THE SLAVE TRADE IN CUBA.—The slave trade flourishes amazingly. I have heard of four or five cargoes of Bozal negroes having been landed since I last wrote you; the last but one, beyond Trinidad de Cuba, six hundred in number, has been seized by Brigadier Morales de Rada, who happened to be in that vicinity, and who also made prisoners of all the parties concerned in the landing. They, with the Africans, are now on their way to this city. This, certainly, has the appearance of an attempt to put a stop to the African slave trade. The last cargo of Bozals was landed on a quay near Santa Cruz. It had been found impossible to effect their landing, without detection, on the main land of this island, and so they were landed on the quay. There is an improbable report that the steamship Pajaro del Oceano, (Ocean Bird,) now in this harbor, is being fitted up for a trip to the Atlantic coast. She would carry from fourteen to sixteen hundred negroes, and with her unrivaled speed could bid defiance to any British cruiser afloat. Three more American vessels have been sold to the Spaniards, and will most probably be employed in the slave trade. Two have already sailed with a "sea-letter," under the United States flag.
