American Seamen.—We learn by an extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas A. Rodney, United States Consul in Cuba, to Mr. Secretary Clay, dated at Havana, February 4, 1826, that the day before, Mr. B. had the pleasure to effect the release from prison of the remaining part of the crew of brig Noble, viz.—Bruce, Perry, Armstrong White and Thomas Young. The brig Noble belongs to this port. Her crew were committed to prison at Havana, we believe in 1824, for the alleged murder of a slave; and have been repeatedly mentioned in the American papers, as being immolated in a dungeon at Havana.—Boston Statesman.
