HAVAN t.--From a friend at Havana tbs
editors ofthe .3ncr:cui. have received a letter
oithe 9th instant-irom Which they make the
following extracts:
. The English Gutter Grccian capt Cra,yIey
arrived here yesterday from Omoa. She re-
ports the capture of piratical sclr. On the Mus
quito shore, by an English brig of Wharf.-The pi-
rate ran ON shore to escape, hut most of the crew
were captured, ana arc on their way TO jamaica
' n lew days since an American (castern)
brig, the Castor, bound into AIatanzas, was
taken by Seoet men in an open boat, and carried
iilto aruca, a little port to wndward of Havana,
where she was plundcrcd and then discharged.
The brig came in here with her captain and
crew halfnaked, and robbed of all their clothing,
&c. A few musiets would have repealed The
ru 1ians, an yet, some of our parsernonious
countrymen are willing TO hazard life and pro-
perry among these exposures, without the pro-
lection they might purchase at SO triiling AN cx-
pense
g The Colombian Squadron is supposed to
be still In Pensacola; and the Spanish frig ate
Sabina, Carobobo, brig Voluntaria and schnr
Condor, sailed on the Isl instant TO intercept
them. Some suppose (and so says rumot) that
this fleet is destined 10 San Juan dc Ullua, with
supplies.
GIVE have no direct communication with
Mexico and no cessation of hoslitics at We
ra CRUZ is looked for. The firing from the
Castle is continued, but seems confined TO Idle
hours, cool ,no,niags and holidays. At dis
lance the appearance of the city is unchanged,
the spires still resisting shot and shells.
'slicre lat layana) Business is languid be-
yond example--no demand for tie produce of
the Island, and very little inducemcnt 10 bring
hither the produce of the United States.
Since the departure of the u. S schooner Wca-
eel, no American cruzcr has appeared in orr
port. There have been no recent arrivals
'io.ii '''e ohitc" o'dtea, hia no news lroEi any
quarter worth communicating.
There are no vessels here from your port
bat the brig Paragon, Reardon, TO sail in ) or :
days for Baltimore, schnr. Gen. Smith, Say
ward destination upknown--tbe Spanish scllnr
Alincrv bound to Philadelphia, sails to-day.
The schnrs. Tuckahoe and George Stiles, from
YOUR port, are both soil. Flour is dull at SI3
TO i3l; for other quotations see prices current
accompanying this.
g Havana is not unusually sicllly for this
season ofthc year, and the fever is almost cx-
c!usively confined to the shipping and strangers
nnaccastomed to the cIimate.n
