Invasion NJ Suspicious Movements.

Meetingss(s nightly held in this city-some
cretly, son ,tsnore publicly; and organizations
Of a very extensive character are forming for some
secret expedition, of which no one engaged but the
leaders know any thing. Several bodies Of men,
numbering over a hundred each, have organized
themselves into regular military divisions and have
entered with the coalition, which IL now assuming
a shape too formidable TO be overlooked On Mon
day evening, large number of these men met at
Lafayette Hall, when the meeting was called TO or
der by Colonel Carr, and large number enrolled
their names, on the promise Of seven dollars a
month and a thousand at the end of the year Next
Saturday is the appointed time for sailing; and,
while the real destination OF the expedition u I'M
known, il il given out as a gold-hunt 10 California
They, however, promise TO divulge the nature OF
the enterprise TO the members on the day Of sailing
Saturday next. Some think il is TO California
they are going, and others that they to cspousc
thu cause Of the whites in Yucatan; but II is most
to be feared, despite the plain and straightior-
ward proclamation of President Taylor, warning
all against such an expedition "a violation Of the
laws of nations that the true destination OF this
armed force IL Cuba.
The men engaged in this movement young
men who are out of employment, but are good
looking, stout, healthy persons, ripe for any excit
ing adventure Indeed, many Of them are volun-
tcers who have been in Mexico and who show as
great relish for this expedition as they did Tor
that.
We, therefore. wish to caution our citizens that
they look on both sides Of the picture before they
engage in this enterprise. BY virtue Of the recent
proclamation of President Taylor and in the eyes
Of the law, all Americans engaging in an unlaw-
ful expedition against the head Of the Island Of Gu
ba in fact deliberately expatriate themselves and
forfeit their rights 10 the protection of the Govern
Tnent.
while upon this subject, we wish 20 remark that
sc Locofoco press i'm this country are finding fault
with the Presidents proclamation al the expcns,
of every thing like truth and honesty. The Pres
ident has not sought 10 retard the Independence o
Cuba or TO prevent any Of the revolutionary de.
aigns of the Cuban people. What he has done, and
what il would have been criminal 10 omit has been
90 prevent any invasion of Cuba from the United
States Good faith towards Spain, and positive law
at home demanded interference thus far and re-
cent events have demonstrated that there was
abundant reason for the Presidents proclamation.
