The American mail steamship Crescent City,
Henry K. Davenport, U S. Navy, commander, from
New Orleans, via Havsns, arrived at Quarantine
about three o'clock yesterday morning
She left Havana the evening Of the 10th inst,
and has experienced succession Of heavy nsrthsry
gAles.
As previously reported the @. c. arrived OF Moro
Castle on tho evening of the l5,h but had to remain
outside till next morning.
The Spanish steam frigste Isabel Segundo, which
was cruising of Havana, spoke the c. c., and after
learning her name and destination passed on.
Upon entering tho harbor. to which no objection
was made, the Port Captain came alongside and
informed Capt Davenport that the mails and all the
passengers could land, but that Purser Smith must
remain on board.
Upon Capt. Davenport expressing himself pleased
1t the termination Of the difficulties heretofore ex-
istipg the Captain Of the Port assured him that it
was only for this trip and should Mr.. Smith return
IN the ship from New York, no communication with
the shore would be allowed. Captain d. expressed
his regret At this, and remarked that the difficulty
was becoming more complicated by this measure
and that, although the right to exclude any ina-
yidual from the island whom the authorities might
consider prsjudicial to its tranquility no. de-
MED, he could not concsde the same to the Captain
General to prohibit the mails and al passengers,
imply because one person on board was obnoxious
to his Exeellensy.
To this reply was made. Capt Davenport was
told when he left Havana for New Orleans, on the
outward trip that the ship would not be permitted
to enter the port her return if Mr. Smith came In
her, bat it seems the Captain General was induced
to change his mind few days previous to her arr
val, in consideration that hsr voyage would not be
completed until her return to New York, and that
charge could take place in the officers before TIA.
