titles of arms and ammunition have been re-
ceived, and several vessels have left with men,
artillery, etc, ostensbly for Chagres, but snp-
posed bound for the invasion of Cuba. Yestcr-
day, the Spanish Consul offered $4,000 for the
charter Of steamer, to convey dispatches to
Cuba. The owners, however, refused and the
Consul then sent them in "A fast schooner.
There is no question, but that a concerted at
tsmptis being, or about to be made, for the inya-
sion Of Cuba, and already rumor, with her ten
thousand tongues, says, Gen. Lopez has sailed
Tor the conquest Of the richest Island of the
Southern Sea. The cupidity Of the savenolder,
and delightful climate of this winterless land,
both conspre to whet the appetite for the beauty
and booty of this tempting shore. The simple
facts, however, that the Island is redolent with
the perfume Of the Slave and that the South are
very anxious to get rid ofslavery (?) are enough
to inspire the labor-hatng Slaveocrats of the
South, with sufficient determination to pollute
with their Harpiean touch. this very Eden the
Ocean. Especially since they begin TO fear that
possibly the Pacific shore may be unpouted by
the breath of a Driver and uncursed by the
tread of a slave. We sincerely hope this horri-
Die plot may be exploded, with the undistinguish-
ed ruin of every tyrant or abettor that looks or
longs for this vineyard of Naboth-snce the
reason is so very apparent for which iii sought.
1t is rumored also, that Spain is fttiug up large
armament, with all the force her distracted home
affairs will allow, for the defence of her ancient
colony and in case she is not be able to drive
off the Anglo Saxon Robbers, another rumor
says, the authorities have determined on liberia
ting every black or yellow skin that goes by the
name Of slave, who, in fighting for Spain, will be
fighting for their own liberties, and the happi-
ness Of their unborn and uncounted posterity.-
In such contest, it is not doubtful who should
succeed, the enslaver, or him who fights for life,
for Liberty, and all. God speed the Right.
Since writing the above, news has come that
Lopez has invaded the Island, and captured the
village Of Cardinas
Gen. Qultman, it Is said on good authority,
has already given up his commission as Cover
nor, and gone to Cuba to take charge of the in
vadlng forcSs-Lopez being used as sort of
ice-breaker; being Cuban, it was supposed
that native recruits would flock to has standard
IN greater numbers than would be induced to
follow the lead of a Foreigner.
