Yesterday arrived ,her jrom Batavano (a snull port in Cuba) the " ship Eliza, Captain fcvans, of this port." "r The capture, plunder, and detention of this shin and careo, says a letter from a re- sntcfible character in Cuba " will give you some idea of the abuses and impositions uptn our trade in this. Island, which are beyond conception, and no person can have a just i tlea of .them, without b;mg here. We haveliad the perusal of Captain Evan's nrotest made before the Amevican Consul at llaaiinah, or which the following is a short sketch, and in which "it will be seen that it is not .the lawleis deoredtttions of pirates, that are complained of, but the acts of the Officer of.the Spanish Government, from the Chuf to li e lowest. The Rliaa was captured on the 27lhFebu ary. in prosecution of a voyage from Jamaica to this port, ihe Captain and part ot ine crew : were put tn shore, upon an uninhabited lsl- ; and. from vience they gut to Uavanna, af- i tir exnt'riencinir many hard&liips, and being ; irexpoocd to the danger of perishing for want "nflhod. The sdiioand th(i remainder of the vrew, were taken into the above mentioned Oft of Batavano. ' , ; A few day after Captain Evans got -to ' ll.iv-;mnaii he met tne person wuu was uuiuu board hi ship as Prize. Master; this person inior'med, that the 'Master of the. privateer convinced that the ship could not be made a prize, had, to avoid prosecution, gone oft'; and thr.t his ship was in possession of some Frenchmen and Spaniard. The Priae Mas ler,"tlic same" T'mteptp"ver tip to Captain E- vans,, the bhips papers, that were in his pos session. ' . Upon this information, Captain Evans pre sented a memorial to the Captain-General of tne iManu, inwnicn ne siaicu ins case, ana prayed that he might have an order for the restitution of his vessel and cargo. To this memoiiul, no answer was given In a few days after, Captain Evans presented another memorial to the Captain-General, in which he recapitulated the subject of his former, and stated in addition,' that the part of the crew which had been detained on board the ship, en confined as prisoners, and we're sulTcr for n.'ccssaries that the vessel and car go were daily plundered, St the whole would, in a shirt time, be lo.t. lo this memorial, no answer was given. Upon this Captain Evans proceeded to liatavano, where he was fully informed of the buffering of his people, and the .ih-pixdations on the vcusiLend cargo. No sooner ws the Commandant of the place, informed ttsut Captain Evans was there, than he oidered him to leave the place in uiiily wit host permitting him to bee his people, or go on board his ship. As this or tier was backed with a threat of imprisonment, in case of disobedience, Captain Evans was o bh;c1 tort turn to llaviimi, where he remain ed until the 20th June ; when by his own, &. the imceain,r efforts of Mr. Gray, the late, and Mr. Hill (lie present Consul, he procu red an f.rder for (he restitution of the vessel andorgo When Captain Evans pot pos-aes-don, he found one third of the Cargo (o rijinally 130 puncheons of Horn,) had been plundered. The ship had been snipped of her Boats, Anchors, Cables, and Kunnin-; .itin, wi?h ote half of her oils dri-; ad dition li all this, the M;istci of the privateer, had contracted a debt cl thout 9i't dollar, wiiivh the Commandant compelled Capuiit l'.vtns to satisfy, befj"X'hc woild permit him todej-iif.
