HAVANA, Jan, 5, 1869. Ex-Captain General Lersundi and Admiral Chaon sailed to-day for Spain, The steamer on which they embarked was accompanied some distance outside the Morro by tags and small boats containing the friends of the departing Captain General. His re- turn to Spain 1s regretted by a large number of our citizens, This morning General Lersundi, previous to his embarkation, paid a visit to Admiral Hoff on board his fagship, the Contoocook. He was received with the usual ceremonies, This is the first instance known here of a Captain General going on board of & foreign man-ot-war. The inaugural proclamation of Captain General Dulce is awaited with much anxiety by Spaniards aud Cubans, both parties being in the dark in regard to his fature policy. The Cubans express the opinion ‘that the revolutionists at Bayamo will refuse to lis- ten to any propositions for a compromise, and the Spaniards,are convinced that the troops now on the island, reinforced by those on the way hither from Spain, will speedily put an end to the revolution. A report is in ob tion that the revolutionary Generals Santisteban and Lopez had a battle on the 22d ult. with Colonel Lono on the Saizo river, and defeated him, capturing two fags and forty-two prisoners. ‘The insurgents acknowledge a loss of sixteen killed and thirty-six wounded. This news comes solely from rebel sources, and is flatly con- tradicted by the oficial despatches received by the government here. General Dulce to-day gave orders that the most ample latitude be allowed by the government cen- sorship for the publication and forwarding of tele- graphic news. Other important concessions, en- pte the liberty of the press, are expected to iow. It is reported that the liberal journal El Pais, which suspended a short time ago, will resume pub- Heauon in a few days.

Colonel Espinosa Killed In a Duel—The Con- vention with the United States Ratified by Congress=The Rights of Naturalized Citi- zens Recognized—Restrictions Upon Church Ceremonies and the Sale of Liquor. * HAVANA, Jan. 6, 1800. A steamer has arrived from Vera Cruz and brings the following news:— Colonel Espinosa was killed in a duel at San Luis. More trepps were to be sent from Puebla against the insurgents in the Sierra. ‘The Mexican Congress, by a large majority, has approved the convention of the 4th of July made with the United States for the settlement of the claims of the citizens of both countries, ‘The Congress, m secret session, has also erred a treaty with the United States recognizing the a doctrine of the righis of naturalized citizens. ‘The police authorities of the city of Mexico had issued orders restricting the performance of reli- gious ceremonies, which had caused some of the churches to close their doors. A police reguiation had also been put in force prohabiti the sale or liquors after six o’clock in evening. Several journals object to these new orders on ihe ground that they attack personal liberty, the free exercise of religion aud the rights of commerce. ARKANSAS.

The Ninth Regiment Bail, The Academy of Music, which 1a so admirably suited for balls, was crowded last night by the beauty and fashion of the city and neighborhood, the occasion being the grand ball of the Ninth In- fantry National Guard, The glittering uniforms of the regular and militia officers present contrasted beautifully with the elegant costumes of the lactes, while excellent music rendered by a band of a hun- dred pieces lent animation to the brilliant scene. ‘The stalls and boxes were occupled by the non- dancers and those of their friends who frog time to time 81 from the floor to engage in cgnversa- tion, ‘There was no attempt at decoration, com- mittee having wisely considered that to decorate the cent theatre would be like painting the lily refined gold; but the six banners of the rent were tastefully hung, three on each side of the stage, from the orp boxes. The motto of the Ninth—“Ratione aut Ve’—was conspicuously dis- ‘ama + ue cera of the lar service Who ol “pr McDowell and G or were arenes. were Major Gene: staff, Brevet Major Genera! Hartsuf, Brevet Briga- dier General Henry Benton, Colonel Fifth artillery; Major General Anderson and Surgeon Wood. Al- Most every officer of the United States Army now in New York and vicinity who could be spared from duty was present. The navy was also well repre- sented. Of course all the xenerals of the National Guard, with their staims, were present; but there were none of the Washington Grays on the floor—at least as orderhes, Shortly after ten o'clock the spiendid military band and orciestra, at a signal from the director, 0. 5. Grafuila, commenced the first piece in the pro- gramme, and dancing commenced soon after, ‘The scene at this moment was very beautiful and wilt be long remembered by those who witnessed it. By @ happy combination of circumstances the toor was not at any time too crowded, and the lovers of dancing—and they were m the majority—had full room to enjoy the exercise. Itis proper to that the entire arrangements were conceived and carried out in the beet possible manner, The police and carriage arrangements were aiso admirable. Although there was a long line of carriages constantly moving toward the en- trance to the Academy and departing there was little confusion, and no accident occurred to mar the feeling of satisfaction with which ail present were animated. ‘The city bells were sounding the hour of four o’clock when the iast carriage drove irom the Academy. Ball of the New York Masquerade Club, It was a happy-go-lucky throng of humanity that assembled last night in Apollo Hail. Everybody was en masque, nobody apparently cared for anybody elaé, and each separate mask, acting on its own re- sponsibity, was vainly endeavoring to unmask the secrets of every other mask in the room. Little girls not yet in their teens vied with accomplished “old dowagers” in the dangerous subtleties of wear- ing two faces at once, while May in petticoats and December in breeches whirled around the room in loving embrace to the dulcet strains of catgut and clarionet, whispering the while, no doubt, one ‘to the other all sorts of extravageut nonsense, which, it is charitable to suppose, was forgotten by both almost as soon as uttered. All was ecstacy, har- mony and delightful joyousness, and what with the music and the mischief men fn muslin and maidens in moire, the merry masqueraders moved about in motley masses’ until afier midnight, when the master of ceremonies gave the signal to un- mask. Instantly all was changed; but tamcon- Unued unabated, nor did it flag m the least until the merry couples departed in small detachments for their homes. At the unmasking dreadful (?) dis- coverles were made, recognitions followed in quick succession, some were elated with happiness, others. appeared ‘poutty; some indulged in extravagant laughter, and, sad to relate, there were many who were so fond of double dealing that they could not be prevailed upon to remove their hideous faise faces. Upon the whole the second annual bail of the New York Masquerade Club may be regarded as a great success, About four hundred persons of both sexes were present, and no one was adinitted to the dancing floor unless masked. (eneral E. Ferrero acted as floor manager, and was abiy seconded in his efforts to make the affair pleasant to all concerned by the | orien of the floor commitiee. Grave inonks job-nobbed with bewitching little fairies; William ‘Tell told his adventures by food and field to the God- dess of Night; clowns joked and laughed and flat- tered queens and peasant girls alike, wile card: soldiers, sailors and bakers followed the example set them by “Olid Nick,’ who sported Ft Rohe and picked up all the stray morsels of ine game that chance threw in The festivities were of the it viction fo1 i upon one’s mind that there were &@ great many more fools in the world beside those who had donned the cap and bells upon this occa- sion.

The proceedings were tame enough, as the result of the election for Speaker and Clerk was a settled thing. ‘The vote was @ strictly party one, all the republicans voting for Younglove and Underhill and the demo- crats for William Hitchman, the former Speaker, and C, W, Armstrong, former Clerk of the House. When Hitchman’s name was called he sald, em- phatically, “I vote for William Hitchman,” which created some laughter, It was amusing to hear the very positive tones with which the minority re- sponded to their names, all standing unflinchingly by their banner, although it is trailed in the dust of the Assembly chamber, while it files flauntingly enough in the Exectitive chamber, ‘The new Speaker’s opening address was a very sensible discourse and was delivered from manu- script, with some evidences of emotion. His allusions to the economical management of the canals and railroads, and the relief of the people from taxation were well received. We hardly think, however, that his recommendation to abandon the practice of de- Jaying action on important bills to the last few days of the session and then rush them through “in hot baste, like frightened deer with whip and spur,” Will be very faithfully carried out, but that the old habit will be strictly observed as usual. The reading of Governor Hoffman’s Message, which was presented at a quarter to one o'clock, ‘was not recetved with much attention.

The second deprives the police of power of arrest without warrant. The third permits stores and piaces for sale of liquors to keep vpen at all hours, except between one and four o'clock A.M. on week days.
