NEW York, November l3.--A Havana
letter, under.datc of the Sth, gives the
following particulars of the capture o1
the Virginius: The Virginius, shortly
after the departure of the French
steamer for Santiago de Cuba, left
Jamaica on the 24th ult. 1t was tht

Cuba, but slight damage to the ma

of IIayti. This they left, touching
