IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.

LANDING OF GEN. LOPEZ,

aggerated Fumon and pompous public documents
From these il would appear that Lopez landed at
Cafdefias, but after a few hours occupation was
compelled to retreat But tie truth of the matter
IS. simply, that he took possession Of a town of
1000 inhabitants, seized the public treasure. and
scattered his proclamations, remained day. and
reembasked, to proceed to the Northern part Of the
Island, where Is the centre Of disafeefon. This i.
the sum and substance of the news when assa.yssd
The people Of Cardenas do not seem TO havs
reason in lhis favor, nor did they take part aeninst
him. He landed with but 800 men; il would have
been easy for the inhabitants to have repelIei q
band of inuaders Of this number. That they ss-
NAMED passive, itself speaks their sentiments.
When II Is remembered that Carienas Is only
some so miles from Havana, and within arms
length Of the Captain General and his forces il is
not TO be wondered at that the inhabitants Of Car
denas SHOULD decline to take mp arms szainst the
government We shall wait, with deep anxiety.
for news of the reception given 70 lopez by the
Central Department.
The Spanish squadron captured on the cast Of
YLeatan two small American vessels, having on
board 100 passengers. These were brought into
Havana and confined. Should they prove to have
been engaged in this expedition they must take
the consequences, if Spain dares to carry out her
legal rights. But such is the feeling in the South
west, whether right or wrong, that the death Of
American citizens, except in battle, will arouse
such spirit in the country, thatthe Spanish
thority will be swept Like chat before the storm.
The massacre Of the Alamo was the greatest blow
struck for the Independence Of Texas. The Gs-
rottng Of a few Americans viii emaneipate Cuba.
We publish the proclamations Of the Captain
General, and those Of Gen. Lopez. The Spanish
Grandee, it viii be seen, INDUCES in that vein Of
rhetoric which is national heirloom The idea
that American citizens should abjectly beg for their
lives must be proved by something better than
Spanish proclamation. If however, a few lies will
help him he cannot be blamed using thern though
it is rather provoking to have it published even in
such manner, that the heroes Of Palo Alto dis
gracefully conducted themselves in the presence Of
the enemy.
The reported capture of Col. Wheat, which was
circulated over the city last night produced pain
fol sensation, originating doubtless, from the exfE
ofthe Havana Gazette, dated O'Clock on the night
the 22d inst
That paper states the landing of Lopez with 400
men, who took the town by surprise, and his utter
defeat a few hours after, by $50 Spanish troops.
Lopez retreated disgracefuly, leaving behind him
large number of killed and wouuded-among the
latter is ''the selEsryled Col. White.''-Now Col.
White is at this time engaged in waiting the Ia
dies at Holmes-while Col. Wheat is not in the di-
vision under Lupez, but is with O'Hara.
The Pieayune gives the Spanish version Of the
affair, which its correspondent received second
hand from the authorities.
