IMPORTANT FROM HAvANA.-We are in receipt
of private advices from Havana of considerable in-
terest. Our informant may be relied upon.
The Governor General has requested Commo-
dore McKeever to delay his departure for day or
two. The Impression upon our informant s mind
was that arrangements would speedily be complet-
ed with respect to the persons held prisoners by
Spanish authorities. 49,
1t is not improbable that Count de Alcoy would
much prefer to settle the matter through the COM
modore of an American squadron, specially de-
spatched for that purpose, than through any less
diplomatic agent. We expect that the prisoners
will be promptly given up on the arrival of Com
modore Morris
& We also infer, from the tenor of the commune
cation made to us, that the official dispatches re.
ceived, or yet to be received, by our Government,
will, when published, throw considerable light
upon the rumor respecting the threatened attack
upon the American Consul ut Havana. We do
not feel at liberty at present to communicate all
know of this matter. Suffice it to say, that the
relations between the consul and the Spanish ati-
thortes are such that, although by virtue of his
office he presented Commodore Mckeever to the
Captain General, he was not invited to the com,
plimentary banquet subsequently given to the
Amerlcan officers.
We know, also, that an American, understand
ing the position of affairs, took occasion to inform
the Governor General of the fears Of Mr.. Camp
bell, and the apprehended attack OF the people
upon his person and residence. Count de Alcoy,
smiling with incredulity, at once summoned the
chief of police, and demanded Of him whether he
had known or heard of any threats or design of
the kind. He promptly replied, 'sNo." s'Then,''
said the Count, :" do you believe it probable that
any such design could have been in agitation and
you not have known it, to which the reply as
promptly, and no doubt with perfect truth,
No, sir. 'sWell,'' said the Count to him,
sssee, sir, to it, that no such attempt be made,
and that no such threats be heard.'' And
Their turning to the gentleman, he said, 'Sir, not
only is the person and residence of the American
consul is in sure keeping under my authority, but
the person and property of every American citizen
in Cuba. I"
We are well assured also that the Spanish au-
thorities thoroughly understand the views and
feelings of the American Government, and appre-
ciate them too; and that they no less understand
themselves. The whole matter, we have no doubt,
will be amicably settled, on terms entirely sasfac
tory to the United States.
The Congress was about to sail for Rio de ia
nero; the Germantown for Pensacola, and the
Albany, at an early day, for Boston.
