the success OF the former. The desire Of the
Authorities at Havana, 10 represent the whole
affair as trihing does not comport with the
fact that troops have been sent to Nuevetas
and Puerto Principe, which were already
we'll garrisoned.
The Cubans have shown their wisdom in
the choice Of locality. Puerto Principe
is situated 10 the interior Of the island, and
is nearly 500 miles from Havana, and sc
miles from Nuevitas, which is its seaport,
and through which all its foreign trade pass

either hand, will afford ample shelter TO the
revolutioDisls. who may also draw their sup
plies from the rich agricultural region adjoin

The insurrectionaly district is near 300
miles in extent, comprising the very heart Of
the island. The prospect OF The movement
is therefore encouraging 10 the revolutionary
party. The Cu5ans in this city are certain
OF success; end ! see no reason to doubt it,
If the Government should not liberate the
half million OF slaves on the island, and
arm them against their masters.
The Report Of the City Inspector. for the
week ending July 26lh, shows that, during

To the filthy condition Of the streets, in many

as is the case every year.
However, we have arrivals enough to

Saturday, two vessels arrived from England,
