LATER FROM HAvANA-We have received by the
packet barque Rapid, Captain Ward, which sailed
from Havana on the Goth inst, our regular files ur
20 that date.


The Island was in a state of great tranquity. and
the drought which had desolated the Island for seve.
rs weeks previous, and the evil consequences Of
which were greatly feared by the population, had
ubsided, and copious rains had restored the expec
tations Of the planters.


These papers contain no news of Importance. and
with the exception of the execution OF J. b Marti.
nez alias Martial, one of the wealihiest and mos,
influential men of color OF the Island who had bee n
convicted by court martial for having been one OF
the most active chiefs in the colored nsurrecon oi
Matanzas, nothing worth relating had taken place.


1t seems that the soldiers of several regiments in
garrison in the Island have taken great dislike to
their officers, and several Of them had attempted the
lives OF their superlors Two of them Jose Vasauez,
a chassen OF the regiment OF Naples, was shot on
the 18th, for having killed the corporal of his com
pany, by shooting him with his musket; and another
named Manuel Garcia, private OF the regiment OF
Leon, was executed in the same manner for having
also fired his piece at ms CORPORAL with the intention
of killing him.


On the 18th also, negro called Juan Guaso, who
had been arrested for stealing on board the A meri
can packet f. A. Brown, and had been condemned
10 be logged, received eighty gayrotes on different
points Of the bay, in sight OF the whole shipping
Capt. Westbrook OF the B was much compinented
tor the vigilance he kept on board his vessel. To
which is entirely ascribed the detection and appre-
tension Of the scoundrel


The subscription in favor Of the sufferers by the
great conilagration at Matanzas amounted, at the
latest dates, for the city of Havana, TO S9,iH 6sI,
and three days Previous for the city Of Maanzas TO
S2, lI6 43}.


Among tae passengers in the Rapid we notice the
names OF me Hon. J. G. Pickett, late United States
Gharge uA'ialres a, Lama, M. Ludert, Esq, Rus
