Notwithstanding the many rumors Of ships
having "recelved sailing ORDERS" to intercept
Cuban sympathisers, &c, it nevertheless Q fact,
That up to the present time the government has re-
ceived no intelligence which would warrant the
belief that any armed force has left our shores for
Cuba, and consequently no sailing" orders have
yet been Issued The Plymouth is fitting up for
The East Indies-not for Cuba ss has been reported
But It is nevertheless true that orders have been
despatched to get ready several vessels, that in
Case any attempt should be made to violate
treaty stipulations, the Executive may have the
means Of suppressing it. ! am assured, upon ex-
'relent authority, that nothing has been done
However much may sympathise with the
Cuban', that sympathy cannot allow the Executive

AAtions which exis, between this country and
Spain, and which, indeed, are recognized as
Che law OF nations 1t u.s. therefore the duty OF the
Executive TO prevent any armed bands leaving our
shores for Cuba, so long a. the Spanish authority
Il recognized and maintained there. Rut should
tkhe Cubans themselves succeed ia upsetting that
government, and in making stand against the au-
thorities Of Spain, 1t L. ridiculous to contend that
fhe question would not assume an entirely diff
faren. aspect. rhe rene mbrsnce of Lafsyette

hearts OF every Anerlcan to permit US to adopt -

Sstrously. Nor could In gland weu mplain, if
Cuba, throwing off her Spanish yoke, engaged the
active sympathy of the United states, when her
course In the Bolivar revolution is remembered. Ii,
6herefore, the news of serious aud apparently
successful revolution in Gu should be confirmed
by later accounts, then indeed will the policy which
naS been wisely adopted oy the Executive Of this
country on two former occasions require to be aban
uoned. When, iast year AMI the year before, the
attempts Of parties Ill The United States to proceed
IN hostile manner to Cubs were frustrated, it was
merely crushing what could be vie wed only as pi-
ratical enterprises. The people of Cuba had not
risen against their goverument-and there was no
excuse therefore for the landing Of foreign expe
xition.
II however, il should turn out that the people
really had riseD it will al once call for the sympathy
of all who love feedon, and assistance will rush to
their aid, with force overwhelming and irresist-
Sble.
This is the bright side of the picture. 1t may be
the true one but unfortunately, il is not the prob
able one. The next news from Cuba will either
crush the expectations Of those who look to that
island for the enkinding of that spark Of liberty
which has been apparently crushed under the iron
rule Of spain, or it Will bring glorious confrma-
Sion, which will thrill with delight from end of
our Union TO the other Which will it be
