TIoN or CONGREsS-HIs PLANS UFFERNGs OF

DESCENT UPON CUBA.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1855.
Col Colt left here very soon after the defeat OF his
bill. He took the action Of the House upon It much
more kindly than his agents and friends Of the lobby
who got him into the scrape. Upon hearing the final
vote he said, at il right; and the fact is, l an opposed
to all this monopoly legislation myself; but my afec-
tionate friends manifested such deep concern In my be-
hall a. to be perfectly irresistible Col. Colts speciai
agents, ex-senator Jere. Clemens, Mr.. Lawyer Dickerssn,
and others, on the other hand, are discor solate, and
could only be temporarily conforted by q first
class oyster supper, garnishsd With champagne an Sc.
gars. The poor newspaper correspondents, who ex-
pected to bag SO much in various ways, some in kid
gloves and perfumery, and other articles Of French
byonterie $50 indispensable to the LADIES', some in re-
volvers, some in cash, some in fancy stocks, and what
not, win never get over it. They are done with Egerton.
Col. Colt, in the meantime, has gone of to New York to
make preparations for such an increase of his pistol fac.
tories rs VIII bring him in a million dollars q year. He has
now an immense factory at Hartford, Conn.,, and . still
larger one in London; and he is resolved to prove his
neutrality in this European war by furnishing all the
belligerents with the same six shooting pistols. To this
end he proposes establishing a factory respectively IN
France, Austria, Russia and Prussia, and probably one

chinery and the secrets required in the manufacture Of
his reyolvers, which no patent can give or take away,he
Is confident that his pistols viii be preferred to all imita-
tions, from Nicholas and Napoleon down to Bill Poole and
Tom Flyer.
Alvarado Hunter 10 soon expected kere to join the
Kinney expedition, which has not bsen knocked in the
head BY Marcy's manifesto, as many suppose II to be.
The Kinney volunteers are willing to risk the outside
chances, suspecting, As they do, that after passing by
tack about, turn their backs upon the Mosquito coast,
and make all sail fer the Eastern end Of Cuba, six hun
dred miles from Havana and the body of the Spanish
troops. By this movement they count upon . success
full landing, and such q revolutionary rising az will
enable them to march triumphantly from the
Eastern to the Western extremity Of the Island,
gathering strength as they 60, like a rolling snow
ball. The Quitman organization, and the alibustering
juntas in New York and New Orleans, are said to DO
branches Of the kin ney expedition, which is to pioneer
the way. The treasury Of the 6iibusters at New Or
leans, we learn, Is able to command At any time a mil
lion and q half Of money, and that all concerned are
preparing for a terrible surprise to General Concha.
You win have perceived that he IL alarmed, and IL on
rolling the m~ulattoes, and making all the usual prepara-
tons for repelling an impending isvasion. English and
French vessels OF war are also mysteriously increasing
at Havana and that neighborhood. It is reported that
George Law IL to supply the invading expedition with
muskets adapted to the ball and cartridge Of the Mimic
rife.
