HAVANA, July 20, ls5l.-The revolutionary cause
OF the insurgents are daily increasing IN numbers
from all sections of the country that AT the last
accounts, they said to have numbered one thou
sand men, all badly armed and proylsOned but res
olutely determined to defend the cause IN which
they are engaged, at every risk and to the last eN-
tremlty. This revolutionary army-or band OF patri-
ots-have two banners, one white one, bearing the
words EJercito Llbertrader" tReglment of Llbera-
tors) tie other is the same as that which Gen Lo
peZ unfurled at Cardenas.
Ip to the present time there has been only one
serious encounter with the troops OF the government
THIS engagement was with a body of 300 men sent
from Havana IN steamboat, as a reinforcement to
the garrison at Nuevltas, under the comm IND OF
Brgadier General Cont The patriots observing
then approach from their lookout on the mountain
hastened TO the landing and attacked them lmme1l-
atey their Decentralization. After short Sklrmsh
in which several were killed and wounded on both
SIDES. nine of the Spanish ofhcers including the COM
mander of the detachment, Gen. Cont, were taken
prisoners by the patriots the balance of the patty
effected their escape precipltately IN the steamer
which brought them.
After this brilliant little affair. so creditabe and
encouraging TO the patriots they retired othe noun
tains belonging to the range of Cubas which lie be-
tween Puerto Principe and Nuevltas where they can
direct communication with the northern coast. from
which direction they expect to receive reinforce
ments, arms and ammunition. the latter of which they
are greatly IN need of.
In the first encounter with the patriots-the one
near Carcouo-the Government troops succeeded IN
cutting of few prisoners, among them man by the
name of AguerO, whom they thre itened TO shoot
Leaning this, the patriots in the mountains of Gu
baS notified the Government officers, that IN case OF
the execution of their comrade they would at once
retalate by putting to death the nine officers whom
they had made prisoners at Nuevita.
There Is not, al present, any sign OF revolution or
much excitement at Trinidad or ~ Jago de Cuba.
But at Matanzas there is much excitement, and the
apprehensIons of the Government party are greatly
increased BY the fact that the CaaaLS have joined
the Creoles The knowledge Of this fact has in
duced the Government 10 send large reinforcementS
TO the garrison at that place
The Government has also sent 1900 troops from
Havana to Puerto Principe the news OF the affair at
NeuytaS having greatly excited the fears of the Cap
tam General for the safety of that portion of the
Island.
In Havana some of the papers have been suspend
cd as is SaId by order of the Government. Many of
the Spanish families disposlng of their property
and retiring to Spain.
The Government, whose chief aim is TO prevent the
arrival of renforcementS from any quarter 10 the pa
rlois holds all Its naval forces IN readiness TO guard
the coast, employing the steamboats, and merchant
sailing vessels for the transportation OF It's troops 10
the revolutionary districts
u.vANA july 90 Is5l-The Government has pub
shed that every symptom OF insurrectlon has been
Qmeted The object of this is 10 intimdate the peo-
pie, and induce them 10 forego any measures of re-
sisiance they may have contemplated The repre-
Senailons of the Government are all false. Not
withSandlng the means II has employed 10 suppress
the truth and intercept all correspondence, we have
found means 10 ascertain the facts. We learn from
correspondent at COrroscO, that the insurgents
are possession of four towns, the names Of which
are Las Tunas. Sevannleu, Carcorra. and Ell Brazo.
These four towns are within circumference OF
twenty three leagues, over which the glorious en-
blem Of CubaS future destiny the white star, Is now
waving.
our force is rapidly augmenting in one day It's
numbers were increased from 900 10 1890 men
The mountain where the patriots are posted Is 80
inaccessible. IN consequence OF the btdness Of the
roads that there Is no possibility OF the Government
troops reaching them in any considerable numbers.

no accounts from the revoted districts by mail, out

La ConCha and his friends are very much dsheart-
ened so much so that the Editor of FL Diaro de Ia
Marina, the Government paper, has become perfectly
desperate IN his efforts TO ind out the means OF COM
municaton between the rebels and their friends here.
Many of the wives Of the insurgents have joined
their husbands IN the rebel camp, ready to aid them
IN their conflicts with the troops
From the Charleston Courier.
We are indebted to gentleman who has resided
for some time IN Cuba for the following items, which
certainly coincide with the intelligence we have
been receiving for some days past There had been,
as is not denied as far accounts inform MS,
rising of the Creole population al and near Puerto
Principe, San Juan, &C. which had been joined by
part of the Spanish troops IN the neighborhood. II

The regiment OF Leon. stationed al or near Matan-
zaS, had become so 1nsuoordlnate that the oihcers
had advised the Government that the men could not
be depended on, and the regiment had 10 be removed
TO some other part OF the ISLAND. The authorities
have stopped all sealed communications between
different parts OF the island since the 10Th inst and
all COMMUNICATIONS have TO go through the mails
open, unless written by some ofhclal.
Views and feelings are now expressed in Havana
