THE MEDITATED ATTACK ON CUBA.

Speaking of the prevalent rumors on this subject, ,
he New York Commercial Advertiser of Thurs
day says:
s impossible yet to ascertain correctly the extent OF
the preparations made any have indeed been seriously en-
tered upon for second attempt disturb Spain In the
session of the Island Of Cuba The idle bossHgs OF some
Southern journals and the bold hoaIes pacised by
per this city, the of the former attempt taken 10
connexon with their full contradiction in the miserable issue
Of that vauned project necessarily destroy all confidence in
the renewed defamation about the Cubsns being prepared to
shake of the Spanish yoke, and ovefowng with revolu-
tonary zeal that they themselves determined to be the
first to strike the blow for their freedom We can only
say that the Cubans according to the papers which are so
lost to all Of national honor defend the invaders,
are wondrousy inactive amid all this talk about revolutionary
impotence, and to be far from striking any blow, er
eept at the inUader they were when General Lopezs
misguided horde had remarkable specimen Of their ead
ness to cooperate 10 revoutionzng the island.
sWe venture to predict, first, that MO considerable num-
Der Of that be relied upoa will engage in second

attitude assumed BY the Spanish Government We know
from an authentic source that the most energetic nsuc

succeed in euding the vigilance of the In such
the Captain General IL determined to make terrible
example, and the gaows will terminate the expedition for
those who take part in it. Seven thousand

the anticipated rebellion The American figate Saranac
has put sea, well the French
to cruise around the while, the other hand the
English fgae Alarm and brig Persian have arrived Ha-
from Jamaica to protect British interests in any

These facts indicate how utterly futile must any such
attempt that talked Of Add these what equally

in national honor and international good faith and will
