i've Wings, tour Derls, and one independent
Wing.
INDIANA.-It is said that the Wings have
elected three members Of Congress in this
State, being a gain of two. In the last Cen

In the latter, the Wings have certainly

THE CUBA INVASION
We fndthe following letter in the New
York Erpress, giving an account Of the rem
devious Of the Cuban Expedition on the
Florida Keys: u
Orange Key, bahama Bqaks,
S5 dag. l, 1851.
Two small steamers from New Orleans,
with from 1000 to / 200 men on board, an,
chored in Los Mimbros Roads last evening
and, after stopping for about two hours, pass
ed this place steering E s. E. It is well
known here that the Cubans have purchased
these steamers, and that those on board form
ed the auxiliary force expected by the Pa
tr;ots from the United States. It IS impos-
sible to conjecture the cause ofso many small
craft with such able bodied crews, assem-
bling along the Reefand among the immune
rable islands, unless that which e%xcites the
public mind in regard to the political move
ments not transpiring in Cuba.
The destination of the steamers and the
foilla in this Archipelago. is unquestionably
the Bay Of Neuvitas, which is the entrance to
Puerto Principe, the river ~emptying into the
Bay running into the interior Of the town Of
Principe. The approach to the Bay Of Nea-
vitas by troops, must be made by sea from
Havanna, and not an oyster boat can move
now in these waters unknown to the invaders
At Puerto Principe, or on the opposite side
of the Island, and equidistant, are the town
and river of ST. Cruz, which is accessible to
small vessels Of war, and, to 3 certainty, at
one of those two points will the men from
the Reef and from the steamers effect a land
ing.
The white population Of Cuba does not
reach 100000, and the free colored and
slaves as many. The Creole whites are 140,-
} 900, and the free eolored 10000, equal to
10000, all of whom are capable Of bearing
arms and favorable, it is said, to the revolu-
ton. Composed to this force are 10000
Spaniards, belonging to the Island, and 90
900 Spanish troops.
The next intelligence will be decisive, and
will declare to the world that Cuba has sew
cred the link that connected her with Spain,
or riveted it more firmly, to endure for ages
Yours verytruly. DE.
