Particulars of the Sanft Cruz In-

surrection.

Probable Less ef a* American Schooner Carrying Gonzales. a

Havana, Oct. 15.—The French steamer from St Thomas has just arrived, bringing further particulars of the insurrection in Santa Cruz. The insurrection broke out in the west end of the island, where three-fourths of the towns were burned or pillaged. The insurgents then traversed the island towards Bassin, but fortunately the timely arrival of forces from St. Thomas saved that part of the island. Sixty-seven sugar estates were burned, and only nine of value remain. The principal leaders of the insurrection are now undergoing trial, About eifht hundred insurrectionists are ttill scattered about the country. The cause of the insurrection was the short payments of wages and the refusal of the authorities to give passports to the negroes. Santa Cruz was already declining rapidly, and the island is therefore totally ruined. The merchants of St. Thomas lost heavily by the insurrection.

Advices from Santo Domingo 6ay that no tidings have been received of the American schooner Jordon L. Mott, carrying ex-President Gonzales and twenty-two of his followers to Cuarclo, and it is feared they all perished in the severe hurricane which swept the south coast of Santo Domingo on the 3d of September. ?,
