Brig Holkar.—It will be recollected, that about a month since we received, by way of St. Domingo and Charleston, a vague account of this vessel having foundered on the voyage from Curacoa to this port, in which it was stated, that the captain, mate and some of the men took to the long boat, and it was feared had perished, &c. But the following extract of a letter from an officer of the sloop Flag of Truce, of this port, to his friend here, dated at Havana, 10th March, explains in part the mystery, and leaves little doubt that the Holkar was taken, and the officers and passengers murdered, by her own crew!

"We sail this day for New Orleans. We have on board, a prisoner, one of the crew of the brig Holkar, of New York, who has been taken here by some who knew him. The fellow acknowledges the whole, and it is shocking to hear how they murdered the passenger who lay asleep in his berth. After murdering the captain and crew on deck, they entered the cabin and thrust a harpoon three times into the passenger before it held sufficient to draw him out, when they threw him overboard. The prisoner is a mulatto; he thinks he shall get clear by turning States' evidence. Another of the Holkar's crew, who was here, has gone to Charleston."
