HAVANA, Tuesday, April 8, 1867.
The first report that Geffrard had been
driven from Hayti, although it was after
warG contradicted, appears TO have been
correct. He abdicated on the 18th ult., and
left Port au Prince for Jamaica, where, 1T
is said, he will take passage in steamer for
Europe. His temporary successor, Nissage
Sayet, is looked upon as brave and ener-
getic man, and it Is expected that every
thing will soon, be back in its former state.
The revolution is attributed to Geifrard' 8
bad administration, he and his ministers
being too much occupied in filling their
own pockets to pay much attention to the
wants of the country. Complaints are made
OF the more than negligence OF those in
authority at Jaekmel, where large guam
tity of forged notes were in circulation
which it was impossible to distinguish from
the good ones, and in the putting OF which
into circulation the authorities at Jackmel
are reported to have been concerned. A
large quantity of these forged notes were
expected in vessel, but the parties impli-
Gated in this proposed fraud had been ar
rested, and the bogus money will be seized as
soon as it arrives. So quiet was the circu-
lation of these forged notes, and so well
known their character, that the country
people had given them a nickname. The
wonder is that they should have been in
circulation at all when their fictitious char
acter was SO well known.
The Spanish Pacific squadron. much to
the surprise of every one, arrived last week
at Santiago de Cuba, the cause assigned
being, it is said, a report that had reached
the ears of the Admiral that the Peruvian
Gillian fleet had set sail for the Atlantic, a
report which turns out to be false, the last
named fleet not having left the waters of
the Pacific. The Spanish squadron, above
mentioned. consists of the steamers AL
mansa, bearing the flag of the Admiral
Mentlez Nanez, the Navas de Tolosa, and
the Conception, all of them having engines
of 900 horse power. The .Almansa carries
30 cannon, and has crew of 635 men; the
commander is Don Victoriano Sanchez
The Navas de Tolosa carries the same num-
Der of guns, and has crew of 627 men !;
commander, Don Jose Ignacio Rodriguez
Arias. The Conception carries 80 can
non; crew, 423; commander, Don Josquin

AS mentioned in my last. we have little
or no news from Vera Cruz, all we know
for certain being that the Solent brought
back her cargo and had on board several
Mexicans, who had been expelled from
that city for their liberal opinions. The
papers here are as diverse in their accounts
as they are in their politics, one insisting
that MaXimilian has been victorious aud
that his generals are pursuing the fleeing
Republicans, another maintaining that
MaXimilian was besieged in Queretaro and
must infallibly surrender from the want OF
the necessaries of life. Another that the
Imperialists had gained great battle at
Guanajuato. Portrio DiaZ is also said to
have withdrawn from the siege of Puebla
and to have retreated to his former head
quarters at Osjaca. The only wonder is
how the editors have been able to get these
various informations, for it is generally ac-
knowledged that Vera Cruz is so closely
besieged that nothing can leave or come in
from the land side.
