The Operant Castle Garden, Last night, brilliantly crowded were the Vast ares and Ralleries of the old Castle to bear “La Scunambula.” ‘The floor presented an array of beauty, fashion, and taste delightfully inspiring, while the vast circular | balcony was filled with a delighted and animated throng | ready to do homage to the talent and genius employed | in the interpretation of Bellint's lovely music. ‘The | opera “La Sonnambula” has held, for many years, | slmost unrivalled sway over the audiences of New York, Firet made captivating by the genius of the great Eng- | consideration that the #eattered forces of the go ‘ish vocalist, Mrs. Wood, by Mr. Wood, and Mr, Brough it has always bad # popularity second to that of no other comperition—and, indeed, with great artists must ever be Successful. The Amina of Bosio has now presented us with & series of delicious impressions which will ever remain | dilightful memories. Nothing could surpass the adini- rable stylo of ber vocalization during the evening, and to our taste, she was the bright partioular star of the night. She appeared to be more in earnest than her lover. particularly in the first wet; for Salvi sang with the | smallest voice porsible till the close of tho act, and, oven | then, he failed (o awake that epthusiasia which the music suggests, ‘The laurel was won by Bosio, who sang with her full voioe, and with a real purpcre, eulvi resrved himself for the remainder of the opera, and hore he made hin self conspicuous by his animation—in his. melodies, par- ticularly, doing justice to Bellini. Of course, the weak- ness of the recitative marred the pure effects of which the music is capable. but the nudience were in raptures, aud seemed determined to protract their applause to the last strotch of perseverance, Shouts thundered to the roof, and the whole scene was one of excitement and de light. Borio, too, gained a series of plaudits almost un. Precedented at the Caetlo, and was in triumph from fi to last, @ostini was quite acceptable, also; and Marini, as the Count. was encored snd applauded by the vast assemblage. To-night, we are to enjoy the “Ernaai’? with that magnificen: tenor, Bettini, whose voice, fresh, pure, and strong, sweeps the chords of tie human heart with masterly passion and power, and whose triumphs Will yet be the theme of every tongue alive to trao musd- cal expression. | The inuwical taste of New York as not done itself credit with this vocalist, so wonderful and so superior in his style to most of his cotemporarios in Europo. With him, we may hope for a great treat, par- ticularly as Truffi and Marini ae to share in the vxer- tions of the evening. THE CUBA REVOLUTION. Additional Advices by the Isabel, OUR SPECIAL DESPATCHES. The Extent of the Reported Risinz, Bit., Cr., Sie, We havo received a portion of our papers and correspondence, brought by the Isabel, at Savan- nah. Owing to some delay south of Washington the whole of our mails failed to reached us. We have conversed with an American morchant of the first reepectability, who left Havana on the afternoen of the 22d inst., and who has como on from Charleston. He states that the extra of the Fanal, of Puerto Principe, dated the 17th of July, | ad been received at Havana on the 224, by which it appears that two small partios of insur- gents had taken up arme—that they were promptly defeated, and sued for a pardon, which was granted by the Governor of Puerto Prinsipe ; that on the 7ib of July the most perfect tranquillity prevailed at that place; that no desertion of Spanish troops had occurred ; and that, in a word, all the reports published in the papers of the United States have been fabricated, to decoire the public, by the par- tizans and abettors of the revolutionists in Cuba aad in the United States; that no excitement or apprebension whatever existed at Havana, and that | the whole affair did not amount to more than a riot. | ‘This is on the authority of a gentleman last from that island. _ All the letters and extracts that we can find room for, containing any news from Cuba, are annexed. Our intention is to give all sides, and to show that the recent evonts in that island were fully expected by the “patriots.” We give the following letter from New Orleans, which we find in the Memphis Eaglo received yesterday :— New Onrxans, July 7, 1801. ‘The Cuban liberators are just now in great spi rite, and openly boast that an event wil! soon take | place hice will antoolsh the world. Rumoré are | plentiful enough a# to what this event is to be, but the secret is kept too woll for the public to learn anything more than generalities. Gen. Lopes still | remains in the city, though he keeps himeelf very | private, and rarely ventures abroad during the day. | it is enid that intelligence has been received through | private advices that a spirit of disaffection is rapidiy spreading throughout the island towards the present euthorities, Gud that the insurgents threaten to | commence the revolution unaided and alone, if Gen L. will not hurry over to take command over them. I learnt this much from # Cuban who is ou terms of close intimacy with Gen. Lopes, and who onght to be well infortoed on the subject; but I do not tay- self place implicit faith in any such representatioas, for all parties con is matter are so ean erned ia guine on the subject, that their statements are too often colored (though perhaps unconsciously) very highly by their hepes Our Cuba Correspondence.

In Holguin, the revolution was consummated without a blow.

The heavy cloud darkening on the horrizon of Cuban affairs is approaching us with the velocity of the whirlwind, and about to burst upon us with all the terrors of a West Indian hurricane. Spain is now reaping the consequences of her misgovern ment and partial administration of justice in all things connected with this island. The creoles , of Cuba have ever been looked upon as step- sons, by a cruel and haughty mother; debarred from entering into the army, not admitted into the navy, and prohibited from holding any em. ployment, with one or two rare exceptions, | whatever, under the government in their native | ieland, while at the same time taxed to the utmos, extreme, and looked down upon by the haughty officials from Spain as a people from whom every- thing was to be exacted, andas a source from which | they might restore their own broken fortunes. They have been goaded to desperation, by a line of policy on the part of Spain towards them so lit" | tle calculated to win the affection of these other” wire warm-hearted sons of Cuba. They have long meditated the overthrow of Spanish dominion in this island, and which is about speedily to be ac- complished. ‘The revolution commenced in the neighhorhood of Puerto Principe on the remarkable fourth of July, has not only extended itself over the whole eastern and contral divisions of the island, but is about to break out alvo in our division; and Havana itvelf, it ie positively stated, may be in insurrection before the week is out.
