News FROM CUBA. Our aPprehensions that the
revolution had broken out prematurey in Cuba. We're
somewhat relieved yesterday by the news brought
by the Falcon. The alarm there, which our cores
pondent was induced by the mysterious air and
dences of an uprising of the people, has happily
proved to be without foundation. Happily, we say,
for where affairs are proceeding so rapidly and so
surely to favorable result in that Island, it would
be unfortunate indeed, if the arrangement were haz-
arded and parties compromised by premature action.
We trust the Cubans will bide their time Wait un-
til the measure is rendered certain and then strike
the blow for freedom and independence.

France. That government have guillotined men who
have been guilty of half his treason He was kicked
out of the democratic party, and is the head of

A woman that has but one lover,

that has several, concludes herself
no more than a coquet.
Reciprocal love is justice; constant
