FROM HAVANA.
The information kindly prepared for The press
by the purser of the Georgia shows, so far as it
goes, the entire suppression of the insurgents
One sentence shows that we have not erred in
our Judgment ofthe matter, for it is expressly de-
cared that "those who had raised the standard of
liberty consisted of small parties acting without
concert, and were easily put down by the troops"
This fact is embodied in an account by no means
hostile to the insurgents. We annex the SUBJ
stance of this account:
The government received some important news the
night the Georgia arrived. which resulted in the sailing
OF all the fleet OF war vesselsin port with the excep
ton OF the steamer Pzarro. This was effected in the
most quiet manner possible in the sight of the LIST inst
1t was rumoured that an armed force was gathering
the Florida reels, and that part of the fleet had
been despatched in that quarter Expresses were ar
irving every hour from the interior, but the officials
kept every thing so quiet that it was impossible to
learn the particulars OF the events
The government paper had been printed two days,
and is said to have contained some exciting from
the nteriorbut its issue prohibited until after the
departure OF The American steamers. Several execu-
lions have taken place. and but for the refusal Of
OF the regiments to fire on the condemned, there would
have been many more.
Pardon has been promised to all the nsurreconists
who lay down their arms, with the exception of the
leaders, who will be executed or sent to Spain. Those
who had raised the standard Of liberty, consisted oil
small parties acting without concert, and were easily
put down by the troops 1t is said but few lives were
spared among those found with arms in their hands, as
they were killed on the spot.
Government fees some anxiety with regard to the
loyalty OF the troops, as many regiments supposd to
be dsafected. Many of the troops lately arrived from
Spain have died from exp 'sure, being unable to stand
the climate. There report that an insurrection
had been attempted in Mataazas and troops had been
ordered 10 march to that quarter The result had not
been heard when the Georgia sailed.
Havana papers are to the LIST inst. The dispatches
from various parts of the island announce perfect
quillity. The guerilla band at Puerto Principe
broken up, and the surrender of its remnant .conrm
ed four members only of it excepted, and these were
seen on the way to Nuevitas, designing probably
cape from the island.

2lst Of July, states that Augustine Aguero Artega

Aguero, had presented themselves to the commissary
of the town OF Baza soliciting pardon.

I1eUI, at rancho not rom NueVltas. ne COH1-
mandant General otthe Centre, Morales de Rada, con-
graduates the Governor that this terminates the
paci6cation of the country. He commends in high
terms the resolution and perseverance shown by the
column who captured The chief of the instruction,
Aguero, after long pursuit in various directions by
night and day.
At Cienfuegos party of the patriots, closely press
ed had left the horses they rode. and sought refuge in
forest, which the government troops had surrounded
that escape impossible The Bulletin of the
29th Of July, in which this is announced closes the &C
count with SAYING that tranquility is perfectly
cured in that part of Cuba in every other quarter OF
the island.
A letter from Puerto Principe dated July %, and
published in the Havana Diario de la Marina, OF the
3Oth OF July, says "Ihe city appears like hospital.
There is scarcely house in which there not some
member of the family confined to his bed, and in
all are SICK, without even domestic to attend him,
and their friends cannot supply them with servants
since they are in the condition themselves. Hap
PLY the epidemic is fatal, especially in the OF
adults and runs its course rapidly.
Since the above was written we have been favored by
commercial house in this city with the perCsal of he
correspondence from Matanzas which is of the latest
date 1t gives that the whole island of Cuba
is now perfectly tranquil The Spanish troops had be-
haved with great gallanlry, and maintained the most
perfect discipline in their operations against the guer
las who were utterly routed, and nearly all taken pr
soners. The government said 10 treat their capyes
with clemency, rather than with rigor.
