VESSELS ORDERED TO CHECK THE INVADERS.
From the Washington Republic. May 20
Within the last few days, Information has been
received by the government, rendering it most
probable thata military organization had been set
on foot, within the United States, formidable both
innumbers and from the character of those engaged
in it, for the purpose Of attacking the island of
Cuba, and revolutonizing the government.
We. are informed that the President of the
United States, Immediately upon the receipt of the
information. directed orders 10 lie issued for the
vessels Of the home squadron, as also for the
steamer Saranac and frigate COngrhss, TO proceed
forthwith to the island of Cube for the purpose of
ascertanng whether any military force, organized
in the United States, was proceeding thence To
Cuba, for the purpose of invading that island,
and revoluilonl2in2 the government, with express
instructions, in the event of such being the case,
TO prevent the landing Of any such force. or the
carrying out of any such expedition or enterprise;
and with further instructions, in the event OF a
ing of any reinforcement, or of any arms or proyis-
ions under the American flag, intended for such
expedition or enterprise. In obedience 10 these
orders, we understand that the steamer SaTanac
proceeded TO sea ON Saturday last, and viii prob
ably reach Cuba by Thursday next, where it is
expected she will meet the Germantown, the
Albany, ard the Vixen
IL is confidently expected that the whole naval
force ordered hiher will reach the island of Cuba
before any considerable number of those engaged
in the enterprise can possibly have effected land
ing. and thus prevent violation of treaty obh
cations OF emiiy and peace with Spain.

Tho order of feet to Cuba, to prevent the landing
OF the invading troops, their supplies has created
great indignation especially among Southern men.
Mr.. Nulee has introduced n resolution or the sub
ject, and We expect debate on it tomorrow. This
pursuit of citizens beyond the jurisdiction o; the
United States Is regarded high handed outrage,
and MANY persons think that the President ought to
have communicated with Congress on the matter. We
informed however that the Navy will be too late
to prevent the landing.
The squadron orGeNd to Cuba viii look sharp afte
General Bopezs expedition. This affair is TO be blown
hard by the cabinet puiTers.
There Ia sort Of agreement between this govern
mpnt and Spain requiring to preserve the rights of
Spain TO Cuba, against any foreign invasion. Hnnce
the order for the Navy 10 engage In foreign This
interference win be si;tod to the bottom.

Of the life and character Of Gen. Narcso Lopez,
The commander-in-chief of the Cuban Army OF
Invasion, which we shall publish at the earliest
convenience.
