Tue CUBAN REVoLUTIoN.-We have
nothing but contradictory statements Of
the progress of the revolution IN this Is
land. and as near as we can ascertain.
both the Government aud the revolution
lists publish exaggerated statements. One
despatch is as foIlows:-
"Nrw ORLEANS. Aug, s. II A. l.
The Cherokee has arrived. Private let
ters received by her. from Havana, state
that The revolution has been put down,
and that many of the insurgents had been
captured and shot"
Another reads differently
Nav ORLEANs, Aug So P. M.-The
Picayune has published an extra. con.
tanning a letter from Havana. which states
that the revolution had not been put
down. but that the patriots held lheirown
that Trinidad. Cieufugas aud Villa
Glare had sent out their bands, aud that
banners htc been raised, on the 2Sth ult.,
at Guipes and Miranda.
The sloop of war Albany. and steam.
er Vixen sailed from Pensacola on Sat.
urdsy, it is supposed for Cuba"
A postscript to a letter dated Havana
Cd. contains the fnllowine:-
II have this mome"t peruse d a printed
document dated the Gath Of July. issued
by the insurgents, e%ntrenched in the fast.

that Capt. Fortuna and sixty of the
Queens troops had gone over to them on
that day"
We give the above as a sample Of the
lot, not caring to burden nur columns with
long details upon either side, On which
no reliance can be placed. II is proba.
hle that the next arrival will bring some
definite Intelligence. Should the revo.
ln'ionists hold out, they will doubtless re.
ceive aid from this country. notwithstand

thorities to maintain the neutrality laws
nf tho country, In IL paper of to-day
will also he found one or two other arti.
clcs upon this subject. As matter of

Rumors are thick, but reliable reports are
scarce.
A NFw YoRK CUBA EXPEDITION. The
New York Express, Of Wednesday eve
says:
1--WE learn from authority, we do not
that the few Cubans here are ma.
king rapid preparations for M expedition
from this port, To invade Cubn-aud that

New York 'etter says that there is
sruth in the statement thar n brig has
sailed from that port with a cargo of"Fil-
libnsrers" Gnr Cuba. aud adds:
The story probably originated in the
fact that at several meetings which the
Cuhans have held in this city ofla,e, the
