 Jane 10, 1850. JAMES LAWSON. AMERICAN PRISONERS AT HAVANA.
 l. will be seen. from the full report which we give of the Invading Expedition, that when ii was about setting sail for Cuba, permission was given these who were sick or dissatisfied to return tO the United States in the vessels ''Georgians and "Sa- san Lord." IL is said that hundred thus emba rksd homewsrd, without having further entered into the adventure, and while on board these vessels were captured by the Spanish war steamer Pizarro. and taken into Havana. l; has already been reported that these men were taken out and shot under the order of the Captain Gene ral. There wers also live msn of the Lopez exPe- dtiOu, who were woanded al Cardsnas, and left there whom it is sad wers also executed. Mer. cess and btoo4-thirs,y as the Spahiards have ever been towards their prisoners, cannot believe for a moment that they have committed So atrocions an outrage as this Fram one end of the Union to the other, the cry would be for revenge, and Gen. Taylor, with all his forces, could not control or check the whirlwind of indignation, or the speedy and total sabjugation of the Island. Thousands of aearts supiue and indifferent as to Lopez, would hap with anger al tho consunmaton of such tngedy, and thsre would be msu enough banded tossther in mOnth to ayengs their murdered coun ,ryaen and crush the im5eciie powers of Spain The massacre of the Alamo, the slaughter ef Fan Aiag's men after they had surrendered on capitu- laioa, Sd not arouse more feeling than will, the buteheEy of thess American prisoners in Cuba-- To thess instances Of savage srociy did Texas owe her inlsp.ndence, and their repetition will secure tine freedom of the IslaEd,ssAad we say again that should the Spaaiard proceed to such extremities and put ih.ss prisoners to death no proclamation of ;hs Presid.at, Illegal orders to commanders of squsdrous to ;reyeH. the enbarea,ion of Americans upou the eoas oI Cuba will avail to hinder an in vas.on to def-aI il, to suppress the universal burst Of icy wkh which its success would be hailed ghout th, Union.
 What wiiI-Generai Taylor do in the mean time lie has cons;dGed them especially uader his pro- teclion and has asserted ,haisyea t!ss nigh seas. they were not rom un Ter his control. Ii they are in the duugsors Of the Moro. we presume hs wilt still maintain right of the United States to try them, and al once demand them, but if they are executed we ssgposs i, will be all right; he had doue everything to obsiruct aud cripple the expedi ton and dogged i; ffem it's very formation But d. though we have disposition 10 condemn hm in advance, we cannot but think the hand that was SC ready to aid the Spaai4rd, will be reluctantly eK- tended 10 save ihe invader We shall wait with aaXisty to hear whI is done with these unfortunate men, strongly imprtsse3 with the b-iiei, however, that the government of Cuba wil. not venture upon such rashness and violence.
 The following orers the Delta extracts from

 ART III. All indi'ijuals who ara apprehead-d as 5eloaging to the i1vaers, shall be immediately shot
 Asr Aihougs there is scarcely probability that the inhabitants Of the country can belong ,o these hor'les of robbrs, far forgetting their cred duties to thsr queen, country and family However, should th,re be any, they will incur the same penalty of deael which awaits the rash inya- de-s.
 ARr. V. All persons serving ss spies, or furnish ing the nV'ders w.u mouey, other aid, shall be instantly shot.
