New ORLEANS, Sept. 4th, 9 P. NJ.
The Cherokee has arrived The passen-
gers were Witnesses of Lopez's execution
They say hedied manfully.
The failure of the expedition is attributed
to delay, from the separation of Crittenden' s
command. The patriots had dispersed, only
thirty remaining with Lopez. They left
him and aeith single friend, he wandered
until taken BY blood hounds His last
words were "Adieu, dear Cuba -
Gen. Paraguay had been killed at Pazas.
Spanish accounts say the number in the
Pampero was FIVE hundred and sixty-fve.-
OF these four hundred and thirty-six have
been killed. One hundred are now in pris-
on, who are to be sent to Mellila, Africa
Lopez declared himself deceived with re-
gard to aid in Cuba.
. Ameeting was held ON board the Chero-
keee, at which Gen. Lane, of Oregon presi-
ded. 1t was resolved that Mr. Owen, A
merican CONSUL at Havana, had forfeited
every right to the title of American citizen;
outraged every sentiment of humanity, and
deserved the execration of every friend of
liberty, aud that he should be recalled by
the Government.
But little business was done here to-day,
every feeling absorved in Cuban news.
The collector of this port has been dis
charged for allowing the steamship Pampe-
no to depart with Lopez and his men.

sympathising meeting attempted here
vas al utter failure The meeting IN Balti-
more, last night, Is said to have been large
as to numbers, and enthusiastic in spirit.
The Philadelphia meeting vas very well az
tended; many respectable citizens took part
in it, and their resolutions look to nothing
short Of immediate war with Spain. Many
presses encourage the spirit which IS thus
manifested in Philadelphia. No meetings
have yet been held calling on the President
to support and carry out in good faith the
neutrality principle Of his proclamation Of
25th April There is no ground for any
public demonstration of confidence in the
energy and fidelity Of executive officers to
support illegal expeditions.
The Administration presses will not admit
that there has been any remissness on the
part of executive officers On the other hand
some of the Democratic papers censure the
Administration for resisting and restrain
ing these expeditions against the Cuban Gov
ernment even by q proclamation. Others,
again, admit that the Government should
execute the laws Of 1918, and suppress ille-
gal expeditions, but contend that the law
does not justify the interception of such ex-
petitions on the sea, when three leagues be-
yond our coast. The right of the Cuban
Government to treat these adventures as
pirates, depends upon the fact whether there
exists civil war in Cuba, in which adyen-
turers from other nations may take part.
We are looking with anxiety to see wheth-
er any further expeditions have been fitted
out from Southern ports.

steamer, under the command of the General
of Marines, came out from under the land
and interrupted us She fred four shots

of him, which I refused to do, telling him
also I should upon my arrival at Havana
make official protest concerning the affair

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.

w ASHINGToNy sept. Z.
The President and four members of the
Cabinet are now here, and Ny. CR1rrENDEN
is on his way to this city. The President
held a Cabinet meeting, yesterday, concerning
Cuban affairs. Subsequently to the despatch
of some supplies from NeW-York, for the
Patriots, orders were sent from the Govern
ment to arrest the procedure, and prosecute
those engaged in it. The prosecutions on
account of a similar breach of the law, COM
mitted last spring, are still pending in New
York The New York Mirror, whose editor.
holds Federal Office in that city, says that
the authorities did not interpose to obstruct
the fitting out of vessels from that point with
supplies for the revolutionists.
The Government has no information as to
the state Of the Cuban affair that we have
not in the papers. Whether Lopez and his
entire force are destroyed, orswhether he has
rallied some of the Cubans around him, is
still uncertain. The expedition of Lopez was
founded on the assumption that the Creole
population were ready to rise in arms againsf
the Government, and that the Spanishsoldiert
were disafected, and would join the sinsur
gents If this has turned OUT very different
ly, then the enterprise is atpresent at an end
and there can be noobjectin sending supple
and small numbers of auxiliaries to the in
lsufgents.
The Cuban Junta in New York, consist
ing of several Spaniatds and a few American
appear to have funds at their disposal, AM
are enthusiastically devoted to the cause. I
would seem that, from New-York and tht
South, some troops have been sent to tht
eastern partof Cuba to support the maneuyel
and make division in favor of Lopez.
The English papers, received by the asia
contain comments on the Cuba instruction.
The London Morning Chronicle, abiding to
the aid that the revolt will have from the
| United States, says with the best in
ltentions, the Executive of the United States
] is miserably weak, aud public opinion in the
UNITED States is mere likely toexhibit itseli
ion the side Of those who seek to extend the
power and dominion of the Republic than
Ito support the Government in It's endeaYors
to fulfil vigorously its obligations towards
foreign countries.
It is rumored here, that the United States
mail packets which go to and from the points
/ in the Gulf of Mexico have been allowed, II
consequence of the insult to the Falcon, tc
arm themselves as vessels of war. 1t may
be necessary, considering the mails and the
vast treasure in gold they convey. In fine
all these are small symptoms Of the agitation
