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.

Fa'.iun has been served in the Hiina man

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.

California, one day later, possess no in

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. Il Americans, the messenger is
instructed to obtain information as to the 1
ii:cnmstai:ee.s attending their execution, I

going iulii Havana. 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
