"WAsHNGroS AUGUST 81, 1852.
Notwithstanding the attempts in various quarters,
the disclosures of threatened revolution
in Cuba with levity the matter is known to be sufficient
y grave to have attracted the serious attention of the
Spanish Minister here and have been brought to the
notice of the Government in such to authorize
the adoption of precautionary There is little
exists in the Island,
that there agencies branches in the United States
1t is pretty well ascerained that individuals connected
with the proposed movement have recently been vibrating
between New York and New Orleans, concerning plans
and holding conferences; looking is supposed, to
hostile demonstration in the month of October With all
the secrecy which has been observed by these consaors
against the public peace and good faith of the United
States in the observance of treaty spuatons they have
been tracked closely to warrant the belief that
plan has devised and that another invasion may
be attempted unless the present intelligence should lead
to its Illustration"
The New York " Times, expressing what would
be very natural sympathy with any rational aspi-
rations after freer government by the native nhabi
tants of Cuba, says:
1--WE trust that our Government will prevent-f the
sober Of people shall prove insufcent-any
newa of attempts invading Cuba from the United States
Such attempts would do good clearly Illegal and
would involve the almost certain death of all who might
enlist in them. We hope that if they foot they
viii be thwarted"
This is, or ought to be, the sentiment of all re-
fecting honest men. The duty of this Government
is clear. We have, most fortunately, an Admins
tration which respects the Laws of Nations, and
knows and obeys the injunctions of our own laws
and the precepts of Christianity and, when the
term Of this Administration shall end another will
obligations, and ready and prompt at all times to
discharge them.
We notice this matter now, in view of the indus
trious efforts of the New York Sun and its colabor-
ers elsewhere to get up excitement, as was done
last year, by fabricated accounts of pretended Reyo-
lutionary movements in Cuba, for the purpose of
stating that we learn, from reliable authority in
Charleston, that Letters received in that city from
Havana, of as late date as the Odd of last month,
report things in that city to be tranquil usual
and as free from any political excitement.
The Havana correspondent Of the Journal of Commerce
B Y :" who (says the Commercial Advertser has given
evidences Of his approval of the revoluonsts
and Of his hatred Of the Spanish Government gives the
following Of the seizure of the Voice Of the Peo
pie" His remarks throw very considerable shade upon
the alleged revolutionary strength Of the island:
0n the night Of the 23d instant the police Of the city
discovered and captured the press of the Voice Of the
People with all the materials and form for No 4, Of
which only the proof had been taken for correction The
