FROM HAVANA.

We have been favored by very re-
spectacle mercantile house in this city,
with the following interesting letter,
dated Havana, October 2e:-"An expe-
dition, consisting of three frigates and
two transports, having on board 500
men, sailed from this the Goth last
month, for the relief of the castle Of San
Juan de Ulloa, at Vera Cruz. When
within one hundred and fifty miles OF
their port of destination, "a furious storm
separated them, and this morning the
largest frigate the Sabina, with the Adj
mlraI OH board, returned dismasted,
without having been able to effect a
landing at the Castle. One huH0Fed
men, a number of officers, the princi-
pal part CT the stores, and a quantity OF
money for the succor Of the Castle,
have arrived in the S. leaving those
almost destitute that arrived there, so
that the expedition may be said to be
nearly broken up, because 1t will be
some time before this ship is rehlted;
in the meantime, the Mexican force at
SACRIFICES near Vera Cruz, consisting
Of so gun frlgate, two briggs and six
gun boats, may attack and capture the
Spanish frigates before they can return
here. Ifthe Mexicans had force suf-
fcient to blockade that Castle, and o.
blige it 10 surrender it would be good
thing for us here. This treasury fur.
nishes $50, 900 per month for that for.
tress, which is certainly not worth
keeping; for the idea is preposterous
that Spain can ever again reconquer
Mexico. The loss Of the Castle would
probably induce Spain to come to a
reconciliation with Mexico for the sale
ty Of Cuba, and open trade again be-
tween Vera Cruz and Havana.
This island is perfectly tranquil al
present. Our ensuing crop will be
larger both for sugar and coffee; there
is very little of either now in market
and no molasses-lhe former is held a,
enormous rates and in great demand
the latter has not advanced any, being
very little sought after. Exchange is
heavy, owing to to the failures in Eng
land and the United States"

WRECK OF THE PIONEER.

1t is with much regret that we an
nounce the loss Of this new and elegant
steamboat. She was beached at Grand

much damaged in her hull and machi-

she will be re6tted the present season
We learn the following particulars
from J. V. R. Ten Eyck, Esq. who
was a passenger on board:
The Pioneer left Black Rock on
Thursday the 18th inst at 10 o'clock
A. Nj. and arrived at Grand River a,
8 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, where
she landed some passengers and re-
ceived others. Immediately after, a
very heavy gale commenced, the wind
blowing from the shore, and the vessel
was kept as near the land as possible
In short time the wind changed and
blew towards the shore, about forty
eight hours. Notwithstanding she had
two anchors out, assisted by all the
steam which could be raised upon her
she came ashore about O'Clock OF
Monday, having fortunately avoided
the piles at the out works Of the harbor

The following extract from q tate
letter, rec eived by gentleman in TINS
city, contains some interesting Partlcu-
lars relative to the hostile operations
between Spain and Mexico:
aHovanq, Goth 0ctober.-The Sabine
(spanish)|f rigate, Com. Laborde, who
sailed for the Castle Of ST. Juan de VI
loa last month, was dismasted on the
Goth ult and returned this morning un'
der Jury masts with the officers, troops,
money, &c for the relief Of the castle.
The Castillo and Arethusa frigates,
with the two transports, who separa..
led from the Sabine in the gale, arrived
off the Castle on the 9th inst. AS
soon as the Spanish feet appeared in
sight, the Mexican frigate and corvette
weighed anchor and stood out to IN
tercept them, and the Mexican gum
boats were sent in pursuit Of the trans
ports. The Mexican frigate and cor
yette are new ships, just arrived from
England, where they were bull. The
former mounts Sc guns, tie latter y;
both carry heavy metal, and are man
ned with British and American sea
men; their commanders are British
Post Captains Of high standing in the
British Navy, and Smith, who com
mands the frigate, is nephew Of Sir
Sidney Smith. The officers of a Bri-
fish brig that arrived here yesterday
from Vera Cruz got their vessel under
way at the same time that the Mexi.
cans sailed after the Spanish fleet, and
lay to two hours to see the engagement
bu, night coming on they stood on
their course for this place. The Mex
leans got The weather-gage OF the Spa
nish. and, as they are stronger, every
thing is feared for their safety. The
gunboa,s were sent after the transports,
and held in reserve to aid the frigate
and corvette. Itisfeared here that the
first vessel from Vera Cruz will bring
the news of the capture Of the Spanish
feet and the surrender Of the castle,
which will cut off forever all hopes OF
regaining that valuable country.

London, Oct S.-The letters received
yesterday from Elmina, (Cape Coast,
are dated lst July; their contents are of
very unpleasant nature. 1t will be
remembered that the English Governor
General Turner issued proclamation
in which he more than insinuated that
the Dutch settlers had given every as
sistance to the .shantees in their attack
on the English possessions. This had
been followed by very unpleasant con-
sequences. General Turner had gone
so far as to threaten tSo Of the Dutch
forts; and, at the date of these letters,
hostilities were Immediately expected;
trade was entirely at a stand still, and
no gold dust had been received from
the interior for series of months.
