stuck fast, and, finding it im- possible to get her off, she was burnt where she lay, opposite the town, in view from the windows of the Lieutenant Governor's house. I think I hear your lordship say, This looks very much like comnivance on the part of the Spanish au- thorities. But to continue my narrative, which is no secret here. At El Valle the slaves were sold in lots, Pio Dias becoming one of the principal purchasers. The Governor of Pinar del Rio, Colonel! Pantaleon Lopez Ayllon, having satisfactorily arranged some money matters, amounting to upwards of $6,000, with the agents of Messrs. Dias and Calvo, the Sen- ores Velez and Henera, orders were issued by that functionary not to molest the negroes, they be- ing already on the estates; and all the other officials, having received their reasons, in no way jwterfered with or molested the negroes which they encountered on the publie roads in their transit from one estate to the other. Pio Dias still had s considerable number of the | Bozals at his estate—El Valle—when a new difficalts prevented itself, They had hoped to have effecte: is embarkation without having to share the ceeds with those at headquarters, and had therefore neglected to report the circumstan es to the Captain General. The fools! they onght to have known bet- ter. Not even baif a barrel of contraband flour can be landed on this coast, much less a cargo of live ne- | ag without its being known to the Captian General. ‘ol. Don Jose Maria Bapada suddenly made hia ap- Pearance at El Vaile, | whence, with @ bundle in his hands, he followed ro- | by the country by his Excellency | gcons, and with much parade bezan to institute in- quires into the affair; butere be had spoken a dozen words be was taken aside by Don Pio Dias, and very scon afterwaids be had taken up his quarters in the bouse of Don Pio, and the troops were ordered to return to their poe 80 that, when Colonel Espada arrived the day following, he was easily cou- vinced how utterly unfounded was the report which bao reached his Excellency the Captain General of acorgo of regroes having been lauded at Bailen. Bvt in order to carry out the farce of investigstion the day following that of Colonel Espada’s arrival, all Dias’ old har ds, in new dresses, such as are worn by Pozsls on their first arrivel, were brought befure the Colonel for bis inspection, and these, having been interrogated by bim, they replied in Spanish, which he pretended to receive as evidence sufficient that there had been no disembarkation of negroes effected recently in that district, but that the negroes which were landed from the tiig at Bailen were some vid hands brought from another part of the island. Such was the report given in to General Canedo—sub rosa, however, he was really acquainted with the true facts. The brig which brought this cargo from the coast of Africa being of small tonnage could not bring ali that were ready for bér ; a schooner was therefore despatched, under the command of Dominguiz, lately belonging to one of the coasting steamers, to briag the remain- ing negroes to Cuba. Several other cargoes were ex- pected soon to arrive in the same neighborhood. (our lordship has seen what little good resulted from this case. A few days previous to the affair at Bailen, saythe 25th May, a large ship, called the Jasper, hoisting Awerican colors, but owned by a notorious slave trader, residing in Havana, Don L. Garcia landed upwards ef 700 negroes in the waters of San Juan de los Remedios. She was seen, also, by the passengers frm Sugua la Grande, who passed close by her in the coasting steamer on their way to Havana; two launches full of negroes were alongside the ship, which appeared to be about 400 tons burden, and had the American ensign flying ull the time, Makiag further inquiries into this case, | found that 15 was, as usual, no secreton the wharf, which serves, for wont of a better, as a sort of Havana Exchange. ‘Lhe ship was supposed to be the Jasper from the fact ot her landing her negroes in the neighborhood | of her owner's property. ‘Lhe slaves were conveyed | to San Juan in two lighters belonging to the com- mandsnt of the coast guard, Don Hipotito Escobal, | who lodged the slaves in the very centre of the town, bot a hunered yards from the Lieutenant | Governor's residence. The next morning, in broad | duylight, they were publicly distributed amongst | their reveral purchasers, and sent to the es | tates in the inte: The vessel was burned. | and was seen burning two days after she | had been ret on fire. A certain Mr. Alberrin ar- | ranged the fees upon this occasion, evidently to the satiefaction of all parties concerned, for the matter bas aheady ceased to occupy the public attention, which seems to be absorbed with the still more scan- dulous case of the celebrated Lady Suffolk, Besides the cargo of the Lady Suffolk, several | other vessels having recently succeeded in landing their cargoes of slaves, under circumstances of the most desing iapnnity, in the district of Cienfuegos, on the south coast of Cuba. It will be well, before entering into the details connected with the disem- barkation of 1,287 slaves from ‘“ Her Ladyship,” that should relate to your lordship a little anec- dvte which transpired lately, with regard to a pre- vious landing of slaves which occurred in the district ot Trinidad, but in which the Senor | Colonel Reques, Governor of Cienfuegos, took | who navigated the Lady suffolk trom New York to | to Havana on business. somewhat an_ active part. small cargo of some 303 slaves were landed a tew | few miles to the eastward of ['rinidad, at a place | called Rio Punta de Zaza. They were brough: for | the account of the very notorious Spanish slave trader, | (who was more than once imprisoned by General | Concha,) Sulvador Castro, and conveyed tothe estate | of a Spanish official, the Senor Don Mariano Boorel. | ‘There the negroes were publicly sold. Sixty were sent | on speculation, by the coasting steamer [sabel, to | Cienfuegos, for the introduction of whom it is public and notorious that the Governor, Colonel Reques, re- ceived an ounce ($17) ahead. It would appear that the fir-t sixty, having brought such good prices, the | some speculators determined to try thirty more, which it was arranged should be sent to Cien- fuegos by the next trip of the Isabel. Some how or other this leaked out—there are so many meddling individuals always ready to thwart and oppose the weil combined plans of the slave traders, It was said the Eug)ish consul had been informed of their tricks, and that the Captain General had therefore been compelleé to make a show ot taking scme steps in the matter. Be that as it may, Ceptain La Bandeira, of the steamer Isabel, received a note az he approached the entrance ot the | ceep harbor of Cient hn to hide the thirt; negroes on board, inasmuch as there was an Englis! steamer of war, with the vice cousul and two com- missioners, from Havana, all ready waiting Wo weord | him the instant he got alongside the whart, and that it. would never do that the Britishers should find the negroes on board. ‘autain La Bandeira, himself an old slave trader, knew precisely Wit to dey havides which it his own brether who brought the cargo of 303 slaves from Atrica to Rio Zaza. The Isabel was made faet to the wharf, tue commissioners, consul, and. all the rest of them stepped on board; but notwith- standing the minute examination which was made they did not find any negroes, and Col. Requer expreseed his indignation at having been so vilely calummiated by those who supposed him guilty of conniving with men engaged in such a reprobated traffic. Had, nevertheless, the officers of the British war steamer been ble to approach closer to the Isabel, and kept a strict watch upon her, they would have seen, towards dusk, at intervals of ten or twenty minutes, a young negro lad pushed through the starboard cabin porthole on to the wharf, from clorely on the heels of @ man, with whom he was oon fost sipht of in the streets of the town, The entire thirty were landed in this way, and his Ex- cel'ency Colonel Reques, in consideration of the addi- tional risks which had been incurred, received an cunce and a half, or $25 50, for each negro upon that occasion. This, my lord, I have from an eye-wit- ness, who afterwards purchased two or three of the fame negrces. The negroes, nearly all young lads, were secreted between the ribs and the outer skin or casing in the hold of the steamer Isabel. And now witb regard to the Lady Suffolk, Iam going much beyond what I originally had intended to ey to your lordship. It was soon known in Ha- vena that the notorious, and I may well add iofa- mous, Eugenio Vinas had arrived in the Lady Suf- folk, and landed at the Ensenada de Cochinos, on the south coast, between Cienfuegos and Batabano, 1,267 negroos. In few cases has the connivance of the Spanish authorities been more clearly demonstra- ted than this; and that man must indeed be but a shallow diplomatist, and unfit to ores with Spanish | cunning, who can, in the face of such open and con- clusive proofs of official complicity with the slave traders as are almost daily and hourly afforded here, allow himself to be gulled by the worthless and dis- honest assurances of men who, while making them, | know full well they are never to be carried into effect, but who are, nevertheless, ever disposed to make such promises as they think will ward off, at least during the short time they expect to retain | office, the coming storm, which ere long they foresee | must, unless they put an end to the unhallowed | treffic, swallow them up in all their iniquity. It was the intention of Vinas to have disembarked his slaves near San Juan de Jos Remedios, Don Pedro having a new estate in that neighborhood; cade, Who bad an interest in the eee ut upon | his artival at Cayo Frances he was warned by the | lookout schooners purpoeely placed near there that | there were reveral English cruisers in those waters, | and mort extraordivary 4s it may appear, he bad berely time to make up his mivd what to do when | they made out an English war steamer laying to | barely two milesdistant. The Lady Suffolk's course | ‘wus immediately altered, aud a few days afterwards she arrived safely at the Ensenada de Cochinos, and | landed her cargo securely. One of the sailors stated that upwards of 1,500 were received on board the vesrel before they left Africa; but in consequence | as he supposed, of the overcrowded state of the negroes, the want of veatilation and proper novrishbment, added to the filthy state of the hold, a kind of diarrbwa was soon engendered amongst them, carrying the poor creatures off in a few hours; and fo terrible was this scourge at last that the crew, many of whom thetwselves became affected, were almost botid bo employed in drawing up the dead bodies trom the hold and throwing them overboard by dozens. Nor after their disembarka- tion at the Ensenada were they much better off. This district of Cuba is one continued swamp for many miles round, quite uninbabitable. Never dreaming that they would be compelled to resort to that mixe- rable place to effect their landing, no provisiou what- ever had been made to receive the negroes, and many of them died on shore from weakness. Nav, such was the extreme ezaciation to which most of them were reduced that they were even unable to de- fend themselves from the alligators, several of them being killea by those vorac reptiles. Two or threw of the crew died bere also. ‘At length the weary march for the Alava, belong- ing to Julian Zulueta, the principal owner of the ex- pedition, was begun. The Alava estate I should cal- culate to be in a direct line from the place of disem- barkation, not more than fifty miles distant. In that short march 160 of the poor negroes died from exhaus- tion and the effects of diarrhea. Fifty were stolen eople, 600 were led to Alreus’ estate, and divided between Senors Cabreras, Ville- | Zulueta. as, Alrens, &c., and the rest are now on Zulueta’s estate the Alava+where the cholera has amongst them, creating sach fearful ravages that some friends who have recently arrived from that district declared to me that on the Alava £0 prent was the stench arising: the only half. boried negroes that they were compelled to put spurs to their horses and out of the pestiferous atmosphere! It is ro at currently believed here, that Vinas, the captain of ‘this fear- ful Saicn: sailed on the 7th instant for Cadiz, on board her Majesty’s steamer Ysabel la Catolica Col. Reques, the Governor of Cienfuegos, received for bis share in this transaction the sum of five bu dred ounces of gold, added to the large sums which he received only a few days previous for his connivance at the iutrodu of between 600 aad 700 Bozal negroes also for account of Mr. Jaolian Zulueta. Your lordship will admit Governor Reques has made a very hanogome thing out of his gover- norhip of $1,500 or £300 per annum! All the rest of the officials, high and low, received thelr due proportions, and cousequently that vast body of newly imported negroes were allowed to paas from one district to another on their way to the estates in the interior without any questious being asked or their being in any way inteifered with. Now, my lord, this sort of conduct surely cannot be called by any other term milder than scandalous connivance of the Spanish authorities. But if their conduct is to be reprehended for allowing the dirembarkation of the negroes on this island, their permitting the vessel to fit out in these ports aud sail on their inhuman voyage is still more so. In the month of November Int, moch excitement and alurm sgain existed in the minds of this goverument, ayising from a rumor which reached them that an- other expedition was being orgauized in the United States against Cuba. The utmost vigilance was in- culcated, and the subaltern. officers ordered to report avy circumstance that occurred in their districts along the coasts of the island; nay, to such an extent was this carried, that they lost a splendid new war steamer, the Pizarro, which was sent out from Ha- vaua to give chase toa vessel which had been tele- rapbed as suspicious from the Moro Castle, and in flowing her—ehe turved out to be an American mo- lasses vessel proceeding to the port of Mariel—the steamer rap upon a reef and wastotaily lost. The pos- session of half a pound of ganpowder, if not very satirfactorily accounted for, was sufficient to cause any man to be provided with lodgings in the Moro, such were the precautions thought necessary against the expected filibustero expedition, Against a man- stealing piratical slaver no such precautions were required; the latter business was 4 aa enough in their eyes, and accordingly the Lady Suffolk, a vesse) nearly 600 tons burden, was with the conni- vance of some at least of these authorities, permitted to arrive at a port barely twenty miles from Havana, to sail therefrom to another, where she remained several days perfectly unmolested, although it was weil known to more than one of the government au- thorities of Havana that she was fitting out at Bahia Honda for the Coastof Africa. The American sailors Bahia Honda, made the following statement to onr covsul, Judge Sharkey:—That they shipped on board the Lady Suffulk at New York, bound for Havana and back to the United States; that they arrived at the port of Mariel on the 24th November and sailed next duy for Babia Honda, which they entered about noon, same day. ‘I'wo days afterwards the captain, Mr. Adams Gray, and his son, ag also the steward, left the ship, as the sailors supposed, to go The same evening the Spanish coasting steamer Sirena came alongside, | bringing Captain Eugenio Vinas and a Spanish crew of eeventy men. Svon afterwards a schooner dropped anchor by the ship, from which was recelved sixteen 18-pound cannon, an immense quantity of arms and ammunition, water-tanks, shackles, in short all the appurtenances of a slaver on a grand scale, and which left little doubt in the minds ot the honest American sailors as to the character under which their vessel was nowybout to sail. Having all of them, with the exception of the Italian cook, resist- ed the tempting offers of the new captain for them to join his crew, the Americans demanded to be put on hore or cent to Havana. Vinas’ reply to this was to put them below, where they were kept till the vessel was ready for sea, and five days afterwards, twenty miles from land, they were transferred from the Lady Suflolk to the Spanish steamer Sirena, | which latter vessel had towed the former that dis- tance, and a(terwards came to Havana, bringing the Aterican sailors with her. They were put on shore, and immediately complained to Judge Baktkey how they bad been treated, Captain Gray having sold the Lady Suffolk to Mr. Julian Zulueta tor $29,000, the pened to be delivered twenty miles from the coast of Tuba. Now, the master, Adams Gray, having delivered the American regi-ter of the Lady Snffolk imme- diately upon bis arrival here to Consul Sharkey, and that cireomstance having duly been re- ported to General Canedo, how can your lordship account for this piratienl ship—for she was thea without any documents whatever under which she-could navigate—being permitted to remain at aucher under the guns of the fort, opposite the town of Bahia Honda, with a crew of seventy or eighty men, a thing in itself suepicions, for more than five days, during the whole of which time they were seen from the shore taking in an immense quantit / of provisions, tanks of water all denoting but too pJainly the destization of this vessel. The guns, cutlasees, pistols, and all the rest of the ammunition, Were sent from Havana. How was it, considering Weiter Lavan BAP hndbebuiGiy among tio Hultees” ow was it that these ae and ths powder, &«., were permitted to leave this-port? No sailor can be discharged from, or ship on board, any veasel with- out permission from the Captain of the Port or if a Spanish veseel, that of the Commandant of Matricu- las. How was it, then, that seventy or eighty sea- pien, in a place where sailors are go scarce as they are kere, could leave Havana for a port close by without attracting the attention of so vigilant a man a8 Don Mariano Lune, Captain of the Port? We may also atk how was it that this man, s0 famous Yor causing the rules of the port to be most strictly complied with. yet permitted the strictest of ail to be broken with impunity in the cave of the slaver Venus, permitted to sail during the night, but which was pursued the following morning by the British frigate Vestal, captured, brought baek, and finally condemned? The Lady Suffolk sailed, and all Havana, with the exception of the sluve traders, cried “shame.” The clumor was so great that the government found they would be compelled to take some notice of it, and accordingly the American captain aud a clerk of Zulueta’s bamed Ysuxi, were confived for six or seven days in the sala de distincton (room of distinction) of the public jail. I called there to see them, and except the temporary restraint which they suffered they had Wipe tens yh could wish for ; a8 soon ag matters quieted down a little, they were released and the paltry fine of a thousand dollars, which was exacted by the was instantly paid by the milliona Julian Zulueta, the owner of that piratical vesxel. The coasting steamer Sirena, for bringing up the American crew from the Lady Suffolk, and for baving- taken to that vessel the guns and emmunition, &.,and which would have been suf- ficient under other circumstances than those con- nected with a slave-trading expedition to have confis- cated the steamer,and sent to the garrote or to the Pre- sidio for lite, all those who had been concerned in the affair, was simply fined one thousand dollars, which was immediately handed over by Don - Julian These things are no secret, my lord. The slave traders boast publicly on th arves and in the cafes of the protection which they receive from the gcverpment; and I would ask your lordship if it ‘were not 80, in a country like this, where the will of the Captain General is law, and no man dares to ccntravene his orders, do you suppose for one mo- ment that there could be found in the Island of Cuba any man who would venture to engage in the detestable traffic after his Excellency’s flat gone forth that the trade must cease? But this evil does not altogether lie with their Fxcellencies, it springs also from the fountain head of Cuban misery, the corrupt and profligate Court of | Madrid. Your lordship appears to have had some | doubt as to the real honesty of General Concha’s intentions to Pe down the slave trade. A more hence, as @ natural consequence, sprang up renewed activity among the tluve traders. A great many vesrels were immediately fitted out in every port of Cuba. Many sailed dit for Africa from ports iu Catalovia, (Spain,) and some parties went tothe United States and purchased vessels, (not an 1 beommon practice, by the bye,) to be de- livered at the Cape de Verds, from ‘whence, after being fitted out, they suil with a Spanish crew for the coast of Africa. ‘These expeditions are now all returning to Cuba. Tculculate that upwards of ten thonsand slaves, at the very least, have been Janded ou this isvand since the first of January; and it would Have been an cas} tark for me to have given you all the details connec! ed with most of the disembarkations which have al- ready been effected, but as they are all more or less alike, I hope those I have already particularized will answer the purpose of making you acquainted with the manner iwhich these things are managed in Cuba. The occasional capture of a few emaciated sickly negroes, oft t'mes purposely thrown in the wey of the government, to enable the latter to make out now and then a good case to establish their honest intentions, as was frequent- ly resorted to by Count Alcoy, or the capture of an abandoned slaver after the negroes have been safely landed aud located on the estates, as is the practice of our present Captain General—the imma- culate Canedo—is no proof that they are in earnest in their intentions to put down the ‘horrible traffic, although the captain of an old vessel or two, and a few sickly slaves, may do very well to serve as a blind for the British Mivister at Madrid; for, accord- ing to Lord Clarendon’s speech in reply to the Earl ot Carlisle, on the 30th of May, it would pppeer that the wily Spaniards bad actually induced Lord How- den to swallow and take for granted that they were really in carnest in their new assurances. Diplomatic correspondence will never have any weight with the present set of men who fill the high- est positions in Spain; but as often as they may be taken to task by the British government, so often will they be ready to offer new assurances, and the people ot Englund will discover that, tWenty years hence, the lave trade ip Cuba will be quite as dourlshing as it it now, aud was twenty years ago, unless that gov- ernment adopts other aud stronger measures to compel the faithful observance of the treaties, In conclusion, I may as Well avquaint your lord- ship that Julian Zulueta, notoriously ‘connected with the pirate sbip Lady Suffolk and other slavers, has been arrested within the last few days, and is row confined in the castle of the Cabanas. It is not for his infumous slave trading speculations that he is placed under restraint. Ne; be has high protection at Madrid; and bad itnot been for that, the sailors who filled all the low boarding houses in town, and were Jodged many of them within four or five doors of the Captain General’s palace, and whose evidence,had his Excellsncy thought proper to bave taken, would have condemned Mr. Zulueta a thousand times over—for they it was who assisted their commander, Vinas, to escort the negrees from los Cochinos to Zulueta’s es- tate, the Alava—would not bave been furnished with government licenses and hurried out of the island. it the reason of Mr. Zulveta’s arrest is this: An American mail steamer arrived here from New York on the 19th instant, bringing to his Excellency ‘the alarming intelligence that a serious debate had tuken place upon the flourishing state of the slave trade in Cuba in the British House of Lords, and that one of England's most talented noblemen had expressed himsel? aa doubting the propriety of placing any turtber confidence . Spadish romises: or honest iuteutions, so far ut least as regarded their putting down the slave trade in Cuba. Now, for teveral days previous to the arrival of the news, Mr. Zulueta bad boasted that he had had the full protec- tion of General Canedo’s officers to land his slaves. Nothing ecapes his Excellency, and it having been pointed out to him that if Zulueta’s boast- ing got abroad, in the present state of pub- lic feeling in Englana upon the subject of the slave trade, iv would not redound much to his Excellency’s credit, Zulueta was sent for, aud tbe latter, presuming upon a certain some- thing which must have previously occurred be- tween them, treated the Captain General with dis- respect; a violent altercation ensued, which resulted in Mr. Zulueta being ordered to present himself un- der arrect in the Castle of Cabanas; the laster refused to obey the order=; but the same night, about. 114 o'clock, he wus takea from his house by a guard of soldiers, and conveyed to the Cabanas, where he bas very comfortable quarters allotted to him, and where his friends visit him at all hours. It is well understocd leie that this wiil ail blow over in the course of a tew days, and Zulueta will be put at liberty as were the Messrs. Suaznavar and Company, at Matanzas, in March last. It is useless for me to say more upon the subject of slave trade in Cuba; the cases which might be adduced of the guilty connivance of these authorities with the equally guilty slave traders would fill vol- umes, This letter, suggested by your lordship's remarks in the Houre of Lords, was’ written on the spur of the moment, but | hope that my description of the infamies carried on in this island with regard to the poor slaves may enlist your ali powerful. sympathies in their bebalfy yo ceus ua war UpUn BOIS BUALION Muni her niore,or less,nbout twenty-two vessels, the greater part of there are fine steamers; these ships are kept constautly cruising round the island to keep off American filibu-teros. How is it, then, your lord- ship will ask, they never by avy possible chance in- texcept the shiver-? What a pity it was that the Cortes recently was ordered so hurriedly to be closed, and consequently the world deprived of honest General Concha’s threatened exposure of the infamcus rource from whence proceeded the protec- tion npon which the sluve traders counted in carrying on their horrible traffic in Cuba. Log The Tehuamepec Route. LETTER OF CULON+L SLOO TU THE CITIVENS OF NBW_ ORLEANS. The government of Mexico, ina spirit of liberal- ity, and magnanimous conciliation, and in the face es of powerful wealthy competitors, have granted to myself and associates the right of way over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. I have thought it proper and respectful to the citizens of Louisiana, ‘under whore geuers] law I have organized a se 2 py for the construction of the various works confided to me, to explain to them publicly my views on the benefits that may result therefrom to the city of New Orleans, the porition of the contract, the principles upon which the charter has been drafted, and the culculations upon which it has been based. I presume it will hardly be necessary to expatiate upon the vast benctits this city, the valley of the issigeippi, and the whole western country must de- rive from the opening of this route. A mere glance at the map makes them resign: eh meet and a comparison of distances will make it evident that this route, once completed, the whole trade and: traffic of the Pacific ocean must necessarily concen- trate iteelf at New Orleans. For whilst we shall be brought within three thousand miles and ten days’ travel to San Franciseo, New York, elthough gaining By, cur route eleven hundred and sixty Tniles over her Panama road, will bestill distant 4500 miles from St. Francisco, at the same time that we shall be brought 2100 miles nearer to that city than we now are by the way of the Isthmus of Panama. ‘The effect of this must be not only to attract to New Orleans the trade and passenger traffic of the ceun- try generally, but te foree New York herself to use ourroad. On the completion of the Great Northern | Railroad, now iy progress, it is estimated the pas- sage from New York to New Orleans will be made in three days, whence the transportation to Califor. nia will be effected in ten days; thus the are from New York to Culifornia will be made in thir- teen days via New Orleans. As some compensation for the immense advantages that will thus inure to the Great Northern Railroad company, it certainly is not an unzeasonable expectation that its stock- holders will come forward liberally in support of this | undertaking. This contract assumes the eharacter of a t na- noble, pure and high-minded man than General Don Jose de la Concha dves not walk God's earth. Concha would have scorned to exce, blood | money for conniving at the abominable traffic; and so well was his character understood by the infamous wietches who by their wealth have influenced other | Captain Generals to wk at the traflic, that they did net dare even to approach him, much less tempt | Jum with propositions which would have resulted in | yheir being transported to Cueta. Your lordship will remember that Concha was recalled from Cuba in disgrace; his persecution of the slave traders was incessant, so much so that Queen Christina’s agent, who was busily engaged in forming a colossal es- tate on her Majesty's account, found it exceedingly | difficult to procure hands to work it; and this having heen represented at Madrid, at the very time that the General's (Concha’s) urgent and repeated de- mands for additional power being given to him to persecute more severely the traffickers in human be- ngs reached the government, and the report of General Pavia’s dismissal by Concha from the gov- ernment of Matanzus, for having re cath ace | cepted a large sum of money for conniving at the in- | troduction of eight hundred slaves at Camarioca, | brought from Africa by the same Antonio Capo, who, in March last, landed one thousand one hun- dred at Cardenas, climaxed Concha’s fate, and he | was recalled ina manner 80 hurriedly, that had he | Lot received a letter trom his brother, the Marquis del Duero, which reached him via Charleston, the | day previous to that of General Canedo’s arrival, the firstintimation of this recall would have been the presence of the new Captain General in the harbor of Havana. | It was knqwn in every city in Caba that General | Concha had dismiseed General Pavia from the gov- | {rege bribes of money for copatving' af the sare large 8 of mone; i ve trade.

The commissioners agen 8 by Mexico, with Judge Alfred Conkling, minister of the United Stater, on the 21st of March last signed a treaty, by which it is stipulated that the conveyance of per- sons and property on the route shall at all times be uninterrupted, aud the capital invested therein be made entirely secure. The ronte is declared neutral in case of war, and all ves- sela owned or employed by the company in the transportation of merchandise or passengers to or from the Isthmus, declared free trom capture. This treaty was formally ratified by the Mexican government; aud to set at rest the many doubts and surmises which were industriously circulated by in- terested parties, President Santa Anna nobly came forward and confirmed the whole transaction, and caused the confirmation by his government to be officially notified to the government of the United States. Thus every act has been done in the most solemn manner by the government of Mexico to validate the treaty and make it binding upon it. The treaty is now before the government of the United States for its consideration, and I have the strongest assurances that it will be approved by the administration, and that it will be submitted to the Benate at an early day of the coming for its advice and consent to ita ratification. There is no doubt of its confirmation by that poe.

A. G. S100, BUITS AGAINST A. G. SLUU FOR THE RECOVERY OF SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DULL ABS. An application was made to the Supreme Court in this city, on the 29th ult, by & de P.
