(PROW OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.
The fine steam ship Europa, after the quickeat
passage ever made across the Atlantic, arrived in the
Mersey this morning at 9 o'clock, having been tj'Z'.
graphed off Voel Naut at half-past G a.m. The
Europa left New York on the sth inst., and called at
Halifax on the 8:h to land and receive the mails and
peesengen to and from the British American pro.
emcee. The entire time occupied between her de.
pirture from New York and arrival here (including
di tention at Halifax) was only ten days and twenty
hours. _

The Europa brings the large number of 150 N.
sang's'''. She reports the arrival at Halifax OA the
3rd of June of the steam ship America, which left
this port on the 25th ult. The Europi on the l';.h
inst. met the steam ship Cambria, which left tnis on
the Bth inst. for New York.
The files brought by the Europa extend to the ;
inst., but the news is brought down to the 7tl: irvo
via telegraph to Halifax.
We subjoin some of the more interesting i:eas of
importance.
That portion of the intelligence re,,,;ard:ng the 1. ,but
invasion is confirmatory of former aceour.'s, thoogla
the details are somewhat contradict-ry.
One report states that a portion of the invaders had
landed on the south side of Cuba, and had takes
session of Cienfuegos and Trini•lad. Great fire:te.
ment had taken place at Havannah on the receipt
this news, and a large number of troops had left fw
the supposed scene of action. In fact, scarcely,
soldier remained in Havannah. The brig
lately arrived at Savannah from Cubs, repays that
all the troops had again left for Careens. On the
other hand it is stared that intelligence had mom
the Spanish legation in Washington that no !, .- •r to
1,500 prisoners had been taken in two large ve•-;#
on the south coast of Cuba, moat of whom w.re Amt.,
rims, who were allowed to return, those of ~ter
countries being tried by court-menial.
Despatches had been received at Washingtv. from
the American consul at Havanna, staring grit he
had demanded the 10.5 persons; taken by a SeaMett
ship-of-war on the Island of C4ntoy, that rah- a
neutral territory. The men who had been taken on
that island bad not engaged in open hostilisa etd
were engaged considering the propriety oF ahandon.
leg the island and returning home when they were
emzed upon. The Governor of Cuba not having re-
lilted to the consul's demand, that functionary bad
heat for additional power to enforce i% Accorditg.y,
despatches had been forwarded frcni Washicgton to
each portions of the squadron as could h: immediately
colected at Havannah, to assist the tut..u; in prrssing
the demand. Should the Specie!. .4ove; meat reuse
the consul is to report to Waskine.,r, , when orders
will be at once given to obstruct commu:Lition of all
vessels with the port cf Havannah.
A Washington letter states that a c.,until of 'ral

Havannah.

A c nrespondence is said to fr.v,.? passtd (a
Mr. Clayton and the Spanish rel itive • • e
icuirizonment of certain AMeli',lL4 at II tv..r.7.1C,
upon unfounded suspicions of connivance sti!li to
invaders, and also with respect to the timed en.i4-
ment of Americans into the Calm " volunt,cr

bands. The Spanish minister assnrfd Mr. C:l3-!-1
that the course which would be pursued by the
rities at Cuba would be such as could eke no cau•,
complaint to the Cabinet of the Uni ei States, a:1
that no American citizen should be imprisoned,
put to death, unless on ample proof being given of t' 'e
violation of tho laws of Spain, Cuba, and also of ::e
Unitci States.

A letter from Washington, dati.d Jane 3, says, the
official information bad jut reached of the execut.
of four Americans, and the impr:slnuaLut of Tie:-
200 others. The four who had been shot had ')
mougst those left behind at Cardenas. The S 7—. •

authorthes had refused the conmar.d,..r of the

States squadron permission to see the prism,
permit them to b. sent home for trial.
The United States frigate Congiiss ial a:
C.iba, to intercept a Spanish vessel, rental, i•
ber cf Americans, taken prisoners in an i,. •

nish man-of-war. Captain Randolph. of :h,
greets, is determined to rescue the Amer icaa pu
I at all hazards.

D.spatchea have been forwarded 'rmi tie l:cited
States governm-nt to the Cubm web that the
arrest of Americans on any other island, save Cuha,
will not be permitted.
The Spanish minister at Wash'.ngton had remon-
strated against the refusal of the American gator:-
ties at Key West to deliver up the money whith the
invaders had taken. The Spanish cummandrr .nad
demanded the surrender of rhe Creole and the m •r( v.
The reply made him was," We have no force, and
invaders will not give up the money." The Spec
commander then offered to put himself and Lis en:A
force us der the command of the civil authorities if
Key West, for the purpose of takirg the Creo:e
the money. This was declined, a promise heir mite
that the money would be returned by order 0 ito
United States government to the Cuban aulimi-t .s.
It is generally believed that the invaders hare
their pay many members of the American press.
Two vessels, with reinforcemen's for 6,:eral

to the number, names, eat' probable fate of the pr.-
toners, who were very closely confined.
General Lopez addressed the citizens of Mobi.e on
