THE NEWS FROM HAVANA.

rRox TEE NEW ronK coxMxRcIAL ADvEaTIsER.
The information kindly prepared for the press
by the Purser of the steamer Georgia shows, so far
as it goes, the entire suppression Of the insurgents
One sentence shows that we have not erred in our
judgment 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 an account by no means hos
tile to the insurgents. We annex the substance OF
this account:
"The Government receiyed some important news the
night the Georgia arrived which resulted IN the sailing OF AZ

large scale as possible, between the tribes
along the Atlantic shore and in the isterior
and the States of ChI.stendom. It Is true
that something Is already done in that trade,
but nothing to what might be Ii 4 rea-
sonable portion OF the millions expended
for men-of-war to cruise of the coast were
devoted to al end OF positive utility Ike
this. rot only would the siave-t-ade be sup
pressed with little delay. and suppressed for
ever, but Z commerce would be established
which would be perpetual source of profit
10 both parties, and the money, instead Of
being thrown away a. now, would b. well
invested. And yet this idea has no; been
suggested. that We remember, in any Of the
annual debates which the British Parlil-
ment regularly devote - the subject. GER

some fortnight ago. Ia these debates one
party generally propose to recall the squad

larger cargoes and pack them closer, BY
way of balancing the risk e capture
while the other party merely contend, that

and that it ought 20 be lost again the year
ensuing and the latter opinion Is generally
adopted
The United States. from their peculiar
relations with Liberia, are layorably stu
ated to undertake this great commercial en-
terprize for the final suppression of the
slaye-trade. For this purpose. 4 line of
steamers running between this country and
Liberia would be required They should be
large enough to possess the highest quail
ties of speed and capacity for transporta
tea, so that their trips might be made rap
idlv, and large cargoes be taken. Such a
line of steamers, making passage each
way once month, would have the best
possible effect on the destiues of Africa.
They would be missionaries teaching civil
ization and peace, with power and influence
little short Of miraculous The enterprise
ought to be undertaken, either with or with
ont The aid of the Government though we
think it well deserves te receive the same
assistance which has been given to other
lines Of ocean steamers. on the same terms;
namely. that, in case of need. the Govern
ment shall have the right to take the ships
and convert them to It's own use. Certainly
no other way of building up a steam navy
can be 50 economical or so efficient.
