New ORLEANS, Sept. 5, A. NJ.
As we PROMISED, We send YOU further
details from Cuba. Our city is excited
10 The highest, and struck with consier-
nation al the result of the news from
Cuba. We have not been able TO get
full and complete details a. present.
The steamer Cherokee arrived day
before yesterday, and brought the excl
Ting and startling news of the complete
suspension of the Cuban war.
The passengers of the Cherokee wit
messed the execution of General Lopez,
and their reports are filled with interest
Of The news from tina, quarter.
We learn that General Lopez died
ElaEly, aud as a true hero. His soul
was fixed for the freedom of Cuba. and
was doubtless misled by the representa-.
tons Of Cubans prior to the invasion.
The failure of the expedition is attrib-
uled mostly TO the delay and separation
Of Cri,,enden's command from the main
army.
The destruction of Crit,enden's force
seems TO have been The most fatal TO Lo-
peg in weakening his army and dlshear-
iening his men, besides numerous other
Disadvantages occasioned by The misiOr-
tune.
Several engagements took place be-
tween the army OF invasion and Cubans,
and he loss sustained on both sides was
heavy. We have not been able TO as.
certain the loss by The Spaniards, as that
fact vac cautiously concealed by the
Cuban authorities, bu, The best opinion
seem to place the number far exceeding
the loss by General Lopez.
After the most desperate Efforts ~
succeed over The large number of Cutan
forces, the Patriots. except about thirty
men under Gen. Lopez, dispersed in
various directions.
They lefi him alone, and he wandered
about for sometime without "A single
friend until ultimately overiaken by
blood hounds, which had been pu. on his
,rail BY the Spanish soldiery.
He was captured and brought to Ha-
vana, and executed on the 3Clh of Au-
gust. which was Witnessed by many
thousands with the most intense interest.
His las, words were "Adieu dear Cuba. +"
We also learn that General Pragay
was killed a. Pazos, bu. the particulars
have not reached u.
According to the Spanish reports. OF
the number that went to Cuba on the
Pampero. sos have been killed in vari
Gus battles and bye xecution, including
the Critenden disision.
The CubanassrepoF that they have
now, as prisonSfs $40, and their destiny
is not known. Many here presume they
will be silently observation-disclosures il had
been announced before the departure of
the Cherokee, that $50 Of those who
are prisoners are to be sen, TO Africa.
Before The execution OF Gen. Lopez,
he expressed himself, that he had been
promised aid in Cuba, and that it had
TO, been given him.
A meeting was held on board the
Cherokee before her arrival at this port.
Gen. Lane, Of Oregon, presided over
the meeting. Speeches were made, and
II was unanimously
Resolred, LIST. That Mr.. Owen, the
American Consul at Havana, has forfeit
ed every RICH, and title as an American
citizen.
Resolved, I'd. That he has outraged
every sentiment of humanity. and de-
serves the execrati0n of every friend Of
liberty.
Resoiued, Sd. That the President oil
the United States be and is hereby re-
ques,ed to recall Mr.. Owen from the
further execution Of the Office he now
holds.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 5, Pm.
The news from Cuba continues to en-
gage the public with no less interest,"
Many think the war at an end, while
there are others rash enough to engage
further in the hopeless chase.
The greatest solicitude is fel. as to
what will be the fate OF the prisoners,
and many are for the adoption of the
most resolute means to secure their re-
lease from bondage or execution. A
deputation is talked of to send there 10
effect their release, and threaten farther
hostilities, let the consequences be as ia
tai as chances may determine. Others,
more considerate, think the excitement
will cool down in few days and the
Cnban Phantom will disappear forever.
