Exciting Rumor from CuIa-hs EE.ct--MiEiary EEpedi-
tioa in Te1as, &c.
The greatest excitement prevailed in our city yester
Day account Of which was generally circu-
lated and believed by many the efec. that tele-
graphic despatch bad been received here from Charleston
stating that had been received from Havana Of the
breaking out Of revolution, and that the Spanish
troops had nearly all turned to the Of the
iberstorr The subject discussed the Of
principal streets and in public bar rooms and it
seemed to be the universal opinion that if any
foundation for the report the consequences would
tany result in the creoles shaking off forever the OPP
pressive shackes Of tyrannical Spain Those who had
previously condemned the OF the Filbusteros,
expressed the opinion that citizens chose to
AID people actually struggling for their liberty they
there nothing in the laws of country TO pre-
vent It. The OF citizens who went to the
Texas and that OF General Lafayette who
aid though at the time prohibited by his govern
ment, and who had actually to take the disguise OF
poston to prevent his arrest cited to sustain this
position The letter Of Daniel Webster to Wa,dy
Thompson Minister to Mexico in reply to the letter
OF Bocanegra also brought to bear, in which he
stated there nothing in the laws constitution Of
the United States 10 prevent any citizen from expatr
ating himself or leaving the country armed and that if
one had the right 80 to leave ten thousand could not
be prevented During the evening the agitation became
intense, and it generally conceded that if the Gu
bans should supphcate help, fifteen thousand
to rush to their support
This morning, however the papers dumb to the
rumor, which being traced up found TO have pro-
decided from letter received by the brig Adam Grey
which arrived here yesterday from Havana stating that
had not the expedition failed, there not doubt but
that the majority Of the government troops would have
turned over TO the OF liberty The letter badly
translated by Spanish gentleman who received IT, to
friend Of his and thus the mistake occurred There is
not doubt, however, but that strong feeling of sym
pathy Is wide spread Throughout the Union the

all its horrors and that the gGota Is daily made use OF
TO do its work Of death the victims

root to the germ of freedom that has been planted her
so ana quicken its maturity 1t Is in vain go
to disguise the fact that the Cuba
daily growing more popular, and should not be sur

cause OF issue at the next Presidential election.
