Cubs lating d last become con-
WINGED that She must trust 70 her own exer
tons and q Der own figlltarn for The vindk
cation Of Der rights, has at last struck the
blow, and nov. has her Lexington in Guiana
maquin, and may yethave her Bpnker's Hill
at Najaza. The revolution has broken out,
and with that trco sympathy with lhe Great
Republic that leads 70 kind feclingspd sym
pathising protection, hcl IONS determined that
whilst the cannoa Of tie coniinent was cele-
brating the birth Of Liberty ia the New,
World, the Genius Of tie Queen Of the An
TILES should call i into existence in the Isles.
On the glorious Fourth Of July the pronun-
ciamento was made near Principa, and the
call ran fast through the country to conccn-
tratc on Najaza. A small party that was d.
yeeting their steps totho point of union were
attacked in the plain Of Guanamaquin by
squadron Of lancers, who, after struggle Of
three quarters Of an hour, were forced to re-
tire, leaving twenty on the field. The Ian
GERS, unfortunately, were able to bring off
Don Iegquin Agusro, whose saddle girth
broke and he Was made prisoner.
Since the frst news Of the outbreak, our
udvieesare very neagre, and entirely Spanish,
50 you can judge how much they can be relied
upon. These represent the country as quiet;
but at the same time acknowledge that in Las
Tunas there has also occurred pronuncia-
mento. The point where the patriots have
concentrated is in the mountains of Najaza,
between Puerto Principe and Las Tunas,
which lies more towards Santiago. Their
number is yariously estimated between three
hundred and one thousand men, and the coun-
try round Principe and Nuevitas is said to be
almost entirely deserted by the young men,
who, it's supposed, are going in by by-paths
to the rovolutionists. Judging from cireum-
stances, the affair is taking a very serious as
pect. A portion of regiment, as much as
they dare spare, have this morning been ia
ken up to windward, probably to Nuevitas,
by steamer, and have been told that Gen.
Lymerich has been superseded in the COM
mend there. This is the old Spanish fashion
when things 60 badly; the wanto success is
attributed TO the General. Ihavc seen let
ter from Captain of one of the regiments at
Principe, to his friend here, which states that
he is ordered out to reinforce the party in
front Of the insurgents, and, that it is said
that men, both from the infantry and cayal-
~, are continually going over to the enemy"
This is the position of the news now; the
mail is due this afternoon, and may bring US
further intelligence.
The effect is such as to cause much unea-
siness and excitement here, and It is supuos-I
cd that the mail t1-day mey bring a3y;,c5 {,
further instructions. It is rumored that
Trinidad is up, but this wants confirmation
From Matanzas the Government have receiy-
cd official adyicos that it is absolutely ncecs-
sary to remove, at once, one Of the regiments
there, for it has shown nc most evident signs
of characterization. So great is the discon-
tent and desire throughout the country tel
throw off the yoke tina: has so long opposed
them, that should Lopez land now with one
hundred men tho revolution would be finish
ed ninety days. VIVA, has become of him?
Can't he get on a raft and drift over here?
Juy I8.-The mail arrived yesterday with
dates to the 18th from Puerto Principe; the
Government were making arrests there for
afFording aid AID comfort" to the rebels, !"
aud among other parties arrested, are two
young ladies, for having sent quantity Of
lint to the hospital commissary, and one of
thema sonnet toher lover. These have been
confined in nunnery pro fens., where they
are said to be very refractory and to sing con-
tinually
"No, won't be nun,
No, won't be nun,
