| Advices from Havana state that the utmost ex-
element prevailed there relative to the invasion of
the island. Many persons had been thrown into
prison on suspicion of sympathizing with Lopez.
Three priests had been arrested on the charge of
preaching mutinous sermons. The man (prevlous-
ly mentioned) who attempted to bride over scveral
pilots to the cause Of Lopez was executed the day
the Georgia sailed-immediatcly after his convic-
| ton by the court.
Matters at Havana were becoming 80 serious that
| many families were leaving the place. The Cap
tain General was taking every precaution to repel
invasion. Lookouts were stationed all along the
! coast. Some American seamen who
drunken froc, and had created disturbance had
been arrested and their heads put into the stocks,
from the effects of which two Of them had died.
The news from California amounts to but little
more than that brought by the Alabama. The
heavy rains prevalent in the gold region for the
last ten days had enabled the miners to wash the
dirt they had thrown out, and considerable in
crease in the shipments of gold were expected.
The foreign miners tax had been repealed.
