New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1866-01-15
Latest from Havana,

We have before us the Havana Diario de la Ma.
rina, of the 9th inst.
Among its official announcements we find notif-
cations of the departure of several vessels of
Chinese emigrants for the Siempre tiel ,,sla. The
total is between twelve and fifteen hundred.
The English steamer Mexico arrived at Havana
on the 9Th, the schooner Talisman on the 9Th, from
this port. On the 7th, the English bark Ch. Daven-
port and brigantine Sir Robert Peel left Havana
for New Orleans The steamer Creole had cleared
for this port.
The Diario has nearly six of its ponderous COL
umns filled with new regulations for the adminis-
tration of justice of Spanish colonies. At the late
hour at which the subject is brought before us we
deem it unnecessary to say more than that the de-
sign Of the regulations appears to be that they
lead to the assimilation Of the forms and admins
tration Of justice in the colonies to those of the
mother country.

will be recoected, commenced active hostlities
