Letters from Havannah mention, that an insurrection had broken out

in the eastern part of the island of Cuba, and that the Con- stitution of 1812 had been proclaimed. Troops had been sent from Havannah against the insurgents ; and it was probable that tranquillity would soon be restored ; as the Cuba planters and merchants desire nothing so much as permission to raise and sell sugar and cotter) in peace, and are utterly regardless of political liberty. To them the existing Government is the best in the world ; for it winks at smuggling, encourages the trade in slaves, and is careful not to impose heavy taxes on the wealthy inhabitants.
