The entire 'American' importation then dfd not exceed 3500 yearly , and- tbo people of Cuba, Oc cupied exelasively in raising cattle, received a very few. During the war of the succession, the French traderyisited Havana, exchanging slaves for tobacco. The possession of the Island bv the English, stimulated somewhat the importation of negroes; yet, ia T753, although .'the capture of Havana and tbo presence of foreigners, created new wants, the number of slaves did not exceed 25,000 in that district, and 32,000 in the, whole island. i 1.- . . .
