Some of the-new Cuban bonds, issued by
the Cuban Junta, have teenSreceiyed
here from New Orleans. Whey do hot
differ materially from tae ola ones put
forth by Lopez, and a copy of which was
published IN the LptcHsgence7, but are
signed by General John A. Quitman,
Commander-in-Ch Chief; Casper Betan-
court President of the Junta at New
Orleans ; and JohusSe Tfashef, as Sec

nominations, from $50 mp. General
Quitman arrived IN New Orleans on Fri.
day, the 10th, for the purposeoftaking
command Of the invading army, and It
was expected would leave there within a
week.
Private letters from Cuba assert
that. the men arrested in Havana have
no connection with the Quitman expedi-
tion.n
They seem to be very active in the
island. New 0rieans.papers of Moqday,
containingtthe details of the1 HaHAna
news up to the 15th, have been received.
The Gazette of the 18th publishes a de-
cree by Gen. Concha for the purpose of
taking ~effectual measures to defeat pir-
atical expeditions now preparing in va
rious parts of the United States against
the island. BY the decree, the whole
island isdeclared In a state of siege, and
subject to martial lazy; the coast declar-
ed to be blockadedSB W the navy of Her
Most Catholic Majesty. Every vessel
desiring to enter the port will be requir-
ed to exhibit her papers, and wiz be
scrupulously examined. VESSELS sfi-
wing filed with people are edAsidered
suspicious from that fact alone /; if tk6r
papers are yegular and perfect, they will
