TUE CUBAN PRESS—SOMe CIRCOLATION.

Havana, Jalg 27, 1469.

To a reading people like the Americans the fol- lowing account wil prove a startling dact, which no correspondent has ever yet brovgut torward, that I am aware wt, aed as the result of ny inves. | tigationa, which in figures of plain arithmetic approack a4 near the truth and real.ty a4 anything that cae be ascertained ia this country, (he least comment I make upoa the subject will peruaps be the dest.

The entire population of Havana proper is sup- powsd te cousiat of about two hundred and fifty thousand souls, of all colors, Chere may be about | tweaty periodicals issued in the capital, juclading | weebly aad wouthly publicativgs, Bat there are | ouly five daily papers, and these are ouly permitted te oublish political wews aud treat on poltiies, aud te such a limited extent as the ceoser may | think proper. Tuese are Diaris de la Marina, (a joint eteck concern,) with uioe thousand sub- esribers ; El Sigle, (the ealy liberal paper), with ix thewsaud subdscribers; La Preasi de la Pshana, with three thousand subscribers ; Correa | dela Habana, with one thousand subserivers, aud the Giceto Oficial, (which does not trouble its head about politics, aud never writes a“ leader,” except ou special occasions about reyal vbsequies, d&e. it te specially used by the authorities for watters official, law business aud courts of justice, | &e. So we see that, even including the Gazette, which is ealy read by special classes of society, eut of two buadred and fifty thousaed souls ouly a very few read the daily papers. Syecia! classes are subscribers, of course, to two different papers, but they are few; and even in the above estimate we must cousider that many of the sudserivers reside ia ether parts of the island and elsewhere, | These, of course, do not subseribe to the insigni- | ficaut papers that come te light on the spute |

NEWS BY THE LAST ENGLISH MATL.

GEN, DUMONT'S MISSION TO ROME,

The Moniteur of Thursday publishes an article on Gen. Dumout's mission to Rome, in which it says:—* The journals are discussing the wission to Rome whieh had been entrusted to General Dumont, aud pubsish a speech alle sed | |

to have beeudelivered by linn. tis wecessary to state the exact truth of the alfuir. The Minister of War has sinply requested General Dumont, during his stay in Rome, to inquire into the causes which had led to a certain number of desertions from the Antibes Legion, ). As resurds the speech attributed to Geueral Dumont, suflive it to say it was not spoken. Lhe reports published of it ave apocryphal.” The Coastitutionnel of Thursday publishes anarticle by M. Paulin Limayrac, in which he shows that france has not interfered dipioma- }tically iu the diferences between Prussia and Deuwark. Lustructions have been seat to the Preach representative at Berlin, from which all idea of interteriog in the ue sotiations uuw pend ing between Berlin and Copenhazen was ex- eluded. The Woaileur has stated the truth of tthe situation by declaring that no uote has been cither presented or read to the Berlia Cabinet relative to Sehieswiz. [t was, however, vot stated that the Preach Government had written uO despatches tu its Charge d” Affaires at Berlin on the subject. Every vac knows that govern- nents almost daily seud of despatches contain- ing instructions or directious on the various peuding questions, and frequently their repre sentatives read or comnmunicate contidea tinlly such ducumeats. These are mere acts of courtesy, bearings uo vificial character, and inno way alfecting the relations existins be- tweeu the States. The prescutation of a Note would have been serious, but the existence of several despatches to our agent in) Berlin is

may induce the dealears of that port to send over sume cargues of grain.

THE FRENCH IN COCHIN CHINA.

The Etendard publishes intelligence from China which states that the French troops had occupied without resistance three of the west- ern provinces of Lower Cochin Cuina, captur- ing quantites of munitions and stores, and that the troops were favourably received by the inhabitants.

TERRIFIC EARTHQUAKE AT JAVA. The Java papers of the L4th June give full particulars of the dreadful earthquake which oceurred in the island on the morning of the 10th of June. It was very destructive in the districts of Cheribon, Pekalongan, Banjoemas,

Bazelen, Samarang, Djokjdokarta, and Soura- karta. The greater part of the indigo and

sugar manufactories, private houses, and mili-

jtary establishments are destroyed at Djukjdo, |

but in the other districts the damaze was not sv extensive. The losses, however, are incal- culable. The suzar crop, which had just been brought into the baras, is totally lost. A large number of Kuropeans aud natives perished—the report says as many as three hundred.
