Havana, Deoember 2. ?The publica* tion of the protocol, signed by Secretury Fish and the Spanish Minister, caused intense agitation and general iudigua-1 tion here; but popular feeling is calming down, nnder the oonviotion that the ? Spanish Government will defend Spa? nish honor, and under the confidence, which is placed in the sense aud justice and prudence of the peonlo of the United States. There have been no vio? lent demonstrations, aud the peace of the oity is undisturbed. The people and authorities are in, full accord, and re? ports of the resignation of the higher officers of the island are positively con? tradicted. ' The authorities are deter? mined to save the country and prevent foreign interference. Captain General Jovellar has issuod the following procla? mation: Inhabitants of Havana: It is my dnty to prevent public opinion from going astray. I consider it opportune to address you as a friend, recommend? ing the utmost calmness uuder tho pre? sent circumstances. The Virginius question has - given Spain's enemies an opportunity to spread false rumors and alarming news. Certainly they would produce an effect on your ardent and unimpeachable patriotism, while their only objeot was to promote tho rebel cause. It is true, that treaties have been made, and that I have received communications in relation to them: but if I have managed to inspire yon with any confidence, give me proof of it by your reflective and tranquil behavior. Be assured, I will do everything possi? ble in behalf of the interests of the pro? vince and the dignity of the nation, whioh, like yourselves, I hold in higher esteem than life. (Signed,) JOVELLAR.
