Policy of General Rodas—Citizen Soldiers Snabbed—Affairs in the Interior Adverse Demands for More Troops—Grand Raid Princlpe—Marcano, with 5,000 Negroes, in Cinco, VillasA Special Commissioner Sent to Spain—Correspondence Intercepted—More Sequestrations—Reported Landing of Two Negro Expeditions. Havana, July 31, 1869. The policy which the Captain General, on one side, has reserved to himself, and the espionage of the Casino Espailol on the other, makes 1t appear as if perfect tranquillity reigned nere and stlence were su- preme. The volunteers have made new attempts to “engraft” themselves on government affairs, but Caballero de Rodas has found a nappy way of repel- ing them. When they present themselves to bim with a petition or demand any vigorous measure to be en- forced he telis them that the only way there is of ob- taining their object is to-go to the battle field, feht the rebels and thus end ail evils. As this reply does not please them, and as this is his constant retort, they trouble him less frequently than heretofore. Affairs in the interior go on badly for the govern- ment. Demands for more troops are continually received, but as there are none here to satisfy those demands endeavors are made to organize a new bat- talon of mobilized volunteers under the command of Colonel Acosta y Alvear. As yet only 270 have enlisted, and as this is not quite satisfactory re course has been had for recruits to the public prison; but even of these, although they have been offered pardon for their past offences, very few are inciined to go, for ali Know that scarcely one re- mains of the first battalion which Alvear took with hum a few months ago. With the same view it was proposed to send the colored militia, Who were or- dered into barracks to prepare for the field, but they refused, and as there seemed to be a desire to push them they gave out that they woula join the enemy. Nearly ail of them having famtlies, they re- quired to be supplied with $16,000, which not being Jorthcoming the marching was suspended until further orders. In the interior the government is not better placed, and this Is said to have induced the Governor of Trinidad to order that all Spaniards between fif- teen and sixty years old are to bear arms; the creoles are not incladed, for obvious reasons, It is said that this measure 1s but the avant courrier of an order of the like tenor for this city and suburbs; ‘but there 18 a dimiculty in doing so; for thus an om. cial line would be drawn dividing Spaniards and creoles; and as, according to the census of Pezueia tere are but 60,000 Spaniards to 1,200,000 Cubans and free colored men, it would appear to people abroad as so many votes against this system of gov- ernment; and thus the assertion that only a few creoles do not support the government would not hold good. On this subject there have been very many private consultations with the Madrid govern- ment, aud from it has resulted an order that po more offensive measures be taken until further no- tice. Seflor Calderon y Kessel has resumed the com- Mand of the Sixth battasion of volunteers, from which ne was removed in consequence of anony- MOUs COMMUBICAtONS against him. He was suc- ceeded by Colonel Ybaiez, who was never disposed to do anything contrary to General Duice's orders, and, therefore, he has aiso been compelied by the battalion Lo resign the command, This resumption, resuiting from the suggestion of the Captain Gene- ral, Who thought it very proper and convenient that a creole should command a battalion of volunteers, caused some “peculiar” feeling on the part of some of the Cubans, Serious rumors are tn circulation about the war. The Spaniards appear to have been worsted near Tufas, and the family of Brigadier Ferrer (Cuban) Das not heard from him, Colonel Goyeneche had Jeft Sanu Espiritu, but although two steamers have arrived since, there are no certain tidings from him. For some days no news has been recelved from Gen- eral Lesca, but the folowing telegrams were received by the Captain General:—“Commandant Fortun, o} the Camaguani volunteers, came up in Mugica with the msurgent chief. Hermandez and 200 revels. With only thirty-three horsemen they were dis- persed, killing fifteen, wounding several, capturing sixteen horses, a fag apd some arms.’ *‘Colonel Bo- nilia and his coiumn bave beaten the enemy in the forests of Voladoras and Melones, destroying bis camps, killing three and capturing forty-seven sad- died horses, taree mules and many arms.” As the m- surgents have formed many and dangerous ambus- cades Throughout the country the Spaniards are in great fears that some of their principal commanders may be thus victimized, ‘The news from Puerto Principe te serious. It is supposed that the tnsurgents’ grand raid on the 20th haa for its main object the means of escape of many Cuban families that were detained there. Some of them succeeded in getting away. As General Puello has since prohibited the exit of its citizens another big raid May be necessary for more families to Jeave, wnd then the imsurgents may besiege the place in due formality, as the garrison snd em- pioves of ie government only will remain, and Ubus, if the garrison carries out its tareats of biow- lug up the city betore surrendering it, there will be Jess Cubans buried under its ruins. It bas been stated by Cubans that General Mar- cano has 5,v00 Hghung negro rebeis in Cinco Viilas. The steamer Moctezuma, from Santiago de Cuba, Nuevitus and other ports, arrived nere late on the 2sul, with 101 troops, two commandants, four cap- tains, four lieutenants and three sub-lieutenants, some oF 1oim are sick aud others wounded, We learn oy telegraph that Governor ‘Trillo, com- mandunt of the jurisdiction of Sagaa, who has done signal service to the Spanish cause, had embarked for this city to hold a conference with we Captain General.

Successfal Rebel Raid for Provisions—§$50,000 Worth Carried Off—Spanish Forces in the Town 4,000 Strong—The Rebels Retired in Perfect Order. PUERTO PRINCIPE, July 21, 1869, Yesterday, between three and four in the morning, this city was roused from its profound siumbers by a continued ana steady firing, which was heard as coming from the various points leading out of town. All left their beds to be ready against an attack as unexpected as it was sudden and general. Shortly after the first shots were heard all the troops that guarded the town, both regulars and volunteers, numbering about 4,000, were in motion towards those parts of the city where their presence was most needed. The Plaza de la Caridad had been in- vaded by @ force of insurgents, to what number was not stated, though it must have been consider. able, as this part of the city is guarded by the regi- ment of marine infantry. At this point Gen- eral Poello arrived at about five o'clock A. M., accompanied by the forces which had been guarding the bridge leading from the Caridad to the centre of the city. The insurgents met by the marines and afterwards by the Battalion Union, the small force of cavalry which accompanied General Poeilo, commenced to retreat slowly towards the Corojo, followed by the abvuve-mentioned forces, which with one piece of artillery kept up an active firing, returned by the insurgents, who retreated slowly and in good order. General Poello at the head of his troops followed the retreaung tsur- gents to a distance of two miles (rom town, return- ing at eight o'clock to the city. At the Vigta, the northwest part of the town, the insurgents forced their eptrance up that street, close to the very doors or the Lancers’ barracks, shooting down the sen- tinels, with the cry of “Viva Cuba libre!” The Chiclana regiment soon arrived at this point, with three pieces of artillery, while the Reina regiment made a circuit to cut off the retreat of this party of insurgents, consisting of about 350 men. But in this manwuvre the troops did not ‘succeed, ag every bush and the several outlets of the city were lined with rebels. The Reina regiment had to cut across the flelds at right angles to join the Chiclana regiment, and before those com- bined forces the insurgents retreated siowly, con- testing the ground inch by inch, and finally retired. At Various other points of the town the rebels in snail parties made simultaneous attacks, with the same result as the foregoing. As usual the Spaniards confess only to very small losses, nevertheless thir- ty-four wounded were taken into the Lancers’ bar- racks. The insurgents loss hag not been ascertam- ed—the —— say they killed eleven. It is well ascertained that the insurgents had no intention of taking the city by thig imiormai attack, but to produce a genera! alarm, and as the town was left unguarded at several unimportant points, through these means (by a By. plap with sympathisers in the city and faithfai (t) Spaniards, who have a greater affection for Cuban gold than their beloved patria), to take away many valuable com- modities, such as salt, rice, provisions and ciothing. ‘They futly succeeded in their plan and it ts calculated that nearly $50,000 worth of goods were taken out of the town by this ruse de guerre, This accounts for the troops tearing down several houses at_the edges of the city, where quantities of provisions, clothing and even arms that remained were found. Soon after tranquillity was restored and the exctte- ment over several arrests of Cubans were made, among others Don Pedro Aguero, charged with hav- ing fired on the troops from his window; this. of course, 18 only @ pretext, a8 this gentleman tives tn the centre of the city. art hire man of good family, Don Fidel Barrera, has lately been added to the chain gang, charged with keeping up a correspondence with the insur- nts. No conclusive proofs were found against , nevertheless he was condemned. Our Governor General, Poelio (colored), was very enthusiastically received by the Spantarda. ‘They are in nopes that he wul satiate their thirst for blood. The creoies are trembling in their boots. During the attack of the insurgents yesterday the volunteers proposed to massacre all suspected Cu- bans, At one time great fears were entertained by the more sensible purtion that these threats would be carried out and the city delivered to the tury of the soidiery.

Regatta of the Atlantic Yacht Club at Brie~ tol—Only Four Contestauts Appear-The Sadie aud Cyrene the Winners. % BrisTou, RK. 1., August 4, 1869. Some disappointment was experienced at the paucity of entries for the regatta which took place here to-day, and for which the inhabitants of Bristol gave three prizes to be competed for by yachts bese longing tothe Atlantic Yacht Clup, Of the entire squadron there were only four contestants—a fact Touch regretted, owing to the very favorable circom- stances which characterized the race. It appeared, however, that the fleet had been disbanded at New- Porton the day preceding, but that would hardly Dave prevented their attendance. The arrangements may not have been thoroughly understood, yet i ts certain that the people of Bristol paid a high com- pliment to the club in giving the regatta. At the final meeting of the club, on board the yacht Gracie at Newport, a vote of thanks was ten- dered to Commodore Voorhis, who delivered a brief address, congratulating the members upon the plea- sure, harmony and complete disciptine which had 80 far favorably marked the annual cruise of the club. In the evening a musical entertainment was given on the Gracie, and when the sun rose this morning nearly all the yachts had taken wing—some on fishing excursions, others being homeward bound. The regatta at sristol to-day, therefore; while in every way successiul as to the arrange, ments and character of the racing, was robbed of half its pleasure, owing to tle non-appearance of many yachts which were expected to be present. In anticipation of a splendid exhipttion a large number of spectators congregated on the shore, the Toad behind being well Mned with carriages. The scene Was pretty lively towards noon, aud the fleet was momentarily expected. The schooner Mystic arrivea trom Newport in good time in order to par- ticipate in the event and contest tue honors with the Lois; but owing, probably, to other engagements, the latter did not put in an appearance, and the race for schooners accordingly fell through. About noon. the Gracie hauled in sight and entered the harbor in good style, She, however, did not enter the list of competitors. The yriek consisting of handsome silver pitchers and gobieta, were given for two classes of sloops—those over thirty-eight feet and those under thirty-eight feet. There was consider- able delay in getting the competitors off; but it was partly attributable to the non-arrival of the yachts ofthe Atlantic Club, whose absence caused not alittle disappointment and regret. Of the four competitors one was the well known sloop Sadie, the winner of the prize at the last regatta of ine New York Yacut Club; the other the Daphne, a good boat, that behaved well during the race, but Which from the start was evidently no match for the Sadie; and so the interest taken In the contest for first class sloops was very little, Then there were two contestants for the, pie given for second class yps—the Nimbus and yrene—and a prettier race tYan between these two has not taken Place this year. The record shows the closeness of the contest, the winner defeating her opponent by only nineteen seconds. Both yachts were handied admirably, and their dispiay elicited the highest encomiums. The Sadie allowed she Daphne nine minutes and the Uyrene gave the Nimbas two minutes, Shortly vefore one o’clovk the yachts got ito line as follows:— FIRST CLAS! Yachts. Length on water line, Owner.

Fore and alt sails only were permitted, but the silting of ballasd wag not allowed. The yachis were to have anchored between Fort Rounds and (he stake, boat about eleven o'clock. Owing to tae great de- lay, however, in waiting for the arrival of yachts it was nearly one o'clock before the race commenced. At twenty-two minutes to that hour asignal was fired to get ready, and in a quarter of an Lour afterwards be Losleuegraah were despatched by a gun from Fort ounds, ‘The wind was very light from the southwest, and the yachts were rather siow in getting clear. The Daphne was the frst to point outwards, closely fol- lowed by the Nimbus, the Cyrene somewhat behind, and the Sadie a cable length in the rear. The yachts crawled lazily out of the harbor, and the prospects bcp gloomy. By some means the die managed to creep along almost imperceptibly, and Was soon on the stern of the Nimbus, which she 1d after a few tacks, leaving the Cy! jast.

Cyrene was now monroe beuind, passing the beacon she was fortunate enough to get some of the breeze, which acted on her with wonderful effect, The Sadie gradually widened the gap between her and the Dap! when jing the red buoy off Hog Isiand she was over half a mile ahead of her competitor. The wind catching th Nimbus, having the breeze in advance, placed her a considerable distance beyond the Oyrene, which, however, by handling and her own good qualities, Ls ae with the ppoopraat voice of & jolly captain, enabled her to bear down upon her, At the buoy off Coggshall Point the Daphne appeared to make rapid strides and for a@ ume hotiy pursued the Sadie, ‘The others were now closer than before, and those witnessing the contest could not safely express an opinion as to the issue. To be sure the Cyrene was ual coming up upon the Nimbus, but when the win blew equally for botn they kept their places, being about half a mile apart, without variation. Ap ae the stakeboat off Dyer’s Islaud, however, jhe Cyrene appeared to increase her 8] |, and after @ most exciting run rounded it only a second in ade vance of her opponent.

It was a reguiar stern chase, and one that created a vast amount of Interest, as the result was extremely doubiful. There was a good stiff breeze and the competitors bent to their work witha will. The yachts, on re- turning, went to the eastward of Hog Island. As the black buoy the Cyrene and Nimbus were almost beam and beam. ‘‘Fiatten, boys; fatten and let her get every sniff,” cried the commander of the former Yacht, and fn an instant the boys flattened accord- ingly, flat on the deck as Dye tge If anything the Sadie gradually dropped her opponent and aiter passing the black buoy on the east, side of Hog la- jand she was evidently too far ahead to be overtaken. ‘The entrance of the contestants, when rounding tue home stakeboat the first time was anxiously avwait- ed. They rounded as follows: |.

The rather short turr. ofthe Nimbus certainly did not serve her at that stage. ‘The breeze frestened and the racers dasiec on their way with redoubled speed, the distance being made tn much less time than on the previous rounding. The Sadie appeared to be unapproa able, though the Daphne sailed beautifully throus! out the entire race, Shortly before three o’clock the Sadie rounded the stakeboat of Dyer’s Island, the Daphne ‘some ten minutes deaind. But tne contest between the Cyrene and the Nimbus was tio feawure of the day, Both went splendidly through the water and boch were sure of victory. Vainly aid the gallant Nimbus try to overhaul her well managed opponent. Oftentimes she a) proached her very near, but thea the Cyrene scudded off, making the gap between them iarger than before. It was astern chase of the most ex- citing description, not merely because the Nimbus. was #0 close at hand, but also on account of the Cyrene, having to defeat her, if successful, by two minutes, At Arnoid’s point buoy the Cyrene began radually to widen the distance. Scarcely had she jone 80, however, when the Numbus followed her in an excellent stretch. Within a mile of the fuai stakeboat the race waa Most exciting, increasing as the yachts appeared not to vary much {a their post- tion, it beg uncertain how many minutes we Cyrene was in advance, At the black buoy the Cyrene, as if by an extra and final effort, almost as if the boat were strained to make @ rush, shot for+ ward like an arrow and passed the winning stake. boat just two minutes and nineteen seconds ahead of the Nimbus, The Sadie had previously passed, having led the Daphine overa mue and ahalf on the way home, though the jatter overhauled her slightly as they neared the harbor. ‘The tollowing time whe yacaté rounded the bome sta AM & + & 57 10 Oyrene. 412 44 Nib Altogether it was an exceedingly preity race, and only Wanted a few more competitors to Increase tie interest which the spectators exhibited to it. At the termination of the regatta the prizes were awarded by Mr. Heneshoff, who was chiefly mstru- mental in orenie Ue the regatta. Mr. J. B. Hene shoff, of the Sadie, obtained the prize for first class sloopa, and took occasion to’ express his regret at ‘the absence of the yachts of the Atlantic Ciub, for whose especial enjoyment the inhabitants of Bristoi had given the regatta, Mr. Sandford. on behalf of Mr. H.
