Havana papers to the 23d ult. received by the editor of the Charleston Courier, contain a proclamation of the Governor, announcing the almost entire disappearance of the Cholera, which has committed such dreadful ravages in that place.

He directs the municipal officers to attend to their duties, by restoring as far as is in their power, all property which has been stolen during the confusion which has prevailed, and to take such measures as are best calculated to prevent a recurrence of the disease, by removing all deleterious substances and clearing the streets, &c.

The Commercial tribunals are also directed to resume their functions, which, it would appear, had been partially suspended. Business has resumed its usual activity. Large importations of specie had been received, and money had become plenty.
