The insolence and aggressions of the English gunboats Continuc. A few days since they landed a delachment of marines at one of the out ports of the island and searched the plantations in the vicinity for Bozale negroes, bu’ found mene. The captain of the Partefo where the landing was effected has been ordered to Havana for trial, for not hay- ing reeented the invasion and ingult to the Spanish flag. The health of Havana good. . The particulars of this affatr, aa we gather them from parties who arrived in the Black Warrior, are as foliows:— On the eve of the departure of the B. W. infor- mation was recelved of am outrage on the Spanish government by the sutherities of the now notorious Britieh gunboat Styx. As i# usual in cases of this kind where there is no documentary evidence to go upon, there are various rumors afloat, One is that the steamer Styx, having seen ® suspicioes looking craft making for port, she gave chase; but as she wae outeailed by the clipper, the captain became enraged, and landed his mar‘nes i an endeavor to secure the prize that had thus adroitly eluded his grasp. On further inquiry we find ‘that this ia not the exact state of thecase. The real facts are these:—The Styx, which i is woll known has been cruising in the ne'ghborbood of Havana for som> time past, was inthe neighborhood of one of the outports, when, for reasons which have not clearly appeared, her commander beexme suspicious that « cargo of Bozales had been landed, notwithstanding his vigilance, Upon this, and witbout any better information, he landed a de- tachment of marines, under the command of an officer, with directions to scour the country in search of the Bozales. fhe marines accordingly male a Cireuit of upwarde of thirty miles a'ong the coast, enter ing the various plantations, and searching rigorously for negroes. There was a strong force a: the command of the Spanish military sathorities atthe point where the ma- rues wore landed, but no attempt was made to resist them. The Spanish officer in command of the troops simply contented himself with protesting against the incursion. The marines having searched everywhére that they thought proper, without any satisfactory result, returned on board their ship. The peopie of Havaea are represented to be h'ghly indignant at this, what they torm adaring outrage and insult to their fing by the Britieh go- verpment; and they are inclined to insist on the fuilert explanation being made. The Captain General was so en- raged when he heard of what had been done, that he im- mModiately despatched directions that the officer ia com- mand who did not resist the British by force of arms, should be brought in chains to Havana, to be tried for hie offence. . With regard to the feeling in Havane touching the recent conduct of the Exglish navyai officers in comicg into a Spa- nish port to search American vessels, the same extent of in Gignation prevaile as is to be found in this city. From ¢on- ‘Versation held with passenger by the Black Warrior, we hear that the vessels in the port of Havana are deter- mined to take the case of their defence into their own bande if the United States government does not interpose ite high authority and power to protectthem. There is one fact which may give an idea of the state of feeling. An American captain, who is about to leave Havana for the Chinese seas to bring « cargo of immigrants to Ouda, was fitting ap bis vesee! in such a manner as to be able to resiat the attack of any vessel that may aasail him at sca, either going or returning; and be has declared his inten- tion to Sght for it, if the Sty #attempts to board and search btm. Some of tho rich people of Havaca so highly ap- prove of this determination that they have offered this captain $20,000 if he can succeed in bringing the pugna cious Styx into harbor ag @ conquered gunboat. Tho re- sults of these beilicose indications remain to be seen; bu! 20 doubt the prompt and decisive measures of the Ameri- can government wil! prevent the sanguinary intentions of individual captains. The Spanish war steamer Herman Cortes arrived at Havans om the 10th instant from Puerto Riso, bringing the mails and 160 passengers that left Cadiz on the 12th ultimo on board the screw steamer Cadiz. That veasel lost her propeller and rudder on the 23d of April, and ar- rived at Puerto Rico under sail.
