New ORLEANS, Nov. 6.
As the Crescent City approached Havana,
she was met by Pilot who refused to take her
in because Smith was on board. Capt. Daven-
port paid no attention to this and taking the
responsibility proceeded to his usual anchorage.
The Captain of the port shortly visited the
steamer no communication allowed with the
shore, because Smith was on board said the
Captain General would allow mail and regular
passengers to land, but no others.
Capt. d. then exhibited letters from the
American Consul just received, in which assur-
ancc was given that late difficulties had been
fully settled in an interview between the Cap
tain General and Judge Conklng. The Captain
of the Port replied that the difficulty had not
been settled, but that the mail and regular pas
sengers would be allowed to land on this occa-
sion. He stated that if Purser Smith continued
on board when the steamer returned, she would
on no condition be permitted to communicate
with the shore. He also stated that a special
minister at Washington had written to the Cap.
tain General, informing him on authority of the
Secretary of State, that Purser Smith would be
prohibited from going into Havana. Captain
Davenport answered that Mr.. Smith was pri-
vate citizen of the United States, and could &c
where and when he pleased, without hindrancc
or interference on the part of the General Gov.
eminent. The Captain of the port then had q
second consultation with the Captain General
previous to which he gave the officers on board
permission to land their passengers. Captain
Davenport refused to let them land until salts
fled that the American Consul had been fully
appraised of the condition of affairs.
| The Captain of the Port returned with arl-
thority from the Captain General, for all the
passengers and officers to land, excepting Mr.
Smith, who was prohibited from landing under
any circumstances. He also informed the Cap
tain that should Purser Smith return again on
the Crescent City, she would be ordered Off
Captain Davenport then wrote to the American
Consul that passengers might do as they pleas
ed but as Captain Porter had been ordered not
to land on the Island, he himself would not ac-
cept privilege denied to Purser Smith. Judge
Sharkey, the Consul, on receiving the letter
went on board and held long consultation
with Captain d. Morales, of the firm of Drake
4 Morales, consignccs of the Crescent City
made his appearance, and stated on authority
that if Mr. Smith would address letter to the
Captain General denying the charges preferred
against him, proceedings without difficulty
could be adjusted. Captain D. replied, that he
would, under no circumstances, suffer any Off
Ger under his command to make any commu-
nication on the subject to the Cuban authori-
ties inasmuch as Captain Porter, on two differ
ent occasions, had directly disavowed the i'm.
putation. The Crescent City thereupon run
up our national flag, and started away for New
Orleans.
