American Minister in London, had said that h'e

Touching that expedition, the Washington cor-
respondent of the 1V au York Herald says :
" Alverado Hunter is soon expected here to join the
Kinney expedition, which has not been knocked on the
head by Marcy's manifesto, as many supposed it to be.
The Kinney volunteers are willing to risk the outside
chances, suspecting, as they do, that after passing by the
western end of Cuba, in the Caribbean Sea, they will
tack about, turn their backs upon the Mosquito Coast,
and make all sail for the eastern end of Cuba, 43 0 miles
from Havannah and the body of the Spanish troops.
By this movement they count upon a successful landing
and such a revolutionary rising as will enable them to
march triumphantly from the eastern to the western ex-
tremity of the island, gathering strength as they go, like
a rolling snowball. The Quitman organisation and the
Filibustering Juntas in New York and New Orleans
are said to be branches of the Kinney expedition which
is to pioneer the way. The treasury of the FillibusterA
[ at New Orleans, we learn, is able to command at any
time a million and a half of money, and that all con-
cerned are preparing for a terrible surprise to General
Concha. You will have perceived that he is alarmed,
and is enrolling the Mulattoes, and making all the usual •
preparations for repelling an impending invasion. Eng-
lish and French vessels of war are also mysteriously in-
creasing at Havannah.and that neighbourhood.",
