The undersigned believes it his daty, before of- fering to the consideration of your /xxeetleney the facts which have been elicited, and the documents that have been collec » to the affair, to record here, that fo two years some Spaniards, compelled w tke refage in the United States, in order, some to escape the punishment which they merited for their crimes; and others to avoid the sions of the police, began to serve as @ pretext, or rather were chosen by some speculators in this Country to represent a political party, Which should regularly organize the projects of rebbery and rapine Which they had conceived in their overheated inegiaations Among the ele- ments necessary for the success of an enterprise of this kind, they count) d on the portion of adven- turers, who, in the recent war oi the Union with Mexico had enjoyed the easy life of a campaign, which, without many dangers or toils, farnished voted them appreciable waVantoge also on that numerous aod tion, proceeding frem Euro Union, where among the uw seek the shelter and sustens labor, which they cannot pr With the mony emigrants for ral Cxuses are seen confounded not a few state with enormous cil or climinals guvity of scandalous frauds, or others stecped in every Vice, whieh prepares them they t daily im: our neighboring lupate persons who y means of their a Warope ; and to embark im any enterprise that gives promise of luere or profit. In order to form public opinion there was estab- lished @ periodical, puoished 1m Spanish and Eng- lish, of dimensions as diminutive and merit as searce as were the talents and resources of the new propagandists. In this periodical were cireu- dated, with impudeut prrseveran the grossest calumnies against the principal authorities of this island, pr enormous taxation, wend im a state of effervescence and general discontent. These gratuitous and ridiculous accusations, and t thoois con- » cerning the oppressions, calamity discontent which impelied it to desire a ation from Spain, soon fo an echo in the other newspapers of our neighboring Union. Itis known that for some time the most bitter rivalty bas existed between its Northern and Southern provinces, and in order to divert their attent end to give pre-occupation, the malig- nant tomer was circulated that such was the dis- gust preve ling in Cubs, thatitouly awaited the first Opportunity, or any aio that a point of assistance, or rendezvous might furnish, to constitate itseif_a republic, and annex itself to the United States. On this fantastic plap, doubtless, many of the deluded people of the South have dreamed, believing that in it they had found the most expeditious means of acquiring that preponderance over their rivals to which they aspired. The project of an expedition against Cuba, ge- neral among adventurers greedy gold, acquired consisiency, and almost « certainty of speedy re- alization up t at period When the ilustrious Pre- sident ef the ed States believed himself obliged to issue the proclamation made known tothe world on the 11th of August, 1549, in waich, afier bring- ing to mind the duty ef observing the faith of trea- tied, and of preventing any aggressions by the citizens cf any eountry on the territories of friendly nations, he ceclared thet no one who should take part in the expedition, could rely on the interven- tion of the American government in his behalf, to whatever extremity he night be redaced in conse- quence of his conduct and the enterprise ia which he was engoged. in consequence of this, the expeditionaries as- eembled at Round Island were obliged to disperse; but the speculators and ober heads of the project, although they had to yield for the time, glorie afterwards in having continued their iniqaitous preparations, with more experience and caution, until they circulated with protusion, bonds payable in Havana, and made « division of the property ia all the island. By the rise and fall of these bonds, the public is assured, fortunes have been mide, and large sume, payable ulso ia Havana, have been ofiered. About tive haodred men were subsequeat- fy assembled in New O:leans, under command of Don Narciso Lopez, some of them well advised, and others deceived by the promise of being taken to California. From New Orleans they sailed on three distinct days on board of the same two vee tele which his Excetleacy the Senior Command- wot General of station and its naval forces seized at Contoy d om the steamer Creole, the only one which arrived at Cardenas, the soil of which chosen for the dixembarkation was stained with those crimes which are evident to all. It is notorious that afew hours afterwards the expedi- Henaties were compelled to re-embark, being de- feated by the small force which at the first notice hastened to repel them This unexampled aud uncalled for attempt, pro- duced in this feithful *Aaulla” a general cry of indignation, whose echo has made itself heard in the English Parliament and in the capital of France. But the auditor, in his capacity of magis- trate, will lay aside these notorious facts, in order to occupy bimeelf with wll the impartiality and calmness that the law requires, with the eireum- stances developed on the inquiry, and will con- elude with proposing to your Excellency the course which seems mest consistent with justice. From the five paris ot 504 poges, the bie example of labor ppears ‘d Georgiana Lincumbily, one els seized at Comtoy, left New Orleans on the 25ch of April of thus year, cleared for Cha- ges, with provi * wud passengers ; on the 27th she arrived at the Balae, and during the night re- sevived froma fishing boat several donee, which were ta52 * conttis Mechinwry, bat which it thea appeered held arms avd mavitions. These being received, she put to ses, andin nine or ten days anchered at the island or “ae of Contoy, where the paesepgers twice disembarked, with their arma, wg themeeives in exercising, returning af in to the vessel, which made sail for the island of Mugeres, taking as pilot one of the fish- ermen who were met Contrary wiads prevented them from ornving at the designated pviat, aad i been by these and the currents driven ir reveral days, they returned to Contoy, y or two the stenmer Creole arrived, with on unknown fing. which they call the Cabin.

Of these forty-two pa-sengers, ouly the ene named A.B. Meore has confessed that he embarked at New Orleans, knowing the true object of the expe », of which he formed # part a8 commissary, vider of subsistence, Wuh the rank of cap joreover declared that the night be- fo is departure on the je, he was present at a secret meeting at which afluirs relative to the ex- pedition were discussed; aod among other subjecis that of the reinforceny nts which were to follow an- der command of the U.S. Gen, Quitman. The for- ty-tWo remaining passengers have in their declara- tions, persisted in declaring that they undertook the voyage with a view of going to Chagres and Cali- fornia, and that when they discovered on board that the true object of the expedition was an attack oa the island of Cuba, they refused to follow it; on which account they were left at Contoy, ia order that they might return to New Orleans. From the letters end papers seat by the most ex- cellent Sr. Commandant General of the squadron, taken when the vessels were seized, * and | from the papers found in the room of Capt. Simeon Pendleton, of the brig Susan Loud, * * it ap- | pears thatin New Orleans and various other points | ne United States, adventurers had atfilia could have periodicals to defend them, nor find generals and judges to degrade themselves so far as to aseociate with them, and to wish to partici- pate in the fruit of their suck and rapive, destruc- tive peculiarities of the so-called expedition of Lopez—an expedition which, no doubt, will form an era in history, inasmuch as it was, a8 has been said, organized in e friendly country, saitiog from one of its ayn for the purpose of murder, aad robbing io the territories of a friendly nation ; while there floated trom the building of a printing esta- lishment, in one of the most public streets of New York, a flag covered with emblems and colors, which was designated as the Cuban banner, and me identical with that brought to Cardenas by In the puniehment of the new species of piracy invented by some speculstors in our neighboring republic, and headed by Lopez, the other nations of the world, without regard to hemisphere or flag, are found interested on the side of Spain; because, in the same manner that Spain was attacked ea the 19th of May, in the port and at the town of Cardenas, to-morrow, under the same or similar pretexts, Great Britsin may be assaulted in Ca- nada or Barbadoes, France in Guadalupe or Mar- tinique, Holland in Curacoa, Denmark in St. Thomas, Sweden in St. Bartholomew, the Spanish American republics in any part of their territories, and, in one word, any other nation without excep- | tion. It is not necessary to prove that the marme tri- bunals, to the exclusion of all others, have juris- d | diction over corsaira, prizes, piracies, or any other themselves together for the purpose of invading th island of Cuba. 1c appears from these pipers th the expedi ries formed companies, with their respective officers, and that they offered to each | one of those enlisted, belonging to the class of pri- | vates, from one to four thousand dollars per aanum, beajdes the eight dotlars per month from the day of sailing; and tothe officers, ninewen to twenty thousand dollars more salary, according to their | respective rapk. On pages 224, ce. uppear the original testaments of some of the adventurers, ia which they devise and dispose of the goods which | they expect to obtainin Cuba. Oa page 440 is found | the eriginal commission es lientenant of cavalry, in favor of John Herbert, signed by a Hisell, in the so- calied headquarters of the liberating army of Cuba, | incenformity with the authority vested ta him by appointment of Gen. Narciso Lopez, General-in- Chief of the same army, In this document it is also expressed, Herbert shall be appointed second heutenant of cavelry, with the pay and houors cor- respending to the said reuk, ead #uthorizing hun to reciuat_ and bring to the city of New Orlevns, the | greatest number of volunteers for the cavalry that was possible, destined for the squadron of the said Hiei. The said volunteers were to furnish them- selves With arms, the vaine of which was to. be made good to them in Cuba, and, moreover, they were to receive at the termination of the cam- paign, $1,000, or an equivalentinlands. The pay of the ers Was to be in land or money, accord- ing to their rank, not losing, in ease of death, their Tight to these recompenses, which were to be reli- giously delivered to their legitimate heirs. Itis also expressed in this ncteble document, that be- sides the suid bounty, the officers and soldiers weré | to receive, according to their rank, salaries equiva- lent te those which were paid to the volunteers in the Mexican campaign, payable by the Paymaster General of the army of Cuba, wherever (he said | funds may be collected, and due from the day of enlistment. From page 497 to 504, is a printed bio- | graphy of D. Narciso Lopez; and on pages 419, We., three copies of the printed prociam «ions which were distributed on the steamer Creole, the | day after leaving the mouth of the Mississippi ‘This biography or historical resumé of the fife of Don Nareiwso Lopez, full of mistakes and inven- tiens to elevate him to the character of a valiant and recoguized hero, full of merit, adorned with | ail the virtues, will show bis grevt influence among the internal population of this land, and prove that | for some years Lopez had formed the resolution of making it independent. In this biography it is said | that the movement wes to have commenced ia the | summer of 1848; but that being discovered and compromised by the government of this island, Lo- pez, to avoid be arrested, had to embark ona vessel cleared for Bristol, seeing himself, says the hero, obliged to take this step in order to avoid the sud fate which he and his friends would have indu- bitably encountered in a very few days’ struggle in arms, on which account he deterred the execution | of his project, which he had no doubt he could achieve with the greatest ease when the time for making @ voyage to Cuba should arrive, as his | great populanty, especially in the Department of | the Centre, assured the triumph from which would | result the success of his mission, which was to | emancipate Cuba from the odious yoke, says Lopez, of Spanish tyranny. lt indeed cerwin that the Capua General, in | ile of 1M8, having decreed the arrest of General Leypez, resideat of one of the in- terior towns of the island, he, abusing the good faith and generosity of the Senor Governor of Ma- tanzas, his ac ceceded in avoided going, on accouat of to the military commission Which was | d with trying him, by fleeing from the Ln of thot port. He, however, continued in his rebel- lien, and the sentence pronounced on the 234 of August, 1849, condemning him to death with loss of his employments, decorations, and digaities, was — in all the newspapers of this capital. oper then, as was to be expected, took refu; the United states, and swelled the number of the anarchists ; and, to his eternal » forgetting all that since his tenderest scabs he had owed to Spein, permitted himself to made chief of the ex,<dition, the preparations for which are indicated the above mentioned proclamation or manifesto 1th of August, 1549, on the appearance of followed the forced dispersion of the out- assembled at Round Island. It is notorious that the press of all shades in the United States and the newspapers of this capital, have spoken with more or less extension, since the beginning of April of this year, of the second in- vading Cuba ex; ition; that which disembarked at Cardenas. The principal ones who in it, #8 well by the revelations of the 1 docu- ments of isputable anthenticity, collected at the investigation and to be found in the fifth part, as % the ne pers, are the North American Judge mkney Snuth, ex-Senator Henderson, the jour- nalist Siger, O'Sullivan, O'Hara, Pickett, and it is not necessary to specify, mufficient to show that that expedition hes been got up, sustained, and was composed not only of common people, but also of men whose vocal position would lead them to avoid mixing in such enterprise; it being certainly astonishing and | unexampled enough that persons of this kind can find 4 civilized country in the streets of which they can go abroad with head erect avowing opinions and cesigns even the suspicion of which would not | be tolerated among any enlightened people. From pages 316 10 321, both inclasive, appears sufficiently established in the legal form which suffices in a proceeding of this nature, the consum- maticn of the attempt of the 19th of May lust, and the chimes committed by D. Narciso Lopez and hia | men after when they inveded the port and town of Cardenas, belenging to the territory of this ever faithfal delat They by force and arms deposed and im- ove | Contoy by half-past three o’clock on the morning | ed the crimes committed on the high seas; and, as the crime, or rather the succession of crimes, perpe- ated at Cardenas, unquestionably belong to the class of piracy, the vessels and persons seized at the marine tribunals, in accordance with legal arrangements in the matter, ought to be | judged according to our ordinances and ancient | laws. In accordance, then, with sovereign legal authority, the proceeding in which we are ovea- pied ought to be divided into two entirely distinct ts, are comprising the condemuation or abso- ution of the vessels according to the best and cre- dible means of ascertaining their destination and occupation, the decisioa of which, by arucle third of the royal order of June 20, 1301, belongs to the military uibunals ef the armada, which in this Cowmandancia General is formed by your Ex- cellency und the undersigned auditor; the persons being tried according w the forms established by the royal order of the Sth of January, 1830, as fur a8 it may be applicable to the present case. In order to decide on the fate of the Georgiana end Susan Loud, there exists data more than suf- ficient, in the report; since it appears, according to the evidence, that these vessels, although cleared from New Orleans with the apparent object of car- Tying passengers to Chagres, were occupied in tak- ing men, arms, previsions and ammunition to. at- tack the island of Cuba,which was proved by the disembarkation of Lopez and 500 men at Cardenas, where were perpetrated the crimes above men- tioned, and which port they entered on board the Creole. This vessel was cleared under the same pretextas those above mentioned. It happening thet though they left New Orleans on different days, they communicated on the high seas, and at Contoy; they transferred arms and mea from one to the other, in this way sho the connection of the » the island of M es being designa- ted #8 a point of reunion, the Georgiana could not, in spite of her efforts, reach there—she aceordingly returned to Contoy, where the Creole went for the men and arms which the Georgiaua took from New Orleans, at which point (Coaoy) she was after- wards joined by the Susan Loud. i2vem though what has been said suflices to suow the true object of the vessels, it will be well to transeribe liter- ally the document of page 295 to 253, which says:— “This expedition has been properly orgauized, s papers for Chegres have been given, so that in case any search should be made by the authorities, they could not do anything to us. We took on board our vessel at the mouth of the Mississippi, a quantity of arms, and when we were on the sea, there passed us in the night a revenue cutter, but they knew who we were, as all the world is in favor of the expedition. We are armed with a gun, short sword and two revolving pistols; the officers in the seme manner. e have all confideace in a successful issue. Gen. Lopez finds himself at the head of 500 of us, and if successful, we receive $4,000, and will thenceforth live securely.” It also wppears that the Susan Loud and Creole recognized cach other by the means of signals, whieh must neces: x’ have been agreed upon be- forehand; also, that during the night the: vie gated together, keeping their lights —_ , ia or der to remain united. And above all, it appears that in the leg-book of neither vessel are there ob- servations to correct the errors noticed; and it be- ing certain thet the Georgiana should have had the | t leense for the arms and munitions Which she tock on board at the Dalize, it is beyond all doubt, that according to article 20, and other corresponding ones of the royal) order of June 20th, 1501, they should be declared by your Exeeliency ood prizes, end confiscated to the benefit of the State, with all their apparatue, rigging, instro- ments, small vessels, provisions and arms found on board, belonging to the same—reporting the same to her Majesty, in order that they may be disposed of a8 seems best—uoless, in order to avoid the loss or detention which may result from awaitiag the sovereign reeolution, your Excellency ehoald pre- fer to sell them at public auction, or in any other menner that may benefit the Srate.

Whether the declaration of the forty-one remaia- ing passengers be true or false, either by the inves- tigation, or by military proceedings, or by carrying them a:bitrarily before a tribunal where more ex- tended evidence could be obtained from them, it is indubitable that nothing could be extracted from them which would disprove their assertions, and show that only fear the consequences of the crimes that were to be perpetrated at Cardenas, or the incapacity of the steamer to hold them, detain- them at Contoy.
