The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1848-09-01


Bv the brig Salvatore, Captain Evans, we have
received our files of Havana papers to tie 23d ut.
If We may Judge from the contents of the papers,
the island remains in a state Of the most pollect
tranquility; indeed We find no local news worth
recording.
The Diario de Ia Marina has news 10 the 18th
from Puerto Rico At that time everything was
quiet. BY a royal order the Count de Reus had
been superseded in the Office Of Captain General,
by General Juan de Ia PeZuela. The former per.
sonage met with a sad accident few days pre-
vously. While riding out, he was thrown from his
horse, and his leg broken by the fall.
VENEzUELA-A letter from Caracas, dated the
2Cth of June, says that Monegas was expected at
that place on the 2lst, which gave great alarm TO a.
portion of the population.
Business was completely Frustrated, many CAPT
talists having already departed and others Prepar-
ing to DO SO.
Nothing is said of Paez and his partisans, from.
which silence it may be inferred that he is engaged
in developing some further plans. Late dates from.
ST Thomas state that he was still at that island,
where he had been received with the greatest honOrs
SANTA CRUz.-The war steamer Bazan had ar.
rived at Puerto Rico, with half of the expedition
which was sent to aid in supPressing the Santa
Cruz Instruction Order has been completely.
reGstablished in the island. The Spanish soldiers,
on leaving, were accompanied to the vessel by.
numbers of the grateful population, who testified to-
their good department and discipline.
GUATEMALA.-This country still remains in a
distracted state, many parts being in open rebellion
The important department Of Chiquimula had pro-
nonnced against the government.
On the 18th battle was fought between a few
hundred of the government troops and six hundred
insurgents The combat lasted with great fury for
some hours, and at first the rebels had the advan
tage; but the great intrepidity of President Car
rera-whO was present-and the determined valor
of the troops finally prevailed, and the insurgents
were forced retreat with the loss of 50 killed.
Some difficulty seems to have takens place be-
tween the government and the French consult
general. The latter mad broken off his relations
with the government on account of some offensive
remarks in the official Gazette, which he said ndi
Gated spirit of malevolence towards France and
her new institutions.
