LATIR FROM HAVANA.
The letters Of our correspondents, containirg
thaee days later news from Havana, will hc found
In another part OF to days paper. The British
steamer Solent had arrived with dates from Mexico
city to the Sd OF July. Ia the correspondence Of
the DiaYio de Ia Mcrina it is positively asserted
thar General Alvarez had died near Acapulco, but
we need hardly say that until this Is confirmed it
must be regst6cd with distrust, especially when
the ehanrel through which Il comes is taken into
consideration. Our own advices from Acapulco are
OF later date than III re received at Havana and
we have eson to believe that the gallant chicftain
wiz be ouEd ere long within the capital ITSELF II,
unfortunately he has fallen prey 70 disease, there
are others to take his place.
