From Havana.
--We are indebted to Capt. D. A. Martin, of the schooner Breek O'Day, which arrived yesterday morning from Havana, for the following news:‘ The steamer Fox, formerly the Whitemors, left Havana on the 1st inst., for a Confederate port, with a large amount of powder and arms. She was chased into Bahia Honda, by a Yankees steamer, and a shell from the latter vessel burst on the Whitemore'deck, wounding the captain, and disabling the steamer's engines.
He says, there are from seven to eight Confederate vessels arriving there from different ports daily, and that the whole coast, from Cape Antonio, is strongly guarded by Yankee vessels.
He also learns, on what he thinks to be good authority; that the Captain-General is in possession of certain information concerning the visit of the French Minister, M. Mercier, to Richmond, and that, he says, it is undoubtedly stated that Government would recognize the Confederacy very shortly. This report, he says, is very current in all the circles in Havana, and that it was believed by every one.
We did not learn the exact amount of arms and ammunition the Break O'Day brought, but can state hat there is a considerable quantity of all kinds on board.--Mobile Tribune, 10th.
