say they have made all right fight with old pezuela in havana five vessels are fitting out for the slave trade four more knore at santiago de cuba and there are four at trinidad and cienfuegos and the

mayor or custom house officers know nothing of it money is very scarce and great alarm prevails on account of the scheme which is in now known to be settled upon of the negroes who afa have been called to the different towns to receive their emancipation papers two thirds refuse to return to their masters master at all beclar declaring i i arl ill that a t I 1 now they are free and will do a

all his property on the island and take the proceeds with him it would not be wonderful if his quarrelsome feelings should abate on reaching your city where he has hai an interest in a mercantile houss house this interest may have been of some awne service to him in times past inasmuch as it gave him the opportunity like the crab to sat eat with two mouths while he was revenue officer here to
