WASHINGTON, SATURDAY. evening. Sent 6

AsHiNGToN, saturday evening, Sept. 8. .
The accounts just received from New York
by the Empire City, confirm to us the intelli
gence by the Cherokee The fate of Lopez and
his party will not, of ITSELF deter Others from
engaging in similar expeditions. But the fact
now so well ascertaned, that there is no dspo-
sIton on the part of the Creole population to
engage in revolution, will certainly have the
effect to prevent another INVASION in the name
OF patriotism. The government as learn, is
under no apprehension that another expedition
VIII be got up. But this evening, we have an
account from New Orleans that the Pampero has
undoubtedly taken number of troops from
Florida and landed them somewhere in Cuba.
Several Spanish gentlemen now in this city
say That the Lopez plot, and the names of those
engaged in it, both Cubans and Americans, were
well known to the captain general of Cuba, be-
fore the Pampero sailed, and he was well pre-
pared and DESTROYS to receive the invaders
From other sources we know that Lopez was
invited and encouraged by Creole leaders and
spanish officers to come with only small force
and was promised aid and support. Those who
bought the past revolutionary scrip were de.
celved into the belief that such assistance would
be afforded, Lopez was advised by his friends
In Cuba to land where he did-for it was a
point TO which troops could be sent by steam
boats, In two hours, and also by land The
captain-general evidently knew where Lopez
was to land; and this had been disclosed To him
by the friends of Lopez. On the whole, it is
quite evident that Lopez fell into snare laid
for him by his compatriots.
Lopez was native Of Venezuela, where he
became guerrilla chief. He went to Spain and
took part for Queen Christina, and was the
hottest royalist in her service. Subsequently
ne came to Cuba, married there, but quarreea
with the government, and came to this country
to promote revolution in Cuba

/ JUDGE OF THE u. s. SUPREME CouRr.--JD
consequence of the death of Judge Woodbury.,
there is vacancy on the bench of the Supreme
Court, to be filled by President Fillmore, bv
and with The advice and consent of the Senate.
The associ to justice to be appointed for this
vacancy, will, OF course, be Wing, but we have
not as yet heard any one named as the most
likely to receive the honor. If the choice could
properly be made from this State, we presume
the Hon. John G. Spencer would be named by
his friend, the President; particularly as he was
foolishly rejected by the Wings of the Senate.
when he nominated by John Tyler. That
President, therefore, named Judge Nelson, of this
State, who WAS confirmed, so that now New
York has claims for Judge to fill the present
vacancy. Judge Woodbury. was one of the two
Judges appointed by President Polk the other
was Judge Grier
AS the appointment belongs to a New Eng
land man, we have thought it probable that the
President might offer it to Hon. Robert c. Win
throp, the late Speaker of the House of Repre-
scniatives, or, If declined by him, to Hon Rufus
Choate, or Hon George Ashmun; all three be-
ing eminent lawyers of Massachusetts.
Judge Mclean, of Ohio, is the only Wing ON
the present bench of the Supreme Court; and
he was appointed by Gen. Jackson, in 1929.
The other judges are--Wayne, of Georgia, APP

postman accordingly. The traveller was man
