NEW YORK, Dec q, 1852
Only among those with whom s'Lhe wish fs father
to the thought" any credit given this document
encouragement to the OuDans IL Is not thought the
Jnnta would under any circumstances, issue such
address, betrayng as II does only the most super
fetal knowledge Of what 1t speaks. The onicial ca
aete has up to thus day made no mention OF It, and
the Captain General Is understood as placing no
lidence In it, as the first Of the dissolution OF
the Junra would, OF course, come from New York.
Evidently tne government has permitted the papers
what it was worth. but has not chosen to commit
ltself to the public Again. the date the 21ss OF De-
In the course OF ten days 1t would be impossible
for is to reach the seas Of insurrection from
even il the way was entirely open. AS to the
other statements. and rumors they have proved
the ms:ss csussas ;, N 3 e wSr6 the an
arrival Of the steamer Pelayo from Nuevitas and
Gbara brings no word OF that o1cer whatever, con-
finds 1t necessary 70 defend itself from the charges
,of being sensational and untrUtnful, and half inti.
mates thay II has been deceived.
Amid all the excitement caused BY tla various
Statements and rumors thus described ana at about
New York, under command Of Ensign ManuelGuz-
man. she proceeded to the Muelle de Ia Machina,
Sesn hsre awng ssss for
some time This gunboat became separated from

usual religious ceremony Of blessing and christening
her she wlll proceed TO her duties along the coast.
In speaking Of the pecuRr1tieS and dltnculties Of
campaigning in this island, upon which tho insnr.
gents have principally based their hopes Of success
Espiritu and trinidad are the most mountainous
Jurisdictions Of the island There are IN them the
ssn Of the o
WHO and many others, which diversity the land and
furnish natural daences 10 tho rebels; but there s
not within them both an area OF land equal TO that
OF Puerto Principe, which has COS square leagues,
while the others have combined but 81. Puerto
Principe is however, but little mountainous, but
has immense forests and IS trayersed by very con-
siderable rivers. 1t is sufficiently accessible to
troops but the immense distances required to pass
render horses necessary and the providing OF sup.
plies difficult. In the two localities thus specified
the insurgents have been in largest numbers and
the most active and the operations against them
have met with but little success.
By the arrival Of steamers yesterday at this port
ana at Bataban0, we have later dates from both
sides OF the lsand. Journals from Puerto Principe

Of the opening campaign In s,a C,amaeuey M winch ap.
Ferrer remains III command In Principe during the

Of the island had arrived there to take personal cog
nzauce OF what was required for the successful
prosecution OF the campaign. The sanitary condr.
ton OF the place had somewhat improved. Letters
from Nrevits, dated tho st state that nothing par
tcular has occurred there since the departure OF
Pueblo to the field. Fovers when mad been OF mild
character were assuming malignant type. In

Gibara under date OF the 3lst which says there
reasons for believing that OF rebels OF tnat
jurisdiction, fearing the campaign wnich Is gong
on have endeavOred 10 save themselves by taking
small boats to Nassau, Ragged Island aud other keys
