Our Cuban Correspondence, Havana, May 16, 1864. Vice Regal Amusements—A Spanish Bull Bait—Coming Events Cast their Shadows Before—Arrival of Two French Vesself of War—Exultation of the Spanish Ofi- | cials—French Intervention, and the Necessity of Speedy Action on the part of our Government. Yesterday being Sunday, we indulged ourselves in the luxury of a bull baiting, in company with the Test of the dignity of Cuba. The Marquis Pezuela and lady, full of loveliness and charms for every one ‘that comes within her mesmeric circle, were giving sanction by their presence to the scenes of scientific or artistic butchery that were be’ng enacted for the amusement of the rabble belbw them. \ We cannot say here that the diversion is not re- fined, and consistent with the exquisite delicacy of female sentiment and taste, when the “upper” one of our social s*ate lends her sweet counte- nance to the exhibition. Three horse skeletons were killed by the infuriated bulls; one picadore was badly hurt, and one bull, christened the “ Yankee,” for his disinclination to fight, was graciously permit- ted to escape by vice-regal clemency, with a rope about his neck; and others—by my computation, five—were duly administered upon with the sword of the “ principal knife,” and their agony of the death moment duly smiled over by those whose hearts are filled with love, and the charity that covers a mul- titude of sins—and that have them to cover. One bull, among the pleasing varieties catered for our amusement, was beset by eight dogs of the mastiff bull stock, making a scene unequalled in my recollection; and when the agony of the poor brute had been sufficiently enjoyed by the other brutes, on a signal from the uperior brute master of ceremonies near the vice-regal box, he was consigned to the k yro, who took five thrusts to accomplish the re- herche butchery. Two others, after a tournament feason with the “ picadores,” on the bone racks of es in th ay, Were tormented : thrust about the loding very much é’s diplomacy at Madrid, but with more noise, as the detonations were quite of the revolver volume. Two had more simple treatment, with the ordinary torments of the ornamented arrews stuck about the neck of the beasts, until public expectation and enjoym&nt were satisfied, when they were killed at the usual signal, } and without any more lingering process by youths unpractised in their delicate pro ion—and with cheers, and “ done” tothe good and faithful servants of our pleasure, we retired with the most holy and Chris timents warming our hearts and elevating our minds, in preparation for oracion —the evening offic f prayer and thanks for the blessings of the day—of which the scene just passed, being the most bloody, was therefore the most ac- ceptable, in due process of our religious experience and cultivation ofthe pure sentiments of our holy Catholic faith. I do not propose going again to this receptacle of iniquity, made respectable “by being shone” upon by the loveliest purity of our society, as I feel that it calls into too active exercise the bad fea- tures of my good nature. The premonition of French interference with our Cuban affairs was given yesterday by the appearance in tke offing of Havana of two French vessels of war-—a_ frigate and steamer—which entered port at 2 o'clock P.M. —the frigate Iphigenia, and the war steamer Octeon. Going up the harbor, the frigate got out of the. track and touched her keel to the ground, just op- posite the vice-imperial palace. She was got off in the course of an hour by stretching a ha’ toa friendly Yankee chain—xlways ready to assist the digtressed. . "The official part of the population are in eesta- cies, and the allies are grected with more powé although the article of good quality is scarce; et our peighbors—the yarbarians of the north” — will pour in a supply in a few days, so that Spanish and negro chivalry will have noexcuse for not having a good fight when the time comes, for which they have been se long waiting with anxiety to display the unimpaired elasticity of Toledo steel, and the proof of their manhood, their bulwarks and their metal, in vindication of national honor and the maintenance of national glory in the west, where the last thread is broken.
