HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE.
Special to the New Orleans cFeseeut.1


HAVANA, Aug. &c, 1860.
Mr.. Editor-Reports from Mexico appear rather
warlike, if we may Judge by the news published
by the Didrio de la Marina. The Spanish Ad
miral en- the station at Vera Cruz has peremp-
torily demanded the immediate delivery of the
Spanish bark Maria Conception, Illegally seized
by Juarez's government, and it is expected here
that should this demand not be Immediately CON-
piled with, an attack would be made on the city
by the Spanish forces The British mail steamer
of the 9TH will bring full particulars of how the
affair has ended. No doubt in pahque as the An
dalusians say, al talk.
The steamer Pajero del 0ceano GormerlY
Ocean pira, now seefliar packet between TINS
port, st. Domingo, Porto Rico and St. Thomas)
left on the 22d instant, and ] am assured besides
other suspicious articles, she carried d few oan
mons to be landed at st. Domingo The talk
here is that if there is peace, with Juarez there
will be Spanish. intervention, or perhaps occupa-
ton, in St. Domingo.
The Bishop Of Havana has addressed pastoral
letter to his flock inviting them to subscribe, not
TO loan but to gift to be handed to his Holiness
the Pope, to aid him in repeling the attacks Of his
enemies.
The Life Insurance Company and Savings Bank
entitled the Ttteldr established in Madrid, opened
an agency here some five years ago. 1t appears,
however, that the accounts of said agent, Senior
Abrugeray, were not very clear, as the company
in Madrid sent couple of persons out her to see
into his accounts and to take the management OF
the concern out of his hands. These two persons,
about four months ago. sent their report, and, as
it appears, made an agreement with Senor Abru
earay to receive in payment $1,000 monthly but
according to the orders they received from the D
rectors, Seniors Ghagon Brothers, bankers, they
refused to receive any longer said sum in the man
ner agreed and have published a manifest to the
| Havana public, in which they say they are the
only authorized agents. and that the amounts paid
to Messrs. Abrugaray from such date are not
| valid-say upwards OF seven thousand policies of
| insurance, believed to amount in all to upwards
of $500 900. The Didaio de Ia Marina, in an ex-
cellent article this gigantic robbery, very justly
calls the attention of the Government to the affairs
of this company and also to all the other compa-
| nies having agencies here.
| Speaking of robberies, the house of don Manuel
| Solar, a wealthy merchant of this city, who was
| passing the summer months with his family at
| Gnanabacoa, was broken into on Monday night,
| and considerable quantity of plate, jewelry,
| dresses, ETC., carried off by the robbers. As no
one was left in the house to take care of his pro-
perty during his absence, the industrals were quite
at their ease, and from appearances they partook
of splendid supper at don Manuel's expense, be-
| fore leaving the house loaded with booty.
A grand bull fight Is to take place to-day; and as
the bulls are the iercest which could be procured
| in Mexico, the amateurs will, no doubt, have rare
enjoyment; that is to say, if the weather continues
good.
