Jovellsr Tenders his Desigmatsss,
HAVANA, Dec. 4.-Captain General
Jovellar telegraphed to the Madrid
Government tonight to the following
effect:
The Madrid Government peremptori-
ly orders the Captain General TO deliver
up the Tryinius. General Jovellar
respectfully resigns his position and
demands that another person be sent to
take his place, who can carry out the
orders of the Government. Consider
ing the excited state of public opinion
and the impossibility OF overcoming
difficulties, General Jovellar submits
that his manifesto was prepared asking
for delay, during which an opportu-
nifty might be given for reflection, and
time be gained to allay the fierce pat
riotic spirit of the great national party
in Cuba. But the order from Madrid,
Immediately to be executed, deprives
him of resources which he hoped to
have in unfolding the authority and in-
terest of the country. In order that
the Madrid Government may compre-
bend the difficulties of the situation ard
do justice to the ardcr and perseverance,
with which he began his labors, which
had already begun to produce fruit, the
Captain General describes the situation
on the Island and declares that the
impression produced by the news Of the
arrangement which has been made be-
tween Spain and the United States, can
be compared with that produced in
Spain by the treaty at Bayone, which
led to the war of independence against
Napoleon. He begs to assure the Gov
eminent that the immediate execution
of the order will cause frightful COM.
motion throughout the Island, which,
would he sure to result in catastrophe.
The spaniards are unwilling to surren-
der the Trginius directly to thu United.
States, but will surrender her to some,
neutral authority.
