important News from Havana.
RIVAL OF THE GOV. DUDLEY AT SAVANNAH.

= u -.
The steamship Gov Dudley arrived at Sa-
vaanah on the morning Of the 18th with advlces
from Havana to the 18th, Her news is Of an I'M
usually interesting character, as will be seen
by the following extracts from the Charleston
We agree with that journal in its
opinions respecting the propriety Of allowing
our national honor to be compromised by armed
expeditions against the Island Of Cuba. When
the Creoles themselves rise against their OPP
pressors and strike the first blow. it will BE-
time to afford them aid. The Standard says:
The news from Havana is Indicative of al
approaching storm.
No sooner was the announcement of the re-
turn of Captain General Coucha made public
then the political horizon of Cuba became
clouded, Even before his arrival we find that
the elements of discord are at work, the old
spaniards are of course rejoiced at his return,
but the Cubans, the patriots, remember the
awful doom that befel young Crittenden and
his equally brave but misguided companions
That sanguinary outrage upon humanity by
Concha can never be eradicated from the minds
Of the patriots Concha, according to our COR
respondent, will have other obstacles than the
Creoles to contend with--he will find a portion
of the soldiery arrayed against him. 1t APP
pears that the troops recently sent out consisted
of those who first raised the recent standard OF
revolt in Spain. They are said to be dissent
mating their revolutionary ideas among their
companions generally, and the consequence is
that we need not be surprised at any moment
to hear of the overthrow of the government OF
the Island--not by the Creoles, but by the very
men who have been sent out to subdue their re-
bellious feelings and keep them in order, We
agree with our correspondent In the belief that
three thousand men from the United States
could now establish the independence of Cuba,
but We doubt the policy Of any such move; be
sides our national honor is pledged to 8" crush
out. flibusterism When the Cubans them
selves strike the first blow for their indepen-
dence. there can be no doubt that they will re
ceiye efficient and wholesome aid from all quar-
terra. Till then it is hoped that Americans will
remain quiet.
With the exception of the accounts respecting
the excitement alluded toin the preceding para
graph, there is very little local news from Hav-
ana Welearn that two American seamen had
been imprisoned on a charge of having been en-
gagged in the slave trade; but as MI. Barton.
our newly appointed Consul, had arrived. no
thing definite appears to have been known re-
speeding their case. Owing apparently to al fear
on the part of the authorities that revolutionary
symptoms might be manifested, the bull-fght
advertised for last Sunday week did not take
place.
The Havana market continued dull; though
very little was doing in sugar, prices retained
their former frmness. The demand for rice was
brisk, and higher prices were looked for. A sale
Of cargo Of -four had been made at $s14, but
FIVE cargoes that had recently arrived were IN
sold. There was scarcely any demand for
freights, especially for England There was
more demand for vessels for this country, which
could not be had.
Our Key West correspondent states that the
ship Indiana, from New York for New Orleans,
put in there on the 10Th ult to land four of her
crew who had mutinied. Having supplied their
places, she sailed again on the same day. The
ship Serampore, from New Orleans for Havre,
put in on the LIST inst in consequence of the pre-
valence of the yellow fever among her crew.
Four of her men had died.
We extract the following from letter to the
same paper from their correspondent at Havana
.Many of the soldiers of the regiment De
Cordoya, which was the first to raise the reyo-
lutionary standard in Spain, have been drafted
into several of the regiments serving in this
Island, among whom l understand they have
spread the revolutionary principles, and rumor
has it that the soldiery at Mantanzas, Carde-
mas, Trinidad de Cuba, as we'll as those sta
toned at the fort nearly opposite the city,
called the Habanas, have manifested such strong
symptoms of characterization, as to cause much
alarm among the Spanish officials. The present,
therefore, is peculiarly favorable moment for
our filibuster friends to pay US visit. Let but
three thousand men, headed by General of
reputation and properly Differed, effect a land
ing in this Island, and / know the young Gre
oles to man will join them, and Cuba will be
easily conquered
'sThere is vast deal of excitement prevail.
ing here at this moment among all classes Of
society. The Creoles, although almost despair
ing of aid from the United States, would never
theless gladly give assistance to any party Of
troops that should land here from the United
States and take arms to secure their country's
freedom. The Spaniards, also, for the first
time during my residence in Cuba, are discon.

speak of proclaiming the Constitution They
are in state of great excitement" Y.
