AMERICAN NEWS,

--------
DEFEJLT AND EXECUTION OF LOPEZ.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 21.
By the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Jud-
kins, we have advices from New York to the 10th
inst. She brings 200,0001. in specie.
On the 10th the Asia passed a steamer, supposed to
be the Washington, and on the 19th spoke the mail-
steamer Baltic.
The United States mail-steamer Franklin arrived at
New York from Havre on the Bth inst.
The Asia has made rather a long passage, in con-
sequence of the dense fogs which have lately prevailed.
The steamship Hermann, which is daily expected
at Southampton, has 257,000 dollars on freight.
By the Empire City, arrived at New York, we have
advices from Havannah to the Ist inst.
Certain particulars have been received of Lopez
and his band. Havannah had been the scene of
jubilee rejoicing for three days, owing to the cap-
ture of General Lopez and his forces. The news
reached Havannah on the 30th ult. Lopez was
taken in the interior wandering alone. Nearly ex-
hausted from fatigue and hunger, he asked for
something to eat at a farmhouse, and permission to
lie down. While asleep he wus bound and made
prisoner. Of his followers 155 were to be sent to
Spain for ten years' confinement. They say their
sufferings before being taken were intense. For several
days they lived on the leaves of trees, &c. The last
meat they ate was the horse of General Lopez. They
had no arms when taken. The remainder of the
party have either been shot or perished from hunger.
There are killed and wounded of the Spanish troops
2,000-1,500 killed and 500 wounded. In every
engagement with Lopez the troops are said to have
been routed with severe loss.
General Enna, the bravest officer in the army, was
shot while leading a charge at the head of a small
squadron of cavalry. He was second in command to
Concha. At that charge every man was shot down.
The Spanish General said it was impossible to rally
the troops to charge on the assailants.
Lopez was " garroted " on Monday morning, the
Ist of September. The scene of execution was at
the Punta, opposite the Moro. There were assem-
bled from 8,000 to 10,000 troops and as many
citizens.
A few minutes before ten o'clock Lopez was brought
forward and ascended the platform with a steady
step ; facing the multitude he made a short speech,
and his last words were—"l die for my beloved
Cuba." He then took his seat, the machine was ad-
justed, at the first twist of the screw his head dropped
forward, and he was dead.
In no instance, the prisoners say, had the Creoles
of the island manifested the least disposition to join
then.
The excitement in Havannah is fast subsiding since
the annihilation of Lopez and his forces.
The steam-ship Prometheus had arrived at New
York from San Juan with dates from San Francisco
to the Ist ult., and 350,000 dolls. on freight.
The steam-ship Georgia had also arrived with
1,500,000 dolls. on freight, and 400,000 dolls. in the
hands of passengers.
The steam-ship Oregon, for Panama, had 1,800,000
dolls. on her freight list. Our advices state that Go-
vernor M'Dougal had issued a proclamation i❑ regard
to the organization of Vigilance Committees in various
portions of the State, discountenancing the formation
of such bodies, and declaring his intention to enforce
the execution of the laws.

The accounts from the southern mines are satisfac-
;ory, especially in regard to the quartz veins.
The burnt district in San Francisco had been again
covered with houses. Few stages of the conflagration
remain in the lower part of the city, and the light
wooden buildings that were destroyed had been re-
placed by substantial erections of brick.
Later intelligence from Sacramento reports the
slaughter of a large number of Indians at Pike River.
From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to the
31st ult. Heavy rains had fallen. The cholera was
still prevalent.
The Royal mail steamer Conway left on the 29th
for St. Thomas.
Cavendish tobacco was dull at 100. per lb.
We have accounts from Valparaiso to July the
25th. Her Majesty's ship Gordon was at that port
on the 10th. A destructive storm occurred on the
7th, and some vessels were driven ashore, among
them the English steamer Peru. This vessel also
took fire, but after much exertion it was extinguished,
and the goods and treasure saved. Business during
the greater part of the month had been paralysed,
and no transactions of moment, particularly in ma-
nufactured goods, had taken place. A few English
vessels had been chartered for guano and saltpetre
at 2/. ss. to a safe port for orders. Exchange on
London, 4 to 5} for 60 days.
In Bolivia, the decree allowing foreign goods to be
entered at a lower duty from vessels which had not
touched at other ports, bad been revoked.
From Ecuador we hear of a revolution in favour of
Urbina and the banishment of Nova.
Honduras accounts of the 9th ult. mention that
the long-expected floods had at length come down.
Advices from the Sandwich islands to the 21st of
June report limited business transactions. Immense
damage both on sea and land appears to have been
experienced from the hurricane which lately ravaged
the West India Islands. We notice, among other
wrecks, that of a Spanish man-of-war. She stranded
off Apalachicola, and lost several of her crew.
In the New York Stock market the tendency for
non-dividend paying stock has been downwards. The
arrival during the week of 2,500,000 dolls. from Ca-
lifornia has relieved the money market. Exchanges
were dull. Sterling 9} to 10f.
The Cotton market continued firm, with a further
advance in prices of jc. per lb. on most grades. The
demand for cotton fabrics continued steady.

Woollens heavy.
Flour and meal rather firmer. Wheat in request.
Tobacco firm. Freights very dull.
Advices from Valparaiso of the 25th of July an-
nounce the arrival at that port of the British mail
steamer New Granada, Joy Commander, with
8,000,000 dolls. in silver bullion on freight.

gallant mast, Bco., and three men overboard. The men
were rescued, but they had sustained serious injury.
The British brig William, from Liverpool, at San
Francisco, was struck with a heavy sea off Cape Horn,

on the 7th inst. off the Capes of Delaware steering north-

Croix on the 18th ult. was felt off the Tortugas on the
21st and 22d, swept the coast thence to Now York, on
the 24th, and from the northern coast of the United
States took a south-easterly direction, and was finally
experienced at Bermuda on the 26th ult.
