A letter from Havana under the date
of 18th ult published in the Charleston
Patriot, says:-"Commodore Porter's
ship is still at Key West, although he
has left that place on short trip to We.
ra Cruz; he sailed about 10 days since
in the sloop Hound, owned in that place /;
the object Of his going down is not
known The Spaniards speak very Sc
riousIy Of his being permitted TO send his
crlizers out to annoy their commerce;
and there appears to be but one opinion
among the citzens-that be ought to be
attacked where he lays, and his vessels
destroyed. They quote the taking of
Pensacola as proper precedent to be
followed. It's the wish Of every Anne
rican that our government would do
something on the subject One of Por
ter's Officers is here on his parole of
honor; he is an American, and Lieu
tenant in the Mexican service; he has
been well treated by the Authorities and
Officers in this place. There have been
one or two cases of Sickness, but not OF
an alar ming nature. Havana has for
several years past enjoyed a greater

False Nose-A French surgeon has
lately restored TO an individual his
nose, which had been frost bitten du
ring the campaign in Russia. The u
sua! mode was adopted of turning
down portion of The skin ofthe fore
head for the purpose. The result is
very satisfactory. The deformity is
scarcely observable. and The scar in
the forehead concealed also in some
degree by the hair, has almost entirely
disappeared. What is very exlraor
binary, is, that the person on whom
this operation has been performed, re
fers to his forehead all the sensations of
his false nose; The nerves Of which are
in fact furnished By the nervous bran
ches intended for the forehead.

Mr.. Carroll, Of Carrollion.-The Ia
bours of the Jackson party to make it
appear that the venerabl Carroll is one
of their number, have all been lost, and
we should say, nave proved worse than
use less to them, jadging from the last
sentence ofthe following extract. The
opposition want to hear as little as pos.
sible about the evidence which ought to
decide the peoples minds which of the
two candidates viii be most likely to
adopt measures solely directed TO the
public good. "Honour and gratisude"is
all their cry. Their infatuation is not
very unlike to that of the countryman

that had given pail full Of milk that
he permitted her 10 kick it over and
