In connexion with the subject of the late unfor-
.unats BApvdi.ion, we perceive that some of the
deceivers and betrayers" of the victims intend
harping upon report (no doubt manufactured in
this country that the Captain General had caused
his officers to write letters to Lopez to induce him
10 come |; in other words, that the invasion was
concocted and got up by the Capt ain General -.
Several of the newspapers received by yester-
days mail contained paragraphs similar to the
following
"I is said that the coal-dealer New Orleans who
agreed 70 supply the Pampero with l60 tons of COAL deliver
cd only 80 and that in consequence of this deficient supply
the p her late voyage Cuba instead Of proceeding
Puerto Principe the point Of her original destination was
compelled stop Bahia Honda where there but few
if any dssscted Creoes and where followed the disastrous
and deporable sequel which is known to ALL"
The Journal of Commerce views this as & an
attempt to show that successful invasion is still
practicable, if made in the right quarter" and adds
that deception on this head will be found difficult
in face of the terrific termination Of the late expe-
dition.' And SO we think. That the paragraph
was designed for deception we have abundant evil
dence in what we have heretofore published Of the
intentions and expectations of the invaders from
the columns Of their own special organs. 1t was
only few days before the sailing Of Lopez that
the New Orleans " Delta said:
"The 18th Of this month [Julyl fixed for the rising
the VuekG AbGo, THE MOST DIsAFPKcrED AND wARLIKE
PORTION THE Island"
And on the 21st August the same paper spoke
of the landing of the expedition as follows: s
when we published the news Of the arrival Of the
Pampero yesterday, not well acquainted we
are with Gen Lopezs plan of operations BAHIA HoHDA

Again, on the 27th Of August, (six days sitter the
disaster to Crtienden's party was known in New
Orleans the Delta required to the subject and
disclosed the opinions held in relation to it by the
commanding General and his confidential friends.
1t then spoke in the following terms:
Seen LOPEZ has always expressed unbranded confidence
in the feeling Of discfeion throughout the Vuekd Abo
yeeio Near the entire number Of Creoes amounting to
many hundreds who have suffered confscaton of fortune
and condemnation Of exile, natives Of that section. It
the intention Of the General to proceed thher when he
ordered re-embakmen upon the steamer Creole at Carde
mas and he would have carried such intention into effect had
not the scarcity Of coal and the loss Of the munitions Of war
prevented. The Vuea Absjo the principal tobacco por
ton Of the island and abounds with aborng white sgricuu

have headed every revolution since the earliest dawn Of des

So much testimony have we at hand as to the
appropriateness Of the point Of landing, from the
confidential Cuban organ in the South to which we
add couple of paragraphs from the New York
Sum- like confidential organ Of the Invaders in
the North. The Sun /" said gs
"And now few explanations for the benefit of our
readers the advantages Of the place at which General
Lopez has made his landing Port Cabana have be-

Now, view of these expositions Of the plans and
opinions of the parties themselves and of the un-
qualified commentator of their favorite leader for
having selected what was supposed to be the most
desirable position for striking effective blow to-
wards the accomplishment Of their unlawful enter
prise, does it not exceed belief that any Of them
should pretend that the Pampero had been conn
PEELED TO stop at Bahia Honda on account of I'M
foreseen circumstances, and that TO this cause Is
be attributed the defeat of the expedition Z ~
