Thege now little, IL any, doubt that the Cuban
expedition which left this port on Saturday night,
unde, command OF Colonel Ryan as reported in ihe
HERALD OF sunday last is safely Out at sea on its
way 10 The Ever Faithful Isle" aud entirely beyond
the reach JarisictioD OF Marshal Barlow
Or his host of deputies. Some OF the
city papers have taken hold OF very
acnte line OF argument in the matter, aud, whe
coneeding that several tugboats went down the
bay on Saturday night unchalenged by the revenue
cutter clam that because the vessel to which the
men on board the tugs we're transferred was not
caught by the government vessels, no such vessel
could have sailed. There is no doubt that about
500 men actually left New York. Hoboken and Elm
Park staten Island with the intention OF sailing for
Cuba, and the only refuge they could have taken, If
tbey were intercepted by United States vessel be-
fore passing Sandy Hook, would be in Raritan Bay
OF the KIN Won Kull. II VIII be acknowledged that
$50 men cannot be hidden under hat, and in
bay no larger than the bay OF New York, and the
riOus ne;s and coves which surround 1t, all OF
which are thick ~ clustered by sailing craft OF every
description t would be equally strange II they could
lie concealed for thrysix OF forty hours after their
presence suspected, and more especially 80
when several revenue cutters presumed TO be not
