LATEST FROM THE CUBA EX--
IN .PEDITION. II

,oe,ve of the Creole in Key West--Arri-
hei"e IF General Lopez in Savannah--His
vest by order of the Executive.
New ORLEANS May 81, 1850.
We have just received by magnetic
,olsoraph from Mobile the following in
,slIioence, which IS the very latest from
the Cuba expedition.
'H1 1,6arIeston S. c., May 26th 1850
rhe steamer Isabel, Rollins, master,
f,om Havana uia Key West and Savan-
nab arrived in port. She left Havana on
wednesday, the 22d inst, at 8 o'c:o:k,
NJ and brings the most important and
interesting news about Gen. Lopez and
the expedition.
The Spanish war steamer PiSoro
.,hased the steamer Creole, with Gen. Lo-
nez's party on board, as far as Key West,
where the Creole took refuge, upon
which the Pizarro turned back.
General Lopez took passage on board
the Isabel, and arrived yesterday at Sa-
vannah, safe and in fine spirits.
Immediately after his arrival, the Y. ..
Marshal at Savannah called upon Gen.
Lopez and arrested him in the name OF
the Government of the United States.
Most of the men accompanying Gen.
Lopez remained at Key West with the
Creole. .,
Another despatch, we understand, is
in the city stating that Lopez had been
released from his arrest and would pro-
ceed to this city We think it will be
inst as well for him not to come here. 1t
appears, 10y the dispatch, that he is 'ln
fine spirits He certainly seems to be
easily pleased, though probably his being
chased into Key West and then a6a7aao~'
ing those ,cho had trusted IN ham, is an
other ':ruse," and part of "h1s ortgaeaI
plau.'' His good spirits may also arse
from the satisfa ction of his having escaped
with a whole neck for himself, without
stopping to think of the daring and gal
liant hearts he has left on the coast OF Gu
ba. without leader or information that
will! enable them to avoid their too prob
able fate. We most anXiously await fur
ther details.

The CoMPRoMIsE.-The Macon Journal
and Messenger has an able article upon
this sub; ;ect, concluding with the following
paragraph:
We regard the proposition of the Com
mittee, as being more favorable TO the
South than the Clayton Compromise, the
Walker Compromise, or even the Missouri
Compromise. The latter was nothing
but an act abolashing Slavery north of
Sc 80. 1t only tolerated it south of that
line. The present Compromise leaves
the achole territory north aud south of
SO 80 open TO be settled by aUehOlderS
subject to the protection of the "lex loci'
during the territorial existence. 1t eX-
pressly prohibits Legislation by the Ter
ritorial Legislatures upon the subject of
African Slavery, and reserves all action
upon that subject to the new States, when
organized. IT, therefore, slavery has not
been abolished in the Territory, as has
been contended by Messrs. Calhoun,
Benton and others, the Courts will be
bound to protec, the rights of citizens to
slave property there. This single pro-
vision. then, of the compromise, covers
the whole ground occupied by Mr.. Clay
toms bill of 184S That bill was defec-
tive, because it did not go far enough.
The present Compromise proposition sup
plies, in great measure, the defect We
hope, therefore, that the Southern people
will not rush rashy into its condemna ton;
hut sanction its adoption in modified
form. 1t is denounced by the whole
horde of Abolition fanatics at the North,
as being completely destructive of their
Freesoil platform. We caunot act in
concert with such men upon such sub
ject, and. therefore, are constrained to
sanction the proposition of the Committee.
