Most of the Americans living here, and a number of Snaiiiardrt, were tm ]K)ard. After a pull around in the bay, we returntKi homo to take a ride into the country ; but I had lent my carriage, which hud not been returned, and I was forced to remain at tlie house. Tlie Spanisli, and most of the foreign- ers here, keep their carriages; walking out is a rare exercise, though I frequently do so with an uml)rena. The horses here are smaller than ours. Your large blacks would make a most resjx'ctJilil...e appear- ance among them. To-day I had an interview with a wealthy M(;stizo gentleman, who is said to Ix; worth a million of dolhirs, and is upwards of eighty years of age. After chatting a while, tiirougli an interpreter, he gave mo his address and left, saying he should call again, lie is very eccentric, })lain and independent, and in walking is obliged to h'an upon his ndian servant. One of Jiis eccentricities is, that he has three daugh- ters, far past the desiral^le age of matrimony, each of whom he has always opposed in any alliance of that kind.
