The Cuban Expedition a Reality.

Correspondence of The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Monday, April IA.
llearn from private letters from Alabama,
addressed to a gentleman in this city, that
the Cuban Expedition, of which there has
been Sc many rumors, is assuming ONE
thing of a formidable shape. Quite a large
number, mostly young men Of a reckless
stamp, ready for anything, from storming
h down to robbing a hen roost," are en-
listed in the enterprise. They are encour-
aged, it is believed, by older men who en-
Joy high social positions, and who arc look
ed up to for better things. 1t is supposed
to be the intention of the marauders to en-
bark at Mobile, Their place of rendezv-
Gus is not known, but it is supposed to be
in some environ near the Gulf coast.
1t seems to be the impression that they
are well furnished with arms and money.
The Government, it is proper to say, has
taken immediate steps III the matter, and
every endeavor will be made to arrest all
the parties concerned. Orders are already
far on their way to the commandments of
naval forces to be on the alert. There is not
much danger, however, as the Cubans are
armed to the teeth, and fully prepared for
any force which is likely to leave our shores.
The recent visit of Mr.. Clay taken in this
connection is, to say the least, a little awk.
