By the arrival of the steamer Creole, from Ha-
vana, we have received very interesting news
from Mexico, Cuba and. st. Domingo. General
Forey had left the city of Mexico, and was ex.
pected to arrive in Havana by the last steamer
from Vera Cruz. He however, did not arrive,
and the report therefore arose that he had
taken i'll of the yellow fever, and died of that dis
case at Vera Cruz. We however. doubt the
authenticity Of the report, If this had been the
case, such an important fact would have been
promptly reported and not left to the uncertainty
Of mere rumor. The revolution in st. Domingo
is not yet extinguished, but the Spaniards were
vigorously engaged in pushing the Dominicans to
the wall. There were no less than twelve thou

force of native troops, all engaged in putting
down the revolution, which must. Of a cOnse-
gnence, be Il very serious one. The insurgents
had adopted the guerilla mode of warfare alto

town they commit it to the flames. The suffering
of the people is described as intense. The rebels
have established provisional government al
Santiago de los Caballeros, and demand their re.

tarce. The French were on the point of starting
military expedition into the interior. One of the
Mexican towns in the interior had in fact been
already attacked, but the French were repulsed
with loss. General Doblado had retired from the
ministry, and had returned to his own State, where
he continues raising troops for the general de.
fence.
