The Suppression of the Cuban Rebellion.
BY the arrival of the steamship Georgia at New
York from Havana, intelligence has been seceived
from the Island of Cuba, the general tenor Of
which, when scrupuousy weighed with all
the circumstances by which coming from
that island is surrounded, shows that the late in
surrection has been utter failure; that it was
commenced by handful of what the French call
erates, stimulated probably by parties exterior to
the island, nearly all of whom have paid a sad
penalty for their temerity and deluson. The fol-
lowing is summary and notice of this intelli-
gence which we find in the New York Commercial
advertiser:

by the purser of the Georgia shows, 30 far as it
goes the entire suppression Of the insurgents One
sentence shows that have not erred in our iudg-
ment of the matter, for it is expressly declared
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 account by no means hos
tile to the insurgents. We annex the substance Of
this account:
"The government received some important news
the night the Georgia arrived, which resulted in
tue sailing of the fleet of vessels in port with
the exception OF the steamer Pizarro. This was

ulars of the events.

days, and is said to have contained some exciting
