We clip the subloned account from the Charles
ton Mercury Of Saturday:
InPoRrAHr FROM CUBA.-We are indebted 10 a
gentleman who haa resided for some time in Cuba
Tor the following items, which confirm the intclli,
gence we have been receiving for some DAVIS nast
There has been a rising OF the Creole population at
and near Puerto Principe, San Juan. which had
been joined by part OF the Spanish troops In the
neighborhood. II is stated that colonel Of a regi-
ment stationed near Principe had informed the au-
thorities at Havana that he had but fragment of
his regiment left. The regiment of Leon stationed
at MatanZas, had become so insubordinate that the
officers had advised the government that the men
could not be depended on, and the regiment had
been removed to some other part of the island.
The authorities have stopped all sealed commu-
ncations between different parts of the island since
the 10th instant, and all communications had to go
through the mails opened, unless written by some
official. Views and feelings are now expressed in
Havana that would not have been attempted few
weeks since, and meeting Of the Hahaneros favor
able to independence was to have been held a few
days before the sailing OF the Isabel, but the place
of meeting having become known to the govern.
ment II was taken possession OF by military force,
and the purpose thereby frustrated. If the insur-
gents meet with success in the interior, an insur-
rection will take place in Havana Immediately. An
elderly gentleman who has been planter for some
years on the island, and who possessed sugar es-
tate valued at one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, sold out for one hundred thousand, and came
passenger in the Isabel.
The above 10 the substance of statements which
we have received from different sources. A con-
Trajectory one has been furnished by mer-
chant oil high respectaoility, who vouches for the
character and intelligence of his informant. The
statement is follows:
''The instruction at Principe is an affair that
has created no alarm in the Island of Cuba, and
the exaggerated reports published in the papers
have their origin at Havana with the sole object of
making an excitement in the United States The
leader of the insurrectionists, Senior Aguero, had
been taken prisoner with number Of his follow

themselves up to the government if they were as
sured of pardon. Havana and all other parts of
the Island tranquil usual. Cholera and yellow
fever prevailing to some extent"
The Savannah Republican OF Friday publishes
the following letter:
HAVANA, July 81, 1851.
MY DEAR FRIEND: Notwithstanding you may
have heard of the movement at Principe, on the
4th OF July, which was very happily conducted
and Of that to follow in Tunas, Holguin, Bayamo,
Trinidad, Baracoa, Guamutas, Guanajay, Pinar
del Rio, send you the following: The patriots
from Principe in the mountains of Cascorro,
whence they sailed forth and destroyed the whole
command of Brig. Gen. Cont, while he was cross
ing the river Najasa The patriots captured Cen
c. and killed about one hundred of his men, while
fifty drowned. The movement at Tunas has
been complete, also that at Hoguin; both points
are in the power of the Liberators, and they have
formed provisional government.
How very ridiculous it il that by the last mail
the governor did not ndvise the public one word of
this; but, the contrary, states that all is quiet
An official statement appears in the Gaceta,
ceived here by last nights mail, giving an account
in which the ''Liberators, commanded by Don
Joaquin Aguero, had met the government troops,
and that the Lberators lost five men, eleven horse
and some ammuntion-and Providence has so or
dained il that hare not lost man" This
speaks clear enough what is passing, and is sup
pressed by the government in order to keep down
people, and keep them in ignorance of the real
state of affairs. We know we'll enough that the
Spanish troops did lose in this action twenty onc
men, and had cowardly fled, and that only three
of the patriots killed and five wounded. This
ia the truth.
The Captain General has received news from
the Governor of Matanzas that the Galatians and
Creoles had united in a conspiracy, and that he
was in dread that the revolution would break out
every instant.
My friends, all that is wanted for universal
raising Of the people is sympathy from the United
States.
