After the tion of several resolutions, nem. con., one of which wes no less than to call upon the government to cede the two monitors to the Cubans, the reunion sallied forth and startled Colo- net Balta from bis comfortable lunch, eausing him to make his appearance in the balconies of the pal- ace and address the maititude assembied in the plaza. fe gave them the reply that he would do everything tending most to be worthy of Peru.

Tne Cabafas and Morro Castle fortresses are no longer under thelr control, and the martnes of Sellor Molcompo, from their grim battlewents, keep watch and ward over elty and harbor, On the morning of Thurs- day the artillery battalion (volunteers), commauded by Seflor Suarez Virgil, which had beon on duty the previous twenty-four hours, serrendered their trust to the marines, and insomuch we volunteers ceased to be masters of Havana, The battalion which was to relieve the artillery marched ss usual to the Wharf, and on beimg informed that its services were not required, quietly retarned to the plaza and was dismissed. It is known rhat it was aware of what was about to occas, and its march on the occasion was, therefore, a mere matter of form, ‘This acquies- cence in what deprives them of the greater part of their power results in part from the quiet persis- tepee and Sagacity of General Espinar, but much nore fron: fears as tw the action of General de Redas, The Spanish Admira! w: Hernan Corte had gone for a short trip to one of the ports on the north side, and that nis family was with him, it was well understood (hat he had goue to meet and have an interview with the new Captain Gen- eral concerning the situation here. In the state of mind the volunteers found themselves it was not dif- fieult to persuade them that Caballero de Rodas might land at Matanzas or Cardenas, declare tie capital in a state of msurrection, withdraw the na vy and so place them in a verycritical position, They became dociie under these representations and in- terposed no objection to we surrender of the for- tresses, ouly, in order to relieve others of the stigma, waiting until the artillery was on duty, a battalion regarded with no especisl good will, ‘shia but confirms the prediction aiready made m these despatches that De Kodas would be received and permitted to enter upon his avtiority without any trouble.

The adyen- turers did not number more than forty. The Span- ish oificial account says that this small party has been completely exterminated and all its arms, in- cluding two cannon and alnimunition, captured. The following particulars, gleaned on the spot and of a reliable character, bave been Mrnished me. As stated, the landing took place on the 1st and the to be present at the Palace for the purpose of wel- coming the new suthority upon entering bis position, The Diario, speaking of the matter, says:—“On Su day, or, at the very latest, on Monday, his Exe: jency the Governor, Captain General elect, wil be among us, He is a distinguished Spavish sent by the government of the nation to re-establish peace in Cuba and preserve, at all costs, the integrity of the national territory. We have already satd that who- ever dares attribute to him this or that project speaks from his imagination or in bad faith, but it i8 necessary to repeat it, because the enemies of Spain ave gratified in cireuiatieg the most absurd romors, With the pernicious iitent of creating alarm, piarked by the dark stain of calumny, We ought ever to be’ alert against our enemies, cloakefl as tiey are, and rely on the purity of our intentions and the tranquillity of our conscience.” Herein the Jiario gives We Spaniards a gentile hint that Gea- eral de Rodas comes out a8 the representative of the government, leaving the conclusion that be must be obeyed to be inferred, and at the same time assures them that they have nothing to fear from their little revolutionary proceeding in driving out Dui he cia speaks by authority remains to be deter- mined. Another rnswccesstal Spanish General arrived hero this week, remained for ® short time, farnisbed a card for the newspapers wud lett for the Uaited ates. This Was No le:8 @ person than General Buceta, Who has been in command in Santiago de Cnba aud viemity, and has several times been re- ported dead—muridered by his own soltiers, He lett on the Beaufort for Key West, en route for New Or- Jeans, AL@u early hour on the 234. His card appeared on the same day. He stated that on sailing trom Santiago de Cuba on the 18th for the capital, he was informed thas certain mdividuais of the corps of volunteers were dissausfed the campaign. He does not wonder at tis forhe 15 dhssatishea himself, but claims that he is not respon- sivie for Mot being among those whom the armed enemies reserved for the glory of combat. He was under fire with the insurgents ten times, but on each oceasion not more than twelve or fifteen shots were fired and those from the depths of the thickets. He intimates that, as others are doing, he might nave reported these as great feats of arins only from 4 persistent habit he has of telling the trach. He refers to some reports of his opera- closes by Saying that any person desirous of further information would be well received by calling at the Hoiel Europa, In answer to this mvitation several ominous calls followed, but the General was on the feaand so disappointed his visitors. ‘Tue proprie- tor of the hotel, fearing for his establishwent, found it necessary to pwolish is card also, announcing that the General had Jeft, and so the affair ended, While it 13 nataral enough that an ignorant and badiy informed mob should attribate the failure of military operations to the leaders, the fact is that there are offer reasons than their incapacity or the prowess of the msurgents in this case for it. From selves, the information reacnes us that the cholera, yomito and other diseases incident to the climate, are making havoc among the troops, equal to the most sanguine expectattons of the Cubana, Every attempt @t operations is followed by @ loss of so many from these causes 48 to create despair in the breasts of the commanders, An official connect- ed with the sanitary department of the army says vhat, What with killing, wounding, sickness and de- sertion, there is a (alilng off of from sixty to eighty per cent among the treops; that the battalions need recruicing and reorganizing, bat there are no men for the purpose. Meanwhile the demoralization among the Spaniard’ and the dissatisfaction with the commanders, communicating liself to the ranks, Tender ineffective those Who remain. ‘The mulitary operations, as reported, are of the same indeterminate character as heretofore. ‘The appearauce of a body of insurgents in Colon, be- tween.

The others loat one man killed, named George Smith, a native of London, Engiand, and late sergeant of a New York engiueer corps, What followed is hard to gelat. The adventurers would seem to have been scattered, at least a portion of them, as several have been captured and two or three killed, The Span- iards say they must ail sooner or later be captured or die of hunger and thirst, as they are shut in @ bar- ren and desolate region, covered with cactus, where tere is but one spring within a clreuit of eight leagues, and that ia closely guarded. The Cubans, however, insist that the main body has made good its eseape inland, having united with a party which Janded near Baracoa, and together marched to join the msurgents.. AS the adventurers are known to be guided by @ noted character named Policarpio, a native of Guantanamo, who has been under the ban of the Spanish authorities and escaped their vigi- lance for years, and is toroughly conversant With ail that section of country, they have probably escaped, Among the former dre a Swiss, named Jacob Meyer, and an Malian, name not given, both naturalized American citizens. They were brought here on ihe 9th, Simultaneously with @ prisoner captured at Mayari, calling himself Juan de Dios Patina, from The three were publicly shot on the morning following their arrival. 1t was made a gal: day by the Calalonian element, who seemed delight jo have a number of Americans to vary the execn- tions of late so frequent here. The shooting took lace at eight A. M., instead of the nsual hour of #Lx, in order to give all an opportunity to witness the spectacle, Which had a great advantage overa bali fight, insomuch as three men were certain to be d. Crowds of Spaniards repaired to the slangh- pen, to see What they humorously styled “the fresh meat?

Palma made @ speech, expressing regret for bis c act, accusicg the Cubans of cowardice aod eulogizing the Spanish soldiers for their bravery and hamanity. He also wrote a letter, which has been pablished, expressing the yame ideas, In consequence of this the Bandera Espanola (government (organ), lauds him to the skies and calls him a talented, noble and geverous-minded man, and expresses surprise that sach # person suould be shot like @ dog, without trial. ‘The Cubans say Palma was induced to speak as he did by promises of pardon. Following the exe- cution was a triumphal parade over the four cannons captured at Mayari. Two are of steel and the others of brass. The latter are exactly like those used by the Spaniards here, which has given “dis- loyal” people occasion for il-natnred remarks. One of the steel guns has been placed in the Plaza de Ar- maa, in the position heretofore ocoupied by the famous Monte Cristo cannon, brought from the St, Do- mingo war, which venerable piece was turned off ita perch to make room for the new comer—an awiul ip- stance of the instability of popular favor. On Satur: day, the 12th, another prisoner was brought from Gauntanamo. He was a young Cuban of! Re in Nayana. On Monday he followed the others, dying with the same serenity. On Wednesday, the Was brought here an American, a native of Indiana, nainead Speekman, a sailor, He stated that he shipped on the Grapeshot for a voyage to Jamaica, kuowing nothing about the real naiure of the vea- ture until a tugboat brought the Niubustere aboard. Against his protest he was obliged to assist in-dis- shaneng, the cargo on the Cuban coast and was forcibly detatned by the expeditionists, When he gre, tumself up he had @ guo in his hand. Mr. Puillips, the American Consul, obtained permission to visit him, and alterwards, | am told, watted upon the Governor. If for the purpose of secking for mercy it Was useless, AS yesterday morning Speek- man was faken out and shot, going through the ordeal with great bravery, On the 11th the steamer Moctezuma arrived here, having been detained to carry troops from Nuevitas to Puerto Padre. She brought no news of importance, but soon after twelve o'clock M. flags began to appear over the catalan reaidences, bands to parade the streets and in the morning the Plaza and Palace were illuminated, fu explanation the indefatigable Bandera appeared in an extra, announcing that “it was reported” that Colonel Benegasi had defeated the 600 Americans from Mayari, utterly exterminating them and tyking from them all they had. This ts the third extermina- tion this unfortnnate party has suffered, Subseqnent arrivals fall to conflem the report. NASSAU. rs ' The Salvudor—Arrival of W. S.

Samana Bay, St. Domingo, June 24, 1662, The departure of the Tybee from St. Domingo yesterday morning was the occasion of a large turn- out of citizens, who assembled on the wharf and city walls. The garrison band also performed an ap- propriate air as the vessel passed the fort. Waving of handkerchiefs and other parting salutations were exchanged with the shore, As the government had received intelligence over- Jand of the blockade of Samauk bay by the pirate Telegrafo, commanded by a Dominican refugee, our steamer bound to that point took on board for transportation about forty soldiers designed to reinforee the patriotic Inhabitants who had already defended themselves against the pirate, and had driven him back from their town.

The following corres- pondence gives an idea of her early movements:— After passing over the bar at the mouth of the Ozama the ‘Tybee took in tow the Alta Gracia, eighty tons, an armed sehooner belonging to the Dominican Tepublic. The Capotilla, eighty tons, also an armed sister schooner, been sent ahead the night be- fore, Both had m view an attack upon the pirate at Samana. Yesterday afternoon we overtook, the | Gapolilia and fastened her on behind the Alta Gracia, and resumed our journey, towing both vessels. It was one o'clock this after- noon when the steamer arrived off Samana bay. t was, fortunately, exceedingly misty, which enabled us with both schooners in tow to pass to the windward of the entrance. Under cover of a high Pale the -soldiers on the steamer were transferred to the schooners, The steamer, stili Keeping them in tow, now started for the bay. By this time the rain had subsided, and in the clear atmosphere objects were visible at a long distance. Rounding Sloop Rock, which brought as fairly with- in the heads of the bay, the pirate was visible about. eight miles off, anchored under cover of an island. The pirate was painted black, had two funnels, sidewheels and stood high out of the water. An- chored near by Was a large steamer, patated white and flying the American colors;.aiso a schooner without colors, probably a prize of the Telegrato, Everybody was in a@ state of anxiety as to the probable resuits of the anticipated copfict. The ‘Tybee towed the schooners six miles down the bay, When they were set adrift, The schooners each mounted a brass 18-pounder, used as # pivot gun. All sails were set and the little feet boidly pushed out for their formidable antagonist, The ‘Tybee laid to, to await the iasne of the fight, As Soon ag the schooners were seen approaching the Telegrafo began getting up steam. The schooners moved of on the starboard tack until with fair range. The Telegrafo fired the first gun, the shot fying high, She repeated her act of illegal warfare, displaying two cans to a broadside. ‘The schooners did not respond until after the eighth shot from the fo. ‘The Ses now became quite nd was visinle from the deck of the rybee. The bred fired rapidly, but wildly. One bali tore the after sail of the Capitolla, penetrating it about a foot above the boom. The Capitola replied by put- = ball intogthe bow of the pirate. iter the action had lasted ubout twenty minutes the pirate, having steam up, hoisted anchor and headed for the schooners. It was @tight race. The schooners, heading the way by a close shave, made the cover of the land under the gims of the fortificu- tions of the town of Samana The pirate was cyi- pursue up the main channel, but sheered of, taking position off a reef. nilict now opened with more vigor tuan ever. The pirate ti afew guns quite vigorousiy and then ceased almost entirely. ‘The schooners, under the point of a promontory which tormed a small side bay, kept up & regular fre. The guns of the schooners Were well manned, and soon made it too hot for the pirate, who drew off, well peppered and considerably disabled. [n moving away from the scene of the fight the pirate could barely Make headway. The action began about half-past four and lasted ‘until sunset, While the engagement was going on the mate of the steamer Carrying:tie American colors came aboard. He wanted coal, He stated that the steamer was the Hero, from New York,‘which had run into Semana bay, veing out of fuci. He said shat the pirate had compelied them to anchor where they were, and that were in a “bad fix.” He also mentioned that the “tert carried four guas, that ane ‘was out of fuel had thirty prisoners on shore cutting fuel. . Notwithstanding her crippled condition the pirate headed for the Tybee, with what opvject in view was not known; but it was considered time to leave, which was forthwith done. The spirit of the Dominicans was plainjy shown in the aaring attack made under sail upon so formida- ble a craft propeiled.by steam. Had the force been anything like even there could have been no doavt he result. ‘General Hungria, Minister of War, who came on the steamer with us, landed on the beach at the en- trance of the bay with a small escort, proposing to reach Samana by land and direct the operations of the forces there against the pirate. The people of Samana—mostly blacks and colored persous from the United Statés—are loyal to a man to the govern- ment of Baez, and unaided have had already the satisiaction of proving their loyalty by driving a ue party of Luperon’s men back upon the irate, Pithere is every prospect of the capture of the Tele. gtafo. Without coals and withouc ammunition it is not probable sie will be abie to hold out long. The Dominicans are determined, and, encou by the discomfiture of the pirate this afiernoon, wali doubt- less try their hand again. J hope before leaving the island to chronicle the downfail of the pirate Lupe- yn and the capture or destruction of iis craft, ‘@ur own government, if 1% does not immediately send a vessel out after the Telegrafo, must be neld responsible for all damage that she may do. Al- thongh sbe did not sail from an American port, she started on her piratical career under the American colora and through the aid of the representative of the American government. The glaring outrage thus committed upon a friendly and recognized republic Is a disgrace and a breaca of faith only to be effaced by at once despatching a veasel-of-war in pursuit of the renegade, {tis true the American Consul, who was party to the act, a4 ie aheged oy authority, has been removed, and it 18 tobe hoped will never ve entrusted with another ae of honor and profit under the government. ‘rom the same cauge the Danish Governor General of St. Thomas and the Spanish Consul were re- moved. ‘These oMcial acts evidently show what ig thought of the character of the ‘Telegrafo. She carries an assortment of f which she ages as circumstances may suit. She is without proper papers. It 1s to be hoped the Navy Department will take the matter in hand and at once order # sulta- big vessel to punish the pirate for his temerity, Dwing to the interposition of the pirate 1 was prez ‘ented [rom making @ detatled examination of the bag ot Samana, But, jaaging from tte appearance i the entrance, it is # beautifal expanse of water, well protected and far execediag New York harbor in accommodation.

From ali that I could see with the naked eye and the assistance of @ powerful spy-glasd { do not hesitate to pronounce the Bay of Samana, for commercial and naval purposes, one of the finest sheets of water in the world, and just what the United states govern- ‘ment requires in the American tropics. Affairs in the republic, With the exception of the peeudo American pirate Telegrafo, are in a very satisfactory condition. The latest news from the Hagstien frontier announces @ signal victory over Ly i and his Cacos, assisted by the Haytien near St. John.
