ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP
@ FL [ O

FindIey Schenck, U. S. N, commanding, ar
rived at her wharf foot of st. Mary street, /
Lafayette, this morning at 7 o'clock. She /
left Havana on the morning of the 9TH.
The news from Havana and the interior
parts of the island is of little interest or i'm |
portance. Order is again restored, and every
thing is moving along the same as usual.
The 105 prisoners, captured by the Span
sh steamer PiZarro, yet remain on hoard |
of Havana. Judge Marion ana Collector
Thompson of Key West, lately visited the
Capt;in General for the purpose Of efecting
their release but as yet have been unsuccess- !
fol.
What disposition the Spanish Government
intends to make of them is not known.
The war steamer Saranac bearing the
broad pennant Of Com. Tatnall, and the
soops Albany and Germantown, part of the
/ Home Squadron, arrived off the Moro and
were about entering the harbor when the
/ Ohio left.
Two Spanish frigates were in sight, off to
to the northward, A vigant watch Is kept
/ in every direction for interceptng all expedi-
tonarY movements towards the island.
The Ohio brings the California mails and
about ninety passengers, thirty-lour OF whom
are from Chagres and Havana. Tie rest are
from New York Among the latter is Cap
tain J. J. Wright, late Of the steamship
Alabama.
She brings no later intelligence from Cal
lornia, having been anticipated by the Ala
hama, which left Chagres previous 10 the
Georgia. The Falcon and Georgia left Ha
vana on the morning OF the 9th. the former
for Chagres, and the latter for New York.
! By the arrival Of the steamship Ohio, we
have received cur full files of Havana papers
to the 9th last. They, Of course, abound with
details OF the recent GLORIOUS victory" achiev-
ed over The pirates" in proestatlOns OF the
fidelity of the inhabitants Of the island; in
gori4ications of Spanish valor, and in hosan-
nahs to the Most Gracious Isabella4
The Captain General, as a reward to the
valiant officers and soldiers who were engag-
ed in the unheard OF victory over the fiibuS-
; teroS has granted promotions and brevets
and decorations to about forty of the military
profession and eight or ten civilians. The il
, lustri0us Gen. Roncali in his address on this
! interesting occasion, commences as follows:
SOLdieTS-YOu already know that gang
of pirates algeuaes and buccaneers, on the
, morning of The 18th of May surprised the de-
fencecss town of Cardenas, robbing the royal
treasury, ana delivering themselves up to all
kinds Of excuses.
Buta handful of valiant men from among
yourselves, aided by some generous and brave
flows Undecided, and in whom it exists noble
sentiment Of nationality, sulficed quickly t.
I chaRiise the invaders and TO make them &c
emb@rS few hours after setting foot on oul
, / territory, leaving some prisoners in our pow
u er, carrying with them the greatest infamy
and the eXecraton and censure of the civil
ICED world.
A country so eminently loyal as this, defen
I ded by an army which is a model of dsci
pline, where proudly waves the Spanish flag
;. which sincerely loves and renders homage Il
y its adored Queen, can never be prolaned witt
., IimpRnity.
u The funeral ceremonies Of the persons kin
x cd at Cardenas were celebrated at that place
u on the 29th Git. A person writing from Car
y denas, says ol the dancers who took part il
Il the fight, that each one of them seqUal TO tel
