HAVANA, July 3, 1809. rhe new Captain General, Don Antonio Fernandez y Caballero de Rodas, is among us. Of him the Dic ‘a Marina, & semi-ofMcial journal of this vity, recently found it necessary to say, “He isa dis- linguished Spapish general, sent by the government io di ofthe nation to establish peace in Cuba and preserve at ail co: the 1itegrity of the national territory.” rhe Captains General who have hecetolore reigned ave been Well known to both peninsulars ists in their civil and military careers. present one this is not the case.

The steamer anchored vlose to the guardship, when the troops were landed and marched tnto the fortidcations, where they have amce remained. Soon after, General Espinar, with un oMicial or two, repaired on board, to welcome in an unofiicial manner and have a conference with his anceessor. The British Commodore Pnhiilimore, with quite a number of officers from the various vessels of that nationality in port, also paid a visit to his Excellency on board, Meanwhile preparations for the landing, nounced for ten o'eMck, were taking place. One from each battalion of volunteers, a squadron of cavairy and a volunteer battery were detailed for part im the reception. These were formed in line on each side of the strect, extending froma the right of the palace, duwn Obispo street, in front of the Plaza de Armas and to the wharf, facing inwards, Shortly before eleven General Espi- nar issued frow the place, foliowed by the city gov- erment, the members of the municipality and other aMiciais, and preceded by two lines of black-coated gentry and two or three stout looking fellows bearing ponderous maces,or something else, and dressed in the costume of some old century in which purple vel- vet, gut featiers and shea prevailed. They met nis Excellency atthe wharf, wien a terrific explosion of artillery took place, amid whica the cortege com- menced its retura, preceded by the gentieman of Rhodes. He moved on foot through the lines of troops, backed by # large concourse of people, with an easy, graceful and dignified air, glancing con: tinnally toward the balconies, from wluch no ladies arceted him, but only rough bearded men, at miervals Tuising his chapeau and holding it very like the “monarch of all he surveyed.” A phystognomist would not for moment consider him @ great man.

It is rumored that Letona is to be relteved and ordered to Spain, and tuat Puello will replace him. Colonel Benegasi, who has been operating in Hoiguin, is now here, his command a dwindled to aimost nothing. Pas- sengers by the Mocvezuma report that Ferrer, tn his movements between Puerto Padre and Las Tunas, has lost 1,590 men.

HAVANA, July 1, 1869, arrived here from Nuevitas zuma, en route lor New York, r named Stephen V. Blake, of On Monday last th on the steamer 4 an American engin Caiskil, N. Y. Mr. Blake has lived im the country at intervals since 1854, and as in a condition to judge of the state of af- fairs, Returning from thie United States in December last, he has since January been in Nue- vitas and Puerto Principe, He left the latter place on the 17th ult. The reports he gives are not {avor- able to an early peace, He states that Letona has in his command from 4,000 to 5,000 men, 3,000 of which are guarding the line of the railroad. Military operations are few and trivia), and are only entered upon when necessity prompts it, as, for example, to obtain provisions and other supplies, Every one of these, no matter how light its character, is fol- lowed bya great depletion in the ranks, not so Much from the rifles of the insurgents as from the sickness consequent on the heat of the sun, which, upon the broad savannahs of the neighvor- hood, beats down witn terrific force, wilting the Spanish soidiery tike grass. Herein hes the secret of nothing being done, as it is impossible for the un- acclimated Spanish troops to do anything. As an example of this he mentions that oa the 14th of June 150 of the troops and volunteers went out after cat- ue at a farm about two ieagues from the city. They met a force of msurgents, numbering, as they say, 5600 men, by whom they were driven back, with & loss of seven killed and twelve wounded, the former made up of a leutenant, a sergeant and four soldiers. On their return, in the afternoon, the men were so exhausted that large numbers of them had to be carried in carts, and, on their arrival, forty were sent to the hospital, There are on an average 800 men in'the hospitals, and of these ten or twelve die daily, The Catalan volunteers have lost 200 since their arrival, The insurgents are growing much bolder than heretofore, aud do not hesitate to attack the troops on the open plains, On tue 19th they made a raid on the first station, outside of Principe, while (he troops were atdinner, They killed five and wounded seven, Their own logs was three killed, On the 2ad they made another attack on that station, killed the six sentinels and surrounded and captured the entire detachment, consisting of forty lancers and sixty-five infantry, all regulais. Among them were six oilicers, On the iit they burned a small bridge at San Antonio and cut the telegraph wires, ‘The latter are scarce ever up more than an hour or two at a time, as the rebels are con- stantiy cutting them. On the 25th they burned the estate “Atalaya,’’ acvoss the bay from Nuevitas. Quesada rewatns in that vicinity, the troops under his Immediate coummand numbering avout 5,000 men, we.| armed, for, suys iy informant, “they have hac several good runs lately.” ‘The reported confidence of the insurgents he coniirms, while the depression and demoral:zation of the troops are very great, As the Cont ‘ates, during the late war lo the Untied States, were in the havlt of atiribuung every federal success to ‘he foreigners inthe Northern army, so the uiards insist that the tusurgent successes are entircly due to Americans, whose numbers they xreatly exaggerate, for they will by no means aliow that there is any fight in the Cubans. Tt was unde stood ia Puerto Principe that from 8,000 to 19,000 troops were coming with De Rodas, and the Span- iards were very boastful of what would be done on the arrival of tne late The fact that he broaght but a few hundred will cause much diaappointment there, for ail admit that there is a great lack of troops, and that fall 40,000 additional are required, nor would even Cuat namber be of much service thé present reason. The papers of the city here are accounting for the lack of suceessiul operauons there, by tue rains, Which they say, have set in very heavy. Mr. Blake denies this, and saya the gseason uy to this time has been nnusnaliy dry. The stories of the unpopnlarity of Letona are con- firmed, Hiei disliked for being too lenient and for not shooting those who present themseives, A commission of the volunteers of Principe came to Havana recently, on the Ferdinand ¢l Catoltco, to petition lor M8 Temoval and the appotutiment of Colonel Goniche jin his stead, bspinar informed them that Would be necessary to wate until de Kodas came, for something wo be done tu the ratrer. jn despite of the fact that the road has been op for some time, Principe is not well supplied wiin provisions, Two trains a week are rauning,* consisting of about # dozen cars, and of th but two or three are for the use of the pubuc.
