As to Che real guilt Of the Spanish Consul we
can only say that as yet no testimony has been adj

FRoa HAvANA-Th Steamship Isabel has made
her last Trip for ihe season between Havana and
Charleston. She left Havana on the 22d. and
reached Charleston on the 2lth ia fifty.ve hours,
having stopped to leave her mails At Key West and
Savannah. Her punctuality has been remarkable /
The Savannah Republican says that she has not
varied four hours in The time Of her arrival at
Tybee, on any "Trip during the season. She will re-
sumo her trips on the lstof October. In the in
term her place win be supplied by sailing vessels,

ing official approval, BY che Home Government, Of
the establishment Of a line Of steamers between
Havana and cadiz
The passengers on the Isabel report the yellow

their notions on that subject from the New Orleans
press. Rey was still under the American flag, and
as much entitled to the projection Of The national
sovereignty as ifhe was upon American soil We
do not hear that the abductofa" put him in con
inement or gagged him into silence. If he was
not willing to 60 on shore, we shall hear something
OF the atlemptto take him OUT of an American YES
sci by force, and the American Consul will have
something to say that win be heard Of We shall
look, by the next arrival from Havana, for the par
iiculars Of the way in which he has been taken
from the protection Of the Andrew Ring, in which
vessel he was last heard Of and whether the owners
of thai American vesael are paftiesio new plot

EXPLANATION ~ CoNsIDRRANT. Victor Con-
sidefant has written a letter upon The affairs Of

to assume.
