THE NEWS FROM HAVANA.
Arrival Of the Georgia.

Our telegraphic despatch yesterday morning,
like many Geographic dispatches, imper-
feet that readers will receive very acceptable
the following account of the Georgia's news which
we copy from the New York Courier and Enquirer
Of Monday, June 10th
The United States mail steamer Georgia. Lieut..
ID. d. Porter arrived last evening from Chagres, by
way Of Havana and Kingston. She is compelled TO
anchor at quarantine and at late hour last night
the mails had not been sent up.
The Georgia sailed from Chagrcs May 26th, and
has arrived in four days from Havana, with the
mails and passengers TO NJ. o. Roberts. The
Georgia stopped at Porto Cabello and Kingston
for coal The United States steamer Saranac, bear
ing the broad pennant Of Commodore Tatnall, en-
tered tho harbor previous TO the Georgas sailing,
and was 10 leave the same afternoon. The soops-
Of war Albany and Germantown were cruising off
the harbor.
At u O'Clock ON the 5th an American brig, from
which were taken some California emigrants, sup
posed TO be invaders, towed past the Georgia
end Saranac, in the upper harbor A ship, name
unknown, was captured AT the same time, and an
chored at the mouth Of the harbor. The persons
taken in these vessels confined In the Moro
Castle, and all access to them has been denied tho
American consul. IL IL generally believed in Ha-
that there is evidence against these vessels
the prisoners, the vessels being regularly cleared
for Chagres, and captured on the coast OF fucatan
Havana il comparatively quiet, though tho militia
arc being drilled regularly every day, and speak
quito contemptuously Of the American heroes who
were 80 easily driNcn on from OaFuehH ~ WIS
reported in Havana that they were the picked men
of jefferson Davs's regiment engaged I'm the Mexi-
can war. The soldiers and officers were quite in
dgnant towards the Americans-no passengers be-
ing allowed to land and the aptains OF the steamers
got shore with much difficulty.
The captain of the Ohio was arrested by party
Of soldiers (although he had passpor) and pa
raded about the streets some time.
Out Of the persons capturcd from the Lopez party
expedition, -four we're shot one was rcpncvcd
for some reason unknown. These men, u was
said, were not soldiers, but sailors who had wan
dered from the boat and had been kept behind
They were returning leisurely TO the shore when
they arrested and shot
All the officers and men engaged in the fight
against Lopez were literally rewarded-thc officers
receiving crosses Of honor, the men money. Those
wounded pcnsioncd for life, and also the
widows and children of those killed. II Is said that
had Lopez held Cardenas ono day longer, he would
have been joined by large party Of patriots, who
were ON the point Of rising against the authorities
but his defeat has checked any expression of opin
/ ion and those most disafTected are loudcst in
| the support of government. The government, new
erthelees have taken the most active measures TO
secure themselves against invasion, and their
whole naval force is kept ready for and cruis
boats ready for landing. One ship Of the line, a
/ frigatc, and a steamer were in port; the rest
were scattered along the coast
| The Falcon sailed on the 4th with four hundred
| and sixty passengers for Chagres The Saranac
was TO sail for Norfolk on the 5th; officers and crew
| of the United States vessels all well.
The cholera had subsidized in Havana, very few
cases having teen reported; there are few cases
among the negroes on the plantations.
The Havana papers which we have received con
tain nothing Of any interest.
