St. Domtypgo—Empire of Mayti—Repubite of Deminica—Mr, Green and the Cabinet. There has been considerable anxiety felt for some weeks past, in Wathingten, in reference to the | mission of Mr. B. E.

In fact, Dr. Brewster has had poses and plans—influencing the public miad to violate the laws, und taking all those steps which eould in any measure bring into action a body capable of perpetratiog such an act as the recent attack at Cardenas on the coast of Cuba. There is no doubt that the most perfect understanding existed between these individuals, as indicated by their own avowal ind in the recent movements pre- ceding the expedition to Cuba, After that expedi- tion had sailed from New Orleans, those persons were the first to give the public the first informa- tion of ite departure, and to hoist the * free flag of ; Cuba” from their own buildings, as the rallying point and centre of attraction for all their friends, aiders, supporters, conspirators, and violators of the law of 1818, to assemble. Of all these facts there can be no doubt. They were openly perpetrated by those persons—Moses Y. Beach & Co.—before the whole world, in view of all whochose to look on, either to deprecate, to admire, orto laugh. What is the reason that the conduct of these men, in utter violation of the laws, is permitted to pass unnoticed and to receive no at tention from the eabinet at Washington and the officers of the government in this city ? Has there been a collusion or secret understandiag between | certain portions or friends of the cabinet, and cer- | tain portions of the Cuba scrip-holdesrs, issued to | the amount of three miliions, and sold at the rate | | of ten cents on the dollar to all those who were fools enough to buy? Ia former days, Moses Y. Beach and family had become distingaished for financial operations in various country banks, lo- cated in several States of the country, The Jaek- sonville Bank was one of those funious institutions: the Lehigh Bank was another distinguished engine of paper patriotism ; but the last and most important was the Plainfield Bank, which, after seattering its promises to pay upon a deceived community, ex- pleded in fall, and an indictment was procured in New Jersey for one of its couductors--but he could not be found. These financial operations, how- ever, have been transcended by the recent brilliant exploits in the Cuba expedition, start’ di and seton foot by the sale of three miltons of Cuba serip, at the rate of ten cents on the dollur. | | } \ i i | We reiterate our enquiry—What is the reason } that the cabinet, and the egents of the cabinet in, this district, are so slow in ascertaining the real | rati- tof | originators and principal supporters of that cal expedition to Cub Look at the num! cheated, deceived, and unhappy individuals, from | various parts ot the South and West, returning to | the United States—cheated und imposed upon by | these who, for the last four yeers, have been hold- ing out ideas of revolution in Cuba, and the ulti- | mate possession and appropriation of that wealthy and prosperous island! Who have been the most active in circulating these idews!—in Coes | these false views, in opposition to the law? Moses Y. Beach, and his hopeful family, have been the f principal ‘promulgators of these views—the origi- nators of the expedi nd are amenable to the laws of the country for its results and violationa, as now presented to the pul Yet, with an impu- | dence unparaliele writing letiers to | Congress, to the Secretary of State, and tothe | Spe Minister, denying the plain and palpable | fucts connected with these movements, and their past connections with these affairs.

The evidence against these originators of the piratical expedition is plain | and palpable, and there is no diflicuity in perform: | ing their duty, if they intend to do itatall. But we doubt whether the eabinet means to earry into | eflect the laws of the country in reference to the vnprincipled and maranding expedition.

OUR KEY WEST CORRESPONDENCE. Kruy Weer, June 4, 1850. The Cuban Expedition—Interesting Perticulars—Arrival of the Saranac, Germantown and Albany—Exeiting Scenes ef Havana—The Anticipated Conflict between the American and Spanish Men-of-War. Whilst the papers of every section of the Union are teeming with statements and conjectures abeut Cuba affairs, as varied and apochrypbal as the veriest guid nunc could desire, a few words of truth and sober- ness from this point, to which the eyes of the friends avd the enemies of Cuba are now turned, may be interesting to your readers. General Lopez left here in the Isabel, en the night of the 22d ult. The Spanish war steamer Pizarro went to seas few hours previous, and the pilot who carried her ont, reported that he learned from her officers that would ley off the harbor, and put the General of Marines on board of the Isabel, @ passenger for, Charleston, Rumor at once circulated various stories, all going to show that the Isabel was to be boarded and searched for Cubs patriots d some partios here, who might well have assumed a higher tone for the inviolability of our flag, advised Capt. Rollins not to take Lopes, as the Isabel would certainly be over- hauled, fired into, and perhaps sunk. Rollins, however, is too old and gallant » seaman, and reposes too much confidence in the protection of our flag, to be readily alarmed by such mistaken coun- sels. Lopes himselt regarded the supposed peril with that air of peculiar Regie ve which tinges all his feelings towards Cuban authorities. A day or two after he left, warrants were issued by the United States District’ Court for the arrest of the supposed leaders, and several gentlemen are now in custody, ard required to find bail, each in the sam of $3,000: In view of the facts, that General Lopez was the head and front of the whole affair, and these parties but wecondary agents—that $3,000 fine, and three years imprisonment. are the utmost penalties fixed by the statute under which they are arrested; and that they are total strangers here, and without other hope of finding the required bail, than through the sympa- thies of the people of this Island, this bail is regarded here as excersive, Im default of it, they must of course go to juil. The Creole ix still held by the Collector, under the charge, 1 presume, of violating the passenger act of 1847. Captain Lewis has been arrested for violating ‘the first section of the same, and upon a motion to discharge him, his participation in the affair was fully heard and argued. No deciion bas yet been made, and he is still in custody. ‘The Baranac, = Tatnall, and the sloops Ger- mantown and Albany, Captains Lowndes and Ran- dolph, ure in port. You have already leerned that the Cuban authorities have seized, upon the high seas, near the coust of Yucatan, the American brig Sarah Loud. and bark Georgiana, with about fitty pere sons, including their officers and crews, and have them now in their possession, the prisoners being treated with the greatest indignities. These vessels wore chartered by the chiefs of the expedition, for a voyoge from New Orleans for Chagres, ‘They pro- ceeded on the yoyage; and near the Islands of Contoy snd Mugeres, their parsengers were taken out by the Creole, end they were discharged, there {remaining on Jboard the (bark twenty- nine passengers, with’ tickets for Chagres, who refused to juin the Cuba party. and were on theic homeward voyage. the brig for Boston and the bark for New Orleans, when they were taken by the Pizarro. it is said, aud this story was told by the Pizarro's officers here, tothe pilot, that these parties were re- garded by the Spauiards as pirates, and that ropos were placed around the necks of the vificors, who were choked for some minutes, under pretence ef compelling them to disclose their pias This cannot but be re- garded by every true AmeMtan heart as the grossest outrage which our flag has suffered for forty years— au culvage which cur goverament, we belive, Will not fail properiy to notice. The vessels. officers and crew, were iimocent parties—innocent even of any know- ledge ot the designs of their passengers; and the twen. ty-nine persons on board the Georgiana had embark- ed from New Orleans for Chagres, had refused to join the Cubans, and were on their return to the United |. They were, with the exception, it is believed, iti of the United States, But regard their is worst light:—Suppose they etarted, vessels to go to Cuba, and afterwards repented and returned; can the Cuban authorities assume to punish them for their intention’? Can they overhaul and search our vessels upon tho high sewe—discriminate and select from the American citizens on board, those whose views of the Cuban government may prove distasteful, immure them in thelr guardebips and dungeons, bjeet them to the tender mercies of pol There can be but one opinion upon this subject; and we are happy to know that our naval officers are Hong alive to the ingult inflleted upon us.

He did not, however, fall in with: the convoy, nor did the captured vessels go to Havana. —they having. ip all Probenuity, been ordered else where, to avoid a collision with our men-of-war, The captured vessels were afterwards ascertained to be the bark Gvorgiana and the brig Susan Louds. which, in concert with the Creole, had rendexvoused. at or pear the island of Contoy. A mumber of m: and arms were then transferred from the former to the latter, which she subsequently landed at Cardenas, tho captain of the brig accompanying the expedition, as pe, leaving bis vestel under the charge of his mate. ie subsequently testified that he was compelled to serve Contoy is a barren and uninhabited island, belonging © Yucatan, situated off Cape Cartouch, directly oppo- site and near to Cape St, Antonio, in Cuba, 4 a position from which an invading ferce eould, with. equal fecility, make a descent on the north er the south side of that island. Captain Tatnall lett Havana on the night of the 2th ult. and the coast of Cuba on the 27th ult, takin with him the Albany and Germantown, and ceded to Key West. where he arrived on the 28th ult., for the: purpore of looking alter the invaders, and to aid the autberities there, if it were necessary. Oo his arrival he found all quiet, the greater ‘t of the invaders having im various ways, leit the island. He there learned from the judicial authorities that, from depo- sitions made betore them, no doubt whatever existed. of the connection of the Georgiana and the Louds with the expedition. but that a partaf found on board had seceded feom the main body, eithor from a change of purpose, or from having been iim— posted upon in regard to their destination. Leaving the Albany and Germantown at Key Went, Captain Tatnall returned in the Saranse to Havana, on the 29th ult., having on board Judge Marvin, of the Federal Court at Key West, and Mr. Douglass, the, Collector of the Port, who accompanted him with a view to sequaint the Uaoited States Consul at Havana, fully with all the taets favorable to the prisoners. Jnan interview which Captain T. had with the Spa- nish authorities, in company with Judge Marvin, the latter unoficially informed them that the affidavits aade in bis court had establisbed the fact that the men referred to had refused to accompany the expedi- tion to Cardenas, and had, therefore, eomm! no aggression agin Cuba. The authoritles re that they were themselves somewhat of that and that their treatment of the prisoners corresponded with that belief—that the Sassi wire well housed and taken care of, and that after certain forms. which the laws rendered imperative, and whics applied equally to Spaniards, the United States Consul and thelr triends could have access to th Under there circumstances, and, above all, as the Spanish authorities in Cuba bave been fled by the United States Consul, acting i structions from the State Dey ment, that the Presi- dent intends to claim that the American taken at Contoy have not been “guilty of any erime for which. by the laws of civilized should one of them be unj suffer death,’ and that if pu nithed “it ‘may cost the two countries » war.” all apprehensions as to the safety of then misguided men may now be confidently 2 Intelligence. 8, Hoextixe Panx Counse—Waowespay, June 12.—Trot- ting—Purse $250, mile heats, best three in five, in har- ese D Bryant entered g. m.
