IN consequence of the great number of complaints which
have for a long time been made bj UutigrauU, of frauds
committed upon them in the sending of *?ouev to their
friends in Ireland, and to aid and pro Wot the Emigrant,
the Irish Emigrant Society established a fund, deposited
In the Bank of Ireland, upon which they draw draft*,
payable at sight, at any of the branches of the Bank.
Persona residing out of the city, by enclosing In a letter
the sum they wish forwarded, with the plainly written
direction to whom and where It U to be paid, will hare the
sauie remitted
There is a great advantage in purchasing the Society e
drafts?that the Bunk has a branch In each of the princi
pal towns In Ireland, and thus the losses by discount, and
otherwise, are avoided.
The Society keeps an office at No. 22 Spruce street, to
which Emigrant* can apply to obtain situations for which
they are fitted. ,
Orders from employers in the country, stating the ser
vices required, the wages, and the cheapest modes of con
veyance, and giving a respectable reference, will meet with
prompt attention.
The Society will be thankful for all circumstantial and
early information of any fraud, imposition, or outrage
committed on Emigrants, and will endeavor speedily to
apply a remedy. GREGORY DILLON, President.

AMERICAN TEI^G R APH
The Amerlcau Consul at Havana.
Having copied into our columns many allu
sions to the conduct of this gentleman on the
occasion of the execution of half a hundred of
his countrymen, and subsequently, wo deem it
no more than just to give place to his defence,
as follows:
[From the Republic of this morning.]
OUR CONSUL AT HAVANA.
We have received the following letter from
Allen F. Owen, esq., our Consul at Havana,
and submit it without comment to the consid
eration of his countrymen:
Consulate o? the "United States, 1
Havana, September 16, 1861. J
To the Editor of the Republic.
Sir: In your weekly issue of the 28th ult.,
you do me tho justice to object to my condem
nation without a hearing, and to say that I am
probably able to explain, to the satisfaction of
my countrymen, my omission to act relative to
I the execution of the prisoners who were shot
here on the 16th ult.
I do not doubt that I shall satisfy every im
partial mind that I am undeserving censure,
and that I had no opportunity of doing any
thing in behalf of the unfortunate men who met
so sad a fate.
I reside about four miles from this place, and
not being well on the morning of the 16th, did
not reach my oftiee till some time after ten
o'clock, where, for the first time, I heard of the
I capture of about fifty of the men who had
come with Lopet to this island in the steamer
Pampero. I at the same time heard that the
prisoners bad been tried, found guilty, con
demued, ordered to be executed, the order for
their execution sent forward, and that they
were about being removed from the harbor,
where they were, to the place of execution.
Shortly afterwards, the American residing
here, who, it is said, called on me, came and
mentioned the subject to me, when I said to
him that it was too late, and that I could do
nothing; that I should not have time to get
permismon and see the prisoners. Of this I
felt perfectly satisfied at the time, and I have
since been confirmed in this opinion by the
highest authority in the island, who informed
me that the exeoution, which had already been
ordered before I reached .the city, would not
have been postponed for me to have an inter
view with the prisoners, inasmuch as all I oould
have asked to be permitted to do had already
been done by a gentleman known to some of
the prisoners, and for whom they had sent.
Soon after the American referred to left my
office, 1 received the information that a gentlo
man known to some of the prisoners had been
sent for by them, and to him they had delivered
the articles and messages they desired to be
conveyed to their friends. It was but a short
time afterwards that I sent to the palaco of the
Governor and Captain General, and beard that
the prisoners had then been executed.
You will thus seft that I had no time to act,
and that it was not in my power to do any
thing for the unfortnnate men who had been
induced to invade Cuba with the expectation
that they would find the whole island in a state
of revolution, and that they would be received
with open arms by the whole native population
at lca?t.
The charge of indiffcrcnce to the dreadful
condition of such a number of men, the bitter
est enemy I have on earth will not believe; and
all must believe it a base falsehood and an un
founded calumny.
If it were allowable on such an occasion, I
would most solemnly declare before God that,
in my judgment, at the time and under the cir
cumstances, it was not in my power either to
have an interview with the prisoners, or to
have done any thing on their behalf.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, A. F. Owen.
We purpose making a few comments here,
taking his paragraphs in consecutive order.
1. We have invariably refrained from com
menting upon Mr. Owen's conduct, in the
hope that he would be able to explain, to the
satisfaction of his countrymen, his omission tc
act, &c.
2. Upon reading his defence we do not feel
ao free from doubt on thi^Bubject.
8. This paragraph is ridiculous and absurd.
The times were exciting; all Cuba was alarmed;
the Cuban military in large numbers were in
pursuit of the Americans; their arrest was
hourly expectcd; and sick or well, the American
Consul should have been in Havana at all hours,
prepared to act in a moment, should an emer
gency arise. But since ho did not choose to
do so, is it possible that ho had no person in
his employ, no friend, no one to repair to him
promptly with the information ? Is it possible
that no American or other person at Havana
thought of summoning the American Consul at
a moment when the lives of fifty of his country
men were to be summarily sacrificed? Did the
authorities and the people of Cuba hold him in
such contempt as totally to forget that our
country had a representative at Havana ? Wafi
there another person within ten miles of Ha
vana who did not know of the wonderful events
in progress there? It all looks Improbable.
But, on arriving in town at ton o'clock, he heard
that " the prisoners had been tried, found
guilty, condemned, ordered to be executed, the
order for their execution sent forward, and that
they were about being removod from the harbor
where they were, to the place of execution."
Now, we admit that this was tolerably hurried
work, though some of our most moral and ele
vated contemporaries are shocked at our saying
so. Hut let us proceed.
4. His excuse for not acting then was, that
it was too late; but he has the shameless effront
ery to acknowledge that he made no effort what
ever to tee the prisoners. If this be a dc/ence of
Mr. Owen by himself, we would like to sec so
wonderful a story us his confession would prove!
5. Ho tells us: "It was but a short time
afterwards that I sent to the palace of tho Gov
ernor and Captain General, and heard that the
prisoners had then been executed 1" Now this
is too despicably drivelling and contemptible!
Twenty thousand soldiers and Creoles had wit
nessed the butchery of fifty-two brave, gallant,
and worthy men ; their remains had been dealt
with as though they were so many slaughtered
swine; the populace and soldiery of Havanu
were gloating over the infernal scene ; the
streets of the city were thronged with triumph
ant demons, carrying trophic in their bauds;
"joy pervaded all classes," as the Spanish ac
counts assured us; and yet it was then that
the American Contul sent to the palace, and
learned that the prisoners had been executed! 1!
6. This is a triumphant conclusion from the
foregoing facts!
7. The charge of indifference is a falsehood 1
and a calumny! Of course it is. Who now
dare say otherwise? Have we not the proofs
of the utmost concern, of the most active pa
triotism, benevolence, and humanity ?
8. He fills the measure of his infamy, and
casts himself into a still lower pit of loath
some debasement, by daring to solemnly de
clare before God that it was not in his power to
have an interview with the prisoners, "or to
have done any thing on their behalf."
This defence by Mr. Owen of himself is all
that was needed to prove him guilty of con
duct so vile and base as to render him worthy
the execrations of his countrymen and of man
kind. He is either the most abject and craven
of men, or the most docile and pliant tool that
ever obeyed a master's behests. There are
proofs of this, and they shall be given.
Let us first give place to the following, which !
will explain itself:
Havana, September 11, 1851. j
To the Editor of the Republic:
Having been requested by a very large por
tion of the prisoners of the late Cuban expedi
tion to write to their friends, informing them
of their situation and good health, I have
thought it best to throw my observations, which
must necessarily be general in their principal |
features, into the form of a circular, nnd I
have now the honor to address you this at the
request of all the prisoners.
The prisoners were brought to this city in
different lots, and as fast as they arrived were
shaved of their hair, chained two together, and |
placed all in one long saloon in the prison.
During the first few days it was exceedingly
difficult to obtain permission to visit them. The
British Consnl, Joseph T. Crawford, esq., did
so on the first day, and accompanied by his
secretary. Mr. W. Sydney Smith, who has never
ceased in his exertions in their behalf, gave i
them the first cheering words. On the next
day, Mr. Allen F. Owen, the American Consul,
asked for and obtained permission, and, as 1
was subsequently informed by the prisoners,
told them that "the President had proclaimed
them without the pale of the law, and he could
io nothing for them." During several days our
r>nly mean* of contributing to the amelioration
of their condition was through Mr. Smith, who
continued to visit them twice daily, taking them
small comforts and speaking in their behalf, by
which means he improved in a very great de
gree their situation. He look up a subscription
among the English residents for the purpose of
providing extra clothing for those who were
British subjects; and the secretary of the Ger
man society, in consequence of receiving a let
ter Oom Capt Schlicht, went to Bee them, and
?ubarqu?t>tly provided for the Germans in the
same manner that the English Consul hud pro
vided for his countrymen.
I was not ablo to obtain permission to see
thorn until Friday, 5th instant, at noon, when
I found that twenty-five had that morning been
scut to tho hospital, and that some low of the
others had had their chains taken off?for what
reason I could not learn. The Americans and
some others I found very much dispirited in
consequence of the language Mr. Owen had
held to them, and from seeing others so much
better cared for; and I did what I could to
cheer them, assuring them 1 would do my ut
most to have them as well provided for as their
more fortunate companions hod boen.
On leaving the prison I spoke to several of
my friends about raising funds for tho prison
ers; and so great was the interest shown in
their behalf that our efforts were crowned with
tho utmost success. I take this occasion to
pay a just tribute to those Cuban gentlemen
who so generously provided me with funds,
t without which my efforts would have been bar
ren; and also to many American friends, who
contributed not only money but personal effects.
I would gladly mention names, but the impos
sibility of naming all would render the particu
larizing of a few apparently invidious, and I
will therefore cito but two who are connected
with Lhe press; those are Mr. White, of tho
New York Courier and Enquirer, and Mr. Cal
lahan, of tho New Orleans Picayune. To these
gentlemen, in company with many others, much
praise is due.
On Saturday the prisoners received several
visits, and a sum of money wherewith to pur
chase bread. Mr. Smith also took to them cigars
and other comforts. On Sunday morning thoir
chains were taken off; they were allowed to bathe,
and I was enabled to send them their extra
clothing. They were in excellent spirits, and as
many of their countrymen had now obtained
permission to visit them, and they found they
were not abandoned by their friends, they
were quite gny. Writing materials were to day
allowed them at the request of Mr. Smith, and
many of them wrote to their homos. They all re
ceived a small sum of money to purchaso such
trifles as they might fancy; on this day they
reeeived information that Commodore Parker
was not allowed to see them, which they re
grotted exceedingly, and during the afternoon
they had a short visit from Mr. Owen.
On Monday morning, as they were to embark
early, Mr. Smith, Mr. Callahan, and myself
visited them before day; they had coffee and
bread beforo going on board. Besides what
they received from the government, each man
had a pea-jacket, a woollen shirt, a pair of
stockings, and a tin pot; and on board ship
were placed for their use eight hundred and
twcnty-fivo pounds of chocolate, two boxes of
tobacco, two barrels of vinegar, and some small
stores, and the sum of seven hundred and
thirty-five dollars was placed in the hands of
Captain Ortiz, of the Primera de Guatemala,
for general distribution on arrival at the port
of destination. Besides this, the German So
ciety gave Capt. Ortiz one hundred and thirty
six dollars for the Germans, and several per
sous left sums for individuals. They embarked
in high spirits and excellent health, all desiring
a most affectionate farewell to be sent to their
friends, with assurances of their high hopes for
a speedy release. Thoso who remain here,
awaiting ship, will follow their companions in
a few days.
Those who are in the hospital arc all doing
well, and are very well cared for by every one
around them. They also have been allowed
writing materials, and their friends will proba
bly receive letters from them as early as they
may receive this. The Captain General has
been very considerate and kind in his orders
relative both to sick and well, and their attend
ants and jailors have treated them with much
consideration.
In regard to exertions for their liberation, I
would suggest to you some prompt effort in
their behalf, through tho American minister at
Madrid, for the reason that the proximate ac
couchment of the Queen will afiord a most ad
vantageous opportunity to grant tuem all a freo
pardon; and the liberation of three here would
induce us to suppose that a like boon might bo
obtained for all.
I have the honor to be, respectfully, your
very obedient servant,
J. S. Turasrbb.
Tho Republic and tho T*UiUigenc*ry of this
morning, enter into a brief defence of the Presi
dent and the Consul from tho allegations con
tained in the foregoing circular. Tho It-public
says:
?? Not having the pleasure of any further ac
quaintance with the writer than we derive from
the letter itself, we cannot be so unjust to Mr.
Owen as to give circulation to its injurious im
plications, without stating that the authority,
as far as wo are concerned, is to all intents as
if it were entirely anonymous."
We have no acquaintance with Mr. Thrasher,
and never heard of him before; but his circu
lar contains prima facie evidence of its truth
fulness, and that it has otnanated from ? hu
mane and benevolent man. Its declarations are,
moreover, confirmed, or at least strengthened,
by the statement Mr. Owen has vouchsafed to
make. Tho Baltimore American, however, of
this morning, states that the writer is the edi
tor of the Faro Indutirtal, a Havana newspaper
which wss recently suppressed by order of the
Captain General.
The 1!cpublic proceeds to reason npon the
probabilities of Mr. Thrasher's statements as
relates to Mr. Owen, and concludes that they
mu?t l>e erroneous because it is improbable that
"a gentleman so intelligent as Mr. Owen could
have drawn tho inferences attributed to him
Tr?>rn the proclamation of the Prerident, &c.
He fore that proclamation was made, we could
lot have believed that a gentleman so intelli
gent as Mr. Fillmore could have permitted itg
publication.
Tho following paragraph from the Republic is
?ignificant of the views and policy of the Ad
ministration on this subject:
? After the illegal enterprise, however, had
oecu consummated, and when American citi
zens were in prison in a foreign oountry,
charged with having been engaged in It, a very
lifferent state of things had arisen. Wero
they all guilty hocause they were accused?
\nd if taken all In JfagriUiti dr/irtn, were they
jut off from the sympathies and the pardoning
power of their Government 1 Is not a govern
ment, like an individual, frequently called upon
to interfere in behalf of offender.-' ^ho have
forfeited all claim upon society ? I>?d not ?
