By letters from St. Jago de Cuba, of a late date, we learn, that a number of houses belonging to the French inhabitants of that place had been recently set on fire and destroyed; and that in spite of the utmost vigilance of the governor and inhabitants to put a stop to these outrages, and to discover the perpetrators, four houses were burnt on the 31st June. One of these letters, dated the 23d, says, "For two days past I have been guarding my property night and day. We are in a dreadful situation. Three times to day have the different quarters of the city occupied by the French been set on fire. We know not what will become of us, if these ravages continue; the governor of St. Jago, uses every exertion to put a stop to them."
