Havana, Aug %, 1851.
Monday morning, Sept ], 1851.
Gen. Narciso Lopez was publicly garroted AT
the Punta this morning at seven O'Clock All
Havana was in attendance. He made short
speech to the people, stating that he had been
deceived by the Creoles Of Cuba, that he me mt
well in all that he had done, surprising that the
Cabanos desired change Of Government.
Thus has ended the career of Lopez. IT he
had had four thousand men such as he brought
a sample of, he would now have been raised to
the pinnacle of fame, instead of sitting llieless
corpse in the felon chair for hours, to be gazed
at by thu lazaroni of Havana. Why, General
Emma received his death wound while pricking
his troops to face the music made by his
small squad at Pozas then what would have
been the result if he had had thousands instead
of hundreds Every hound in Cuba would
have this day been yelpns his praise, instead
of rejoicing, as at present, in his ignomin'ous
| fate. Yours, MARINrs
HAVANA, August &c
| To-day the Habanero came Up from Bahia
| Honda, bringing up two more Of the Lopez
| party Their names have never heard, there
fore cannot inform who they are. They were
found walking the beach, two large fine
looking fellows, nearly naked, and barefoot,
their feet so badly bruised and cut up by the
rocks and thorns that they could scarcely stand
A Spaniard happened to pass at the time, also
| in the distance at sea they saw a steamer. They
asked the Spaniard if that was an American
steamer he answered yes 1; if they wished to
get on her, he would have them put on, as she
was coming to that place. When the boat ar
rived, they were delivered into the hands of
those they wished to escape from they asked
for some thing to eat, and then they might shoot
them or do what they pleased, a they had had
nothing to eat for four days Pbe probability
is that they viii not be shot, as they will come
under the arrangements of' mercy allowed to
those who surrender within the said four days,
&c.
There is a report in town to-day that another
steamer has been sunk at sea, loaded with pi,
rates, off Matanzas, as heavy guns were heard
| yesterday off at sea.
HAVANA, Aug. 81, Pm.
! Inc IIabanero arrived with few more of
the poor fellows Of the Lopez party. Every day
| brings more and more to their final rum, which

against them. The following are their names

| Nj. Guerra, &. Mackiney, d. Seay, l.. Sujllolet,
| J. ID. Baker. and l.. Binder.
| The destination of these nine Lave not yet
ascertaned but should judge by the names that
| they were nearly all of this country. These
were taken previous to the four days specified
in the Captlin- Generals proclamation, but l
hear they will not be shot, but sent to Spain for
ten years, to work the streets, &c.
| To-day find that the firing at the
s)s H., az

was an American smuggler taken near the
