HAVANA, July 6.
am about to leave this place for Orr
leans in ten days, and use the opportunity
that now offers to give you such information
as can be had under the Spanish govern
ment. A new captain general has arrived;
he is to command this island and depen-
dencies, this created for some days a strong
sensation among the planters and mer-
chants, who had learned that he brought
with him an order from the adorable Fer
dinanh to close this port against all foreign
bottoms. The alarm has. however, passed
away--the old governor, Apadoca, under
stood the state of this colony better than
the court of Madrid, and no doubt he soon
convinced the new captain general that a
force which, uniting all he brought with
him, and those here before, do not exceed
1900 men fit for service, would not be suf-
ficient to suppress discomfort in so extern
sivc colony for, although there, are here
what may be called local militia, the Span
ISL authorities appear to apprehend that
II there was any Convulsicn, they would act
on the side OF the people. Apadoca has
conducted himself altogether in such way
as to be respected /; and his departure, to
take upon him the vice royalty of Mexico,
is mucn regretted. He was TO have taken
his passage in frigate of IA guns, which
lay IN this harbor, but which unfortunately
took fire OH the 4th Of July, and totally
consumed. without single article being
saved. She was the finest IL in the Span-
ish service, and her loss is valued at more
than million of dollars, exclusive of vast
quantity OF valuable gnods which were on
board of her, intended according to imme-
Il 10 n
is reported 70 have had some IMPRESSED H.
msricans on board her. However this disas
{ r, and the want of any other ship of suf-
ficient strength to resist the swarms of
cruizers of the Columbian rsvclters, which
invest these seas, will retard the departure
of Apadoca. He was to take with him the
skeletons OF two regiments, one of which I
saw marched as was going on board it
was also going for embarkations to one of
the ports opposite the Havana, called Car
racas-it was $50 strong. Two emb argoes
have been resortcd to, in order to cover
this formidable movement, and conceal il
from the Columbian cruizers the last en-
barge applied to Spanish vessels alone but
it was not essary--few Spaniaras ven
ture out, and when they do. they seldom
escape for the cruizers of the revolters
look into this harbor with IMMUNITY.
1t is not safe to enquire about the af
fairs on the continent-but as there IS no
regulation in force against hearing, could
not help hearing that the state of affairs in
the neis hborhooI of Vera Cruz. md thr.'-
out Mexico, would render it unsafe for cap
tain general Apadoca to trust himself ~,
terra tirma, even if he could escape the re-
publican cruizers. There is something
going on which appears 10 threaten the ex-
pulsion of the royal adherents entirely from
Mexico--but l cannot ask word of par
ticuiars. EAurora.
