FROM NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF THE
FORT SAN HILARiOS.

San hiLAhtoN'
For the following rich and amusing account
of the surprise of Spanish fort in Cuba we
are indebted to Mr. O. Foster, passenger in
the brig Russia, arrived few days since
from Nuevitas.
Mr. Foster informs US that on the night of
the I'd May the fortress of San llarion was
the scene OF most laughable commotion, in
consequence of the supposed landing of the
long-looked for eXpedtionary forces.
Nueytas, like New York, lies at the head
of fine bay, the entrance to which is
through a very narrow creek, twenty miles
below the city. On one side of this creek,
al the most narrow point, is situated the low
fortress of San Hilarioa. The ground around
is very low and marshy. About two o'clock
on the morning of the ID the garrison were
suddenly summoned to arms by an alarm
from the senlines that an enemy was ap-
preaching.
The most indescribable confusion ensued,
but before long the men huddled on 10 the
ramparts TO await the attack, the cannons be.
ing already loaded. The buges of the ene-
my could now be heard, and the clicks of
their musket locks and an occasional dis.
charge, as they arranged their flints previous
to the fight The dim outline of a huge ship
was now discovered, Now the order was
given for good aim 10 be taken, and the bat
teries to be opened upon the vessel but be-
fore the soldiers had time to fire, the enemy
were discovered approaching in large open
boats, the first Of which was already within
a yard of the shore. not fifty feet from the
cannons' mouths.
The surprise was complete. Panic strick-

During the night of the 18th it came on to

MUSICAL.

On Monday evening our citizens had the
pleasure of listening TO the peculiar and
exquisite music OF Mr.. James II. Sharp,
whose extraordinary powers we noticed a
few weeks since. a young man of limited
advantages, he has never cultivated his mu-
scal talents. The few simple air he breathes,
are sufficient to show that he possess a sin
gular organization of the larynX and lungs.
The music resembles the tones of power
ful musical box, accompanied by the diapa-
son of an organ. These two sounds are
perfectly distinct and are produced with no
other effort than a full initiation of the lungs.
Mn. DYER, the blind vocalist, gave a
charming concert on "Wednesday evening
His voice is clear, rich and musical, and
his execution chaSte and iautIess. A more
delicate appreciation OF harmony and a
deeper feeling of its power seem to have
been given by nature to those whom she
has shut out from the enjoyment of her
beauties. There is an expression in their
music which goes at once to the heart.

WASHINGTON. Nav %. 1850.

The Cuba news by telegraph was read at
the Presidents reception last night and
created a sensation. The President had
been giving his views against the boundary
claimed by Texas but immediately changed
the topic to Cuba, and appeared 10 be taken
by surprise with the news.
There was a cabinet meeting to-day.
II is expected that a proclamation will
shortly appear. We understand that sir
Henry Bnlwer has had a conference with Mr..
Secretary Clayton, in which ii is stated that
there is secret treaty between Spain ana
England, which will require the latter to in
teriere, even ii the island is liberated. 1t is
apprehended that this will lead TO a blockade
of the whole coast by England, and that
some chance collision with the American
flag will end in a war
1t is supposed that this business will hurry
on the compromise of the North, while the
South will go for delay.

cal business of the colony, such as roads,
