The steamer Falcon, on her way up tie coast
Of Cuba, from Chagres, was fred a, thirteen times;
by the steamer Havana, and was obliged 10
heave, TO when she was boarded by Spanish
officers. This is the third time the Falcon has
been served in this manner.
We learn from passengers Of the Falcon, that
on the morning OF the 10Th, off Bahia Honda, the
Falcon discovered large steam irigate in chase,
standing directly across her bow, but she kept
her course and left the frigate eight or ten miles
astern; she proved to be the .lsabella la Catoi-
ca" formeraliy the Cunard steamer Caledonia.
While she was still in chase, another steamer
ceeded in heading Off the Falcon, and at first
fred two guns TO leeward, of which she took mol
notice; she then ran alongside and fred third
gun across her bows, though she had American
colors flying. The chase then ordered the Falcon
10 heavo to, which was done, when the officers
boarded her.
