We trust that our government will du'y show their appreciation of Mr. Robertson's conduct in this matter.

Governor Peznela knows as well as we all do here, that the Cubans of allages would destroy the Spanish government were it possible for them to do 80; consequently they are not loyal in the least. Lot these cirsumetances, you will pit the Cubans, and loathe the hyp icrisy and falseh contained in the decree. If Cuba were loyal there would not be so formidable an army here, nor would there he so ee exiles, men, women, and children, in the United States, of all ranks. I vray to Heaven to let you see the truth, and hope that God may influence your favor of these poor abused people. As for the heroes whose names are to be engraved on the pedestal, it is trae that the were the picked men of all the regiments of the Ha- in broad coteee by five armed men n horseback, who relieved some of the passengers of a plethora of doubloops, not much harm I suppoee, asin all pro- bability the money was won at the gaming table. Nevertheless, in what state are we when such thiogs can take place wih impunity! Bat, where you are thoroughly acquainted with the Spanierd you will come to the conclusion that with an army as large as that brought by Xerxes from Porsi ie would be unable to preserve peace, nor with: all the pace of the world prevent crime. Cervantes, in is inimitable work, gives the true portrait of his countrymen, being a mixture of Quixote and Sancho, and in G)} Blas you bave his moral. None of us are tov good, but still the poor Spaniard is the worst of Mell eelaitvs to tke Ee of tn New York. | avast on that account it is, 1 suppose, be considers elt a mirror of pertection. The following I take paca oue of our papers; it wil! excuse my com- ments:— bayaMo, Fin 1— Highwaymen and Bandi's —The new hea hatoly been recrives by cur worthy Lisutepaat sor e@mor, in & positive fora, were Ccing their will in Caiabezul, ia ho jurisdiction of Jiquani, when, on the ith ult. hacrdwred out to patrol the country several bodies of cavalry, givlug t> thy eap- tains of partiios strict orders to form patrols, to be me companied by thereciven, day acd nighi, to prevent them iotroc ueirg them-elva: into this territory, dictating herides wire sna weil timed niresures, foli of reetitude, ci rrerpording to ap identity of circumstavess, thus to revent them altber from entering nie territ ry or get Ung inte the eity, (oopulatt m 6,000) ia which he went the rou: ds Limtel’ every night.

Here we have no opportu- nity toappreach the truth, It may be simply an | slarm of robbers, or an outbreak of some kind. The Lieutenant Governor of Bayamo shows himeelf to be a very smart fellow, as he might bave taken other precautions to eutrap tho fellows than those to frighten them away, which would have required little more. As for the falsome, ola gravpyish adalation of the editor, I leave that to vhe reader's risiblity. A report went the rounds for a day that a person, by the iast steamerfiom New Orleans, bad been ai rested and taken vefore the Captain General for hay ing come to Havana with the intention of taking the life of thst authority. A pretty story was got up, in which many fine things were pot into the mou:h of the Governor, showing magnanimity and hero ism to a sublime degree; but as Pierre Soulé had been shot rough the head by the Duke of Alba a shor: time since, and letters cited to show the truth of the assertion, woich of coarse torned out to be a lie, I came to the conclusion that this tale about the Captain General was one in a “Tab,” particularly as everything told was so very cut and dry. After the proper inquiry it turned out, as I evrmised, to be founded on a very poor founda- tion, acd the fabrication lasted buta day. It ap- pears thata young man had a dirk, anda few letters for merchatts of this place, in his truok, for which he was carried to the guardhouse, where he was kept for some hours, when, becoming impatient, he desired to be taken before the Captain General, | to whom he gave 80 satisfactory a statement of bimeelf that tore. I bave heard a report that negroes have risen about Cardenas and to the eastward of that jarisdic- | tion, but to what extent I could not obtain informa- tion. This will require confirmation, which I may be able to give before I close this letter. In my opinion it would not require much to set the negroes on their masters, particularly as the government desires to use them agaiazt the blacks, and a few hundred whites marsacred and some ro destroyed might be considered a wholesome jesson. I fiod, by an order published, that when any ne- | gro buys a part of himself, it is to be noted in a verpment office, that the master may not tuke a vantage of his slaves. Now, with a few flannel jackets from England for the little negroes, and some warming pans forthe beds of the Mrs. Blacks, the whole family wili be weli taken care of, much to the content of that meddliog ee gentle- man, Jobn Ball, where calcniation is, that if 500,000 whites in Cuba are ruined, and 500.000 brought to starvation by freedom, he will be 9 gainer. Now, gentlemen, do not be offended, but I will make a bet with you oor ples all round for the press, that the. government it. James knows more about Cuba than that at Washington, and this I blush to say, but 80 it is, or our Congr en and the Cabinet would Lot be so indifferent at this critical time. Cuba to a chessboard, on which but a few more moves are to be made to give the game to the whites or the blacks. These aseertions are the fruits of my conviction, and time will show how correct they are. I ain a looker on in this great game, and every move I know to what it tends. Just as you are acquainted with all the affairs of your city,80 am I with those of this island. It does not require an oracle to predict, where study and experience withdraws the curtain ard allows the least act to be seen and understood. His Excellency, the Governor and Captain Gen- | eral, has found it convenient to order, that in the future no carbines or any kind of firearms or other arms sball be transported for the use of estates, without an express license from the superior authori. ty issued through thia department: To this end parties deeiriog Hosnses merial to th is office, exprersing in it the of erma, either ft ms or any other kind, ihe pisos ty are to be sent to, and the rame of the person or house of commerce ‘rom whico Db ught, which abil trform ia the reid memorial im regard to the place whence tl eame and voue> for the which by order cf bia kere: ished in the: flicial gazvtie for general f ma) Havana, Feb, 14, 18!

To establish an eqnilibriam between gold and silver, a ‘provincial money shall be made of less weight then that which iscurrentin Spain, That the silver which now is used in coining eighty pece- tas shall be coined isto eighty-4ve, and pass five to the dollar. : 3. For this purpose it is recommended to establish a mint in Coba; but should that be inconvenient, vanas, led on by the terrible General Ena. Also, it is true, that at Las Pozas General Ena, with these picked men, ell armed in every respect, was yan quished by a body of ill Awericans not ex- ceeding their own number, and on the sezond occa- tion this body, reduced to 250, although surprised by about 1, cavalry and infantry, and surround- ed, got clear, killing the General, and leaving a num- bao dead. hie ¢ Italian opera compan: at last a} red in the Tacon theatre, ving on both ocouslona on — they perfor , “I Puritani,’’ before crowded ones.
