MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
OUR NEW ORLEANS CORRESPONDENCE.
New ORLEANS, August 8, 1851.
Departure of the Panpero oith General Lopez and
500 Falitustoos-Ihe O6fcrs-The Cincinnati.
The great popularity Of the Herald in this part Of
the Union, and the habit your million readers have
Of looking to it for the earliest, fullest, and most
reliatle information on all movement, and subject,
Of public interest, induce me to volunteer to give
you reliable accounts of in this always
important, but at present, unusually interesting
point Of observation. The news of the recent move
ments il Cuba fell upon our inaam nable popula-
tion like bomb shell in q magazine. At this Pc
Iiod of the year, there being no business, and bu.
little to engage the attention OF our stay-at homo
population any new or startling intelligence is q
God send.
The Cuba revolt was an unexpected and most &C.
ceptabe relief to the ennui which for few weeks
wrapped the Crescent City. Ever since the great
est excitement has pervaded our whole popul iton.
General meetings have been held to forward the
cause, which were more numerous and enthusiastic
than any / ever witnessed, during resideace Of
four or five years in this city The feeling in favor
of the Cubans extended to all classes, and rose
perior to all party ties. Wings and democrats,
rich and poor, native and foreigners, all united on
Cuban grounds. The only dissenters are the ol
Spaniards, and few Of the more bgo.ed Citho
lies, who are under the influence Of the Priests.
The latter, il is said, have openly takon tao fell
against movement which may result in the intro.
duction Of Professionalism into the present soundly
Catholic island Of Cuba. Our merchants, especi
ally those engaged in Western trade, are very warm
in fs Vor of the movement, as it will, if successful
recover large portion Of the Western trade which
this city has lost by railroads connecting the Wes
with northern parts. You will perceive that all
the papers of any weight or influence Of both polit
cal parties, warmly espouse the iuse. Nor do our
sympathizcrs confne themselves to mere sympathy
and professions. Substantial aid has been prom pity
raised. There are now at least 1000 stout mon rals
ed only waiting trat spotation to embark their lives
and their all in the struggle Of the Cubans.-
Daily crowds Of young men arrive from the
neighboripg States, all well armed and fully sccou-
tired, eager for the fray. Those gallant young off,
GERS Hawkins and Pickett, of kentucky-the lat
ter good Spanish scholar, who has resided some
time in the West Indies, have two hundred picked
rifemcn Of Kentucky, who will be among the first
to embark in the next expedition. On Sunday last
mt 3 o'clock, A. M, the Pampero, which was built
by Captain Hunter, for the Chagres trade, anl
which has been plying for sometime between this
city and Galveston, left the wharf at Lafayette,
with the advance party under General Lopez They
were all picked men, and included 100 Spaniards
and ICreoles, who have all lived in Cuba. They
are under the commend of young q .eoe, Of Porto
