"ulch grew out Of the matter was heightened by the mp
iearance OF The US ship of wal Germantlwn on the
Havana waters. As soon as she eamo to anchor she was
boarded by The Cuban authorities. who made many in
gniles, and manifested much anxiety 10 know the object

Ell tIal II had no reference to any special subject. The
Germanlown remained only II hours, aud lheu sailed

The Falcon BROUGHT a large pIle of dispatches from
the American Caasul. connected with the subject, which
we hope the Government VIII place before the public ls
soon as possible.
