PEREGRINE,
Telegraphed to Mortimer Turner g. Co.:
SOUTHWEST Pass, May "a, 2, P. H..
The schooner Heroine has arrived, in four
days from Havana.
HAVANA, May %.
On the 10Th inst, at 3 A. M. u steamer ran
into the Bay of Cardenas, aud Gen. Lopez,
with 300 men, landed and took possession o.
the town. He remained there quietly all dav
and left again in the evening on the same
steamer that brought him. lie took off with
him the Governor of the town and others
The news reached here at s P. NJ. and the
greatest excitement ensued, Arms were dis,
Iributed to the citizens, and during the night
troops were moved off. On the 2Ist a rumor
reached here thpt 750 men landed at Trinidad,
The report is not yet confirmed.
AT Cardenos no outrage was committed on
the Inhabitants.
The steamer Pizarro returned from sea and
reported having captured two American YES
sells, taking one hundred prisoners. She star
ted on the same day for Cardenas, and is now
IN pursuit of Lopez.
In reference to the reported capture 100
Americans, the Delta says;
On" Of the rumors Of the Falcon is, that
the Pi2Orro, the Spanish ship-of war, had re-
turned TO Havana, with one hundred Amer.
cans, prisoners, This is quite doubtful. The
PlzarrO was dispatched 10 blOcka de the men
stationed on the island of Mugeres. 1t is by
no means credible or possible that these men
have been taken. Tney would, no DOUBT,
defend themselves to the the last, and The
sPaniards would hardly be guilty of the our
rage OF attacking them on Mexican soil. IfI
they have, we feel assured that the Kertuck-
lans will give a good account OF themselves,
Besides il they have been captured there are
more than one hundred of t~hem,-there must
have been at lenst four hundred on the island.
Nor can We believe that the Pizarlo abandon
ed the blockade OF the island, as long as the
men were there. 1t may be that the men got
away before The Plzarro arrived atyMugeres.
and that the steamer has captured some inno-
cent American vessels bound for Chagres, and
carried the passengers to Havana.
The Delta of Friday expressed fears of the
allure OF the expedition on account of the
allure of the officers to seize and detain some
fishermen who discovered the rendez-
'ous on the island of Mugeres, near the coast
IT Hucatan. The news of the fishermen
caused the sending out of a blockading fleet;
This circumstance, however, would not
ender the defeat of the expedition certain, if
he other vessels belonging to it have not also
cen blockaded, in their attempts 20 join the
on The 'sland. Those vessels which
ad not landed at the last accounts, contain n
orce sufficient to to carry the designs of the
if they can succeed In o%frecting
landing on the island, which we fervcntly l
ope they have done.' f
The Delta of Saturday evening is more con-
dent, We give its speculations in full: q
FROM the telegraphic intelligence by the {
'%aIcon, which crossed the bar at l2 o'clock t
lst night, we learn the gratif ing news that
the great blunder at the island Of Mugo.
Gen. Lopez had succeeded in e%ffecting a q
at Gardens, on the island of Cuba,
300 men. The Information by the tele>
.raPh is not full or complete. nor is the nuns
er OF the landing party correctly given; but !
here is enough to satisfy us that the General

very reason to believe, by the friends VINO t

A telegrnphic report states that after cap 8
