The steamship Georgia, arrived yesterday, brings
us advices from Havana to the lst inst
The greatest excitement existed in Havana in re-
iation to the news Of expected invasion many
had been put in prison on suspicion, and among
them three priests for preaching mutinous sermons
The day the Georgia arrived, was celebrated by
the execution Of poor wretch who was sent over
by Lopez to obtain pilots for the expedition. He
was tried in open court, and the evidence was SO
strong that be was Immediately executed pre-
vious to which, no subjected to great torture,
for the purpose Of extorting confession.
This is the first execution that has taken place
for political Offences, and it has created some ill
feeling against the Cove nor General; and his
conduct in executing person who did not seem to
know that he was committing crime, has been
vcrely criticised.
Matters were becoming serious and alarming
in Havana, that many preparing to leave.
The Captan-General is taking every precaution to
guard against an invasion; lookouts are stationed
AL along the coast, within two miles Of each other,
and the vessels Of war kept cruising between
San Antonio and Havana. One Of the steamers,
the Cuba, ashore the Coorados when the
Georgia passed, and the Pzarro had gone to her

American seamcn and the inhabitants. The sea-

Havana, May l. 1851.
Tie Excitement IN The City The Ereeuion of one of
LoYe-'s Mor, &c.
No appearance yet Of the Filibusteros;" but
like the story of the shepherd boy and the wolf,
these people have, for tho last few weeks, been so
constantly kept in state of great excitement by the
cry ''they are coming'' that they are becoming
tired Of the subject, and may be really taken by
surprise, as they were on the 10Th May last year
About two weeks ago, young man, a native Of
the Canary Islands, named Gracilliano Monies de
Oca, was arrested in this city for endeavoring to
bride certain pilots to proceed to New Orleans, to
join the expedition against this island. Said Mon
ties dc Oca, it is said, denounced by lawyer Of
this city, named Carsta Gonzales, tried by court
martial Saturday last, and publ ely garotcd
at 6, A. NJ, Of the 18th instant. lIe was about
thirty-two years Of age, and rather q respectable
looking man. lie could not BIO induced to mako
any confession, did he implicate any other per-
son in the affair. Ii is also said Of him that the
day before he was executed, in reply to the enlea-
yors made to cause him to say who the parties
were who engaged him IN this business that though
it was in his power to cupate others, nothing on
earth would make him do so, and, therefore, it was
useless to question him further tho subject. lie
made n few remarks a. the place Of execution, to
the effect that he trusted Sod would forgive him,
for the crime for which no was about to die
was more the consequence OF his youth and mex
pericnce than any desire to do wrong to his country
Ii is considered very harsh proceeding on the part
this government; and the conduct Of the spy, Con-
zales, IL universally condemned.
Except this incident, and considerable robberies
which have recently occurred in the city, nothing
else worth communicating has taken place since
my last.
