INTRRKsTING FROM HAVANA.
In addition to the important intelligence
We Published yesterday, by the Crescent
City. touching renewsloi political excite.
tnent in Havana, we have the. following
from . correspondent Of the New York
Tfibune:
In my last | informed you that some
arrests had been made Of persons sup.
posed to be concerned n the printing and
circulation Of the paper which is secretly
published here. since then many more
have BEEN made, and among the number,
il is said, one ofihe writer's ofthe " Diario
de IL Marina" named Brinas.
Beside the srre.t Of persons supposed
10 be concerned in the paper affair, some
twenty persons have been thrown into
prison for having large quantities Of pow.
der and lead in their possession. One
man had no less than 800 lbs. Of powder
in his house when taken, besides large
quantity Of cartridges already made up,
and some demijnhns of powder. lis also
said that depots of sailed provisions have
been discovered in the country.
assure you that these latter arrests
somewhat surprised me. Tor had no idea
that things were taking so serious u turn;
however. expect that there will be no
immediate outbreak. as this merely con.
slider to be the shadow of coming events.
Those Spaniards--who are men OF inielll.
gence-who have long resided in the
country, and who treat Familiarity with the
Cuban, without being trai'ors to their coun.
try. are Of opinion that Cuba cannot be
saved to Spain. Or course that country
will not give it up without some remunera.
iion while she can maintain from 20 900 to
10000 soiJiers on the island free of cost.
Whatever may be the destiny of Cuba.
during the present state of things il is an
unpleasant place Tor sensitive foreigner
to reside; for if you are seen with a Span.
lard you are looked upon as friend to
despois. asd on the other hand. il YOU
associate at all with Creoles you are set
down .as fllibuster and Q suspicious
fellow.
In the midst of this excitement little AZ.
tention has been paid to several assa assina.
tons in our public thoroushfares. and the
police, which is very pretty 10 look at, is
not fl tor its business.
