l Saiu De1OrcS tney1 as wen as CNeiy "O"y
else, really and sincerely believed that
the creoles would have joined Lopez
to man. consider that Spain is now
more firmly seated in her power with
regard to Cuba than she ever was be-
| fore. She knows now how completely
she may set at defiance the stupid brag-
gadocio of these pusilianimous cre-
oles; and unless Spain should become
involved in q war with the United
States, she may remain perfectly tram
quill. so far as regards the Cubans ever
obtaining their independence by their
own endeavors, These dastardly Gre
oles invited Lopez and the unfortunate
men 10 assist them to obtain their inde-
pendence, and not one them even at
tempted TO join him.
"Lopez was surrounded by upwards
of six thousand troops, and after hold
ing out eighteen days, was eventually
hunted through the mountains by
blood hounds, and finally betrayed 10y a
creole. Do nll in your power to pre-
vent other expeditions leaving the
States aud you cannot but do well too
in cautioning the public, and publish
ing to the world the dastardly conduct
Of these bnse wretches, the " creoles, :"
who, by their cowardly conduct and
base promises, induced that handful of
brave men to come on here, 10 their al
most total destruction. About 40 are
left to be sent. probably for life, to the
quicksilver mines in Spain"
The President arrived in Washing
ton on the doth ult. The Republic says
that a telegraphic dispatch containing
the intelligence Of the Cuban expedition
and its results reached him at the
White Sulphur Springs on the previous
| Sunday, and he started on his return AS
soon as he had so far recovered from
his recent indisposition as to render il
prudent to travel. We are happy to
state that his health is entirely recovered
Nearly all the members Of the Cabi-
! net were in Washington at the last adj
vices.
The ship Alexander, Capt. Walker,
arrived at New Orleans on the d2lh
from Havana, which port she left on
the 5th inst, four days after the Em-
pire City.
Capt. Walker reports that the Capt.
General had released two of the prison
ers taken with the Lopez expedition.
Havana was perfectly quiet, and the
Captain heard Of no insurgents in the
mountains about Puerto Principe, or in
any other part Of the island
The U. S. sloop-of-war Albany left
Havana on the 4th inst, destination not
known and the U. S. steamer Sara
nae was going in as Capt. Walker was
coming out.
Serious fears were entertained at n.
| Orleans on the night of the 18th inst,
and for several nights previous, that
renewal Of the riots which disgraced the
streets of that city a short time since
would take place. The intentions Of
the miscreants who premedtated it ap-
pears to have been for purposes ofplun-
der.
Fortunately, however, the design was
nipped in the bud. The Delta, Of the
18th, speaking Of the affair, says that
every proper precaution that predence
and just regard for the preservation of
the peace and good order Of onr city
required, was adopted last evening, the
the Mayor having issued the necessary
orders to increase the police force, and
to dispose them in suuh manner as to
