On the nigh, Of the Georgia's arrival
at Havana, nj; the feet Of war vessels W

sequence Of important news which the
Government had eceived.
II was rumored that an armed force
was gathering on the Florida Ieefs, and
that par, cf the aeet had been die
patched in that quarter.
The government paper had been
printed two days, and Is said to have
contained some exciting news from the
inte rior but its issue was prohibited un-
Ill af,cr the departure Of the American
steamers. Several executions have Ia
ken place, and but for the refusal Of one
Of the regiments to fire on the condemn
ed, there would have been many norel
Expresses were continually arriving
at Havana from the interior, but the
intelligence was carefully concealed; il
was the general belief that the insus-
rection had been suppressed.
Pardon has been promised to all the
insurrectionists 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. II ,s said but few
lives were spared among those found
with arms in their hands, as they were
killed on the spot.
The Government feels some anxiety
with regard to the loyalty Of the troops,
rs many regiments are supposed TO be
disaHected.
There was rumor Of an insurree,ion
at Matanzas, and troops had been or
dercd there; the resul, was not known
when the Georgia left.
II the troops continued faithful there
was no apprehension Of any effectual
movement among the islanders them
selves; but the eyes OF the government
were directed anxiously to the United
States, from which It was supposed ef.
tor,s would be made to support the in
snrgents. The government however
were on The alert, and vessels Of war
were on the watch at the most exposed
points; and should any Of the "6llibust-
ers' from this country TALL into the
hands Of the Spaniards, their lives wi
not be worth much.
Great excitement existed in Havana
at the time the Georgia sailed, owing
to the reception of the news OF the meet
ing held by the citizens Of New Orleans
in favor OF liberty and independence.

patch from the Commandant General OF

ton, that any reporter possibly put upon the pro-
ceedings will fail to excite any enthusiasm, afford
any encouragement to those who desire TO stay the
downward tendencies of the party, and make it once
more triumphant at the polls. The fire OF enthusiasm
which used inspire the hearts of the members of the
old Wing party, when they had principles to contend
for, has evidently gone out. The old sachems have
not the courage to raise the cry they have dis
like to meet the people in defence of the new issues

dress Of the Convention is tame any document well

sderilg how little there is in it. 1t is very seldom
that small bit of butter spread over so large
piece of breaI. The resolutions fully endorse the
administration, and commend the treachery of Daniel
Webster, while they silent upon all those great
questions Of national policy which used be the dis
tinctive principles Of the Wing party. The honest
not the party cannot and will not endorse them and
bitter the pill will be, Wing brethren must be
