From the Picayune, Oct. 6
LATE FROM HAVANA.

The brig Hayne, Captain Williams, arrived yes
terday from Havana, having sailed thence the ID
inst. She brings us dates to the 30th September,
but the news is not important.
Captain. General O'Donnel has been ill., and some
of his earlier symptoms strongly resembled yell
low fever, that apprehensions were entertained In
regard to him. but he is since convalescent, and
concern is felt for him. In regard to the health Of
Havana, we have official report down to the 25th
September. The yellow fever was subsiding The
number Of cases for the month ending the 25th, was
36l less than in the preceding month.
Sefor d. Ignacio Basadre, an ex-minister of Santa
Anna, arrived in Havana the 26th, from Sisal on
the Spanish brig Emilio, on his war to Mexico. He
had been there attending to Santa Annals In
teres,s in Yocatan and Tabasco. The papers do not
say whether he has passport from our government
to enter Vera Cruz He will probably bring box of
cigars and take the English steamer. He proved
very efficient in managing Yucatan, which is just as
neutral as Mexico wishes.
The Havana editors are congratulsting their read
upon their escaping the violence of the equinoc-
al gales.
We learn from Captain Williams that the steam
boat Guadalupe, formerly belonging to Mexico,
had been tried at Havana after undergoing repairs,
and the greatest speed that could be got out of her
was eight knots. She was to sail for Spain on the
4th instant. The remainder of the French squad.
ron, consisting of frigate, soop aud one steam-
had arrived at Havana and fired salute OF fifteen
guns, which was answered by thirteen from the
castle. The French commander formally demand
ed two more, and they we're given. The French
vessels that had previously arrived at Havana had
sailed for Vera Cruz. .H ...
