westward from Havana, is confirmed.
Lopez and his men had had two engage
ments with the island troops, and defeated
them in both instances. One entire regi-
mcnt af the Spanish troops had deserted and
gone over to the side of Lopez. In Havana
the greatest CONSERVATION reigned among

After the above was in type we received

mountains by taking possession of all the

the news was received in Havana some 800
troops were sent to the scene of action. The
Spanish Commander sent to Lopez to know
what concessions he wanted-and his reply
was-"That it was too late to talk of con-
cessiOns now. They did not want conces-
sions They came to fight for the Liberty
Of Ca6a."

troops had been defeated in two skirmishes

There was only one French man-of-war
in Havana on the 10Th and no English ma

The U. s. ship Albany, Commander Platt,
was at Havana when the Vixen left and
would probably remain until she returned.
The Albany was bound to Boston, to touch

there she sailed for Boston. After her de-
parture, our Consul deeming her presence
necessary, despatched the Vixen after her,
