MORALITY OF THE CUBAN pLoTTERs.

One of the most revolving circumstances to which
the conspiracy against the Spanish Island of Cuba
has given rise is the heartess imputations with
which the character of the unhappy victims of the
wicked enterprise is now assaed by some of those
who were most active, by false statements of re-
volts and revolutions in the Island, in deluding them
into it. Chisfsin' this game of ingra,tude and
,reacheryi is paper in New Orleans called the
DELTA one of the most notorious fomenters of the
plot against Cuba and which teemed with repre-
sensations to stimulate arden. and inconsderate
young men TO embark in the desperate scheme, by
which they found bloody graves. This print now
turns upon its victims, and nsinuaes that the let
tiers in which they denounce LOPEZ and the rest of
their decevers were dictated by the fear Of death
and the hope Of propitiatng their judges; that the
letters were written under Spanish dictaton; and
that for the credit of the writers, they ought to
have been suppressed by the friends 10 whom they
were addressed. 1t is even asserted that LOPEZ
wanted none of them to 60 with him; but had de-
sired to 90 with few personal friends only, and
commence the revolution alone! What pity
that his disn,eres,ed counsel was unheeded How
many lives, which might hereafter have been OF
great value TO the country, would have been saved,
had his advice been followed
