Later from Cuba.-By the arrival of the United

journals from that city up to the 18th OF October:
The Diario de la Marina, Of the latter date,
comics a paragraph from another journal, denying
that there is any truth in rumors of new piratlcal
expedit,ons and threatening the vengeance the
government against those who were instrumental
in spreading such rumors, and thereby disturbing
public confidence and tranquility.
The same Journal in its issue OF the 9TH, has an
article headed, Reply TO the article OF the Times
sfondon) of the 10Th of August, on the question OF
slavery in Cuba.o We have read it over, and find
that, in the general bombastic style OF that Jour-
nal it means nothing, and is not intended TO mean
>tything. The Diario is convinced that the ma
CIV of the English people do not participate in
IT, 90, ,iments of the Times and laments that the

Of convalescence. II is said that she has been i'm

repairs have cost large sum. She will be sent 10

much needed. II is not probable that any further
attempts will be made to adapt her for any pur-
pose in the navy. There is pending claim for
salvage on the Saranac, on the part OF the owners
of the steamboat which went TO her assistance
from Savannah, while humping on the bar.
