A letter from a gentleman of St. Mary's to his friend in Charleston, dated 29th July, contains the following distressing intelligence.
All the property belonging to the French people who reside in Havanna, has been seized upon without mercy or exception. They are ordered in the most tyrannical manner, instantly to quit the place-and their property of course is left to the generosity of the Spanish Government. The sufferings of individuals of youth and old age, I am incapable of describing. This is the "legitimate" proceeding of a "religious government."
