HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE.

HAVANA, July 81, 1859.
Messrs. Editors-As there will not be steamship
for your port direct prior to the 9th proximo,
vail myself this morning of the polteness of my old
.end, Capt Butler Of the clipper brig Margaret Ann
tevens who kindly promises to deliver this letter at
our office Immediately bis arrival at New Orleans
There have appeared in the Prensa newspaper OF g
bis city, within the last month six weeks, series
t sketches headed i" Los Estados Unilos en- 1867
,he United States in 1s5s--which understand were
written by Don Lazaro Fesser, lawyer OF this city,
vho is also enc Of the editors of the Prensa. /
You will perfectly understand how thorough t
knowledge Senior Fesser could have acquired Of the
United States, and the habits and customs Of their
people, when inform you that the length Of his
7isit did not exceed period Of more than month
six weeks at the utmost that he possesses an ex-
remey limited knowledge Of our vernacular is evil
fenced by the fact that seeing the word notice
placarded 10 bar.room at Charleston he has trans
lated it into the Spanish word "noticis," which sign
fes "news" instead Of, he should have done, rend
cred the word into "aviso" which means "notice."
should be sorry to suppose that Senor Fesser has
purposely misrepresented anything he either saw or
heard, yet as he has committed very many greyious
both of fact and fancy it is but charity to sup
pose that his Ignorance of English and not malice
has led him to commit such gross Mistakes
trust Gen. Paez will, before this reaches your
hands, have arrived safely at Philadelphia, for which
city, according to the Diario de la Marina, OF q |
recent date, he sailed in the bark Rowena, from La
guira on 7th inst, accompanied by Don Simon Ca
muncho and Don D. j. p Rozas. The Diario de
la Marina also states that Gen. Paez had left the
country convinced that after all his efforts it was not
possible to unite the two parties-that Gen. Paez
was badly advised when he returned to Venezuela,
and that he has left the country with broken heart
confirmed in the belief that the supreme power will
shortly be again vested in Monagas. Gen. Castro,
man without any energy, but full Of ambition, was
on the fence" awaiting future events. The people
had lost all the little respect they proessed to haze for
him. private letter received by the Diario de la
Marina states upon good authority that delegates
had been sent to Gen. Fulcon "a satellite of Mona
gas) to offer him Fulcon) the Government, but that
he, perceiving the distracted state of matters pre-
erred to remain at Curacoa at the Island Of Trim
dad to await the result of the revolution with which
Venezuela was threatened
In correspondence to the Industrial Monitor the
Diario de la Marina assertrs that Gen. Paez had
stated that Gen. Castro had sent commissioners to
various places where the chief reyolutonists we're
known to be, with the view of bringing them to order,
| object at Guatire.

faction composed of the most degraded classes, had

which shots were supposed to have been aimed OF
the Governor, who, however, did not receive any
injury, but ball passed through the umbrella he
carried By letters of sth' instant received at St
