by some means or other their native land, and to

by some means or other, their native land, and to
put an end to Spanish domination there forever.
The existence Of this society, and the objects
it proposed to accomplish, have been long
patent to the world. and have only afforded
subject for just ridicule by the petty means
with they would accomplish 80 difficult an ua-
dertaking. Our reporter, not deriving much
enlightenment from his Investigations in this
quarter, visited the house OF one &C the
wealthiest and most influential of the Cuoaa
residents, who, from his well known sentiments
in favor OF his country's independence, and
from the active part he takes in the proceedings
Of the Junta, must have known better than
any other person whether the Information Of
the government was well founded In fact, il
the principal men involved in the enterprise
were to have been arrested, as our correspon-
cent states, the person visited by our reporter
would have been, most likely, the first to
whom the Uuited States Marshal would have
paid his respects. However, the gentleman
from our Office, who called on him last evening,
had the pleasure of seeing that he was in the
enjoy ment of his personal liberty, and had also
the qualification Of learning that neither he
nor any OF his compatriots felt the slightest
apprehension Of being arrested for viola
tion Of the laws of this country. He assured
our reporter that no portion of an expedition,
so far as he was aware, had recently sailed or
was about to sail from New York or New Or
leans to invade Cuba, and that the information
received by the government to that effect was
grossly erroneous. He did not attempt to con-
ceal the fact that some Of the principal men Of
the Cuban Junta were endeavoring to raise
funds and procure sympathy and support from
the American people in favor Of revolutioniz-
ing the island Of Cuba; and he entertains the
pleasing hope that their efforts win one day be
crowned with success.
The only symptom that we conld discern yes
terday of the projected invasion was the appear
ance in Broadway of fine looking military
company, about one hundred and fifty strong
marching to the Jacobite air Of the White
Cockade. and under the banner OF the Lone
Star---the revolutionary emblem of Cuba. This
really splendid looking company is enroll
ed under the title Of 'the Rynders' Gre
nadiers," from which we would infer that
they have been raised by OF in hoaor Of
the redoubtable captain who figures so con-
spicuously betimes in Tammany Hall. But
as they were to have been reviewed by our
worthy Mayor in front Of the City Hall-and
only missed that honor by their own want OF
punctualisy, and the unwillingness Of our SEN
sible chief magistrate to remain waiting for
them too long on such cold day-we may
safely set it down that they have not rendered
themse Ives liable to penalties for such an infac
ton Of the constitution as an illegal invasion
of Cuba. To be sure there was something sus-
picious in the fact that they were accompanied
by some thirty or forty Creoles as guests; but
this simple circumstance is too slight to impli-
cate them in the serious offence respecting
which the government has received the infor-
nation in question.
On the whole. therefore, we think we may
safely assume the responsibility Of stating that
this information was, at oil events. premature.
The Cabinet may rest quiet for awhile on that
head, and devote all their care to the kitchen
politics at Washington, the popular mind may
resume it's ordinary serenity, and Captain
General Pezuela need not be violently alarmed
as to any immediate estoppal being put upon
his hopors and profits from this quarter When
the Cuban Junta has been able to raise funds
for the prosecution of the enterprise we shall
give due notice thereof to all concerned; but
until that remote time We would advise all
parties to keep COOL
