steamship Winfield Scott, Capt. Ceuillard, with in
telligence from Key West, that General Lopez had
succeeded in landing on the shores Of Cuba. This
excitement became intense, last night, on the arri-
val of the steamship Cherokee, with advices from
Havana to the 18th inst, confirming the intelli-
gence of the landing of Lopez and bringing the ad
dtional news of the capture aHd immediate execu-
ton of fifty Americans who were a part Of the
invading force.
This news, so shocking in some of its details, will
be read with the greatest avidty.
We will give the accounts, in the regular order,
from the landing of General Lopez to the hour OF
the departure of the Cherokee.
THE NEWS BY THE WINFIELD SCOTT.
The Winfield Scott, after q wonderful passage
from New Orleans via Key West, arrived early
yesterday morning.
We learn from Capt. Couillard Mr.. Shed, the
Purser, and Messrs. Tayl,r and Baker, passengers,
that ten miles south of Key West, the Winfield
Scott was boarded by Mr.. Curtis, messenger from
sail boat, bringing with him parcel which he
called the small mail, which he left on board the
w. s. This mail contained letter from our Key
West correspondent The messenger, ottache
of the Custom House or Pos. Office Department,
stated that the steamship Pampero, Capt. Lewis,
came into Key West and anchored in the harbor
on the 10th instant. After remaining several hours
she left at eleven p. M, for the Cuba shore, with
General Lopez, suite, and four hundred and fifty
men on board On the 18th inst, she returned, aud
again anchored in the harbor but left in hour to
prevent seizure. She had hindet Lopez AID -Four
Hundred and Fifty at CubanoS, near Bahia
Hor3a, place about forty miles csst of Hiram.
The Pampero hung around Key West until the
night Of the 18th inst and took some twenty or
twenty-five recruits bound from t.aat place. and
then departed for Jacksonville for Gen. Gonzales
and his company. Jacksonville is several hundred
miles north Of Key West, andit would take four or
five days for tho Pampero to 60 there and thence {,
Cuba. She could not get back to the Cuba shore
before the 10Th or goth.
We are further informed that the United States
revenue cutter Crawford, Lieutenant Clark, at Key
West, was in a disabled condition, so much so that
she would not be sent to for any practical pur
pose, especially in pursuit Of the Pampero, a fast
steamer; and that this announcement. on board the
Scott caused considerable merrment among the
passengers.
~ The United States Judge, Marshal, and ths-Co-
lector Of the Port, were aSsent from Key West,
"up the reef as is usual at this time Of the year,
for their health.
