promptly, and on tie 20,h OF May, Hon. II. y.
Cfans,on was assured BY the Secretary OF State
ID. {. Calhoun) that he had forwarded 10 the Con
sui at Havana the statement Of Mr.. Blshy'S case,
with orders TO make all proper inquiries INTO It
Yet on the 9Th Of July the man remained IN pr

imprisoned is, that negro while under the tor

whether he knew aught or not 10 relieve himself
from that torture, stated that Mr.. B. had pro-

avcwed that he had told ialsehood; yet on such
