the wariSe resolutions OF the Havana municipality,

signals, aud all possible preparation was made by
the shipping In the harbor. Thus far however, we
have escaped, and as close this letter 1t is hoped
the danger Is past. Doubtless there has been
hurricane throughout some portions Of the West
Indies.
