UeorSia, at tnat port:
The information kindly prepared for the press
by the purser of the Georgia shows, SO far as 1t
goes, the entire suppression of the insurgents.
One sentence shows that we haye not erred in
our Judgment Of the matter, for it is expressly
declared that " those who had raised the stand
ard Of liberty consisted Of small parties acting
without concert, and were easily put down by
the troops !" This fact is embodied in an ac-
count by no means hostile to the insurgents
We annex the substance of this account
The government received some important
news the night the Georgia arrived, which re-
suited in the sailing Of all the fcet Of war yes
sells in port, with the exception of the steamer
Pizar0 This was effected in the most queit
manner possible in the night of the LIST instant.
1t was rumored that an armed force was gath
| ering on the Florida reefs, and that q part of
the feet had been despatched in that quarter
Expresses were arriving every hour from the
interior, but the officials kept every thing SO
quiet that it was impossible to learn the parti-
culars of the events. ad q
| The government paper had been printed two
days, and is said to have contained some excl
| ting news from the interior-but its issue was
prohibited until after the departure of the
American steamers. Several executions have
taken place, and but for the refusal of one Of
the regiments to fire on the condemned, there
l WOulu nave Deen many more. y58s rs $7s s5
Pardon has been promised to all the insur-
rectionists who lay down their arms, with the
exception Of the leaders, who will be executed
or sent to Spain. Those who had raised the
standard of liberty consisted of small parties,
acting without concert, and were easily put
down by the troops. 1t is said but few lives
were spared among those found with arms in
their hands, as they were killed on the spot.
Government feels some anxiety with regard
to the loyalty Of the troops, as many regiments
are supposed to be disafected. Many of. the
troops lately arrived from Spain have died from
exposure, being unable to stand the climate.
There was report that ON insurrection had
been attempted in Matanzas, and troops had
been ordered to march to that quarter. The
result had not been heard when the Georgia
sailed.
| There may be some doubt about one or two
things mentioned in this account, but they
scarcely merit comment. Some anxiety was
felt mt Havana respecting the American sympa-
thizers; but as by this time the armed vessels
of the United States are acting in concert with
Spanish cruizers, Lopez and his band, if they
have sailed, will probably suffer for their teme-
rity
Havana papers are to the 1st instant. The
dispatches from various parts Of the island an
| nounce perfect tranquility. The guerilla band
at Puerto Principe was broken up, and the sur
render Of it's remnant is confirmed, four mem
bers only of it excepted, and these were seen
i on the way to Nuevitas, designing probably to
escape from the island.
| A despatch from the Governor of Nuevitas,
dated the 21st of July, states that Augustin
Aguero y Artega, Jose Angustin Aguero y San
chex, and Miguel Aguero y Aguero, had pre-
scented themselves to the commissary of the
town of Baza, soliciting pardon.
A =. a ~..ux Al
dant General of the Centre, dated the 29th Of
July, relates the capture of seven Of the princi-
pal leaders of the revolt on the twenty-fourth,
by company of cavalry, after short engage
ment, at a rancho not far from Nuevitas.
Among them were Joaquin Aguero Aguero
and Jose Tomas Betancont, who attempted to
escape after their companions had surrendered;
they were overtaken by the horsemen, however,
and secured. The Commandant General Of the
Centre, Morales de Rada, congratulates the
governor that this event terminates the pacifca-
ton of the country. He oommends in high
terms the resolution and perseverance shown
| by the column who captured the chief of the in
surrection, Aguero, after long pursuit in va
rious directions by day and night.
At Cienfuegos, a party Of the patriots, closely
pressed, had left the horses they rode, and
sought refuge in forest which the government
| troops had surrounded, so that escape was inn
possible. The bulletin of the 29th of July, in
which this is announced, closes the account
with saying that tranquility is now perfectly
| secured in that part of Cuba as in every other
| quarter Of the island. m s
| A letter from Puerto Principe, dated July %,
and published in Havana Diario de la Marina of
the 30th of July, says: :" The city appears like
hospital There is scarcely house in which
there is not some member of the family confined
to his bed, and in some all are sick, without
/ even domestic TO attend him, and their friends
/ cannot supply them with servants, since they
are in the same condition themselves Happily
the epidemic is not fatal, especially in the case
of adults, and runs its course rapidly"
| Since the above was written, we have been
| favored by a commercial house in this city with
the perusal of their correspondence from Ma
tanzas, which is Of the latest date. 1t gives
assurance that the whole island of Cuba is now
perfectly tranquil The Spanish troops had
behaved with great gallahtry, and maintained
the most perfect discipline in their operations
against the guerillas, who were utterly routed
and nearly all taken prisoners. The Govern
ment are said to treat their captives with Glenn
ency, rather than with rigor.
The foregoing accounts are derived from
sources unfriendly to the Cubans, and we dc
not altogether rely upon them. Counter state
ments are made by the friends of the revolu
tionary party, and many of them are published
in the morning papers. The next arrival viii
determine the truth Of what has been done
while the above, in our opinion, by no means
indicates what yet may be done. The execution
Of the prisoners taken does not afford gooc
grounds of hope for future submission.
4 The reported shooting of DIR. L. G. Gum, o.
Philadelphia, editor of the Sonora (Caifornia)
Herald, is not true. The San Francisco Hegdfd,
of the lst Of July, says the whole story Is un-
founded, one Of the newspapers having been
imposed upon. We are glad to see the contra
, dictinn there are nets of violence enough re-
