IMPORTANT FROM HAVANA.

A slip from the Office Of the New |
Orleans Commercial Bulletin of the !
9th inst, says The steam. ship Nat
chez having been detained at Key
West for want of fuel, a schooner was
despatched to Havana to procure
supply of coal. The officer sent in
command of the schooner stated, on his
return to Key West, that there had
been some serious disturbances among
the troops at Havana. The circum-
stances and particulars had been kept
a secret, as far as possible, by the pub.
lie authorities, so that nothing certain
had transpired as TO the cause or origin
Of the affair. This much is ascer.
tanned that a conspiracy was detected
among the troops and officers Of sever.
al regiments garrlsoning the Moro
Castle, through the II eachery of one
of the individuals implicated. They
were, ii was supposed, dissatisfied with
the removal Of Gen. TAcoN; but this
is all conjecture. The discovery of
the treason led TO the most vigorous
measures on the part OF the new Gov.
EsPELATA, to crush it in the bed
The gates were Immediately shut upon
the regiments in their barracks, and
the fort which they garrisoned convert.
ed into their prison. Eighty of the
ringleaders were seized and executed
on the spot, and as many detained un.
der arrest, awaiting a confirmation of
their guilt. From the frequent and
heavy firing heard from the Fort, it
was supposed that a severe conflict took
place between the conspirators and the
Government force. In HAVANA, the
disturbance produced among the in
habltants great agitation and excite.
ment, heightened by the mystery with
which it was shrouded. On the de-
parture of the schooner, all was quiet;
the instruction having been ehectu.
ally put down by the energy and
promptltude Of Gov. EspE1ETa.

Wings will have a majority in the Legislature
and the election of Dudley, over Branch, the V.

HoxRID MURDKR.-A most cruel
and diabolical murder was committed
on Jackson's river, in Bath county, on
Friday last the 10th inst. Two chill.
drsn, daughters Of George Mayse, Esq.
the one about six, the other about Sc
ven years ofage, we're found with their
Threats cut, lying near the gate leading
10 their fathers house. They had
been at school three quarters Of mile
distant, and circumstances go far to
show that they been intercepted by
some of Mr.. Mayse's servants on their
return home, and that they did the
horrid deed. Three OF them, we learn
are implicated-a negro woman and
her daughter, and negro boy, all Of
whom have been committed to Bath
Jail. Ii is said that the i'll temper Of
the woman had been greatly excited
by something which had occurred in
the family, and thus cruelty and saw
agely, il would seem, has she wreaked
her vengeance. This is certainly one
of the most unmitigated and horrible
instances Of depravity that it has ever
been our lot to record-and deep and
bitter is the anguish which it must in
