THE CupA EXPEDITION FRUSTRATED
Vessel seized at Ne,c York, We learn
from the New York papers that on
Tuesday morning, the % ult., Mr.. Tall.
madge, the United States Marshal
there, received intelligence that the
steamer Cleopatra had been chartered
by certain persons, and secretly fitted
out with arms and ammunition, for the
purpose of being employed in an expe-
diton against the Island of Cubu. The
Commercial says:
He Immediately dispatched a mes,
sage to Washington for instructions,
and n Cabinet meeting was held, the
result of which was that tho Marshal
was directed to proceed forthwith to
use all the means in his power TO pre-
vent the sailing of the expedition, in
conformity with tn, eighth section OF
the neutrality law. Mr.. Tallmadge
accordingly applied to the command
ing officer at the navy yard for an aux
iliary force. but it was refused on the
ground that no special instructions, to
that effect had been received. The
chief of police, however, volunteered
the aid of twenty men ofshis force, and
with these the Marshal FASTENED, or
Wednesday evening, to the perform
ance of his duty Information having
been received in the meantime tkat the
Cleopatra had gone down the bay and
anchored there, with view to tahe on
board several hundred men, Mr.. Tall
madge promptly chartered the steamer
Jacob Bell, and taking the United
States revenue cutter Morris in tow
started in pursuit.
The cutter was stationed outside
Sandy Hook Light. and the Jacob
Bell crulsed about the Bay in search
of the steamer of the expeditionists.
Nothing could be seen of her, however
and The marshal returned to the city
about 9 o'clock, this morning, when
the Cleopatra was found laying at the
dock. foot of North Moore street. She
was Immediately taken possession Of,
and now remains in the custody of the
marshal. Many persons bavo been
disposed to doubt the existence Of any
design to renew the piratical invasion
of Cuba, the territory Of friendly
power. There is no longer any room
for doubt. We might give the names
of the parties implicated as leaders
but for the obvious reasons they are
withheld for the present.
The Journal of commerce SAYS that
there were no persons ON board the
Cleopatra, except her ordinary crew.
Referring to this subject. the New
York correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, says
The prompt action of the United
States marshal has put the quietus up
on proposed expedition from this vi
cinity for Cuba. The steamer Cleo
patra was placed under restraint, ar
examination making it evident thai
she was provisioped and had a heavy
cargo on board, but no arms or anmu
milton. Large numbers of men have
been lettering about South Amboy fol
a few days past, waiting for sloop &c
take them off lying at the dock, which
had been chartered by two Spaniards
The Cleopatra had recently been pur
chased for $4,000, and fitted out for G
voyage South.
