FROM HAVANA.

By the schooner Eliza and Polly, capt: Forsythe, in 4 days from Havana, we have received our files of papers to the 23d inst. Upon carefully looking over them, we find nothing of political importance.- No additional news from Mexico.

By an order of his Excellency Governor Mahy, dated the 8th inst, no foreigner will be admitted into any port of the Island of Cuba without a passport duly certified or endorsed by the respective Consuls, Vice Consuls or Spanish Agents residing at the several ports of their departure; and that no ignorance may be hereafter alledged, this order has been published in the Daily Government and Commercial papers.

In the "Noticioso" of the 14th we find inserted the following declaration of his Excellency the Superior Political Chief (Gov. Gen. Mahy.) We insert it below, in order to give publicity as much as possible to this official contradiction of the rumors which have been spread concerning the political condition of Cuba, and of the city of Havana particularly. This document refers to a letter which doubtless our readers have seen.

"By Don Nicholas Mahy, Lieutenant General of the National Armies, &c. &c. &c. Captain General of the Island of Cuba, Superior Political Chief of the Province of the Havana, &c. &c. &c. &c.

Whereas. having understood that in one of the public papers of the United States there has been inserted a certain letter, supposed to have been written in this capital, stating that the whole Island of Cuba was in an actual state of anarchy. and therefore, that all property in this territory ought to be conveyed to other countries:--And whereas, desirous as I am to expose and refute a falsehood so discreditable and injurious to the inhabitants. I should fail in the duty attached to the superior commander of the same, were I not to make it known as I now do by means of this MANIFESTO, that the city of Havana, and every province without exception in the Island of Cuba, are at present in a state of the greatest tranquility, respecting and obeying the constitutional authorities, and faithfully observing the constitutional laws of the Spanish Monarchy, as the most beneficial and protecting to the civil and political rights of the citizens. The city of Havana and the whole Island are strictly preserved united to the Spanish Monarchy by the most sacred ties, and will continue so long as they are convinced that no other government is better calculated for them, as regards their geographical situation, productions of the soil, population, and natural and artificial resources.

And in order that this intelligence should reach all nations, and particularly those who are in the habits of friendly intercourse with this people, so faithful, so sensible of tranquility they have acquired by obedience to the laws, and by their merits. this MANIFESTO is ordered to be printed in the "Gazette of the Government," and copies of the same to be forwarded by our Secretary to all Consuls and National Agents in foreign countries.

(Signed)
NICHOLAS MAHY.
