TELEGRAPH REPORTS, &c.

| In consequence of the arrangement of the Tele-
graph lines, we are without further accounts from
New Orleans or from any part of the Southwest,
whence later advices the exciting topics Of the
day may be expected. Both lines of Telegraph
| to New Orleans-that by the Western route, as
well as the Southern line, through Washington,
Charleston &c.--have been interrupted for several
days past. Our correspondent at Baltimore writes:
"That communication has been had with Charleston
during this week. and excepting part Of day last week.

| In the Philadelphia Inquirer received last night
we find two Telegraphic bulletins from New Or
leans that contain some additional particulars re-
lating to the popular commotion in that city:

copy these dispatches although they are in part,

NV ORLHANs, AUGUST %.
The excitement Of last night has lost of its interest
this morning AT early hour body Of two thousand Of
the Lbeatos surrounded the city prison. This outbust
caused by the Spanish Consul who, fearing that he would
lose his life the night previous asked the protection Of
the american Flag, and placed in the city prison

demanded that the Spanish Consul should be delivered up

their friends.
Another despatch from New Orleans says that
the fifty men who were executed at Havana
engaged in flank movement in conjunction with
Lopez, when they were captured by the steamer
Habanero.
FROM OUR BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENT.
A despatch just at hand from New Orleans,
dated 23d instant, received over the Western
(O'Reillys) line, states that letters published at
New Orleans, from Capt. KERR, Major STAN
FORD, and others who shot Havana, blame LorEz
for abandoning Col. CaIrrrsDrs's company, which
captured, and has suffered terrible fate Beyond this,
have nothing else up to this wiring.
You must take with much allowance many of the de-
spatches purporng TO give regarding the movements
Of LorEz the Cuban invaders &c. large majority Of
them are manufactured suit certain purposes. have
the most convincing evidence that many Of them

gain publication occasionally in Of the Northern
papers dispatches known to be sent from Baltimore, which,
when undergoing the process ofwting out headed with
glarng, exciting captions and would actually not be recog-
missed the by the person who sent them Every thing
worked up to the highest pitch Of excitement Numerous
fancy touches inserted and manufactured ccumsts

trivial matter, greater part Of which may be old news,
be fresh from headquarters Such dispatches too
often made hail from places where they were never

the sembance Of news.
REPORTED CAPTURE OF LOPEZ.
We copy the following from the New York
Commercial Advertiser, whichsay in reference toi:
We have previously had official Of this engage
