Summary OF the Latest Intelligence-Tvv0
more Expeditions sailed for Cuba.


By telegraph from New Orleans, we have receiv-
ed intelligence from that city to the 2lst inst,
1t which time, we learn, great excitement existed
among the people, in reference to Cuban affairs.
We further learn, that that day two more steam
ers filed with recruits for the invasion of Cuba,
sailed from that port, in defiance of the United
States Marshal, who, we learn, interfered to pre-
vent their departure The excitement that pre-
vailed in New Orleans we can easily account for.
Intelligence Of the debarkation of Gen. Lopez and
his four hundred and fifty companions the shores
of Cuba, had probably been received at that point
This probably created the excitement Of which we
are advised BY telegraph. AT that time, viz, the
2lst inst intelligence of the summary execution of
the fifty Americans who formed part Of Lopezs frst
expedition had not been received in that city. The
excitement hear of was, therefore, probably
caused by the receipt ofintelgence that Lopez and
his party had eluded the vigilance of all the cruisers
On the Cuban coast, and successfully debarked aud
that the steamer which conveyed them thither had
as successfully returned to Florida for reinforce
nents, and sailed again for the same destination
1t 10 well that we should not overlook the facts Of
the case for if We disregard the few landm arks we
have for basing an opinion upon in this matter, we
shall certainly get befogged, and know not where
We are.
Two stea amers, we are informed, lef. New Orleans
the 2lst nst which, with the return trip of the
Pampero, make three departures of tr pops from the
United States for Cuba. What the fate of the
second expedition that has gone in the Pampe is,
Or what the fate of those expeditions which left
New Orleans on the 2lst inst may be, can, of
course, only be copjectured If Lopez and those of
has expedition who escaped, or proceeded to the
interior, are Joined by the country people, and if
any considerable portion of the Spanish troops
joined the revolutionary and over to the
insurgents, there is good to expect that the
second Pampero expedition not so unfortunate
as the fifty of the first, whose violent death it was
our sad duty to chronicle the day before yesterday
II, on the other hand, however, the remainder o.
Iopez's party have been cut Off If they were not
Joined by the ereoes, and we're overwhelmed by
superior force, the government would, of course,
long before the arrival of the second expedition by
the Pampero, have suppressed the revolution, and
that expedition, therefore, would be at the mercy Of
the Spanish authorities. The two other expedi-
tons which, are informed, have left New Orleans
would be in the same predicament. II is, conse-
quenty, useless for any person to indulge in any
lecture in reference to Cuban matters, at present.
In this aspect. The next arrival from that island
wiz, no doubt, relieve Of all doubts. and render
ecnjectures unnecessary.
The Indignation which the accounts Of the in.
dignities and insults offered to the Americans who
were captured, before and after their execution,
provoked in this city, and, far We learn through
out the whole country, was very natural, and we
think our citizens entitled to a great deal of
credit for being so moderate as they were at the
meeting on Friday evening last, in their expression
Of IL. II these accounts be confirmed by the next
news from Cuba, and If it be pli iced beyond donbt
thst such atrocities as represented have been
committed towards the American captives, the
Spanish government Of Caba will very much regret
the occurrence. In any event, the shedding Of Ame-
rican blood the irifce Of 6ftytwo American citi.
Eens in cold blood, and the spectacle which vas
made of their execution by the Spanish authorities
Of spain the United States, at the
The present time, are Of Great Britain.
IL is not at all unlikely that in the excite ment at
iendant upon this subject, the Spanish authorities
At Havana may overstep the boundaries Of discre-
'ion and prudence, committing some wrong ia their
neal for the maintenance Of their authority,
towards American residents, or those who may |
visit the island without any improper object Pos
sibly even our mail steamers and their passengers
may Jet be subje,ted to in.erfsreaces which may
terminate in serious difficulties. We are surprised
that the government have not, before this, des-
patched to Havana every vessel Of the navy avail
. BILE at the present hour. Under the command Of
Commodore Stewart OF Morris, or other erpe
rienced officers Of high rank, in whom the Ameri.
,an people have full confidence, much good may be
'fected by timely precautiOn. II is grati6c alton
o all parties to learn that il is expected that the
hips Of war; In this port, will be despatched without
elay.
In the meantime, we look with intense interest
or the receipt Of the ne ut intelg gence from Cuba
