Shell Road, TO Capt. Dan Hickoks hotel, on the
Lake shore The frs, man came across in ts
spacious Portico, was Tom Hyer, who is sm roate

even the mention Of ring, although he is accom-
panied by his better half, and Country McClusky.
j am told that Tom offered and refused, sl 900,
if he would consent to set to with Country, in the
amphiiheaire at Algiers After partaking Of some
of Capt Dams good cheer / took stroll across the
canal bridge, to take look at the yach, Undine,

single STAR at her peak, under the and stripes

public OF Cuba. The Undine is owned by the
Grand Scribe Of the " Owls" and If she does
leave above, IL will be doubtless 10 hover round
the coast of Cuba, either for the purpose Of carry

the leaders To leave in hurry, should they get in

fCorrcspondcnce Of the Advertised
WssrIiNGros, May a--All doubts relative to
the Cuban expedition, and the course of the adj
minisiraon IN regard to IL, set et rest by the
official notlncsions appearing IN the Jntohgcneu
and Reppbtic this morning. In addition TO those
evidences of the intentions Of the executive, j
learn that the President last Saturday expressed
himself vcry freely 20 all with whom he conversed
the subjcct Tie President said that in
addition 20 The OF every excrtion To preserve
the neutrality Of the United States, he should
not thin il his duty to intcrpose in behalf of the
invaders case they he defeated in the struggle
they ha,s en red upon, or thrown into the power Of
their exss ,cisted enemies. He says the fullest
warning Aas Dcen given In his proclamstion.o OF the
dangers and Lopelessness of the criminal attempt,
and that they will have nothing to hope from the
protectisn of their own government in the event Of
failure. There is no doubt, however, that IL the
adventures shall find themselves defeated in their
enterprise, and thTowa into the power Of relent-
less and eSaspcratrd foe, Gen. Taylor would take
measures 90 moderate the vengeance Of the con-
quefor, and guard the capiives against the cruelty
with which, under such circumstances, they might
well expect TO be treated. II is questioned here

The expedition for the capture OF this island is
