an officer on board the Independence, touching
the reception and stay of the vessel at Trieste

sour visit to Trieste was very pleasant enc
a. we were the objects of great deal of attention

were the king and queen ofSaxony, the Archduke
John, the Ban of Croatia, Jeachich and his wife,

Tx VIcrlns or THE LOPEZ ExrEDIrIoH.-A
letter received in Washington from Robt. II En-
lis, Z captain in the last expedition Of Lopez
against the Island of Cuba, and who is now a
prisoner at Havana, states that amongst the many
promising young men who have lost their lives in
that unfortunate enterprise are Beverly Waugh,
formerly Of Washington city, and son of MIR.
Gustavus Harrison, of Georgetown.
The National Iaieligsncsr, in publishing the
above. suggests the proprety ofcalling upon those
concerned as chiefs in getting up the expedition
70 publish an authentic list of all the persons who
proceeded to Cuba az members of it. In the case
of at least one Of the young men above named as
having been killed in battle, his parents, as we are
informed, were not aware that he had left New
Orleans. and supposed him to be yet engaged
there in the line Of his business. The parents of
Others who were killed in skirmishes with the
Spanish troops and the peasantry are no doubt
not only ignorant, but unsuspicious of their mis-
fortune.
Ofthe number who embarked in the Pampero
which has been variously stated at from four hum
dred and fifty to Eve hundred, we yet know
positively Of the fate Of less than one half-the
hfty who were executed at Havana, and the hum
dred and fifty who are now prisoners. All the
rest have most probably persisted, and it is due to
their friends and relatives that their melancholy
fate should be made known.
