Still more rumors of Cuban Expe-
di,ions. The New York Herald's
Washington correspondent writing
from the latter place of date the 18th
ulto., says
We are enabled TO state that the
Government has received information
which they deem Of a reliable charae-
ter, that formidable expedition has
been organized, and is about sailing
from New York and New Orleans, for
the purpose Of landing in Cuba, with a
view to the independence ofthat island.
The expedition is represented as being
il such state Of forwardness as to
render it probable it will sail within a
few days.
Orders have been dispatched from
here for the immediate apprehension
Of the parties said to be implicated in
the movement. Ii is believed BY well
Informed persons, however, that the
Efforts of the Governments in this re-
spect may be a little too late, and that
portion of the expedition will, at all
events, get away.
