and to sustain the general adjustment of the slavery
question, as recently adopted by Congress, was
held in that city on the 9th inst. The proceedings
Of the meeting, as published in the Mobile Daily
Advertiser, indicate strong spirit OF enthusiasm
and patriotic ardor. Judge HoPKINs, who presided
on the OCCASION delivered speech which is spoken
of as unusually able and eloquent. Among the
resolutions adopted we quote the following to show
the nationality of sentiment which animated the
large concourse: ate

FROM HAVANA.

Accounts from Havana to the 9Th instan. represent tha,
much excitement exists there account Of rumor Of another
invasion. The soldiers sleep their arms, and the officers
vigiIant and active. The navy war-seamers out
every day. and there is every preparation and readiness to
give the expected invaders warm reception letter sug
gests-
That the true cause, probably, Of the vigilance Of the
regular army and navy has arisen from the proceedings Of
the last few days. The Island has been in state Of siege
since the Lopez expedition. This has been rased and the
militia disbsnded. They called upon to give up the
they had received from the Government and, not i'm

Of the volunteers and took all the they could find This
has enraged Of the old Spanads who volunteered
put down the Lopez party since they find the Govern
ment fears TO enrus them with for it's security and
preservation. AT all events, the political horizon of Cuba
bears gloomy and poenous appearance II may be hoped
that in few days this sad state Of affairs will owhen
the idea Of immediate invasion will explode and the people
find that the report all humbug, got up by some
greedy specuaor who anxious TO buy shipping at reduced
prices"
