HAVANA June Q.
Since the 5th inst we have had the war steam
ers Water Witch and Fulton here and in this Vi
cinity ready to convoy and protect merchant
vessels of the United States in the pursuit of their
legal business, from the gun boats Of Her Britannia
Majesty.
Commanders Rodgers and Amv have had inter-
views with several officers of the British vessels Of
war-with the Consul General of England, and very
gentle intimatiOn has been given of the purpose of
the visit in these waters''to stop the visiting and
searching of vessels under the flag of the United
States, by British cruisers. Various excuses have
been made for the past-with promises of better
behavior in future, as usual-sO that we wait to
if the Old Lion will again show his claws.
The war steamers Devastation and Jasper have
been here for short visit to communicate with
the British consulate and have hurried away
to give netu advice to the Mosquito fleet of Eng
land.
The Buzzard and Styx have not shown them
selves to confer with the Fulton and Water Witch,
nor will they do so.
A visit to General Concha, on the part of Com
mander Rodgers and the acting Consul General of
the United States, on the 9TH instant, was very
atisfactory-showing that the authorities here
fully sustain hc doctrine and the action of the United
States.
We have reports of several searches in the last
days of the past month, but they will not presume
more after the notice is given and understood.
Lord Napier's views were received by the Black
Warrior and they will be acted upon IN antelope
ton of instructions from the British Admiral.
IT blood was split off Pensacola, cannot asccr-
tain the name of the offending vesse if ascertaned,
think Almy will assume the responsibility of her
capture unless bound down by positive instructions
that may prevent. If the ''Styx Buzzard" is any
way saucy, they will try their metal; and II too
heavy-'a hoy for boarders' s''-they will sink them
selves or capture the enemy, if such they dare to
show themselves. Peace will not De disturbed
the premontion is ''qmdnt"m sy. .
The health of our city is good, with some sick
ness among the shipping; but there is nothing
malignant.
The summer disease, however, begins to take
effect among the crews of foreign vessels in port
and the marine hospitals filling up with sub
;ects to be neglected and to die.
