On the 29th OF August, al 8 o'clock in tue
morning. the Moro Castle gave the signal OF
Spanish convoy, and few minutes after II
proved to he the Sabine iriga'e with twelve
transports from Cadiz, with the new Cover
nor, his exceIlency Don Juan Manuel Cagi-
gal, and 5000 troops, the best ever seen in
this quarter.
The arrival Of those troops and new 60
vernon was unexpected, and has given great
room for political matters. A war with The
United States is now considered positive
you may assert it. have good reason 10
speak in this way. All the preparatives in
our Notifications are corroboratve OF this OPT
nion have seen this morning an order
written to Don Jose Roca y Juan, comman-
der of the Cabancas, in which the gov rhor
says, among other things, '' You will notlose

The vessels composing the convoy have on

those of this islslA and its dependencies.

received letters to the l4lh inst. 8 days later,
which state that the transports mentioned in
the above article are up for freight on their
return for Europe, in consequence of which
FIRE light was very low.
Letters received from Havana some time

ult. Elk ,epting on the subject of the Man
chester riots, their contents are uniHterest
ing but on this fruitful theme of political
speculation, they are literally oveTburthen
ed and present as many aspects OF lie pre-.
S, Mt, and aaticipations of tie future peace
and safety ofthe country, as there are hues
in the rainbow. On one side, the meeting
of the populace, though multifarious, is des
crihed as in the highest degree orderly and
decorous. and the attack upon them to have
been wanton and unnecessary. The people
received the different military corps with
cheering, until heir ,abres informed them,
that their visit was hostile. On the other
hand The marching in regiments under regu-
lar leaders, the numerous banners with their
inscriptions, the call OF several persons TO
he people to lock their arms fast together
round the hustings--and other circumstances
indicated any thing but peaceable meeting.
