BY the arrival of the brig Argus at chariesto ni
from siassnzss, which place she left on the 18th
ut. the Afre-sy has been put in possession Of the
following iatelligsnce:
About three hundred Of the Lopez expedition
had been captured up to that time, nearly all Of
whom had been executed Thirteen prisoners had
been shot board OF the steam frigate Pizarro.
The authorities Of the island had made such ar
rangenaents would probably ensure the capture
OF the entire expedition. reward had been of
inred for Lopez, and pardon all that would assist
Ia his capture The opinion OF respectable parties
in matanzas was, that the romninder of the prison
ers THAI might be taken would be sentenced to the
chain gangs, IL was Thought that blood enough
had been shed. The Spaniards express the most
contemprbie opinion Of The Creoes and assert that
they first persuaded Lopez TO undertake the expe-
dltion aud then deserted him.
"The reports of desertions, &C., from the Span
ish troops, is entirely without foundation Some of
the patriots taken and brought in as prisoner
by the negroes of the island.
.No news of tho capture Of Lopez had been
ceived at Matanzas up to the period of the sailing
of the Argus.
"There was great excitement against the Ameri-
cans, and many of them feared assassination"
