The Patriots Routed and taken
Prisoners.

New ORLEANS, Aug. 22.-Letters have
been received in this city from authentic
sources, dated Havana. August Is, which
state that Gen. Lopez had fought only one
battle with the Spaniards, and that the lat.
ter met with repulsc.
Shortly afterwards, the Spaniards, hav-
ing received large rcinforcements. with
cannon, &c. returned to the charge, and
succeeded in utterly routing tie patriots
and capturing ecery one, including Gen.
Lopez.
The battle occurred almost immediately
after the landing Of the patriot forces.
The loss on the Spanish side, on the first
repulsc, was between four and FIVE hun
dred.
Everything was apparently quiet at the
date ofthe letters, and no further difficulty
was anticipated until the arrival of more
fllibusters.

- The idea Of Southern Locofocos
raking up letters written twenty years ago
to convict Mr.. Fillmore of hostility to
slavery, is (says the New Orleans Bce,)
supremacy ridiculous. Nobody ever pre-
tented that he was in love with that insti-
tuition. Quite possibly he looks upon it
with unfavorable eyes, and in common
with every man, woman and child in the
North, and with many in the South, thinks
it a serious evil But, at the same time,
he places the Constitution far above private
sentiments. He sees nothing within that
sacred instrument either to justify the
slightest interference with slavery; or to
admit ofany higher law, by which its man
dates can be set aside He examines the
Constitution, and he finds that the right of
secession exists neither by direct admis-
sion, nor by implication. With this uner-
ring guide, therefore, Mr.. Fillmore ncces-
sarily opposes the pseudo-philanthropy of
Abolition, and the miserable hercsics OF
Disunion. He steers calm and confident
course, undismaycd by the clamor and the
Remuneration of faction

The President disappointment.
Most ofour readers are already apprizcd
Of the fact. that the contemplated visit
Of President Fillmore and Secretary Stuart.
to Lynchburg. did not take place. The
cause Of this failure and disappointment is
partly explained. by the following note ad-
dressed to Francis b. Dcanc, Chairman OF
committee of invitation:
WHITE SULPHUR, Arc. 2JrH.
DyAR SrR-I regret to state that the President
had severe attack Of Cholera Morbus last night.
which will render him unable in the opinion OF his
physician, to travel for day two. tear, there
fore he win be obliged TO deny himself the plcas-
ure of going by Lynchburg on his route homeward.
a. fatigue and excitement would be unfavourabie
To him. Yours. truly,
ALEX H. II. STUART
Notwithstanding this. we learn that the
President had sufficiently recovered from
his attack to set out on his journey the 9th
inst, with the view of taking Lynchburg,
on his route homcward. Near the
Natural Bridge. he was met byan
Express from the Seat Of Government,
acquainting him with the exciting occur
rences in Cuba and New Orleans, and al
once determined to proceed directly to
Washington.
1t is source Of much regret to the citi.
zcns of Lynchburg. and many who had
come in from the country, that they were
denied the pleasure of paying their res
pect to Chief Magistrate, who has so no
bly, performed all the duties of his great
Office, and done so'much to restore peace tt
distracted country; but they appreciate
the public necessity, which has called hin
suddenly back to the field of duty, and for
get their own disappointment,in the grat6
cation that his recovery of health and hi.
presence at Washington, at SO critical q
time inspire.

70 The stringent provision in the new
constitution of Indiana, forbidding ne
grocs, for the future, from coming into that
State, has produced much excitement a.
mong that class, and a convention has been
held at indianapolis to take the subject into
consideration. Among other things, they
resolved, that should the laws Of Indiana
become so oppressive as to become intole-
rable, they recommend their people to emf
CRATE to Canada, Jamaica or elsewhere, in
preference to Liberia.
The State Journal says:-"The feeling
is decidedly in favor of emigration; but a
great prejudice exists in the minds of the
members of the convention ganst Liberia
Among other countries spokenof-Canada,
Jamaica, Mexico, New Grenada, Central
America-the preference is decidedly for
Canada, principally because it is easy of ac-
cess"
Part of the business of this convention is
to appoint delegates to attend the national
convention, which will be held soon.
- A writer in the Baltimore Patriot
gives the following account of tn c negroes
emancipatcd by the will of John Ran
dolph:
"Troy, about twenty miles from Day
ton, is small and rather dilapidated town,
between this place and Pequa. Along the
canal the majority of the Randolph nc
groes are located. 1t was in the adjoining
county Of Mercer that the large tract Of
land was purchased for their settlement,
from which they were forcibly elected by
the white inhabitants. The condition of
these poor creatures is a sad commentary
on the miserable policy of emancip1ting
negroes, and allowing them to remain in
this country. The majority Of these once
invaluable servants are now worthless
pests upon the community among whom
they are located, and often want for the
common necessaries oflife. heard several
express an ardent wish to return to the
shores Of Roanoke again, where they once
had plenty, and did not know what it was
to suffer or want"
