ARRIVAL OF THE ISABEL-wARLIKE MOVE
- - MENTs IN THE GULF.
The United States Mail steamship Isabel, Capt.
Rollins, arrived off Tybee Saturday afternoon win

The Isabel brought 90 passengers, 80 OF whom
were transferred to the steamship Augusta, hence
for New York. or Tybee. Learning that all YES

are nIsced in Quarantine Rollins brought his ship
up to this city yesterday morning, and the proba-
biltv is though we have no direct authority Tor
saving so. that she will sail between this port and
Havana until the quarantine in Charleston is re-
moved.
While the passengers were being transferred
from the Isabel to the Augusta, young lady, name

when she made a second attempt to destroy her.

1t will be seen by reference to the card of the

at the time of her sailing. s
The news from Cuba, by this arrival, is unlmport-
ant, though it will be seen by Cur Key West cor
respondence, that the movements OF our Gull
squadron are mysterious, if not warlike. The
Spaniards have at length recovered from their late
excitement in regard to the invasion OF the Island,
and the opinion obtains that the fllibusters have
given up all hope of Selling it, and have disbanded
in confusion. --sl

The marine arrivals have been numerous the
past fortnight. Quite feet of men-of-war and
merchantmen have entered the port, and the bar
Dor has presented an enlivened appearance. The
movements OF Com. McCauley's squadron are at
tracing much attention. and tho departure OF two
of the feet on cruises off the Cuba coast with eve
ryihinp about them in readiness for hostilties has
excited our suspicion that the orders to their COM
manders are of a wsrlike nature. The divisions
separating the ward-rooms from the gun deck were
taken down aboard the Jamestown, leaving the
whole deck clear for action. This is not usually
done except in time of war, and IN our mind, is q
sure sign that our relations with Spain in cr-
teal state. We would not be surprised to see the
Princeton or jamestown returning within week
with the Spanish vessel, the immediate cause OF
this difficulty, in tow and prize of war-tsken in
fair fight.
