Intelligence has reached us from a reliabhe
source that a force numbering between 500
and 500 men, has recently been assembled at
Round Island, opposite Pascagoula, under
the command Of a Colonel White, who fg-
ured not long ago at Yucatan.
Ii is also stated that the sum Of $3.50, 600
has been deposited in Mobile, to promote the
objects of this nefarious movement, the par
ticular direction of which is not yet distinctly
ascerlained; though from facts lately come
10 light through authentic channels, its desli-
nation is supposed TO be Cuba, where a land
ing is contemplated at the south side Of the
island. 1t is understood that rendezvous,

CONGRESSIONAL EaEcrIoNs.-By the re.
turns which have come in Of the recent Con-
gressional elections in Indiana, Kentucky,
Tennessee and North Carolina, 1t appears to
be settled beyond controversy that the present
administration will not have a working ma.
ioyity in the next Congress. In Kentucky
the Democrats have gained enc Member cl
Congress.
In Indiana they have gained two, and the
Free Sellers have elected Geo. w. Iulian in
the district represented in The last Congress
by Caleb b. Smith.
In Tennessee, Andrew,Ewing (Dem.j has
been elected in the 9Th district oyer William
CuIIom, (TayIor) which is a gain for the
Democrats.
In N. Carolina, the relative strength of par
ties is unchanged.
Y'he gain of these five votes by the Demo
cratic and Free Sell parties will make a change
OF ten votes against the administration in the
lower House Of Congress, and tho parties
will then be so nearly divided as 10 give the
free Sellers the balance Of power.
