Commodore Sir EDWARD OWES has quitted his
residence at Deal, and proceeded to take the com-
mand of the squadron to which he has been ap-
ps inted. Rumour assigns its object to be to take pos-
session of Cuba, which island, it is said, has been
ceded by Spain to Great Britain, as the price of its
neutrality in the impending contest. Another sur-
mise fixes its destination as a Squad! on of Observa-
tion in the Mediterranean. It is probable, however,
that another squadron will be appointed for the latter
object.
