Gov, Sea. Jbrook does sot as wo-see, brook the idea that . ttbe StsMe. trref which he has ruled, ever was After the 18th bruv frtaire, the police in order to amuse the pub lic and distract attention, tried to revive, un der a new pretext, the ancient musical and religious. pilgrimage to Longchamps. They hired carriages to drive along the Champs Elysees, the occupants dressed in a way to excite curiosity and amusement. And thus ihe start given every vear from Wednesday to Friday of Passion Week, the long proces sion of carriages and horsemen, extending from the Place de la Concorde to the Bois de B 'logne, serves as a pretext for the dis play of spring fashions, and eccentricities which would be tolerated nowhere else. This year the weather was uncertain, which made the display less "brilliant than usual. As I said before, the carriages all go up one side and down the other of the broad avenue, and no carriage is allowed to stop or leave the line except at one of the two ;ends. Police menjargensd'arms, borifer oacit. are siauonea ai smau Qiiauce io see that alt rules aid regulations are properly ob served. This year tbe most elegant and showy equipages, by far, were those belong ing jo the different actresses of note. Ka cbel's was an elegant carriage, painted in darlf-g een arid" gbld, drawn by four jet-black horses, with gilded harness: Two footmen behind, a d the coachman, were dressed in green velvei livery, faced and trimmed with gold. Rebecca (Rachel's sister) affrded as strong a contrast in her equipage as she does in her person. Her carnage was small, ligltt and open, painted in b'ue, and drawn by four snowy-whiie horses!, wi'h p'aled harnes The coachman and tootmen were io ,a live ry of blue and silver. Rebecca U young and pretty, "and has a great number of ad mi-, rem. Two of the greatest curiosities, at this sea son of the year, ii the Gingerbread fair. and, the-Hamfalr, held"6ri "Gooil Friday and the Saturday and Sunday following. You must know that the good people of Paris are ex ceedingly fond of hams, but pork is so dear that they eat a slice of ham, ocsasionally, as a very great luxury. Such a thing as a gentleman curing his own hams," Or having his own smokehouse, was never heard of here probably. Well, once a year a great air of hams, sausages, and pork of every description is held at Paris, and then the Tr ail de. 1-rs and lamihes lay in a supp'y. The fair is kept by people from all parts of ranee, and affords the best and most curious spectacle of the manners, customs, and ass umes . of the different provinces. ; Therp may be seen the Pica;dy women, with their snowy caps at least two feet high, and the iSormandy 'women, with two stiff white mus- in wings floating from the sides of their heads, and the Anvergnots, and the Bourgog nese, with cap crowns measuring two or three feet in Circumference, and their short red pettico ts, li 1 tie stiff jacktets, and wooden shoes, giving them the most picturesque air an iiie world- The Gingerbread fair is similar to the Ham fair, but is mostly made up by the Parisians The French are exceedidgly fond of ginger bread, but 1 must say, they cannot make it as that made in the United States. The molasess is very bad here, and a great deal of honey is used instead, which make the cake exceedingly tough. One booth at the fair was kept by a woman who sold ginger bread, cut into all. sorts of forms. There were men and women almost the size of life, and gigantic cats and dogs, and horses and cows, and sheep, and every thing in fact. Her customers were mostly children, who were highly delighted with the display she made. Coming down through the Champs Elysees, after visi ing the fair, I stopped to see some ot the numerous shows, which are in full - operation : during the holy days. found myself at last within a circle -where an Arab was showing off with seven or eight great serpents. I wanted to turn and go away but the crowd hd bcomv-rreat, ! that 1 found I could not move,, and was obliged to remain a witness of certainly one of the most curious and frightful spectacles ever offered to the public. The snake charmer was sea ted on the, ground r after the fashion of this country, with his snakes all around him ; two or three of hem "-weW-of the most enormous S:ze, almosf as large as a Cull grown boa. He would take them-op in hishands, let them wind around his legs, arms.body, neck, and head stick otit their ferked tongues and kiss him on the hands, the lips, the eyelids, and. present their heads arid tails to him, as he commanded them.- While the spectacle was proceeding in the mdst ' successful way, t.,M;.i ha. ih rnnisb press, hurled is gainst C6ba, the thmtf tdiivf rting the Is- alavefcftad.Uttchaiijng against her th hordes Public are the.tmpedimenw u, the social arid political condition ot a people can-be indefinitely proloned in which man strippert of all rights lhl guaran.teeJ ; with o security of persOn, or property,, no enjoy ment in the present, no. hope in the future lives only by the will, and under the con ditions imposed by the pleasure of his tyrants, where a vie calumny, a prisoner's denuncia tion, a despot's suspicion, a word caught up by surprise in the sanctuary of home, or from the violated privacy.of a leiter, furnishes ample grounds for tearing a man from his heart h, and casting him forth to die of destitution,-or despair in a foreign soil, if he es capes being subjected to the insultirjg forms of a barbarous and arbitrary tribunal, where his persecutors are themselves, the judges who condemn him ' and where instead. ol their proving his offence, he . is required to prove his innocence. - . ... a. t A situation so violent as this uuba has now. been Tor many years enduring; and far from atry 4nomise of remedy appearing, every day adds new proof that theJoolicv of the mother-country, &d the ferocity of her rulers, will gram neither truce nor rest till she is. reduced to thecondition of an immense prison, where every Cuban will be watched by a guaid, and will have to pav that guard for watching him In vain have this people exhibited a mildness, a prudence, and even a submission and loyalty, which have been proverbial. When the iniquity of the government has not been able to find any ostensible grounds for persecution, it has had recourse to cow ardly arts and snares to tempt its victims into gome offence. Thus were various individuals of Matanzas entrapped into an ambuscade of soldiery, by the pretext ol selling them some arms, under circumstances which made them believe those arms were necessary for self defence against threatened attacks from the Peninsulars. Thus have sergeants, and even officeis.been seen to mingle amo igthe coun try people, and pass themselves off as ene mies of the government, for the purpose of betraying them into avowals of ibeir penti ments, to ifie ruin of many persons ndln for med against, as well as to the disgrace of military hono on the part of those who have lent themselves to so villainous a service. If the sons of Cuba, moved by thedread of grater evi's, have ever determined to em ploy legitimate means of imposing some law, or some restraint, upon the unbridled exces ses of their rulers, these letters have always found the way to distort such acts into at tempts at rebellion. j For having dared to give utterance to prin ciples and opinions, which, to other nations constitute ihe foundation of thHr mortal pro gress and glory, the Cubans most distinguish ed for their virtues and 'talents have found themselves wanderers and t-xiles. For the offence of having exhibited their opposition to the unlawful and perilous slave trade, from which the avarice of General O Donnell pro mised itself so rich a harvet of lucre, the lat ter satiated his resentment with the monstrous vengeance of involving them in charge of conspiracy with the free colored people and the slaves of the estates: endeavoring, as the last outrage that an immortal government could offer to law, to reason, or to nature, to strain; fiiti place, to iSlace, 'mLA (mm ;iiiViff Krancft of industry 1 j i-.r- Trr(t und fine, fof no opo veins wis i'''vtT" ' " . som."cflccvferior . iicehse, at every "te.l!JH.l4.nvi y PaUic:re:the tajitochhave wasjed away the substance of ihe Wand and the prcHWti -wwier new ones, jwnrcir uirwcu to abolishrallJ tbe products of its riches nothing being heft for i s'peoplef but the toils to produce them.

The fact that the corporation -of Puet to Pr in. cipe, with the authorization of the Governor who presided over it, addressed to the Queen a mempriaHb the effect. .that the royal court (audience) shall not oe suppressed in that dis trict, gave rise to ihe removal of the mem bers of the corporation-from office, and to the unheard of that ideclarrfdh, in wh'Ch, to the increase of ihe"ootrae, it added (hat the gov eminent is not bouod in its proceedings to consult the opinions and interests of the country. Ou'rages so great and so frequent, reasons so many and so strong, suffice not merely to justify, but to sanctify, in the eyes oi tne whole World, the cause of the independence of Cuba and any effort of her people, by j their own exertions, or with friendly aid from j abroad to put an end to the evils they suffer and secure the rights with which God and nature have invested man. Who will in Cuba oppose this indefeasible instinct, this imperative necessity of defend ing your property, and of seeing in the in stitutions of a just, fiee and regulated gov ernment, that welfare and security which are the conditions on which alone civilized" society can exist? The Peninsulars (natives of Spain) perhaps who have come to Cuba to marry our daugh tinTrw1ionavte;lrB''ttter)rchirdren,their af fections and their property, will they disre gard the laws ot natuie to range themselves on tbe side ofa government which oppress es them as it oppresses us, and which will neither thank them-for their service, nor be j able with all their help, to prevent the tri I umphof the independence of Cuba? Aie not they as intimately bound up with the happiness nd interest of Cuba as those j blood natives of her soil, who will never b able to deny the name of their fathers, and who, in rising up to day against the despot ism of the government, would wish to count upon their co-operation as the best guatan ty of their new social organiza ion, tnd the strongest proof of the justice of their cause? Have they not fought in the Peninsula it self, fos their national, independence, for the support of the same principles for which we. the sens of Cuba proclaim, and which, being the same for men in all countries, cannot be admitted in one and rejected in another wi1 fl out doing treason td na tire and to the light of reason, from which they spring? No, no it cannot be that they should car ry submissiveness to the point of preferring their own ruin, and the spiling of the blood f.,l if nut trensrth.

In the meantime, our townsman, Mr. S. S. Jen nings, had pid some attention to the matter. He proceeded to Virginia lat year, and examined the records of Elizabeth City conniy court, found tha his great-great-great-grandfatber was this same Charles Jennings. In 1(581, he was clerk of the court of that county, and in the Land Office at Richmond, Va ,a patent of land was foa nd gran ting to hi.n and Mary, his wile, 143 acres of.laad, as emigra ts from England to the Colony of Va. The patent was issued in 1699, and signed by Gov. Nicholson, and witnessed by Ii.. Jennings, Deputy Secretary . By pursuing this line down, our townsman found that hi great-grandfather was the grand father of this said Charles; and the proofs of this have been substantiated and authenticated in such ;i way as to leave no flaw in the chain. The whole is complete, and has been certified by the highest authorities in the country, both State and Federal These verification we learn, Mr. Jennings has in his posesien and is willing to exhibit them to any one interested in the matter. - : VW think from the evidence accumulated by Mr. Jei.ning?, that there is hardly a doubt ttift his family has the legal right to this immense estate What proof is necessary for tracing his 'line to England has already been fully obtained; and it only remains monev, but with such inducements -as he possesses, no great difficulty, weshould sup pose, would be encountered in this n spect.

The wretched slaves saw their flesh torn from them under the lash, and bespattered with blood the faces of iheir executioners, who did not cease ex acting from their tortured denunciations a gainst accomplices. Others were shot in platoons, without form of trial, and without even coming to understand the pretext under which they were massacred. Ibe free colored people, afterhavtnsr been first lacerated by the lash, were then hur ried to tbe scaffold, and those only escaped "tja a a a ' wnn hip wno had gold enough to appease the fury of their executioners. And never theless, when the government or i's follow ers, has come to fear some rising of the Cu bans, their nrst threat has been that of arm ing the colored people against them for their extermination. We abstain, for very shame, from r?pea'ing the senseless pretences to which thev have had recourse to terrify the timid. Wretches! how have they been a ble to imagine that the victims of their fury, with whom the whites of Cuba have shared in common the horrors of misery and perse cution, will turn against their own friends at th call of the very tyrant who has torn them in pieces ? If the free colored peo ple, who know their interest as well as the whites, take any part in the movement of Cuba, it cerla:nly will not be to the injury of the mother who shelters thenri in her bosom nor of those other tons of hers whd have never made them feel the differeoci.of their race siod .who, far. from .plundering them, have taken pride in being their defenders, and in meriting thelitle of Iheir benefactors. The world would refuse to 1eKeve the tmtory of Jhe horrid crimes which have been 80 sters could so long have been men to endure them But if there ae a few able to penetrate to the truth of p articular facts, through all the means employed by the government to ob scure and distort them, no one will resist the evidence of public and official facts. Publicly, and with arms in his hands, did Gen. Tacen despoil Cuba of the Constitu tion of Spain, proclaimed by all the powers of the monarchy, and sent to in Cuba of the fundamental law of the whole kingdom. Publicly, and by legislative act, was Cu ba declared to be deprived pf all the rizhts : ii v.. 1 1 o : f yuyeuy u ijpaniaras, ana conceded b nature antfhe Jaws of nations the least a known very well that the sons ol Cuba regard them with personal aflection have never failed to recognise the interest and reciprocal wants which unite the two nor have ever held i hem responsible for the peiverseness of the few, and for the iniquities of a government ' whose infernal policy alone has labored to separate them, on the ly rant's familiar max im to divide and conquer. We w ho proceed io good fa ilh, and with the noble, ambition earning the applause of the world for the-justice of cur acta we surely cannotVtm at the destruction of our brothers, nor at the usurpation of their proper ties; and far from meriting that vile calumny which the government will endeavor to fas ten upon us, we do nol he.-itate to swear, in the sight of God and of mao, nothing would better accord with the wishes of our hearts, or with the tlory and happiness of our coun try than the co-operation ofthe Peninsu'ars in the secret work of liberation. United with them, we could realise that idea of entire in dependence which is a pleasing one to their own minds; but if they present themselves m our way a enemies, we shall not be able to answer for the secuuty of their persons and properties, nor. when adventuring alt for tbe main object of the liberty pf Cuba, shall we be able to renounce any means of effecting it. But if we have all these rr-ason? to expect that the Peninsular who are in no wise de pendent on the government, and whojare so bound up with, the fate pf C.ubat will at least remain hetJqCkeupjd Jhat we can prptiyse ourselves the same .conduct pn the part of tharfny,. the individuals com posing whicK without this or affectios, know no other law nor consideration than the will of theteommander.

In all parts of the country there daily spring op claimants for the large Jennings estate which lies io Bngl-tnd, inviting some hicky fellow to lake possession of it. In our own State there a re a number of bidders for ike golden prize. We trust that some of them may torn out to be the "true men" although ihe Mobile Herald, Horn whence we g nlier the following interesting staie- ment, seems to think that the lucky holder of the prize ticket is to bi found in Mobile. yesterd-ty'a limes, in publishing the Mobile Herald's article, says : Our friend, Gen. Cabell, of Danville, who has been acting for some of the Virginia Jenninse, about a year ago examined the old records of Eli zbelh City County, and, if his researches did not develop the facts now slated by the Mobile paper, he certainly discovered evidence that satisfied him of his having identified one of the lines of Ameri can Jennings as are entitled to the English fortune. (trom the Mobile Herald) Wm. Jennings, who left the principal of it, was an old mwer, who look great pleasure in accumu lating. He was b rn sometime about 1700. and died in 1798, leaving no issue or intestate. The following is said to be a correct list of his effects : South Sea Stock .30,000 fiit'st in arrears .3.725 Do New Do 30.000 " " " .7.650 .

The whole value orthts property ii 1848, accor ding to English authority, exceeded 8.000.000. or more than $40,000000- sum which would roake itj possessor, we imagine, the richest man in t .
