The New York Express Of Saturday contains
copy Of the declaration of one of the conspir-
ators concerned in the late nsurrcctionary move
ment in the island Of Cuba. All the free negroes
and mulattoes 1t appears, were privy to the revolt;
and 1.-THE discovery had heen delay ed a few DAYS
longer, nothing, it is stated could have prevented
a most horrid massacre. The whole plan of oper-
atoms is revealed in the declaration of the con-
spirator, who was interpreter among the negroes
and mulattoes, and was induced 10 become an
accomplice in the plot by the promise of $4,000
and the rank of Brigadier. The Provisional kim
was to have been Mr.. TuRNBuLL the English
Consul now residing in Jamaica, who. i, is stated,
has $4,000 to cover the expense of arms, am
munition, and expenses of agents in the cause
The whole Island was TO rise at the same hour,
midnight.
The blacks in the vicinity of Cardcnas were to
set fire to the buildings, murder the whites, take
their arms, and proceed a; once to the shore near
Cardenas, where they would find six thousand
stand otarms and ammunition, landed from an Enp-
llsh brig, which was TO have come from New
Providence, and fall upon MatanZas with about
$4,000 men, where they would join their principal
chief.

Has it ever occurred to you that the Texans

an immense tract of land, all west of the Rio del
Norte, and north of the Red River, three entire
provnces-whicb is now and ever has been in
the undisiurGcd possession of the Mexicans! Ii
it has not, such, nevertheless, is the fact This
tract includes the Province of Santa Fe, and two
others, which have Mexican Governors, and ne
yer had Texan upon then Texas proper is
bounded on the East by the Sabine and the Gulf
on the North by Red River, on the West by the
Rio del Norie; and yet the Texans claim to the
Gulf Of California and the Pacific Ocean, and to
extend north the Lord knows how far-to Oregon

to our Saviour all the Kingdoms of the earth, not
one of which belonged TO him.
