Too and Thrrr-qiinrtrr Militant In Gobli 1'IKiHAlll.i: DKFKAT OP GEN. .OrV.Z. L'xctlrm'nt la Havana, lie. New York, August 21. Tho Steamship Cherokee, Irom New Origans mid Havana, arrived this evening about 8 o'clock, in four clays from Havana, with two million fix hundred and forty thou wind six hundred and eighty nine dollars on freight, and one hundred nnd sixty-five thousand in the hands of passenger?, of whom there are about 200. Sho brings the California mails and San Francisco dates to the evening of the 1 5th July, being one day luter than tho advices by the Prometheus. The Cherokee passed the Empire City going into Havana. j The accounts from Havana nre of the ; most serious nature. I We are indebted to tho Purser of the J Cherokee for the following fearful narra- j live : I The steamer Habanero, while cruising; off a place culled B.thia Honda, forty miles west of Havana, captured a pa ity of 50 of the patriot?, who were in four boat.', unarm ed, and reports says, were steering for New Oi leans. They were brought to Havana by the steamer llobaneio, on Saturday morning, the Itilli hist., at 1 o'clock A. M., und were placed on board another Spanish fiigato lying in port, and were executed at 15 min utes pjt lithe same morning, by being shot on the public road in Havana, and at the least calculation in the presence of 20,. 000 spectators. After they were shot they were dragged by the feet by negroes, and then left to tho mob, who commenced strip ping ofT their clothes, and carrying them on sticks through tho streets, yelling like so many demons just escaped from tho bottom less pit, and seeking to wreak vengence on they know not what. Many of tho passengers of the Cherokee, who were on the spot and witnessed the ex ecution, were pointed at with a sneer of contempt, and were stopped in the street and insulted, oftentimes in a shameful man ner ; being told that they were Americans, and that they were one and nl! of the same party : that one of these days they would be s.'ived in tho same way. It was dangerous at night, such was the state of feeling, for an American to be seen in t!i street alone. The following is a list of the executed : Col. W. S. Cleudenen, Cap. G. F. S. Sew cr, Capt.

S. sloop of-war Albany, was at Havana. THE CHASE OF THE FALCON. We learn from passengers by tho steamer Falcon, from Gentries to Havana, that on the morning of tho 16ih, when nil" Il.ihia Honda the Falcon discovered a largo steam-fiigate in chaso of her. When first seen, she was standing directly across her bow, evidently intending to cut her olf. The Falcon, how ever, kept on hei course, and soon left the frigate eight or ten miles sislein. This ves sel was !hu Isabello Calholiea, fmmeily the Cuiiard steamship Caledonia. While she was Mill in chase, another steamer hove in sight, and giving chase, succeeded in head ing olf the Falcon. She at first fired two shot, ted guns to leewaid, of which the Falcon took no notiico. She then tan down alongside nnd fired a i.lrd gun directly across her bow, although tho hjd the American colon flying. The chase then tiered the Falcon to heave to, which was dune, when the oliieers on board the SpajiiiU ctmmer gave llnee cfieeis. An ollicur from tita Spaniard then boarded the Falcon and behaved in a very insolent manner, impiiing parliculurly- for Spanish passengeis. He toon left, and the Falcon pioceeded on her course to Havana, where we learned that the Habanero hag the night previous lauded with fifty prisoners, taken in four launches off Bal.ia Honda, and that they were ull shot at 12 o'clock ou that day. Forty of these men were Americans, and were part of the Lopez expedition, which had a few days previous landed near Ha vana, fiom the steamer Pampero. The greatest excitement prevail in Ha vana. 1 All American are beset with spies, -Mid none of (hem foel safe from ono day to ho next. Very little of the various statements can bo relud mi us to lha position of the oveniuients troops and tho revolutionist. Tho Captain General had lent but about 600 men lo inset Gen. Lope, when it wn ascertained that ha had landed. They iiad advineed to a certain position, nnd would advance o further without reinforce ments. Seven hundred more were then sent out. This was about two days before the arri val of the Falcon at Havana. During Satur day, the 16ih, the report wa that Gen. Lo pez had cut off all communication between the Government force and Havana. And the fact of the Captain General having re ceived no despatches from tho general in command, seemed to give strong proof of its truth. Nor had the steamer cruising on the coast any belter success. ANOTHElt ACCOUNT OF THE PUIS ONERS. On the morning of the 16th, at 8 o'clock, the Captain-General despatched a steam fer ry boat to Bahia Honda, to gain intelligence and return the same night. The boat, allei cruising about without obtaining any news, returned to Havana about 7 o'clock tho next morning. Soon after this the steamer Habanero came into post, bringing about forty or fifty wounded soldiers. What these fifty men were doing among the Cayes, where they were taken, is a mystery. Some suppose they wore proceeding to a village on tho coast, near to Havana, nnd that they ran in among the Cayes to hide from .the cruisers. Whether they were armed or not could not be ascertained. A fisherman first saw them ami cave the Government information, when the Habanero was despatched in pursuit. It is said she ran the boats down and then picked up the men ; bm nothing positive can be learned, as no intercourse was allow ed with the prisoners, and the Government discloses nothing but what answers their purpose. The prisoners, nfter being brought into Havana, were led nut ten at a time nnd shot from behind. Not a sign of fear or a mur mur escaped from one of them. The bodies were thrown into hearses six or eight at a time, and taken away and buried. Many of the spectators of the execution possessed themselves of tho hats nnd differ cut portions of tho clothing belonging to the victims, and placing them on sticks, march ed through the principal streets of Havana with a kind of savage joy, and uttering the most bitter curses on the Fillibusteros," accompanied with shouts nnd vivas fur the Captain General. We learn from another gentleman who camo passenger in the Cherokee, that infor uialion had been received at Havana, a few hour before the sailing of the steamer, that Gen. Lopez and his parly had been attacked by a body of Spanish troop-., and, after a hard fought and bloody battle, had been completely looted. Gen. Lopez and a few of his followers es caped to the mountains, an. I it is supposed that the parly executed at Havana got sepa rated from their companion and look to the launches. Fiio.m California. The advices from California, one day later, possess no in terest. nn'ottTAvr tiiun Washington THINGS AT II V A N A . The Government have sent oil' a special messenger to Cuba the Commander of the Home S jiiadrou lo make inanities of the Captain-General of Cuba as In the country j of the men w ha were shot at Havana ou the Mill iust.

Th' A I in i ii ist in linn will not tolerate th ' least dive I lo lie I American n.ig, or tin) least ihseiiurlcsy hy thu Spanish or any other power. Hence these instructions. The instills yen have seii repotted as committed towards those ou board the stea mer Vixen and the tdoop-of-war Albany were disavowed on the instant of complaint by the Ameiican Consul at Havana to the Captain General. They were popular cbnl. litione, resulting from the excitement against the Ameiicaus. The Pampero, it its known here, sailed from New Oilcans fur Cuba without any cleaiar.co papers. Tho collector at that port, I fear, was fearfully culpable in allow ing this departure, as he probably had a right to call upon the Fiiiled States troops to ! prevent it. It know that ho had thisaulhoi- jily when previous expedition were fitted out, and llieio is no probability that the I President rescinded it. Il tho Pampero ; sailed without a legular clearance, a it said j she did, she was lo all interns and purposes i a pirate, and all ou boaid who sillier become ! tho victims of those who directed this bloo- ly expedition. To prevent such expeditions hereafter, the Government of Washington have given ope- cial instructions to thu Home Syndrom They have stationed a revenue culler at Foil Jackson, nuar New Oi leans, with special instructions to allow no vessel lo pass w hich has not been regularly cleared. Everything that due diligence can accomplish lo pre vent such expeditions will bo done, and lo that end fiesh instructions have been trans mitted : but Spain must bo careful to keep with the bound of law, and to show respect which is duo to this Government. We have two vessel already off Cuba, to prevent the abuse of the American flar, and there i no doubt that, so far a the port of Havana is concerned, they will not ullow ils abuse ; but tho island of Cuba covers a vast tract of land, und it would not bo eay for any government or for several squadron to prevent the landing of hoililo steamers. They must take their ohauce, and reap the reward due la their rashness, E. 11. Cor respondent! N. Y Express. Isdiina Exection.
