LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM HAVANA.
CHARLESTON, May 13. The steamer Isabel, Cap
tain Rollins, arrived yesterday, with dates from Hs-
to the Sth inst.
The barquc Byron, from New Orleans to Baltimore
went ashore on the Pickle reef the 1St inSt and
arrived at Key West next day in charge of wreck
ers, but did not leak and was but little injured
Advices by the Isabel state that the Spanish Gov
General, in all that he has done in regard to the
Black Warrior. This is entirely different from ad
vices received heretofore. 1t is stated that when the
news received in Havana from the United States
that the Black Warrior affair had been settled there
was much excitement. The Marquis dc la Pczuela
is reported to have ragged and storned at the
mp.icd by the settlement Of the affair upon his
duct, and vowed he woull resign his command,
however, as second thoughts best he still retains
his Office.
The Captain General has published decree, ma
king it lawful to search for negroes on estates with
q preamble, in which he denies that there is any
compact between Spain and Great Britain by which
the former is bound to enancipate the slaves, also
several severe remarks about the introduction of
grocs; hut the whole thing is regarded in very
favorable light. 1t is known that the Captain Gen
cral has especial authority TO eancipatc the slaves
whenever he may deem it proper, and that in the
event of their being any demonstration made the
part Of the United States the very first act of the
present government would be to declare the saves
free.
His remarks about the introduction of negroes
may also be looked upon all for effect 1t is stated
from good authority, that TO less than seven thou
sand Africans have recently been landed upon the
shores of Cuba! Upon each Of which the Marquis
de la Pczuela is reported to have received the
NOUS per ccntsge of from So to 102 dollars.
The Jcsuits have again gained footing on the
Island. They are about establishing college. The
different book stores have been visited by them, with
authority from the Governor, to examine the books
that they may prohibit the sale of those which they
may consider hurtful to their sway. From book
stores they will in all probability rass to private Ii
brarics.
The Archbishop of the Island is marrying whites
to blacks so that it will not be surprising If the whites
arc soon brought down to level with the black pop
uation. There is no ezaggeration in the statement,
it is literally true.
An order appeared in the Gaccta OF the 7th inst,
which forbids, shoe-makers cigar makers, and
others whose occupations require the use ofknirc-,
&C., which may be turned into dangerousweapons,
from wearing them OH their persons, &c.
