18th July, and 2,640,6SO on freight and
Sl65,000 in the hands of passengers, of
whom she has two hundred. She also brings
he California mails. She passed The En-
pire City going into Havana.
The accounts from Havana are Of the
most serious character. We are indebted
to the pursur of the Cherokee for the follow
ing fearful narrative:
The frigatc Hebe, while cruizing off a
place called Bahia Honda, 40 miles west of
captured party of 80 patriots who
were in boats unarmed; report says they
were steering for New Orleans; they were
brought into Havana by the frigate on Sat
urday morning, the 10Th inst, and were shot
about | o'clock the same morning on the
public road to Havana, in the presence Of
1000 spectators. There corpses were then
dragged along the streets by negroes, and
then left TO the mob, who commenced strip
ping them of their clothes and carrying them
on sticks through the city, yelling like fiends,
II appears the patriots were Americans.
and many of the passengers Of the Cherokee
who were on the spot, witnessed the eXecu-
ton, and were insulted in the streets in q
most shameful manner and reminded them
that they being Americans. were all Of the
party who would share the same fate one OF
these days. Such was the excited state OF
the populace, that it was dangerous for
Americans to be on the streets after night.

The steamer Falcon, OH her way mp the
coast of Cuba, from Chagres, was fired at
thirteen times by the Havana, and was OBJ
liged to heave to, when she was boarded by
Spanish, officers. This is the third time the
Falcon has been served in this manner.
We learn from passengers of the Falcon,
that on the morning of the 10Th, off Bahia
Honda, the Falcon discovered large steam
frigate in chase, standing directly across her
bow, but she kept her course and left the
frigate eight or ten miles astern; she proved
TO be the Isabella la Catolica, - formerly the
Cunard steamer Caledonia. While she was
still in chase another steamer hove in sight,
which also gave chase and succeeded in head
ing off the Falcon, and at first fired two guns
to leeward, of which she took no notice; she
came alongside and fired third gun across
her bows, though she had American colors
flying. The chase then ordered the Falcon tc
heave to, which was done, when the officers
boarded her.
