Of years in Cuba, chiefly at Havana, and very
recently came from there. He confirms our i'm
preston of the general loyalty of the inhaditants
and the utter hopeessness ofsuch attempts as have
been made by Lopez and his adherenis to revolu-
tionise the Island The great reliance Of the gov
eminent is not upon the army, which may or may
mot be trustworthy under supposable circums stan

mn'nder OF Lopez's men, ifcaptured and to any
