“WHOLE NO. 6660. SUNDAY MORNING, = NOVEMBER 19, 1854. THE NEW YORK i ARRIVAL OF THE CAHAWBA. “TWO DAYS LATER FROM CUBA. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. &e., &e., &e. The U.S. mail steamship Cabawba, R W. Shu- feldt commander, from New Orleans the 9th and “Havana the 12th, arrived here )esteriay afteraoon. After leaving Havana, ahe expericaced very severe weather, and was compelled to put iaty Norfo'k to repleniieh her coal, which detsined her thirty six bourse. Nothing further was known at Havana respecting the recert ontbreak at Pue:to P'incip:. ‘There is no news of importence. The Cuhawba has a fuli freight of cotton and ficur, and $27,000 int pecie. We are indebted to the purser of the Cabawba for tarnishing us with the ‘atest intelligence and full Giles of Hsvana papers. OUR HAVANA GORRESPONDENCE. Havana, Nov. 10, 1854. The Capiured American Schooners—Precautios of the Executive—Goverament Alarm—Genera! Concha, the United States Minister to Nicar- agua, and @ Naval Captain at Dinner--4 Romantic Attempt at Swuicide—Custanedo's Widow—Shig New:, Deaths, Health of the City, and Lute Arrivals. ‘The reporta made to the Captain-General repre- sent that two schooners under the flag of the United States had been seized, and confirm the facts stated in my note, at the moment of sailing of the Phila- delphia. A small additional force has been des- patched to that quarter, and General Manzaue, known to fame by his operations for pacitication, previous to the landing made by Lopez, qill very soon render & bloody account of the disturbers of public peace—if there are aay to be suspected, or found. The two echooners seem to have cleared with their cargoes from Nassau, N. P., aad probably the arms were—or might have been intended—for the bay of Samana, Greytown, or other ports, for account and for protection of British subjecta. It does not appear yet ia proof that anyhad been landed. The thing is suspicious, and induces the belief in palace circles thet it foreshadows coming events, and makes some uneasiness in that region—the evils we know we car mest and conquer as good men and true; those unseen and usknown most trouble the soul, i The Captain-General gave a dinner to the United States Minister near the State of Nicaragua, on the Sth inst.,to which were invited and present,J. W. Fabens, Esq., late Consul at Greytown, and yet to bo provided for there, or somewhere; Captain Esgle, of the Princeton, anob‘e sailor aud fuithfal repre- sentative of his country wherever he may sail; and the Consul, Colonel Wm. H. Robertson, who is al- ways at his post and fit for duty. The dianer was of Cuba’s best,and presided over by the chivalcic and courtesus host, assiated by his accomplished lady, who wins her way among all good hearts. Speak- ing of these things reminds me that out of small potatoes you Yaskees make immense crops. 8) «ewheele about and jump Jim Crow”’—Mer. Pierce may make the epplication. I have not the time for elucidation. , In the way of euicide failures and anecdote, have @ touch of the romaxtic to give. On the las* general audience day held by General Concha, a man of genteel appearance presented himself in the hall, and in his order of admission s>proached the Oeptain General in a eomewhat brusque manner, avd at the same time handed his purse, which was well filled, ssyirg:—‘ YourJExcellency is the only man in Cuba in whom I can place confidence, and I beg ase favor of your Ex-ellency that you will have the kindnees to take charge of this purse and my effects, and transmit ttem to my wife.” ‘The singular style of address, with the action of tbe man, induced some questions, the replies to which showed that the individual had some debts in the city unpaid; whereupon the Captain General asid— As you are indebted, it seems to me, as an honorable and an honest man, your first obligation is to pay. them; and afterwards will be more proper the consideration of the disp2sition of what may re- maiz.” To this, in a quick and excited manner the stran- ger replied— That remark determines my destiny. Give me the purse!” And with a bow and thanks for the eourtesy and kindness, he left the audience. The Captain General fearing that the man pro- suicide, called his secretary, and directed that two eet police office's should foliow the man to see that nothing of that sort should take place, if it was possible to prevent it. He went to his residence, azd was left there in a composed state of mind, writing, and the two officers preeumed “ther duty discharged. After closing his letter, which was addressed to Gsneral Concha, he took @ pistol from his desk, returned to the Palace in the dusk of the evening, placed himself by the base of one of the columns in front—ses:ed himsel¢ on the pavement with his back to the base—drew his pistol, and placing it to his head, discharged it. The pistol was overloaded and the coutents passed over the brow, teering away all’the fleshy covering, but not penetrating the scall—toe coluama saving the crowd from injury. The msn was taken to tha hospital and is recovering, and as he hes been 89 near eternity, it is probsbie trat he may decline another attempt. lever written to General Concha expre-sed his wisn tha; he would take charge of his effects, which cousisted of o box of gold dust and his money—pay his debts and remit a stated surn to his wife—and excase hin for the trou- ble or pain that be could not avoid giving him. The le of tue letter was good, without tie betrayal of any strange emotion, only declaring ‘‘trat be had no Confidence in the rectitnde of any other than Goa. Joeé de la Concha.” It 1s provable that the man th:ough the magement of Genoral and ba, may be saved for future usefuloess. In tue files I hand you will be found an exposition of Gen.

Tae prisoners will possibly be sold for the Havaza market, to eke out government funds—as bas previously ocourred—where they will appear in the class of ‘voluntary emigrants.” Oct. 18th, at Vera Cruz, the steamer Santa Aona bad arrived the day previous, attracting general ad- miration, having been constrncted in New York to constitute the naval steam marine of the empire, or for the especial use of His Serene Highness, atte: the last grand finesse for imperial dignity is deter | mined by vote of the peop e; it remaining to be seen whether this second edition of the Napoleon coup d'état can be made as fruitfal with exalted dignity for Saint Anna, as proved with Saint Louis. Oct. 24th, same city—Notice had arrived at the city of Mexico on the 17th of thecaptare of Ignacio Campos, son of Gen. Juan Alvarez, one of the most important of the revolationary chiefs. Col. Moreno had also entirely routed the rebels of Coyucas, and hopes were entertained of a very speedy re-establish. ment of tranquillity, and the punishment of the in. | fam ous agitators againtt the public peace.

The letter written from the city of Mexico, dated Oct. | 21, brushes off a month’s events with mach favility, | of which I give the sentiment. His Serene Highness submits himself again t> the vote of the people, to see if he shall remain clothed with the extraordinary powers they have im posed upon him. His plan is well laid; if | his strikers throughout the land give in their blows in good time, Almonte and Arrangoiz are provided for, and the chances are that be msy come out of the canvass—Santa Anna, | Dictator, va. Santa Avna, Emperor, with the lesf upon his brow in full justification of the elanders | which have charged upon his ambition the earnest desire for the acquisition; and asthe loyel letter writer statee—“Nothing could be more loyal, more frenk, nor more patriotic, than this appeal to the general suffrage of the Mexicans.” The troubles in the south of Mexico have been almost concluded by the pardon granted by His Serene Highnees to de- Nnquents, and the constant pursuit by the govern- ment troops of the revolutionary parties, the chief Zabares, at the moment of attack by Col. Moreno, having passed over to the files of the government, unéer faith in the proclamation, &c. In Michoacan equal resulta have obtained; nothing left in that de- | partment to disturb the public peace, except a few bands of robbers and factious persons, remnants from ail parts, ina brief time to disappear under the constant pursuit to which they were subjected, and to leave the country free from the devastators, with their depredations and crimes, more atrocious | than that of the savages of our frontiers. | No other incident of particular attention has oc- curred in the month which terminates today. The | Diario de la Marina’s confession ‘that nothing is so convenient asthe trath in such cases,” will be worthy of attention for those readers who may be | interested in the singular windings of Cuban politics, | and the constant le, which is subdued | Meise noma Peal noe ay tot it any | more or eny lees than jast the measure as: by | the most truthfal and most worthy editor, who will, | in the usual course of events, and consiste: with hia career of the quill, forget within the period of | Pen ad what he himself has alleged, oz what | invented.
