LETTER FROM OUR CONSUL GENERAL AT HAVANA. Mr. Bythe, Consul General st Havana, communicates to the State Department under date ef April 29th, a state- ment of the captare of the schooner Oortes, of New York, by the British gan boat Forward, om or about the 15th of April, about half way between Havana and Matanzas. He pays that for seme time past a number of British gunboate and large vegsels have been active im cruising for slavers om the north and south side ef the island. Many complaints have been made by American masters that espionage bas been exerewed over their vessels both annoying and inaulting 12 their character. The American brig A. A. Chapman, trading to New Urieans, was thus annoyed on her last visit to Havana. Her comander complained and expressed fears ef being pursued and boarded. Similar complaints were made a few days afer by Mr. Bimpeom, captain of the Brownsville, in the same trade. Samuel Ubersham, ef the bark Gienbura, @f Richmond, complained that ho was stopped on the ‘6th of April by the British steamer Basilisk, while on a Voyage from Amtwerp to Havana, and boarded by an efficer, who stated that he had orders from the Admiral at Jamaica to board any vessel im the neighborhood of Cuba. Several affidavits from passengers on board the schooner Cortes accompany Consul Biythe’s letter, one of whom says be was robbed by the crew ef the British gunboat, the eaptain of which was drunk. There is also the evi- dence of the seamen, sustaining the facts alleged. The documents were referred to the Committee on Foreign Re'ations. ANOTHER STATEMENT OF CAPT. LORING, OF THE WINGOLD.
