LATE FROM HAVANA.

| LATE FROM HAVANA.
Welast Sunday evening saw gentleman direct from
Havana. who, having beena passenger in the steam
er Isabel far as Charleston had made the trip to
this city in less than six days. He states that Ha-
vana was filled with rumors Of revolt against the
Government in the eastern part of the Island which
many persons supposed to be of serious nature.
Among the reports is one that at Puerto Principe
three companies of the regiment of Cantabra threw
down their arms and went over to the Creole in
surgents. The remainder of the regiment has been
publicly disbanded at Havana. Another report is,
that the people of San Juan de los Remedies are in
open insurrection, and have already established
Provisional Government. 1t is also said that at
Tunas detachment of Spanish troops were de-
feated, whilst in pursuit of the insurgents, with
loss of two or three hundred men. This loss and
defeat, however, according to our information, may
have been the result of accident as the troops are
stated to have been crossing river in scow,
which suddenly sunk, whereby large number
were drowned. All we have on the subject of
these reported outbreaks in the Gaceta de la
Habaaa'' of Tuesday, the 22d instant, now before
US, is an Official Publication of which the following
is translation:

. HAvAsA, JULY 81, 1851.
We give place below to all the reports which
have reached us from the South on the subject of
the reported nsurrection in Cuba. 1t is needless
to say that in the shape in which they reach u.s. we
do not place confidence in all of them; for as the
reader will see, they in some points contradict each
other:
New ORLEANS, JULY 25.-The accounts from Havana
respecting the revolution Puerto Principe have created The
lveiest enthusiasm among the friends of Cuban ndepen
dence in this CITY, There large meeting and
tochght procession last night in celebration Of the
New ORLEANS, JULY 25.-We learn from person who
escaped from Cuba that the report of the uprising Puerto
Principe is correct The movement premature, and
failed principally for want Of Much dissatisfaction
prevails in the mountainous parts of the island great
blow for liberty is thought will be struck in No.smbsr
New ORLEAEs, JULr 2o.-The steamship Falcon has
arrived this port from Havana Private advces state that
Cuba Large bands of the insurgents in the
ans, and supposed the nsurrecton would spread
pdly fight between portion of the insurgents and
corps of Government ancers resulted in the defeat Of the
ancers, and they afterwards joined the enemy. The Gov
ernmen was beginning to manifest considerable alarm.
NEW ORLEANS, JULY 25, P. MA private letter has
been received here from highly influential American mer-
chant in Havana, stating that the Spanish Government is
smOner OF
at Puerto Principe, in order to prevent creating sensation
in the United States The nsureconary movement is re-
presented as being quite formidable.
SAVANNAH, JULr 26.-The steamer Isabel from Havana
has arrived and brings intelligence that the patriots had had
several engagements with the troops in of which the
latter defeated with the loss of three hundred men,
The troops desertng to the patriots The citizens Of
Matanzas were raising men to assist the Government.
CHARLEsToS, JULr 26.-The steamer Isabel being short
Of COAL put in Savannah. The Gordon brought up the
mail Col. Coni's regiment at Principe with nine officers
and thirty men, had been taken prisoners by the patriots
The say that the accounts exaggerated and
that the Government prepared for any emergency Eec-
ua means have been taken to prevent INVASION No alarm
felt.
We add to the above Telegraphic reports such
accounts of the alleged condition of things in Cuba
as we find in the newspapers Of Charleston, where
the steamer Isabel landed the most of her passen
gers. We copy from the Courier, though the state
ments in all the papers are substantially the same,
and all equally contradictory in their representa-
tons. Order and quiet prevailed at Havana:
PROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER OF SATURDAY.
The political intelligence from Cuba highly interesting
but Of very contradictory We give, however, the
different reports we have heard them. |
There had been, not denied far accounts in
form rising of the Creole population at and Puerto
Principe, San Juan, &c., which had been joined by part
OF the Spanish troops in the neghbohood It is stated that
the colonel Of regiment stationed near Principe had inform
