Meas York, August 2l.-The Steamship
Winfield Scott arrived here this morning, in
fre DAYS, twenty-five hours and thirty mi
nntes from New Orleans, the quickest pas
sage on record.
The Winfield Scott brings intelligence
from Key West to August 18th, and we have
by this rout the very latest news from Cuba.
1t is announced that General Lopez, with
party of four hundred and fifty men, and
| bark of artillery and other munitions of war,
had succeeded in making safe and success
fnl landing at Cabanos, forty miles west of
Havana.
The steamer Pampero which took the in
vading party from New Orleans to Cubanos,
had returned to Key West, whence she had
proceeded to Jacksonville, Florida, where she
was to take on board general Gonzales and a
reinforcement, who would,immediately pro-
ceed to join the expedition under Lopez.
On the 10Th inst, (two days afterwards,)
as we are informed, the Pampero returned to
Key West, but weighed anchor again, in an
hour, in order to prevent seizure by the Uni
ted States government authorities, there.
The portion of the Expedition, which sailed
from New Orleans, on board the Pampero,
were landed at Cubanos, a small port on the
Coast, only forty miles West of Havanal
Later EroE1 Havana.

The wherea bouts Of that mysterious steam
er. the Pampero, has at last been determined.
Gen. Lopez, with 4J0 men, as we learn by
the advices received yesterday, was landed
on the Cuban coast, forty miles west of Ha-
vana, on the night Of the 10th inst. The
place of landing was selected, no doubt, on
account of its proximity to the Florida coasts
and in order to avoid the Spanish cruisers
who are waiting for the Palnpero's advent in
the neghhorhood of Cardenas and Neuvitas
The Fillibusters are at last on Cuban soil, be-
yond the chance of backing out; for, before
their steamer can return with fresh load of
recruits, the Government troops viii be on
their track, and the coast will be lined with
Spanish war-steamers.
If, as we suppose, this should be the con-
Of the landing. and an inglorious
like that of Cardenas, be thereby
the strength and character of the
Revolutionary party in Cuba will be severe |
ly tested. Gen. Lopez is looked upon by |
the different insurrectonary juntas as the
leader of the movement, and if his presence
in their midst, strengthened by several hun
dred Americans Of undoubted bravery, can
not at least call into action force sufficient |
to inaugurate the Revolution, (Which has
never fdirly commenced,) his adherents will I
probably give it up as bad job The Cuban /
patriots finally have a chance of proving the |
integrity of their professions for to falter and
hesitate now, would be to lose all claim to re-
spect and sympathy. If they make no res
poase to this movement, there can be no pre-
text for getting up another such expedition !
but the open ayowal Of the design which is /
now at the bottom of it-Annexaton and Sla-
very Extension.
7. S.-Snce the above was in type, the .
Cherokee has arrived, bringing the following
most exciting intelligence, which we extract .
from the Tribune. The men who were
executed were most probably in the act of a
bandoning the expedition; but whether or not,
he fact OF their capture and execution makes
the situation of Lopez more critical, and tries,
still more keenly and closely, the sincerity of
bis party:
