New YORK, November 2J.-A letter from
Havana dated November 10Th SAYS:
"There is much talk of war with the
United States. The Captain.Gencral and his
military chiefs have had several meetings,
but the result of their deliberations is moi
known. One thing is certain, however, that
preparations for defence are bein. actively
made. Guns are being mounted on
all the forts around the city. Who
they will ret to nan them is another
matter, as they have no artillerymep. Pow
der is also being supplied, and general
hustle is noticed around the arSenals. The
people talk warIike. and express their deter.
mination to make no concessions. They say
they will fight TO the Inst before they will
give up the Firginius or any of the persons
who took part in the execution Of her crew.
The Conservative journals publish articles
to excite the people. and The Republican
papers join in for fear they will not b. con-
sidered patriotic.

captured blockade-ruDncr is incorrect. She
was built in England for the ChIian Gov
