named Chiesa, was shot at Milan, a
short time since, for attempting to

announced in the newspapers at the

lowing interesting particulars Of the
man and his manner Of death:
"He was to have been hanged &C.

(hatred to the foreign yoke. is so deep.
ly ingrained in the nation, that it has

with death for his disobedience." 4

HAVANA, Sept. 6, 1851.
DEAR FK1END:-The newspapers
doubtless informed you Of the fate of
Gen. Lopez's party, and it is not
necessary for me to recapitulate
events. was released from prison
on Monday, the first Of this month,
and have been on board the ship
Norma, but viii sail for New York
tomorrow, and from thence home by
the river route. Previous to- our
capture. we had some very hard fight.
Ing. Think Of $50 men against 200
raw recruits. have seen that, and
these raw recruits whip them and
make them ingloriously fly before
them. Porter was badly wounded in
the right breast on the 18th, in the
first action. near by my side, but he
has stood the march ever since. and
is among the prisoners, getting well
IF his wounds. Out of the forty men
brought in my company, but seven
remain. They consecrated their lives
to Cuban liberty-they died like
heroes worthy 10 be called the de-
scendants of our revolutionary fathers
brave and generous to fault. At
all the battle. fields we gathered to~
ge.her the wounded on both sides. and
our Surgeons dressed the wounds Of
the Spaniards the same as they did
the wounds of our men. DR.. Fourni.
quet who dressed the wounds Of the
first Spanish soldier, was led out and
shot by order of the Governor Gen.
eral. without trial, at this place with
Crittendcn. So much for Spanish
generosity. At another place, the
Spanish soldiers, wounded, begged
for the lives of our wounded, but could
not save them from the bayonet.-
Doctor Brigham was bayonetcd after
being wounded. and his wound drcs.
sed, and our party marched out of
sight. But when we met them on
the battle. field, Spanish blood was
split freely to make amends for their
barbarity, The report in Havana,
from the Spanish authorities, is, that
we killed and disabled Upwards 81
1000 soldiers. That's what may be
called game in the way Of fighting
particularly as we only landed with
four hundred soldiers, and they all
green; and at every battle we lost
lnore or less, because a bad wound
was equal to death, for we had no
transportation for our sick. and were
compelled 10 march soonafter battle.
In the hardest fought battle there
were but about two hundred Ameri.
cans. General Emma, Ct the Spanish
troops, was killed there, and the whole
command put TO flight in twenty
minutes after the engagement com.
menced. We also repulsed the Ian
GERS that day with 200, and they wei
400 strong. No people under the
wide spread canopy Of heaven can
figh, like the American boys. ALI
though our arms were Indifferent
muskets. the Spaniards think yet we
had rifles, because we killed at every
fire. Our boys take aim ard draw a
bead before pulling trigger. This is
the cause Of their success, and it al.
ways will be so. J. A. KELLY.
