The IS CIeOpatra,' Indictments.

On the ID inst, Mr.. j. L. O'Sulvan, Major
Sleisnger and Capt. Lewis, appeared agreeably to
their recognzances in the U. S. District Court
in New York, indicted on charge of being en-
gagged in fitting out an expedition for the invasion
of Cuba.
Mr.. O'Sullivan remarked, on the District Attor-
ney's inquiry if they prepared to plead, that the
bill of Indictment was very voluminous, and that
he had not been able to procure copy of it. He
moved a removal Of the case for trial from the u S.
District Court to the U. S. Circuit Court, as i'm
portant principles of law were involved, and it was
desirable that an appeal be secured, so that the
law may be settled if need be, by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The District Attorney
opposed the motion, chiefly because there are
| number Of witnesses in the case who are detained
in prison, while the three gentlemen indicted are
out on bail, and it would be proper that the case
come on for their sakes, well as on account Of
the heavy expense. Mr.. O'Sullivan said that he
was perfectly willing that the testimony of any OF
the witnesses should be taken de benesse The
District Attorney remarked that he would rather
have the witnesses present. Judge Belts said, so
far as he was concerned, he would much prefer to
have the aid of the Circuit Court in the case HIS
duties, however, are SO pressing that he would
probably not be able to give attention to it till
April next, so that the case, as at New Orleans
would probably have to be tried by the District
Judge alone, although it TO the Circuit Court
