Bulletin.
New ORLEANS, Sept G.
The Cuban expedition projects are nov
entirely abandoned, and there are erea
many liberators" in this city without the
means of returning to their homes. They
demanded money of the Cuban Committee
when some disturbance arose and arrest.
were made, butnothing serious has occurred
thus far. The Police are out in force il
case of any outbreak.
PRESIDENT FILLMORE has made an ex.
ample of one public functionary, in this
Cuban matter; probably, only "the begin.
ming of the end" He has dismissed the
Collector at New Orleans for neglect of
duty, IN permitting the Lopez exp, dton
to leave that port. Stringent orders have
been re-issued to the L. S officers at the
various ports to frustrate all new expedi-
tions against Cuba, and our vessels of war
in the Gulf are directed to be on the alert.
1t is next to useless vigilance now, since
the recent events have shown how little
Cubans are themselves interested in their
own liberation, and how determinedly the
Spanish Government preserves its rights.

THE LATE GENERAL LOPEZ.
Narciso Lopez, who has lost his life ig-
ANONYMOUSLY at Havana, was born of
wealthy parents III Venezuela, in 1896.
He was the only son of his parents that
grew to manhood, though he had num-
Der OF sisters. His father had CONNER
clal house IN Caracas, branch of which at
Valencia, IN the interior, was placed under
the charge of Narciso at an early age Du-
ring the troubles Of 1914, young Lopez 81
ded with the popular party, but afetward
in the Spanish army, when for
tune turned in its favor, and at the end of
the civil war he was made Colonel when
only twenty-three years Of age,
After the Spanish army evacuated Ven
ezuela, Lopez went to Cuba, where he re-
ulained ana Established himself III lite,
soon making himself conspicuous by his
advocacy of liberal principles. During the
first Carist troubles he CHANGED to be in
Madrid on private business. Having joined
thc royallst party he was made aid-de-camp
20 the comlnander-in-ch chief, Gen. Valdez,
md received several military decorations.
He WAS honored with several impOr'an of
ices by the Queen, and finally was made
Governor OF Madrid. Afterwards, as Sen
itUr from Seville, Ge is SAID to have made
he condition of Cuba his especial study,
nd the expulsion of the Cuban deputies
rom the torjcs induced him to resign his
iA.a- and return 10 the Island. There he
,cld s~HeraA posts under the Captain Gen-
TAI Valdez. Finally he undertook the
.c-w orkmg OF an abandoned copper mine
n the Central Department, where he is
aid to have employed his time in instilling
Ibcral principles into the minds of the /
'opulace.
In 1919, when he thought everything
vas ripe for revolution, he came to the
United States and got up the immature
nd worse than useless attempt at an inya-
icD, known as the Round Island Expedi-
ion. In May, 1850, the famous invasion
nd sudden evacuation of Cardenas took
ook place. In August, 1851, he again
anded in Cuba at Bahia Honda His fol-
overs were speedily destroyed or captured,
nd he himself, a fugitive among the noun
AIMS, was taken on the 9th of August.
IN the lst Of September, 1851, he suffered
he ignominious death of the earotte, a,
iavana. These are the principal events
life, remarkable for its inconsistencies.
-opez 5 integrity as patriot has been often
uestloneA but we are not disposed to dis
uss 1t now. He is said to have died brave
y, and We are willing to refer his errors
ather to his head than his heart.
