EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.
HAvANA. 9th February. 1860.

HAVANA, 9Th February, 1869.
''Since my last, there have been several rows
in this town, which alth0' mourning loss of lives,
have not taken a more serious character, as was
apprehended at first. On the 22nd ultimo a
''tuncion" took place at the Theatre Villanueva,
a second rate place, for the benefit of the Re
bells, and as was natural the affair turned out a
demonstration in favour of the Instruction.
This attracted large numbers Of 'voluntarios',
the only armed force existing at present in Ha-
vana. They went there, it appears, more on
their own accord, than being ordered. Some of
their Companies are composed of a very rough
description of fellows, although there are also
respectable people amongst them. A firing
ensued in and outside the theatre who began
is not accurately known, and the frightened
public rushing out was fired upon by the 'vo-
luntarios', and everybody who cried ANYTHING
else than 'Viva Espana - was attacked. Two
women and a child were wounded, besides sew
eral men.
On the following days the CreoIes, provoked
by this affair, fired on the volunteers from roofs
and windows, as they were passing the streets,
again Of their own accord, as they were all out
in arms, lettering about in small bands.
On the oath a number of "'voluntarios'' being
assembled near the "Lourra," the fashionable
refreshment place, and rendezvous of the Gre
oles, a shot fell from its roof, whereupon the
:'voluntarios' rushed into the house, excited to
fury, and blindly shot and bayonetted about
them, They succeeded in killing 4 and wound
ing 2O5 all Spaniards and foreigners, who were
sitting peacefully at their cold brandy and
water.
The next day General Dulce addressed the
assembled 'voluntarios, telling them that they
behaved like brigands. &c, and prohibiting them
to walk about unless ordered. Since then they
keep in their houses, but with smoothefted rage
against Dulce, who dares to prevent them shoot
ing the creoles, who they would like to kill out
right like so many mad dogs.
The foreign Consuls offered the armed forces
of the men of war stationed in the harbor, if
required, to keep the 'voluntarios' in order.

Washington, Jan, 23.-Mr. Seward has sub

and Gen. Raasloff on the 9TH of January, 1865.

mentin Havana, else it would have broken out
in these days?
in fact the. creoIes seem to like Dulce and he
will have more difficulty with the Spaniards
than with them.
These Spaniards know no moderation, they
want Dulce to go against the c%reoles, with
sword and fire, and as he is trying to settle the
matter peacefully, they grumble against him.
The Rebellion in the interior is dying out
fast in the places from which news is received,
the amnesty expires on the list instant and they
