Dear Ptc.-Cuba having. at last become
convinced that she must trust TO her "
exertions and look TO her w right arm for
the vindication of her rights, has at last
struck the'blow, and now has her Lexing-
ton IN Guanamaquil, and may yet, have
her Bunker's Hill at Najaza. The revolu-
lion has broken out, and with that true
sympathy with the Great Republic that
leads 10 kind feelings and sympathizing
protection, her sons determined that whilst
the cannon of the Continent was celebra.
ting the birth of Liberty in the New World,
the Genius Of the Queen of the Antilles
should call II into existence IN the Isles.
On the glorious Fourth OF July the pronun-
ciamlento was made near Principe, and the
call ran fast through the country to conceil-
tra'e on Najaza. A small party that was
directing their steps to the point of union
were attacked in the plain of Guanama-
q'nu by a squadron OF lancers, who, after a
struggle Of t~lree-quarters of an hour, were
forced 10 retire, leaving twenty on the.
field. The laucers unfortunately were able
to bring of Don joaquin Aguero, whose
saddle girth broke and he was made pri.
soner.
Since the first news of the outbreak, our
advlces are very meagre, and entirely Spa
nrsh, so you eau Judge how much they can
be relied upon. These represent the coun.
try as quiet but at the saue time acknow-
ledge that in Las Tunas there has also oc.
Cured a pronunciamiento. The point
where the patriots have concentrated is in
the mountains Of Najaza. between Puerto
Principe aud Las Tunas, which lies more
toward Santiago. Their number is various
ly estimated between three hundred and
one thousand men, and the country round
Principe aud Nuevitas is said to be almost
entirely deserted by the young men, who,
it is supposed, are going in by by-parhs to
the revolutionists. Judging from circum-
stances, the affair is taking. a very serious
aspect. A portion of a regiment, as much
as they dare spare, have this morning been
taken up to windward, probably to Nuevi.
tas, by steamer, and | have been told that
Gen. Lymerich has been superseded in the
command there This is the old Spanish
fashion when things go badly; the want of
success is attributed TO the general. / have
seen a letter from a captain OF one of the
regiments at Principe, to his friend here,
which states that he is "ordered ont to rein-
force the party i'll front of the insurgents,
and, that it is said that men, both from the
infantry and cavalry, are continually going
over the enemy" This is the position Of
the news now the mail is due this sfter.
noon. and may bring US further intelli.
gence.
The effect is sucn as to cause much I'M
e~asiness and excitement here, aud it is SUD-
posed that the mail to-day may bring ad.
vices Of further instructions. II is rumor.
ed that Trinidad is up, but this wants con-
frmation. From Matanzas the Govern
ment have received official advices that ii
is absolutely necessary to remove at once
one of the regiments there, for il has shown
the most evident signs Of in~sabordination.
So great is the discomfort and desire
throughout the country to throw off the
yoke that has so long oppressed them, that
should Lopez land row with one hundred
men the revolution would be finished in
ninety days. What has become Of him.
Can't he get OH u rat aud drift over here !
