ArriUdt Of the Steamer Crescent City.-Later
from Harana. Safety Of the L. s. Sioop.oE
Uar albany.
New York, Dec. il.-'The steamer Crescent
City arrived here this morning with later mtelli-
gence from Havana.
She brings the very gratifying news of the
safety of the l. :. sloop ofwar Albany, about
whose safety there were serious apprehcnsions
from the general belief that she had been lost
with probably all those on board.
The captain of AN English brig named Is
piegle, at Havana, received letter whilst at .Ia-
maica, from the British Consul at CartHagenu.
announcing that the United States sloop of war
Albany was at Carthagena on the 10th October,
and that all on board were well. This account
leaves, therefore, no doubt of the safety of that
vessel. The intelligence will be hailed with de
light
There is no news from Cuba or Havana beyond
the above of moment. Business was quiet
Freights dull. Affairs on the island quiet.

Napoleon's Letter to his Army
From the Monitcur.

PALACE OF ST.. CLOUD. Nov. 81.
"Io tie General in Chief Of the Army in the
East:
GENERAL: Your report respecting the victory
of Inkerman, has excited deep emotion in my
mind. Express, in my name, to the army, my
entire satisfaction with the courage it has dis
played with its energy in supporting fatiguca
and priyations, and its warm cordially toward
our allies. Thank the generals, the officers, and
the soldiers for their valiant conduct. Tell them
that | warmly sympathze with their msfortunc>,
and with the cruel losses they have experienced,
and that my constant socitude shall be directed
TO the task of soitening the bitterness of them.
After the brilliant victory Of the Alma, ! had
hoped for moment that the routed army of the
enemy would not so easily have repaired its loss
es, and that ScbastopOl would soon have fallen
under our attack; but the obstinate defence of
that town, and the endorsements received by
the Russian army, have, for the moment, arrest
ed the course of our success. approve Of the
resistance you made 10 the impaticnca of the
troops, who wished to make the assault, under
circumstances which would have tntailcd too CON
siderable loss
The English and French Governments direct
their serious attention to the army in the East
Already steamers are traversing the with
considerable reinforcements. This increase of
assistance i'll double your forces and enable YOU
to assume the offensive. \ powerful diversion
is about to take place i'll Bessarabia, and | re-
ceivo the assurance that from day 10 day, in for
eign countries, public opinion becomes more and
more favorable TO us. If Europe should have
seen, without alarm, eagles, SO long banishcd,
displayed with SO much eciat it is because Eu-
rope knows that we are only fighting for its indie
pendence. If France has resumed the position
to which she is entitled, and if victory has again
attended upon our banners, it isl declare ii
with prde-to the patriotism and indomitabe
bravery eff the army that owe ii.
Il send General de Montebcllo, one of my
nidcs-de camp to convey to the army the rewards
which it has SO well merited.
''In the meantime, General, pray God to have
you in his holy keeping. NAPOLEON"

RN DIR. DRAkE


When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land
Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rears't aloft thy regal form.
To hear the tempest trumpings loud
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven;
Child of the SUM- to thee It's given
TO guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbinger of victory
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
Anu unc long llne CUllcS SlcdHlllp Oll,
Ere yet the life-blood warm and wet
Has dimm'd the glistening bayonct,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky-born glories burn;
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance,
And when the cannon mouthing loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud,
And CORY sabrcs rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnights pail;
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath,
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger OF death.
Flag of the seas! on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave
When death carcering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bcllied sail,
And frightcd waves rush wildly back,
Before the broadsides reelng rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splcndors fly
In triumph o'er his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home!
By angel hands to volor given;
Thy stars have lit the welklin dome,
And all thy hues were horn in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER us !
