The Gasde Oficial vow reproduces said order, containing full details of said property, The fact is that the home government is vory much in want of money, and will do its utmost to make available all its resources, PARROT GUNS IN CURA. ‘Tho landing effected in this port, a few daysago, of three Parrot rifled guns, of ton inch calibre apd four hundred pounds shot, brought by an American vessel from the United States, and destined for the Morro Castle bat- tories, where they will be mounted in a fow days, has elicited considerable attention, The Cubans, particularly, admire the anglicized system of neutrality of Mr. Sccre- tary Seward by refusing the Chilians and Peruvians the Privilege to take away any contraband of war, and fur- nishing tho same to the Spaniards. The only consola- tion they have is the “high idea’ that the Americans supply the guns in order to have, some day or other, the Pleasure of knocking them down again. Tacy pro- nounce the proceeding very English-like, and quite kind of Mr. Seward. The guns will undorgo the necessary “proofs’’ in a few days, in accordance with the terms of tho purchase. SPAIN AND THE SLAVS AND COOUIR TRADW. ‘Tho Spanish papers from Madrid have been so kind as to inform thoir readers that the government was in- formed by its Consul at Sierra Leone that the siave trade had diminished thereabouts in ‘a moat extruordi- pary manner,”? Query—When will the Consul have the kindness to inform us that the abominable trafic has totally ceased on the part of the Spaniards, who are now tho only slave traders existing ? We can answer the question ourselves, better, per- haps, than the Spanish Consul at Sierra Leone, The coolie “trade” ia a very lucrative one. The risk Is leas, and, in the long run, the profits are greater. Therefore, and perhaps for no better reason, the nigger trade will die out by itself sooner than would have been the caso under any other circumstancos, although finally it would inevitably have come to a dead stand. By ad- vices received here from Macao, to the 11th of July, we know that the treaty between the Spanish and Chinese governments, for the purpose of introducing ‘colo- nists” into this island, had beon ratified. The Spanish Minister was then only waiting for the necessary in- structions from his government befure he proceeded to Pekin. The embarkation of Chinese coolies must be carried on very actively, for the arrivals are continuous. From a rough estimate I calculate that by the end of the year upwards of twenty thousand of these coolios will have arrived since the first of January. The actual Rov. L. D.

Mr. Franz Hilgost, the gentleman alluded to in a pre- vious letter as having bren imprisoned in the Punta Castle on the plea of suspicious ciroumstances and tho ‘use of indecorous language derogatory te the Spapish mation (such was the charge upon which he was arrested), is a young man of propossessing appearance, 4 native of Coblentz, but an American citizen who served in a Massa- I chusetts regiment during the late war. He came as i passenger tn the American schooner Clara Brown, from Boston. It appears that while in quarantine at Mariel, where most probably he did not keep in anything like equanimity, he got inte the mood so common to Ger- mans of making notes and perhaps using some harab terms with regard to Spaniards and all that ts Spanish, When released from quarantine, the first article among his luggage causing suspicion was a formidable carbine found in his trunk, and thon when his papers were ex- amined, low and behold, ont came tho portentous and voluminous “Notes on Cuba and the Spaniards,” Bo- sides, a “German from America” will generally be more boisterous in any country (ainted with political restrictions than two Ameri¢ans—and such baving been the case with the gentleman in question, you can easily imagine that he was immediately a marked man, against whom the lice could show their officiousness with impunity. jut the Consulate was not invoked in vain, as an official despatch was at once sent to the Captain General, acquainting hia Excellency with the fact of the imprison- ment of an American citizen, accompanied with a most remptory “hope” that the ease should be immediately jooked into and the gen'leman released from confinement. Beforo three days passed, the gentleman was released and ‘an aten‘o reply given by the Captain General to the Act- ing Consul for the United States of America; who soon alter went on board the Winooskt, with a salute of nine guns. I alrnost believe, that had the reply from the Captain General not arrived go soon, the Acting Consul would have presented himself personally to the General, accompanied with Commander Cooper, to demand the immediate release of the American citizen in question. Captain Adams of the steamship Morro Castle, was charged $136 {for four visits of the doctor, sent on board by the Health Office, on behalf of a young sae who arrived in a precarions state of paralysis and di ‘on board before the vessel got out of quarantine—sa.d charge, of course, was independent of $17 daily tee charged by the Sanitary Board. ‘THR QUARANTINE APFATR. Everybody says that our merchants are so dilatory about this abominable qnarantine tyranny, tbat the Board will fondly continue to cling to it for an indofluite time, unless Sefior show! be considerate evongh to notify the Captain General that the “cholera” has taken French leave of New York. His Exvellency will most certainiy not interfere in thie matter without the approval of the Board, until hoe gete the report ojicio trom the Spanish Minister at Washington. People may well co “What an immense injury hus been done by the Spanish Consul in Philadelphia by that officions communication whoreby he announced two cases of * * @ diarrhoa! he deserves to get one-half the spoils.” 1 am myrelf persuaded that had he sappressed that com- munication, no quaranting resirictions would ever have boen thought of, Havana, opt. 29, 1866. An awfai fire broke out on the 27th inst, at one O'clock in the night, at the wholesale grocery store of Troteha, Fornaquera & Co, The entire building, occupsy- ing the principal part of the old eoifee house of the “Lonja” in O'Reilly street, facing the east side of the palace, tozethor with all its contents, was ‘totally de- stroyed. The Joss is variously estimated at from $90,000 to $130,000. $50,000 is insured in the Northern Aseur- ance Company, through one of the agencies here. ‘The books in the iron safe, und from $16,000 to $20,000 on hand, were suved. The fire was diseovered by one of the sentinels on duty before the Treasury, and, his calls not receiving any reply, he battered down the street door, and thus saved the inmates from a certain death, ‘DWecause the conflagration increased #0 rapidly that some of them had to get over the roofs, and In two hours the whole house was in a complete blaze, and all destroyed. Being tn 20 prominent @ part of the city, and fears being entertained that the fierce element might communicate wtb the palace, an unusual foree of firemen had gathered there from all purts, including the crews of the ships of war in the barbor, the mes from the arsenal, the artillery and the soldier from the barracks.

W., Oct. 3, 1866. ‘The Fenian troubles have not furthered the cause ef annexation with the mass of the Canadian people. There are many who percoive that the political connection with England was the inspiring motive which hurled the Fen:an bolta upon them, and that in the event of annexa. tion they could have neither war regular or irregular; but on the other hand the mass confeund the Fenian enemy more or loss with the whole American people and government, and have in numberless cases fallen into the vulgar mistake that the people of the United States are commencing Canadian subjugation. The ignorant and siupid press of the country almost uni ersally biunder inte the same or scaféely leas ridicalons errors, intentionally or other. wise, and the consequence is that a fecling of repugnance to the American people and government has been gain- ing cround and almost crushed the voices of the detend- ers of the American policy and smothered that liberal and enlightened party. But a reaction from tl i state of things will assuredly come when the Feaian vasion bughear is removed, and more moderate ideas take the piace of the present extravagant notions of the people, and when the national interest is more clearly and generally understood ; and then there is good reason to believe that an annexation party will arise, which before many years elapse wilt have the honor of consolidating nation extending from the north pole to the Rio Grande, and whose infliu- ence and power will be the theme of the sage and the wonder of the world. This may seem like romancing, but let any circumstance occur which will be the means of annexing any one of the British American provinces to the Union and the annexation of the rest would follow almost as rapidly as shots could be fired from a revolver. And is such @ circumstance bg goes or even itapro- bable? Not by any means. y could be specified as Itkely to arise, but one ie enouzh, Let France and Eng- land or England aud any naval power become engaged in war, then the provinces which have a large mercan- tile marine would be liable to have their commerce crippled and hunted from the seas, simply because they bore the English flag Would they endure such a state of things? If sot are more loyal than even Don Quixote was to the principles of knight er- rantry. This ia a view of the case which isscldom taken rt it is well for every one interested to bear in mind.
