FROM HAVANA.

From our attentive CORE pondent at Ha-
rana, We have received papers of that place
to the 9th inst. inclusive. We perceive by
them. that the enthusiasm of the people in ia
ror otthe government of the Cortes, had not
in the least abated. The captain-general of
Cuba had issued an order, enjoining the OBJ
seryance of Sunday the 9Th, as a day OF ge-
neral rejoicing and festivity by the people !;
and authorising them 10 indulge in all kinds
OF sport and recreation that would not mill
tate against good order and ecorum-that
being the day on which the Cortes were to
assentle in Spain, and when Ferdinand as

The Island. under ihe new constitution, was
also TO take place on the 9Th and 10th. The
Island had been divided for this purpose into
fiye election districts. which wele to send
los representatives the most important fur
nishing 81, the three next sach 81, and the
6lth Il members. The polls for this election
we're to be.opened at eighty six different pIa-
ces, in order 10 afford to The voters every ia
cility to the exercise of the right Of suffrage.
Al a short distance from each poll,a sufficient
number Of militia was to be stationed to pre-
serve order, and prevent persons not quail
fed to vote from interfering; and also to pre-
ven, the approach of carriages to the poll, to
the obstruction of the voters.
No armed person as to be allowed to vote;
and each militia man before approaching the
poll Tor that purpose, was required TO lay a.
side his arms. lCsty Gazette.
