“ARRIVAL OF THE GRESCEST CITY, VERY INTERESTING FROM HAVANA | Genvral Peznela’s Defence of His Admiaistra- tion of Cuba, &., &k., & Our Havana Corregporddese s. Havana, Oct. 8, Lso4.

By the last trip of the steamer Cshawba from your cha | | the orn innity of the pricorple city, we have returned to his post Colonel Witiam | R.

The colonel is much of a favorite among thoae whe have business relations with the office, aad fully 8» popu- dsr and useful in the sphere of his daties, a: (eneral Concha.

The sisve dealers begia to realize that they have in Concha one who is honcat himself, and cannot be duped by others; and the alave trade with the coast of Africa will utterly <ase vader his command, as it did, almzoss entirely, during his previous administration. Geae-al Pernela claims great ment for bis psper decla- mation ogsiust the traflic-—but the simpic truth is ‘that in no previous year has there been co many slaves int:odeced into Cuba es during tue less than tec months reign of the viceroy and tue seizures made have been far less in proportion te the intredaction. Orde: for vessels for the coast wiioh have been sent to the Unised States by every steamer until the arrival of General Concha, Lave been moet of them withdrawn, as jar as it was practicabie to do so. This makes sufficient commentary upon that part of tre past administration—if the’ diamond in the palece was pure—the exterior setting aud relief for ehow, was awfully black. General Pezucle will teke with him, however, to Rogland, certilicates of good conduct, which may be useful, and which he may poesibly deserve, although Lvory much Goubt whether he can be tgaorant of ‘the fraternui adyantage and benefit of Lis adminis. tration to Col.

There Was uo rectlessness, fear or emotion to be seen in his countenance. He came to review the troops from his palace fronting the harbor, and it being a fine day they made a splendid turnout. There were about oxé hundred companies on the ground, with abgut fifty bends of music, comprising in ‘all from 5,000 to 8,000 troops.
