The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, writing on Monday
evening says : "From what can learn
there is some reason to doubt that the ex-
pedition is at an end. Ii is even doubtful
whether Lopez is at Savannah, or gone to
Mobile. 1t is quite possible that there has
been a ruse on the part of Gonzales, who
resembles him, in order to turn the atten.
tion of The Spanish authorities from his real
position. Ga the other hand, even this
may be ruSe TO check any attempt to ar.
rest him, While in suspense, we may be
assured that there are several thousand men
somewhere, and ready to follow in the
course of those who command them"
THENARRow ESCAPE OF GEN. LOPEZ
The Savannah Morning News, says that
the Pizarro got aground, or she would have
undoubtedly captured the Creole. As 1t
was, she reached the wharf few moments
after the Creole.--The Spanish officers
offered reward of $l50,00U for the de.
livery Of Gen. Lopez. and held consultation
in reference to the propriety ofboarding the
Creole in the harbor of Key West. She
also threwup her ports and prepared to fire
into her, but was prevented by one of our
national vessels, which placed herself in
line with the Creole and hoisted the Amer.
ican coIors.
The Creole was seized by the officers of
the United States government on her ur.
rival ut Key West, and Gen. Lopez, after
giving 10 the officers and men of his party
all the money in his possession, took pas.
sage with his staff and several Of the
American officers in the Isabel.
