SAVANNAH, MAT 26.--Much excitement was pro-
duced here last night by the arrest of General Lope*
by the United States Marshal, under orders from the
President of the United States. His aide-de-camp,
Major Sanchez Essnaga, was also taken into custody.
They were carried before Judge Nichols, of the Dis-
trict Court. The court-room was densely crowded.
No evidence being adduced to justify commitment,
the parties were discharged at about a quarter past
eleven o'clock last night, amidst cheering among the
spectators.
General Lopez was conducted to his lodgings at
the City Hotel by a large escort of citizens.
A private telegraphic message from New York, re-
ceived by our Liverpool correspondent, contains the
following additional particulars of the defeat of the
expedition under General Lopez :

THE CUBAN EXPEDITION.
The Courier and Enquirer of this morning publishes
a letter frem its Havannah correspondent, which states
that even the convicts whom Lopez liberated refused to
join him, and the departure of the invaders was has-
tened by observing the country people arriving with
hostile demonstrations against them. The Government
have declared the island in a state of blockade, but it is
believed that the merchant vessels engaged in lawful
trade will bo exposed to very little inconvenience. The
steamer Georgia sailed for Chagres on the 21st inst.,
with 600 passengers, none being allowed to land at
Havannab. The steamer Falcon sailed on the 22d
from New Orleans. At Cardenas a troop of Lancers.
who charged the troops of Lopez, were all killed. All
the foreigners at Havannah, except the Americans, of-
fered their services against the invaders. The Governor
of Cardenas, who was captured by Lopez, had returned
to Cardenas. Lopez had possession of Cardenas sixteen
hours. When the troops arrived from Matanzas the
fighting commenced. The invaders lost 30, killed and
wounded, and the Spanish from 90 to 150. The in•
vaders continued fighting and retreating until they
reached the steamer Creole, when they sailed, closely
pursued by the steamer Pizarro. Lieutenant Jones, of
Alabama, was one of the wounded; he received a ball
through his right side. He is at Key West.
Another letter states that the invaders were attacked
when within six yards of the Governor's house by a
shower of bullets from the tops of the houses, piazzss,
&c., which wounded Colonel Wheat and O'Hara and a
number of men—none mortally. The invaders returned
the fire, and the battle lasted near an hour, when a white
flag was shown from the Governor's house. Soon after
the citizens renewed the fighting, when the invaders set
the house on fire, causing the Governor to surrender
with his staff, 100 in all, wbo were placed in the bar-
racks. 150 prisoners were released from the gaol; the
invaders remaining in quiet possession of the city till
evening, except Lopez and staff, and Captain Logan, of
Kentucky, with 25 men, who went aboard the Creole.
At this juncture 200 Lancers and cavalry mounted and
renewed the fight, which lasted nearly one hour, killing
and wounding 12 of the invaders, including Captain
Logan, who diet on board the Creole. The Spaniards
lost all except 12. The invaders retreated and sailed.
Captain Smith was slightly wounded. Quartermaster
Scizias. of Miss., has since died. Major Hawkins, of
Kentucky, is seriously wounded. One of Lopez's staff is
missing and another wounded.
Orders have been dispatched to arrest all connected
with the expedition on their landing.
