THE UPTON EXPEDITION.

Were we to believe the numerous reports of Spanish
successes in the island of Cuba which are forwarded from
Habana almost every day we should have little hesitation
in regarding the revolution of the Cubans against Spanish
oppression at an end. Though the accomplishments of
the revolutionists in the field have not been remarkably
brilliant it is impossible to lose sight of the fact that
they haye all along aimed at harassing their
opponents in small bodies rather than depending
on the chances of regular engagements. It i 8
true that the Cubans have been unsuccessful in
many of their armed expeditions, and that the
attempts of the Cuban sympathisers to furnish the men
battling for independence on Cuban soil with arms and
ammunition have been frequently frustrated ; yet, not-
withstanding the glowing telegram of Captain General de
Rodas "that the filibustering expedition which sailed
from New York on the George B. Upton " has proved sa
failure, and that the men, arms, and ammunition intended
for the Cubans were captured by a Spanish force of one
hundred strong, we are inclined to the belief that the ex-
pedition of the -Upton was as successful as the truest well
wishers of the Cuban cause might desire. In
fact, the Spaniards knew nothing of the landing of
the expedition until five days after it had taken place.
Advices received in this city from Nuevitas and Habana
confirm this view of the matter. Five days after the
landing had occurred the fact was known in Nuevitas,
and that space of time elapsed before the troops or the
gunboats were placed in readiness to move. It is only
natural, from these facts, to infer that the relief which
the Upton brought was in the interior before the
Spaniards arrived. Besides, the Cubans in and
around Porto Brava are in considerable force,
and the Captain General's " one hundred men
arrested by two gunboats" would not have so
easy a task to perform as the reading of his Excellency's
despatch would lead us to suppose. Coming close on the
news of the Upton's expedition we have the news of the
sailing of the armed vessel Chieftain from London,
England, for Cuba, and in aid of the Cubans. What
will De Robas say to this ? If he would be on the safe,
side this time he had better order his cruisers to sea in
anticipation of the arrival of the Chieftain, capture her
within five days' sail of the island, and thus make good
the low occasioned by being five days too late for the
capture of the Upton.—New York Herald.

The Record is informed that if the Bishop of
Winchester persists in moving the third reading of his
Sequestration Bill, Lord Cairns will be supported by the
Government in the opposition to its passing. •

The Eastern Budget says it is reported at Vienna
that every branch of the expenditure of the War Depart-
ment there is being carefully examined, with a view to
future reductions. All surplus stores are to be sold, un-
necessary articles of equipment abolished, and the uni-
forms of the various corps made as simple and inexpensive
as possible.
