Inc CITY papers OF TINS morning ooptnin vOfy
conflicting accounts from Cuba The schooner
Merchant, at Savannah ON the LIST, with Havana
dates to Che 2Sd; and the steamer Csacsn"a" at
New Orleans on the LIST, with Cuba dates 10 tne
25th, are their sources of information
We were yesterday morning Informed BY
despatch from Savannah, that Lopez was pros
ner;pg. that his little army of two thousand
was marching into Havana, with constant ac-
cessions of the people and troops, and that
there was in that city no force adequate to re-
sist him. But from the Cincinnati, at New Or
leans, We now have the following:
New ORLEANS, September l.
The steamer Cincinnati has just arrived
from Havana with dates to the 25th of August.
Lopez still maintained himself, and the Span
ish authorities had offered pardon to all his
followers who would surrender.
New ORLEANS, September /.
The steamer Cincinnati has arrived, bringing
Havana dates to the 18th. She confirms the
intelligence brought to Savannah by the schr.
Merchant, Of the death of Gen. Emma, the heavy
losses of the Spaniards, and the advance of
Lopez upon Havana. The Cincinnati passed
the Pizarro at sea on the 26th.
The Cuban authorities make great efforts to
prevent news from the interior reaching the
public.
The revolutionary leaders captured near Prin-
cipe have been shot A full list of Lopez's
officers is published in the " Faro Industrial"
The Government yesterday afternoon received
the following telegraphic despatch in six hours
from New Orleans. 1t was published in the In
telligencer Of this morning:
New ORLEANS, September 2-11 q. m.
Advices from Havana to the 25th ultimo.
The accounts are conflicting. Lopez still held
out, with his force very much reduced. The
Government had offered a reward for him, but
had promised pardon to those Of his follow
ers who would surrender. 1t does not appear
that any of the Creoles had joined him. No
vessel has departed hence for Cuba since the
Pampero.,
A STEAMER ATTACHED AT New ORLEANs.--A
despatch from that city, dated the 29th, says,
that the United States Government have ordered
the attachment of the steamship Alabama, on
suspicion of being engaged in the Cuba move
ment
The Republic speaks in high commentator of
the Administration, which ''has been wanting
In no duty in endeavoring to maintain the law
of the land, and at the same time our treaty
2 stipulations and neutral obligations" and says
there is no doubt the instructions given by it
have had the desired effect but regrets to state,
as an exception, the case Of the Collector Of
New Orleans, "by whose negligence the Pam
pero was permitted to depart from that port
without clearance or papers," but informs us
that upon the investigation of the conduct of
this officer, and perceiving that the vessel
was allowed to depart, notwithstanding d.
rect call upon him by Gen. Twiggs to do his
duty, in obedience to his orders, and offering
to furnish the requisite force from his COM
mand in the vicinity to make his interference
effectual the President has felt IL has imperative
duty promptly TO remove the Collector from Of
fce''
The Intelligencer remarks, that the dismissal
of this officer and the appointment of a substi-
tute 1--WE know not who) was "the first act Of
the President after his return to the city and
fully informing himself of the facts of the
case" The absence Of the President from the |
seat Of Government for four Veehs, at such juno
ture, and his ignorance Of The "taets Of the case"
may possibly be reprehensible also. 1t is indica-
ted by this statement that the Presidential dis
erection and powers were not, as has been init |
mated, vested in the Secretary of the Treasury,
or any one else who was here and informed of
the I" facts of the case" President Fillmore is
very competent to judge of these matters for
himself; but it may be that his summers ex-
cursions will cost him dear, even though he
gain the whole State of Virginia.
The Intelligencer further informs us

ng at Norfolk to convey Mr.. Letcher to Mexico,
