New YORK, Oct. 5.
We learn by the Empire City, arrived last
evening from Havana, that her passengers
were allowed to go ashore freely and without
molestation.
Excitement at Havana was still very great
and was increased by every fresh effort of the
local government to put down the dssatisfac-
ton which is said everywhere 10 prevail.
| The most high-handed outrages had been
committed upon the American vessels, one of
them, the barque Cornelia Ward, which OH
leaving for New York was ordered to anchor
and was detained for on day. Two of her
passengers were also siezed and imprisoned.
The letter-bags of the vessels were then ia
ken and rifed of their contents.
The barque Elizabeth Jay, Capt. Brooks,
from Philadelphia, was subjected to the same
stri gent aud unusual searching.
Extra officers placed on board and her
statcrooms locked up by the police.
The barque Childe Harold which arrived
on the 2lst, was likewise very critically
searched
All loose papers were seized, and the yes
sci finally given in charge to the police OF
Havana.
These outrages have been committed for
no satisfactory cause whatever. but SOLE y to
crafty the prying ambition OF the govern
ment.
The Government was daily losing many
supporters.
The British man-of-war Rozamond which
left Havana on the 2Sth uit.. refused to hoist
her colors-the Captain being utterly dis
gusted with the conduct of the authorities.
