Captain General Cahedo and his suite on board.
On the 10th, early in the morning, he conducted
ashore, and passing through long line Of troops,
took possession Of the government palace. In the
evening of the same day, Gen. Concha, with his
suite and family, sailed for Spain in the steamer
Isabel the Catholic. An immense concourse of the
people lined tho wharves to the mouth Of the har-

with handsome testimonial Of the estimation in
which the Habaneros hold his character. 1t is
ported, upon good authority, that Gen. Concha
expended far than the emoluments of his office
while on the island. and he certainly declined
ceivipg many requisites which his predecessors
have taken. His benevolence and kindness of
heart were no less marked traits of his character,
than were his energy, frmness and practical good
sense.
