ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
In addition to the particulars above given by our va
rous correspondents, have collected the following
items, many OF which are mostly from an extra from
the office of the Savannah Republican
1T Is stated that after the capture OF Cardenas many
OF the invaders visited the Cafes in one of which the
proprietor was especially attentive furnishing them with
refreshments segars &c, and taking the money of his
apparently welcome customers with the utmost obse-
| quousness About the time OF the embarkaon of the
expedition, they were suddenly assaed by some forty
mounted men The invaders opened their line, recev-
ed them with shower of balls, and not an individual
OF the assalng party or horse escaped. Among the
killed was discovered he body of the attentive host
who had supplied them with refreshments. This was
rather startling piece OF information those who enter
tanned the expectation of being received with open arms
| by the Cubans.
We learn that when the Isabel left Key West, there
remained on the island several hundred of the adven.
rers who reached there on the Creole without means
OF conveyance to any point and if transportation
was at hand, most OF them were without funds to pay
for This the more to be deplored from the fact that
such an unexpected accumulation of persons ould be
very likely to create scarcity OF provisions
ltappears that in looking after the Creole the Pizar-
no encountered the barque Georgiana, which had re-
turned from the groupe islands near the of Yu-
catan, from whence the expedition sailed The Geor-
gada had on board some thirty forty men, who pre-
1eTred not to accompany the expedition. These were
taken prisoners Some accounts state that there were
but abouta dozen men on board the Georgianu

AIDES, like the invaders, and distributed themselves
through the town with at least, the ostensibe object of
conciating the people in favor OF their new vsors-
1t does not appear however, that much impression was
made tins way, and 1t is certain that the Spanish Off
GERS all remained faithful to their flag, exhibiting
throughout courage worthy of the DAYS Of old Castillo
On leaving the habor of Cardenas the course of the
vessel was laid in N w direction, in order to avoid
the risk OF meeting Spanish men-ot-war As soon as
the land faded from view, Gen. Lopez gave orders to
stand westward his intention being TO make another
landing at the town OF Nantua, in Vuelta de Abajo."
The district called is all that part of the Island of
Cuba westward from Havana. A large part of the
command had, however, become discouraged by the
warm reception they had met with by the Spanish
troops, and resolved not TO attempt another landing
Inc orders OF Gen Lopez were repeated when coun-
Gil was called and three fourhs of the force deter
mined to land at Key West, placing guard over the

The Creole ran aground in leaving the harbor of Car
denas and remained six hours the expectation of be-
ing overhauled by armed vessels. She was only got

the South passage, while the Pizaro took the North
passage. Thus they missed each other while outside
While the Creole was lying aground for six hours at
Cardenas with the momentary expectation of being at

came into the harbora nigh on side OF it in search
of her and passed on the other side without disco
