ARRIVAL OF STEAMER CHEROKEE

OF STEAMER CHEROKEE.
BY New Orleans papers Of the 9Th, receiv-
ed yesterday, we gather the following and
latest Cuban news. The Evening Picayune
says:
The steamship Cherokee, Capt. Henry
Wind.e, arrived this morning from Havana,
which place she left on the 81 inst, at 3 P.
Nj. She brings therefore eight days. later
news. Though the intelligence By this arri
val is not decisive, it is OF such character as
to encourage the hope and belief that the
cause OF the Patriots is gaining ground. The
vigilance Of the authorities has, az we antc-
ipated, kept US in ignorance OF much which
we might otherwise have learned; but the
ligh. that does reach Us, shows that there
must be good deal Of fire behind.
The letter Of our correspondent in another
column gives the news.
We have before us two or three procla-
nations, or addresses Of the rival parties.
These proclamations we shall publish to-
morrow. The letter alluded to is as follows

long and very many, will pass away ere the
