Cuba


From the Baltimore Patrlot, 10Th ins
The developments which have been made within
short time past, leave no room to doubt that the
country is about to be again dsgraced by new
expedition against Cuba, made up OF citizens OF the
United States. The point OF general rendezvous
is said to be on the Florida coast. The Courier,
printed at Rome, in Georgia, says:
For the last few days there have been rumors
afoat In our city of another expedition against
Cuba, and quite a number oil young men from
Rome and its vicinity have left, 1t is supposed to
Join in this rather delicate and hazardous enterprise
1t is also rumored that this new movement is sane
toned, if not prompted, by men OF influence and
official standing in Georgia and other Southern
States. We understand the expedition is to sail
from Savannah on Saturday next"
Letters from Alabama state that another party is
to embark at Mobile.
In the meantime, the National Executive is not
idle. Orders have been issued to the comman-
dants of the naval forces to be the alert and the
most decided measures will be taken to arrest the
parties and break up the expedition. letter from
Washington says:
"The administration is on the alert to suppress
the expedition against Cuba With the new ex-
petition there will be but little popular sympathy,
it will be understood to be pratica, rather than
patriotic.
"The Government will not be bound, second
time to ntercede for these adventures, when they
shall be again caught, will the Spanish author
tiles be expected to exercise any clemency towards
them"
the intended movement, and have made cores
ponding preparations for its reception both by la nd
and sea-
STATE OF PREPARATIoN-The government of
Cuba appears to be actively awake to the designs
of the INVADERS is prepared for them, and watch
ing their movements vgantly. The Captain
General has disposed of his large body of troops
tbrpll, rHprt fhai hot and
ment will be impossible if the invaders land.
Cruisers also guarding the coast and number
of steam vessels of war, American, French, and
English, in the immediate neighborhood, all of
which will deem it their duty 10 lnterpose to pre-
vent repetition of the dsgracefu scenes at Car
denas. The chance of escape with their lives for
those who are foolish enough to engage in such an
adventure ia very narrow one, indeed. The Cap
tain General of Cuba would not be disposed to
listen favorably to any intercesson from the Uni
ted States in behalf of those who fall into his
hands neither would such interference be Just or
proper in the face of facts exhibiting such an utter
disregard of the obligations which such persons
owe as citizens to their country and its laws.
Those who make themselves outlaws have no
claims upon their country for its protection when
caught in their lawless acts. Philadelphia Ledger
The Pensacola Gazette says that reports are
current there Of the revival of the project for the
invasion of Cuba under Gen. Lopez. He will be
prominent actor IN the expedition, no doubt; but
if we are correctly informed, he is not to be ths
leader Of it. NAT. Intelligencer.
CUBAN No. Two AFFAIR.-The Washington
Union doubts that another expedition against Cuba
is foot and thinks that the reports in circulation
originate with the agents of the Spanish Govern
ment, whose interests promoted by keeping up
the excitement.
The Union consents, with much composure, to
be blinded. 1t is surely too late for the expression
of that opinion.
