low up with constancy in communicating TO our
readers the information which received from
the North, relating TO the evil minded persons who
imagine to disturb US by an invasion Of the island,
melted by the prospect Of gold which Cuba trea-
tures M, and by the candid expectation Of max

brought by the Falcon steamer, and we have now
further news by the Ohio. II appears that 800 men
