GOVERNMENT AND THE FnrBUsrERos.-Con
rable excitement has been created among all
classes Of our community, by the publication
in yesterdays HERALD of telegraphic des-
patch from Washington, announcing that the
government had been made cognizant Of the
fact Of extensive arrangements having been
completed for the immediate departure of in
vadiug expeditions from New York and New
Orleans for the island of Cuba. 1t was also
stated that orders had been despatched to tie
proper authorities OF those cities for the arrest
of some Of the prominent parties in the enter
would have arrived too late to prevent the de-
palturc of q portion of the expedition. 1t is not
surprising that the publication of such import
ant intelligence, emanating from the Executive
department at Washington. should have ex-
cited popular interest to an intense degree, nor
that the inquiry as to the accuracy ofthe report
should be general on oil sides.
We were ourselves among the most sceptical
Of the community as to the correctness and We
raciousness OF the information received by the
government. We have been 80 long accus-
toned to hear this flibustero movement spoken
Of as being on the very eve Of execution, while
we were well aware of the insuperable dill
ficultics with which 1t is invested, that we
felt perfectly confident that the government
must have been duped by some alarmist pre-
tending to an intimate acquaintance with the
plans Of the Cuban revolutionists However,
as the matter was one Of such signal import
ance to the country, we determined to find out,
ifpossible, how true the story was; and for this
purpose we commissioned one Of our reporters
to make inquiries from sources likely to be best
informed on such subjects.
The report Of our attachk confirms our first
impressions. Such of the authorities as he
could see yesterday-it being holiday in most
Of the public ofIices--were utterly ignorant OF
the existence Of band of Cuban invaders in
this city or of the projected departure Of any
armed expedition from this port. All tbcy
knew was-what our readers are already well
aware of-that number Of Cuban exiles In
this city have been for year or two past
formed into an association known as The
Order of the Lone STAR and that the objects
p,oposed w this society agc to scyo,a.,s-.,,za,

success Of which the publishers are proud.

the commencement of the undertaking. that "a
popular magazine must amuse, interest, and in
siruct." They have still undated g faith in the
oppuence Of our own native resources and they
appeal TO the experience Of the last six months TO
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete and may be

MAGAZINE FOR ,sa.-The

Ia
C sphere and the utility Of the EcLEcrc MAGA-
ZINE have become too well defined TO require ex-
planation Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying want which is widely and increas-
ingly felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton of the community, il fills place which could
be filed in other method than by the principle
of selection which il adopts. The great reviews
and magazines Of Great Britain and the Continent,
through which the leading minds Of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, TO express them
selves. are too numerous to be reprinted, as well
too costly to be imported by the general reader.
They contain likewise, much, with their desirable
articles, that has but temporary or local interest
| and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price time required to peruse it. To select
from the whole field of Journalism all that is really
valuable. both the graver dissertations and discus
sons of the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile. contents of the magazines, is the pur-
pose of the EcLEcTIc. The best parts of all are
the local or feeble parts of any The main portion
Of the EcLEcTIc will continue to be composed of
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly of Great Britain.
will be carefully presented. richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be FURNISHED than the
contents OF any single periodical could afford
Embellishments of the highest order of subject
and engraving will occupy each number. Among
these will be richly engraved portraits of the
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
nature, art craftsmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIy who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint.
TERMs.-The Eclectic Magazine is issued on the
first Of every month, in numbers Of III large Svo
pages each, on fine paper. making THREE VOLUMES
year with title pages and indexes. Price SIS per
year, il paid strictly in advance-otherwise SO.

edgments to the press and the public for the ex-
traordnary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts to interest and instruct the great body
of the American people. and to renew their as
surances that every possible effort will be made
increase still further the claims OF their maya
zine upon public favor and support. 1t will con-
time 10 present, at the cheapest price, the most
interesting and instructive literary matter, original
and selected, domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient STYLE and accompaniedby

penditure of money can command. They appeal
