HAVANA, May o. 1850.
The Cuban revolution has begun and ended. On
the morning of the 9th instant, about A. NJ, the
steamer Creole ran into Cardenas bay and Narcso
Lopez landed with 500 men. He took possession
of the town with little opposition, and issued rev.
oluiionary proclamation. The Governor, with a
few troops, entrenched themselves in his house, TO
which the invaders set FIRE, and he then surren-
dered. During the day the invaders held undis-
turbed possession-no property was destroyed or
taken away. The men paid for all they took.
About evening they began TO re- embark and when
most Of the troops had got on board the steamer,
party of lancers arrived and attacked them. Sew
cal were killed on each side, and at 3 p. NJ, the
steamer sailed, leaving five or six drunken msn on
shore. Lopez took with him the Governor and
two officers, whom he afterward put on board
lives ofthe men left behind should be spared. Col.
White was wounded in the shoulder. The Cover
ner says they were gentlemen, and he could not
have been better treated.

INCIDENTS OF TIE EXPEDITION AND THE ATTACH on

From the Savannah Republican, May 25l
One Of the aids Of Gen. Lopez, Gen. Gonzales,
lays here badly, but supposed not dangerously,
wounded, but not dangerously. Capt. Logan, OF
Kentucky, died of his wounds, and his body was
thrown overheard the day after they left Carde
mas. Among those killed, was an Episcopal parson
from the West, whose name / have not learned.
The Americans receiving no assistance from the
people, and aware that force of ten thousand men
stationed near Cardenas, were on the march 10 at

sea for Key West. The next morning the steamer

the Creole. MIR. Rogers replied that they could
have pilot 10 come into Key Wost but not 10 pur-
sue the Creole. The commander of the Pnsro
thrca'ened TO inform the government OF his refusal
TO furnish him pilot, on which Mr.. Rogers sent
him hrs card, so that there might be no doubt who
ne was. Aiter short time, pilot boarded the
Pizaro from plotting schooner, and brought her
through the ship channel. In the meantime, the
Creole was running down inside the reef, with all
The steam she could mise. She rounded the Light
house point half hour before the Pzarro. What
might have been the consequence had she gotten
plot from Mr.. Rogers, or whether il was her in
tenton, after having crossed The bar and gotten in
our waters, TO have attacked the Creole, and cut
her of from this place, we can't tell; but such is
supposed must have been her design, from the fact
OF her wanting pilot 10 chase, and from the know
ledge which her officers must have had that II was
impossible for vessel Of no great draught 10 go in
