Of Bourbon. Aguero Immediately halted, ex
amined the position hecould occupy, and selected
level spot, bordered on the right by pretty
! high hill. He selected fifty men from the corps
and directed them to advance along the read, SC
as to draw the attention Of the enemy and the
rest consisting of $50 men, he placed in ambus
cade at point agreed upon. AS soon as the
commander OF the royalists espied the so patriots
confident in his numerical superiority, he ad
vanced at full speed upon them. They, on theil
side, retreated upon the hill appointed, and there
stood firm, intrepidly awaiting the charge. The
royalsts did not keep them long waiting they
charged upon them, lance in rest. AT that mo-
ment those in ambush presented themselves
and surrounded the lancers, who, attacked on
all sides by the patriots, had to s'iccumb, the
result being, that of the 80 who entered into nc
| tion, only ten escaped with life, though badly
wounded. Glory to the hero Of San Miguel
! Glory to the brave Aguero de Aguero! On the

but the republican ranks have gone on increasing
every hour On the Goth, all the corps united
marched upon these mountains, which march
was interrupted by three companies of the re-

persed. Since the Goth, these brilliant posiions
have been occupied by 1000 patriots, 600 horse,
four field howitzers, and the munitions and sus.
tenance required for two months; notwithstand-
ing which, we are only awaiting the movement
of Trinidad to descend to the plains.
Behold, people of Cuba, the brilliant footing
of your country's lberating army; behold the
heroic acts Of your brethren of Camaguey,

resolution and firmness, and the flag of liberty
shall soon wave from the Point OF Maisi to the
Cape of San Antonio!

The following is copy Of the pronuncia-
mento of the insurgents at Trinidad;
TO THE cUBANs.
The hour has finally arrived which has been
appointed by fate for the freedom of Cuba. This
most precious part Of the native land of the
Ciboney is unjustly and cruelty prosecuted by
the descendants Of the impious murderers of that
innocent people. Puerto Principe has given us
the signal, and shame and dishonor would fall
upon the remainder of the Cuban population,
should they not adhere to the revolutionary
movement which our brothers of that province
have so successfully commenced.
Cubans Five hundred Trinitarians, among
whom are numbered those more favoraby
known in this capital of the central departments,
by their wealth, education, virtue, and patriotism,
rise, to-day, as a single man, to redeem our
country from its opprobrious servitude. Large
numbers of our brave countrymen, who, in skill,
in courage and firmness, are equal to the uncon-
querable AIaneroS of South America, are waiting
for US in our fields, anxious to destroy at once
and forever tA Spanish thraldom which now
disgraces our dear fatherland. t
Cubans, let US hasten to the battle field,
where victory will attend us, and where glory
will crown our brows with its immortal and never
fading laurels. God always stretches his pro-
tecting arm over those who defend the cause of
right and justice. A numerous and strong ex-
pedion, led by illustrous chiefs, is being fitted
out from the shores of the great American con-
federacy, to come to our aid with the utmost
promptitude General Narcsco Lopez, the IA
vorte son of Mars, who, by his glorious deeds,
as well rs by his hatred against tyranny, has
struck the Spanish government with panic fear,
will soon spread terror and amaZement among
our oppressors, driving them from our shores
with his redeening sword. Fellow-countrymen,
let us all join together from the Point of Maisi
to the Cape of San Antonio, and proclaim our
Independence.
Let us conquer our liberty with arms in our
hands. lSlDORO ARMENTiROS,
Colonel in Command.

! TO THE SPANISH ARMY.
Soldiers The moment has come when this
beautiful part of the country which you inhabit
has arisen to break forever the chains which op.
press it. Our brothers of Puerto Principe have
preceded us in the noble enterprise of delivering
the country; and brilliant exploit has begun
TO crown their efforts. The government is in a
desperate situation; il needs aids without
mpathies-without confidence even in you
since many Of your brothers in Puerto Principe
have passed into the files of the patriots. Al
the arrival of the brave Narciso Lopez, your loss
is sure, and you will be defeated. II you fol.
low the party Of the sanguine and corrupted
government that, without any mercy, drew you
from home IN the spring of your age, in order
to send you TO Cuba for depressing your broth.
ers, it will give you the same reward that it con.
ceded to those who sacrificed themselves in lis
defence in all the American continent. If you
escape death almost certain, misery and despair
will be you. reward
As for US, II you come into our ranks TO aid
us to achieve Cuban liberty, we will receive you
like friends--like brothers. We viii treat you
as freemen, and will reward your services with
interest. Every soldier Of you who wants to
come into cur ranks, will receive bou1ty ol
eleven ounces of gold and lot Of land, as soon
as the country, delivered from its tyrants, will
have recovered itS tranquility. During the cam.
paign each one will receive daily five reals.
Soldiers. Make your choice between those
two prospects. In our ranks you will be free
citizens, struggling for the cause Of humanity
and Of progress. In those of the adversary, you
will be treated like beasts, without any regard
for your dignity as men.
II, in spite Of all, you continue to lend your
service to government which keeps you in cp.
preston and degradation-if you are seduced
by its decetful promises, we will encounter you
on the field, without rancor or terror. But, we
await you disposed to pour our last drop Of
blood for The defence Of the holy cause Of indie.
perdence and liberty for Cuba!
