HAVANA, July T. 1862
There are no class of men who have better ap
recation OF Talleyrand's famous saying, Language
ras invented to conceal our thoughts" than the
pansh officials. Their words are therefore no cr
trlon by which to Judge OF their opin
ins and intentions. We're the contrary the
lct, the new Captain General would seem
ke to follow in the footsteps OF his
predecessors, in the matter Of dealing with the IN
srrection, for he talks in the same nonsenscal and
tOlish way. Instead OF admitting in manly, open
My, what everybody knows and what even the
Sanish journals here concede, that the Cuban
frces are made up of thousands OF well armed men,
rder bold and experienced leaders, holding In their
possession the greater portion Of the territory Of the
hand, In obedience to government OF their own
ceaIion. and capable OF holding their own against
to Spanish troops and generals in fighting
ad in strategy, he talks OF the tmpOtency
othe insurrecton of its being reduced to detached
Dnds kept together for the purposes OF destruction
AID other words Of like import, such as flied the
mouth OF Dulce up to the moment when the volun-
tiers of Havana, realizing their falsty and the at
tempt to practice upon them, rose and drove him
frpm the island.
Meanwhile he announces a continuance Of the Wig.
