Btartling Intelligence from the South—Pro- Jeeted Revoiution tn the Island of Cuba— Armed Expedition Fitting Out, the United States—Prociamatien of the Pre- sident. The highly important intelligence which we eommunicated to the public a few days since, in relation to a grand movement at New Orleans, and other points in this country, having for its ob- Ject the fittixg out of un armed expedition, to be employed in effeeting a revolution in certain pro- vinces of Mexico or Cuba, has just been confirmed in the most emphatic manner. We received yes- terday, by telegraph, and published in our evening edition, the following important proclamation, by the President of the United Stat THE PROCLAMATION. ‘There is reason to believe that an armed expedi- ‘tion is about to be fitted out in the United States, with an intention to invade the Island of Cuba, or some of the provinces of Mexico, The best information which ‘the Executive has been able to obtain. points to the Island of Cuba asthe ehject of this e ition. itis the of this government to observe the faith of treaties, and to prevent any aggression by our citi. wems upon the territories of fri ndly nations.

TAYLOR, . M. Crayton, Seoretary of State, In all quarters where thie document was seen by the public, the effect was quite startling. Prepared as the community was, in some degree, by the in- formation furnished them in the columns of this journal, with regard to the remarkable movement thus formally denounced by the Executive at Washington, the official confirmation of the truth of that information came upon many like a thun- derbolt. Before mght the news had epread like wildfire throughout the crty, and formed the all- absorbing topic of conversation, inquiry, and con- jecture. As for ourseives, we had not for amoment Jost eight of the matter, from the hour on which we firet received an i ation of the movement, and, therefore, this proclamation did not at all take us by surprice. Yet we must conf we were a little astonished to find that the cabinet at Wash- Ington are evidently a good deal in the dark with | respect to the true character and objects of the movement which they thus deprecate and denounce. The language of the proclamation is very loose and indefinite. It speaks vaguely of the fitting out of an armed expedition for the purpose of * invading the iskend of Cuba, or some of the provinces of Mexico.” [tis obvious that the information in possession of the government is somewhat in- definite ; ours is more preciee, and we shall now proceed to lay it before the public. ‘The armedexpeditions, as they are styled, alluded to in the proclamation, are intended to aid im re* volutioniving the Island of Cuba. That is their e@bject—their sole object. The movement has been Jong contemplated, and originates not in this coun- try, but in Cuba iteelf. it has been set en foot by a number of the mest influential and wealthy planters in thet islend. For years, the leading Creoles of Cuba have been oppressed by an anxiety to deliver themselves from the Spanieh yoke, and, at the same time, prevent the possibility of the island talling into the, hands of Eng!and—a result which has been repeatedly threatened. The fate of Cuba hes, indeed, been most uncertain fora considerable length of time. For almoeta century and a half Spain has been convulsed by intestine quarrels and difficulties. She now sits, a poor imbecile among the nations of the earth, holding Geba in a palsied grasp, from which, at any mo- ment, it moy be liable Posseased of all the elements of great prosperity, this island, in | eonsequence of the corrupt and despotic system of | gevernment to which it is subjected, has been res duced to a state of gfeat depression, shorn of its strength, and been obliged to lag far behind in the greatmarch of commercial prosperity. All this has, from year to year, been exciting serious re- fleetions in the minds of the wealthy and influen ™* men of Cuba; and we now see the first fruits | em -Aections. | j to be torn. | | In one Wor. 4 revolution has been resolved upon ga Cuba, and those » the bottom of th have gone to work like u~ emined men OF six months past, egents of the ceyoh Guba have been engaged in enlisting cn wepyieus of cinzens of the United States, t0 cid them ia | movement Por five ntiontsts of | their efforts to become free and independ: Severe] officers of the volunteer portions of our army, who were engaged in the war with Mexico, | from Nicaragua.

It 18 no invasion of Cuba, in which these citizens of the United States are to be called on to engage, They simply give their services, as they have a perfect right to do, in aid of this revolutionizing movement; and in doing so, they violate none of their obligations as citizens of this republic, or compromise in any manner the honor of this gov- ernment. In Cuba, the progress of republican principles The sons of the wealthy planters have almost all, for years past, received their education in the United States, and have thus become thoroughly imbued with liberal i les. An unconquerable determination to substitute free government for the present vassals age to the crown of Spain, has obtained possession of the opulent classes. The first blow strack in the revolution will be the signal for a tremendous and irresistible up-rising of the influential masses -f the island. Five hundred armed men from the United States, under competent leaders, would probably suffice to make the work of revolution complete. The military force on the island amounts to seventeen thousand men, of which nine thousand are in Havana. It is believed that the fidelity of a great portion of this force is by no means certain. The Captain General himself entertains serious doubts on that subject. Not long since, a formidable in- surrection broke out at one of the fortresses on the island, and several soldiers were shot. But the spirit of insubordination is unchecked, and only awaits an opportunity to manifest itself in the most formidable manner. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of planters who are in readiness to con- tribute abundant pecuniary means to eflect the revolution, and anxiously await the commence- ment of the movement for independence and hberty. ‘There cannot be a doubt, then, as to the fact that the most decided steps have been taken to effect a revolution in Cuba. These steps have been taken with remarkable prudence and sagacity. Large sums of money have been already expended in the enterprise. Arms and munitions of war have been purchased and shipped to a well selected rendez vous. A formidable body of men has been collect- ed and organized beyond the limits of the United States, and awaits the appropriate moment to strike the decisive blow. All this has been effect- ed with great secrecy and most skilful management. In the island itself, the revolutionists have proceed- ed with equal judgment and determination. Itis Impossible to exaggerate the intensity of the desire which animates the Cubans who are embarked in this revolutionary movement, to shake off the iron despotism which now presses them to the earth. This 1s really one of the most important move- ments of the age. _ Its results, in connection with the prosperity and progress of the United States, will be of the utmost importance. It 1s well known that England has long had her eye upon Cuba. Great Britain has more than once demanded Cuba, either in absolute conveyance, or as a mortgage for the payment of the debts due her people ; and also to satisfy the claims she herself had for the expenditures made on account of Spain, in the struggle with Napoleon. During the administra- tion of Mr. Van Buren, the subject came formally before our government, and the then Secretary of State, Mr"Forsyth, was directed to communicate | with the representative of the United States, at Madrid, and impress upon him the fixed de- termination ef this government not to permit Cuba to be transferred to any other foreign power. There is no necessity for our enter- ing into details to show the paramount importance to this couutry of preventing Cuba from passing into the hands of any other government.

Somoso did not obtain much wealth sy this assault ; @ small amount only ot gold, silver, and jewelry, fell into his hands; but the total amount of property destroyed exceeded two millions. It 1s not possible that all the inhabi. tunts of the city were snerificed ; some must have escaped. ‘This terrible affair had aroused Munos, who had gathered a force of seven hundred and fifty regu lars, with whom he was advancing to meet Somo- £0, and it was expected that a battle between them, would take place on that day—the 8th ult. ‘The experience of Munosand the superior dis cipline of his troops, gives those acquainted with the country and the peeple, reason to believe that he will triumph over Somoso. It is stated to be the general impression in Ni. caragua, that the movements of Somoso are inftu- enced more or less by English agents. On the 9th of June, the Nicaragua government issued a proclamation, calling all citizens, from six- teen to fifty years of age, to arms :— Ast, To quell the anarchi al movements of Somoro. 2d. To maintain the territorial rights of Nicaragua over San Juan and its depen ies, er in the lan- fe of the proclamation, usurpation of Eng- & in the name of the Mosqu te King It is apparent thet England means to“frighten the Nicaraugans out of their nghts on the San Juan, and it will he necessary for the American govern- ment to take a decided stand in the matter. The morality of her course, in inciting the demi-savages under Somoso to act against the civilized classes of the State of Nicarauga, was only equalled by her actions in our own history, when she induced the savages to murder the unarmed citizens of the United States. The above intelligence is from one source. We learn, from another source, that England refuses to continue her subsidy to the Mosquito King; and that the English Consul, Mr. Christy, left San Juan, or what is now called Grey Town, on the 25th of June, in a British brig of war. ‘What 1s now on the tapis?
