from the Turks Islands Royal Gazette, Aug 25l
Fo. some time past rumors have been in oirculs-
tion that third expedition would sail fro n the
United States for the purpose Of again invading Caba
These rumors have at length taken . tangible form
and the information that another grand expedition
is preparing TO leave the shores Of the United States
to be directed to st. Domingo, is now confirmed.
