The English steamer Aberdeen arrived
at New Orleans on the LIST of April, from
Havana. The Aberdeen had dropped
anchor in the harbor, and communicated
with the English Consul. She lies below
the Vegetable Market, on the other side,
being the first English steamer ever seen
10 these waters.
Fanny Elssler came passenger, having
escaped in male attire. She had refused
compliance with the governors decree to
dance for the orphans, and orders were
issued for her arrest. All her wardrobe,
carriage and horses, were left, and Mr..
WyckoH is probably in prison, as an abet-
tor oil her escape.
The Aberdeen is ballasted with Paix.

men.

senger.
The English squadron was hourly ex-
pected from the West India station, to
take measures for the release Of the En-
gllsh subjects now in prison.
The Aberdeen had a long passage from
England. She foated over the bar east
ly, drawing IS feet 3 inches of water.
She took pilot 80 miles from the Balize.
When she left, the steamers Tay and
Dee were ready to sail. The Clyde was
waiting to take the English Consul, should
he find it necessary to leave.
There is no doubt but England has an
eye 10 the acquisition of Cuba.

presence of some gentlemen Of the Oppo-

the grand Saloon was lighted. gave daz.
