"a correspondent of the Havana Diario de la
Marina writing from Cienfuegos, says the exports
Of sugar from that port during the past
year amounted to aome s5 900 boxes and of mo-
lasses to some 10000. The crop prospects
were very promising, but labor was scarce and
high. Very similar reports come from other parts
of the island. 4
The Ravels, orrather perhaps, the Martinetti's,
with Pepita, Christina Ruiz and sr. Garcia, were
performing at the Tacon theater in Havana.
From the Puerto Rico Boeten MercandI Of the
18th inst, the Dario gives the following account Of
late proceedings in Chill:
A Chilian brig -ofwar, carrying % guns, hailed
the Spanish sIocp Bdyadouga, on the 3D. nlt, and,
tance ;~the Gouvadanga hastenedto give i, but as
soon as she got within range the Gillian vessel
discharged abroadside into her caIsing serious
damage and then capturing her.
"A few days afterwards twenty five Chilian gun
boats (eanoneras} and two steamers attacked the
Spanish brig Resolution, on a dark night, hoping
to surprise and board her, as she lay In Pacific
port. But far from succeeding in the attempt,
| for the steamers carried 600 men, they re-
ceved severe lesson which they will not readily
forget; for the Spanish brig discharging deadly
fire on the whole Of the enemys boats DESTROYED
and sunk the twenty five gnr-boatsaad one Of the
steamersin which there were 800 men, who would
ali have been lrowaed il the Resolution had not
hastened to save atl she could, and succeeded in
| recovering some 800, The other steamer was
| severely damaged. The Resolution lost a launch
| with twenty-G men,
| This account is given on the authority of per-
son who had arriy ed in Puerto Rico, from the al
legged theater OF tie occurrence. The reader will
| observe that the Pacific port is not defnitiyely
designated that the 6 twenty-five gnnboats 'ireads
suspiciousy making the best we can Of the word
canoneras, and that nogndtiGe is taken of the re-
port of the death of 4dmisAl Pareja and other
matters of which we have received accounts here.

| the 10th ult.
! From Spain the Diario publishes numerous items

Grave disagreeIaents are reported to have arisen
between General serrano and Senior Canovas !; be
tween Serrano and D. Leopoldo; between Coucha
and O,Donnell; and between the President Of the
4 Council and tie Minister Of Finance. The treasury
Of Cuba was expected to send 80 900 reals to
the aid of that Of the mother country by the end
| of December. The cholera made its appearance
in 4s6 towns in Spain during 1865, but at last ac
counts was dying out everywhere. The brig o.
| war Almansa and the sloop ConAIelo, were to SAT-
for the Pacific about the end of December.

Tetuan and the San Quinten, are promptly to fol-
low the vessels above named to tile Pacific.
