THE LANDING OF LoPEz-OFFICERs OF THE
ExPEDITION.-Key Hest, Aug. 1.-THE steamer
Pampero, Capt Lewis, with Gen. Narcisco Lo-
PEE, and four hundred and fifty followers, came
through the North West Pass, and anchored off
our lighthouse on Sunday last at 5 p. NJ. She
communicated with the shore and left again at
10 p. NJ. 1t is understood that the Hungarian
General Pragay, with several other distinguished
foreign officers, on board, with Coils. Chase,
Crittenden, Downer, and many other American
gentlemen of standing and character. The
night was perfectly calm, and the moon shone
brightly when she left her anchorage for the
shores of Cuba, and all hands appeared to be
in glorious spirits and gave three hearty cheers
On Thursday last, the Pampero returned, re
mained few minutes in the harbor, and left
again for parts unknown it is supposed, for
another party of filibusteros. 1t IS understood
that she took pilot out of Spanish vessel off
Havana, and landed her people at ten o'clock,
P. NJ, Tuesday last, about twelve miles
eastward of Bahia Honda, where they were i'm
mediately joined by the people of the surround
ing country. The Pampero left at seven o'clock
on the next morning, and Lopez was to march
at ten o'clock against the nearest military post.
A company of volunteers for Cuba, armed and
equipped efficiently, left here privately within
the last few days.
This expedition seems to have been planned
with good deal of skill; and there appears to
be determination, among those engaged in it,
to sink or swim, survive or perish, in the cause.
The following are the names of most of the
leading men who are supposed to have landed
at Cubanos from the Pampero:
Gen. Narcisco Lopez, the leader of the expedi-
ton
Col J. Pragay, late of the Hungarian army,
formerly Adjutaut General to General Klapka,
and second in command at Comorn, when that
place capitulated. He goes second in command
TO Gen. Lopez.
Col Crittenden, late of the L. S. Army and
nephew of the Attorney General of the United
States. He has the immediate command of the
artillery.
Colonel Dollman, of Georgia, who served
through the Mexican war.
Colonel Chase.
Major J. A. Kelly, who served in the Florida
and Mexican war, and was once a leading whg
editor in Louisiana.
Captain W. Scott Haynes.
Captain \. J. Daley.
Captain Ellis, late of the Hungarian Army
Captain Victor Kerr, late of the Hungarian
Army. T. Herald
SPANISH Troops KILLEp-A BATTLE AND Cap
rURE OF INvADERs-THEIR EXECUTIoN.-Ha-
sana, August 16, 10 A. M.-Intelligence reached
Havana, last week, that four hundred picked
men had been sent out into the mountains of
Coscoro by General Lemery, who was made to
believe that very small number of the insur-
gents remained and could be easily captured.-I
The result was, that the troops were led into
ambush, when large force of the patriots, un-
ler Don Augustin Aguero Aguero, rushed upon
them, and killed some fifty on the spot The
rest of the Spaniards retreated to Principe, as
well they could, in the greatest disorder.
Scarcely had the government recovered from
this shock, when their attention was called to
the still more serious fact, that a large number
of sympathisers, under Gen. Lopez had effected
q landing at Playitas, few miles to the west
ward of Bahia Honda, which took place at A
NJ, on the 18th inst Lopez is decidedly brave
almost to rashness 1t is positive
y believed here, and believe it to be true
that the steamer signalled from the Moro Castle.
on the evening of the 18th, was the same which
conveyed General Lopez and his friends TO these
