speaks Of the perfect panic at Havana; an
other says that the merchants and bankers
were removing their money to the forts =
There was not even an excitement here nor a
stirring scene, beyond the passing to and fro
OF the military, aud the appearance Of citr
zcns in the streets with muskets, on their
way to some OF the rendezvous. Merchants
and at, others. attended 10 their business as
usual. Ships were loaded. money paid out
for their curgoes, as if nothing unusual had
occurred. II is to be hoped now that the

their creed to convert all other nations TO its
doctrines, Will be convinced that to redress
the grievances Of the Cubanos, or to change
their form Of Government, it is indispensa-
bic that the leading men Of the Island
should bc consulted, and their co operation
solicited
Besides, these enthusiastic republicans
make no allowance for the fact that Il vast
