New YORK. April 15.-Senor j. Valienta,
agent of the Cuban revolutionists, has issued an
address to the American people, in which, after
reciting the grievances the Cubans nave long
suffered under the civil and military tyranny OF
SPAIN and their previous disastrous attempts to
throw off the yoke, he says the revolution COM
menced on the 10th of October last, and has
steadily grown in strength, and promises to real
ize all the hopes of the patriots. The Cuban
Liberating Army has been gradually increasing,
notwithstanding the losses consequent upon
steady campaign, and now comprises some
forty-two thousand men, under Cespedes, who is
commander-n-chief OF that army, ana head OF
the republican government.
Their lines now run in westerly direction to
Sagua la Grande, without reaching the seaboard,
either north or south, for want OF the requisite
armament to hold it; but the territory pointed
ont is nearly two-thirds of the area of Cuba, in
which slavery has been abolished and in which
the Spaniards control only the ground upon
which they stand at bay This has been done by
the patriots in a comparatively short time not
withstanding their sad deficiency IN war
material and leads TO the belief that, If they
had been tolerably supplied with such
materials, their movements would now cover
also the remainder of the island where yet no
nprisinp has taken place, from utter want OF
arms. while their enemies are fully armed with
the best approved weapons OF the uhlteu oIatesi
but where are our neutrality laws, thaI tney

freely from our workshops 70 crush people
strugpling for freedom in the very heart OF
America. and prohibit the same people from
supplying themselves with similar liateIiat3 mate .3
