INSURRECTION AT CUBA.

The New York Weekly Herald gives a brief account of
an insurrection which had broken out in the Island of
Cuba. It says—
"lntelligence of an insurrection.in the island of Cuba was
received last evening. Our accopts state that the revolu-
tionists and the Government troops had a terrible conflict in
the streets of Havannab, and that the former were worsted,
and compelled to fly to the mountains.
"The proceedings in Congress yesterday were of the usual
character; for the report of which, together with other mat-
ters, we refer to our dispatches."
The Express, on the same subject, states:—
" WASHINGTON, AUG. 4.
"Information from Cuba vid Pensacola, has been received
here. It states that very serious revolutionary outbreaks
had broken out in Cuba.
"In Havannah the Government troops and the revolu-
tionists bad been fighting desperately. Several hundred had
been killed on both sides, when finally the patriots were
forced to retire to the mountains.

THE LATE REBELLION AT ST. CRODL
In reference to the recent revolt of the slave popula-
tion at St. Croix, it had been ascertained at New York,
by an arrival from St. Thomas's, that order had been re-
stored on the islands, the blacks having submitted and
returned to their work. Everything
was going on as
previous to the outbreak.

:MEXICO.
Later intelligence had been received from Mexico,
via New Orleans, but it is of not much importance. The
dates are,—City of Mexico, July 18; and Vera Crux,
July 22.
Nu further progress had been made in the contest be-
tween the Government forces and the insurgents under
Paredes.
Buth armies were suffering in consequence of inade-
quate supplies of provisions.
Government is said to have "wooing dissatisfied with
the eonduct of Bustamente. It is probable that he will
be superseded in the command of the army.
All public offices connected with the American army
in Vera Crux were to close on or before the 28th.
General Smith and staff would evacuate the city on the
following day. Very few United States troops remained
there, and it was probable that all would leave with
General Smith.
The United States steam-ship Scorpion arrived off
Hampton Roads on. the 3d instant. She brings news
that at Campeche and Sisal the Indians were tolerably
quiet, but further down the coast they had committed
sad depredations, and had killed several Mexicans,
