John Potter, OF the Greyhound, that only two would
be permitted to be in port at one time, but Capt. p
could not communicate with the approaching schuo
ner in consequence of the heavy surf When she
had come within gun shot Of the Moro Castle, two
guns with blank cartridges were fired at her, but as
the Captain did not think them intended for him,

FROM HAVANA-IMPORCANT,

From Captain FARRIN OF the schooner General
Jackson, arrived here yesterday in l l days from
Havana, we learn that 1t was generally expected

there, Business was in consequence at a stand
Great eXertions were making to export property
from the place--one commercial house had employ
led eight ships to carry their property to Europe
There had been several attempts at revolt but they
had been suppressed.
Capt. +. states that the pirates near Havana were
more bold and desperate than ever. They were
making captures daily in sight of the Moro.
French ship from Bordeaux or Havana, was csptur
ed by them and taken into place under point Vac
co, Cuba, where her whole cargo of wine and silk
goods was taken out. She was detained fourteen
days-,the captain was obliged to ballast his ship
with sand in order TO get her into Havana. Part oil
the goods were afterwards recognized in the Hava-
ma, the marks upon them corresponding with the
invoices received. Capt. F. saw the pirates cap
ture an American brig in sight OF the Moro. He
conversed with the captain OF Portland brig (the
Mentor, he lhiuks) which was taken and detained
ten hours by schooner of ten guns, and ninety
men, The pirates threw the deck load of lumber
acknowledgement all the nautical instruments
tore up the log book, charts, ships papers, and
all the etlers-took all the wearing apparel and
beat all hands severely.
Markets at Havana were dull for American pro-
duce. Muscovado sugar, SO so to S4.-Coffee

By gentleman who arrived here yesterday in the Gen

very dssaeced state that the governor had but very lit
tie confidence in either the white black part of them
and had ordered the forts to be garsoned by each alter
