GLORIOUS NEWS FROM HAVANA,
Triumph of Lopez Confirmed.
Confirmation of Gen. Enna's Death.

Lopez Marching Oh Havana.
The following dispatch, from New Orleans, which
came to hand last evening, fully confirms the news
we published yesterday in dispatch from Savannah,
announcing the arrival of the schooner Merchant with
dates from Havana to the 23d ut.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. l, 1851. The steamer Gin
cinnati arrived here to-day from Havana, bringing
dates to the 25th ult., being days later than
those brought by The Empire City.
She brings accounts of the undoubted success Of
General Lopez, and his total route of the army Of
General Enna, who was so repeatedly reinforced to
officer under the Captain General, fell MORALLY woun
ded, and his body was brought to Havana and buried
with great pomp and ceremony on the Goth, five days
before the Cincinnati sailed.
The Spanish loss had been immense, and the great
est CONSERVATION prevailed in Havan1 where the pat
riots were preparing to meet Gen. Lopez, who was
reported marching the city with force of about
1900 liberators.
The steamer Cincinnati, as she came out from Ha-
vana, passed the steamer Pizarro sea, but where
bound was not known.
Great efforts continued to be made by the authori-
ties to keep the Of Lopez's victories from the
people, but the arrival Of the dead and wounded
speaks louder than words.
The captured leaders OF the revolution, Prin-
cipe, some of whom gave themselves up to Spanish
mercy, have all been shot.
full list of the officers of Lopezs little army is
publis in Faro Industrial.
All American vessels arriving at Havana are now
searched before being allowed enter the port, for
fear that there may be arms ammunition on board.
Accounts by the Cincinnati fully confirm the de.
tails of the crueles practiced by the soldiers and
rabbe the bodies Of Crittendens unfortunate par
ty. There is of the fate Of the balance OF
them.

LATER FROM CuBA,v N Ew ORLEANS. Telegraph
ic dispatches dated yesterday morning received
in the afternoon at the Treasury Department from
official source at New Orleans which state that news
from Havana to the 25th ult had been received in that
city. The accounts said to be contradictory, but
the facts seem to be that Lopez was still maintaining
himself with force very much reduced, and that he
had been joined by none Of the Creoles. The des-
patches which furnish the above information also
state that no vessel the interest of the Invaders had
left New Orleans since the departure Of the Pampero.

scrape lie had fallen into. However, a glance
at the stern faces around him, warned HIM that
it was no time for laughing. And well it proba-
bly, was for him that he listened to the dictates of
prudence, for, on stating to the Judge the com
monness of such prints in Britain, and his own
innocence of all evil intentions in bringing them
to Spain, he found that that innocence was not
so readily to be credited. The Judge simply
heard his statement. and sent him back to his
cell.
On a little subsequent consideration, the ira
weller saw clearly that the testimony of some of
his cOuntrymen was the only way of getting him
speedily and fairly out of his present %predica-
ment. He made immediate application, there
fore, to have letters conveyed to the English con-
sui at Cadiz, and also to the ambassador then in
Spain. The application was granted, and the
missive dispatched. Some time elapsed ere an

Mann's Speech.

The spoooh of Horace Mann on the Fugitive
Slave Law, delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatives, in committee of the whole, during the
last days of the session, is a masterpiece, and
one which is destined to live in history as the
great and finishing argument which overthrow
that disgrace(ul enactment; for we will moi
permit ourselves to doubt but that its doom is
sealed.
But as it would occupy half our paper many
weeks as it is now published in a large extra
sheet in Boston, at two or three dollars pei
hundred, or two or three cents a piece, we have
concluded not TO publish it, but recommend to
our friends in each town, to club, and send to
the Commonwealth office in Boston for such
numbers as may be deemed advisable. They
will then have the speech on one sheet for q
continuous perusal and preservation. Thar
speech must be thrown into every family in
