No Tidings from the Spanish Army Sent to Attack the Invaders, OUR CUBA CORRESPONDENCE, Bier, Ser, See The city was thrown into a state of great excite- ment yesterday morning, by the arrival of the steamship Winfield Scott, Capt. Couillard, with in- telligence from Key West, that General Lopez had succeeded in landing on the shores of Cuba. This excitcment became intense, last night, on the arri- val of tho steamship Cherokee, with advices from Havana to the 17th inst., confirming the intelli- gence of the landing of Lopez, and bringing the ad- ditional news of the capture and ‘immediate execu- tion of fifty Americans who were a part of the invading force. This news, so shocking in some of its details, will be read with the greatest avidity. We will give the accounts, in the regular order, from the landing of General Lopez to the hour of the departure of the Cherokee. THE NEWS BY THE WINFIELD SCOTT. The Winfield Scott, after a wonderful passage yesterday morning. We learn from Capt. Couillard, Mr. Shed, the Purser, and Messrs. Taylor and Baker, passengers, that ten miles south of Key West, the Winfeld Scott was boarded by Mr. Curtis, messenger from acail boat, bringing with him a parcel which he called the small mail, which he left on board the W.S. This mail contained a letter from our Key West correspondent. The messeoger, an attaché of the Custom House or Pos Office Department, stated that the steamship Pampero, Capt. Lewis, came into Key West and anchored in the harbor on the 10th instant. After remaining several hours she left at eleven P. M., for the Cuba shore, with General Lopez, suite, and four hundred end fifty men on board. Onthe 12th inst., she returned, and prevent seizure.

Jacksonville is several hundred miles north of Key West, and.it would take four or five days for tho Pampero to go there and thence t» Cuba. She could not get back to the Cuba shore before the 19th or 20th. We are further informed that the United States West, was in a disabled condition, so much so that she would not be sent to sea for any practical pur- pore, especially in pursuit of the Pampero, a tast pasrengers. ‘up the reef” for their health, OUR KEY WEST CORRESPONDENCE.

The follow- ing arc the names of most of the leading men who arc supposed to have landed at Cubanos from the Pampero :— Gen. Narciso Lopes, the leader of the expedition, Col. J.

We learn from tho officers of the Winfield Scott, that the greatest excitement prevailed in New Or- leans. There were nightly meetings held, organ- izations going forward, drilling, &c.; and a strong confidence was expressed in the success of the movement. Two or three steamers were spoken of as about to leave with troops to assist the ingur- gents. The Now O:leans Commercial, of the 13th inst. says: Orders. we understand, have been received by the fe- deral authorities here, from Washington, to enforce strictly the neutrality laws against the Cuban expedi- tionists. The cutter Duane, said, has been red from the mouth ofthe South Weet Pasa up to Fort Jackson, where she will command every vessel going out, and is instructed not to let any pass that have not clear- apce papers. There are several young men here now from the Western States, who have oome down the river to embark for Cuba, and rumor bas it that negotiations are going on for a steamship to c: them, or that she bas Goon actually engaged. and is being fitted up. THE NEWS BY THE CHEROKEE. The Cherokee arrived last night from Havana, whence she sailed at 11 o’clock on ....--iay morn- ing, the s thinst. Our thanks are duo to William Whitney, Esq., the United States Mail Agent, and | Wm. W. Boyle, Esq., the Purser, for their kind- ness to us in our efforts to obtain the latest and most authentic intelligence. After the landing of General Lopez and his party, near Bahia Honda, as detailed above, fight- ing with the Spanish troops commenced; and a frightful slaughter took place, as near as we can learn, especially of the Spanish troops. The main bedy of the patriots, or invaders, were driven to the mountains, and the remainder took to boats and put to sea. These men were captured off Bahia Honda, forty miles west of Havana, by the steam- er Habanero. The patriots were in four boate, unarmed, and, report says, were steering for New Orleans. They were brought to Havana by the Habanero, on Saturday morning, the 16th inst., at 1 A. M., and placed on board a Spanish frigate, ly- ing in port, and executed at 11:5 A. M. of the same morning. After they were shot, they were dragged by the fect, by negroes, and then left to the mob, who commenced stripping them of their clothes and carry- ing them on sticks throwgh the streets, yelling like so many wild demons.

It was dangerous for an American to be in the streets alone at night. - . . ~ The Falcon steamship, while on ber way up th» | coast of Cuba from Chagres, was fired at three times, by the war steamer Habanero, and was obliged to heave too, and was boarded by the officers cf the Habanero. Alter the Falcon stopped, the officers of the Habanero cheered, as if they had geined a glorious victory, This is the third time the Falcon has been served the same trick.

OUR CUnA DesratouRs. Havana, August 16-45; P.M. - The Frightful Eacention of Pifly Americans in Havena Horrible Scenes—Inswit to the American Flag—Firing into the Steamer Fetcon, Iam too much affected to write to you more than to ey that I have this day boen witness to one of the most brutal acts of wautgn inhumanity: ever perpetrated in . the annals of history. Not content, this governmerit, in Tevenging themselves in the death of these unfortunate and, perhaps, misguided men, and which, it may even be raid, was brought upon themselves, but these Spanish authorities deserve to be most severely chastises| for their exceedingly repreteistble toriduct in permitting the de- secration, as they have done, of the senseless clay of our brave countrymen, This morning Forty Americans, One Italian, Four Irish, One Philippine Islander, One Scotch, Two Havaneros, and Two Germans, or Hungarians, were shot at 11 o'cloch—after which the troops were or- dered to retire; and some hundreds of the very vilest rabble and negroes, hired for the purpose, commenced stripping the dead bodies, mutilating their limbs, tearing out their eyes, cutting off their noses and fingers, and some of the peor fellows (privates) these wret shes brought to the city on sticks, and paraded them under the very walls of the palace. Ob, the very remembrance of the sight is frightful. with the fortitude these men displayed under such try- ing ciroumstances, They were shot six at a time, . ¢. twelve were brought to the piace of execution, six made to knee! down and receive the fire of the soldiers, after which the remaining six were made to waik round their dead comrades, and kneel opposite to them, when they also were ehot. After being strippe ', and their bodies mutilated in the barbarous manrer I have described, they were shoved, six or seven to- gether, bound as they were, into heatses, which were weed last year for cholera cases. No coffin, were allowed them; and I think the manner they were put into the hearses waa equaMy as dierusting as thair other acta; Lo RE a a gy on the greund, and it had more the appearsnce of @ slaughter cart on ite way to market from the slaughtes house, than that of @ hearse conveying the dead bogies of human belongs A fier locking set of young ment never aw, they made vot a sitgie ccmplafnt, nota my spur, againal their Fentenes, and decency should have oven shown to thelr dead bodies 2 admiration for tay petolem they ds | and trilers layed when brought out for execution. Not a muscle Wai teen to move, and Leo fh magnets the miserable rab- ble congregated to witners the horrid spectacle, that, it being the fortune of war that they fell into the of this government, they were not afraid todie. It would bave been @ it consolation to these poor fellows, as they r ‘asked, to see their consul, and. through him, to have rent thelr last adieus, and such little me- mentos as they had, to their beloved relations in the States One handsome young fellow desired that his ‘watch should be sent to his sweetheart. But Mr. Owens, the American Consul. did not even make application to the Captain General to ree these unfortunace country- men in their distress, and their sacred wishes in thei last moments have been unattended to. Lastly, at the very hour of their triumph, when the people of the Spanish steamer Habanrro knew that the execution of the American prisoners, which they had taken to Havana, ‘was abont to take . fired two shots across, or at, the steamer Faleon, Bahia Honda; and, notwithstanding that this vessel was well known to them, having, as she had, the American flag hoisted, &c., she was detained and overhauled by these Spanish offcers. who. upon re- turning to their vessel, commenced cheering and hissing atthe Fulcon, proud, no doubt, of the impunity with which they had detained an Americaa mail steamer on the high seas, at their pleasure.

Intelligence reached Havana, last week, that four hun- dred picked men had been sent out into the mountain of Coscoro by General Lemery, who was made to believe that a very small number of the insurgents remained, and could be easily captured. The result was, that the troops were led into ambush, when a large force of the patriots. under Dr. Augustin Aguero y Aguero, rushed upon them and killed some fifty on the spot. The rest of the Spaniards retreated to Principe, es well as they could, in the greatest disorder. Bearcely had the government recovered from this shock, when their attention was called to the still more serious fact, that a large number of sympathivers. under General Lopez, had effected a landing at Playitas. a few miles to the westward of Bahia Honda, which took place at 4 A.M., on the 13th instant. Lopez is decidedly a brave maz—brave almost to rashness. It is positively believed here, and I beheve it to be true, that the steamer signalled from the Moro Castle, on the evening of the 12th, was the same one which conveyed (General Lopez and his friends to these shores. Such a daring act of audacity, bearding as it were the lion in his den, is moet extraordinary. It appears that, close into the entrance of this harbor, Lopes fell in with @ schooner, from which he took out the captain and mate, to serve him as pilots on the coast of Bahia Honda, the pavigation of which is very intricate, ‘They arrived cff Pabia Honda about 9 P. M., when they immcdiately commenced making siguals to the shore by means of rockets, &c., which probably had been pro- viously agreed upon between the liberators aud those on shore. Gen Lopez did not effect a landing with Lis men until 4 A.M, ; but the debarkation was aone in so mas terly a style, tbat before sunrise he had not only landed his men, with all their munitions of war, but was on his march to Las Posas, a town & few miles distant from the Fs he immediately commenced intrenching imse In the meanwhile, here, in Havana, reigned the great- estexcitemert. The Pizarro, laden wiih troops, under. 1d ef General Eona, Crbe is next in comand tain Genersl) and with him the Admiral. left M., for Babia Honda, one tbousaed men hay- ing previously been rent by the railway cars, t must be in mivd, that such was the state of confusicm and slarm into which the goverament were thrown, that they bad no distinct idea as to whether Babia Honda or Mariel were the points to which the Uberaters had come. However, the following morning, we are informed that General Rona had come up wit the pirates, e they are termed by the government, and bad fought with them at Las Posas, in which be regrets the loss of some of his men and others wounded. In this engegement the Spaniards were commanded by General Eons in person, who had his horse shot from under him; Colonel Radsl and seven officers and about reventy-eight men were killed. So vnerring and deadly wae the fireof the brave liber- ators that@eners! Enna was three times repulsed with lors. At this moment the Licutenant Governor of Mariel, Colonel Gurrea, came up, with about two hundred men mere, when the colonel received a shot through his and his such ® check, that General Enna (as be states in his cfficia! communication to the Ca: General, dated half-past these o’otock on the 14th,) saw the useleasness of attempting anythi furtber against the pirates without more ery, writ would be cnly exposing his men to certain death, with- out apy Its pee ed he demanded further re- inforcemente.' Accordingly, two steamers, the Iaba- nero and the ndares, left that dey with more troops, to the number ef fourteen hundred, so that according to their own aecount, with thore who have been concentraticxg from the other districts, they have got upwards of 8,000 men, inctuding cavalry, end up till this moment they havo only made three cap- tives, who, as they-eay ia the official bulletin, they in- stently put to death. Two of these persons were gailora belonging to the steamer Pampero, who, after landing Lopes, bed gone into a tavern and got drunk ; the other poor fellow was found ina hut, unable to move, from a fracture be received when landing. Om the loth, it was known that the liberators, who hkve been joined im: large-cnwmbers -by- the people of the ‘country, madé a move in the i Nunex and Crbanss, with the intention of posressing themstlves of the fort at the latter place, when, unforiquately. come forty'or Ay-of them, who bed, in the mort daring manner, endeavo! to get there by sea in four launches, with the inteation Cf Wahing the Spaniards in the fort by surprise, were themselves, after @ most cosperate reaistance, captured by the Bpanish A who, with his steamer, and an immense number of mon, succeeded im taking them, efter a Sight of cour hours, It ty ecamputed that there were no less then 329 vol Lers wenged in the capture of these béave’ fifty Ametieana. 5 rd Hieted with his success, Admiral Bustitios hastened | with is prise to Havana, whert he azrived this mornlog atl 00 A.M.

The saddest portion of the history which I have to relate is the indifference of tho | American Consul to their sad fate. This gentleman, as you are aware, is Mr. A. F.

At two o'clock he bad a nO answer, 'n the career of a public man, moments present them. selves in which alltrules of action, all the formalities of courts, all ty? —= of yy) — be set aside, voice £004 or of humanity must be obeyed with that Reetston' which snake tne bath resetre, the steady nerve, and the noble soul of the man of worth.

Access to the General can be obtained ‘at all hours by the simple assertion that his business is t, apd how much more could the Consul of the great republic have access. His simple asking for an interview mighs have delayed their fate, and given them more time to prepare for that dread tribunal before which they were about to Sopees. His sim; shewing tha interest of a man in fate, might, perhaps, have inclined the Captain General to a ful determination, and have saved some from the fate they met. Had he saved but one man it bave been to him forever a fountain of joy; a6 he no effort, it must be to him forever a source of regret. As public man, he has shown himself unfitted for the responsible position be holds; for, in times of revolution, men, and not books—living impulse, not dead rules, are to be consulted. I do not write this in a spirit of anger, but after hours of calm reflection; and, to any gentieman who asks my name from any other motive than an impertinent curiosity, you are at perfect liberty to comm it. Mr. Owen I leave to the judgment of his fellow. citizens. ‘The revolution goes gloriously on. In the East and the West the patriots are everywhere triumphant. The people join them in crowds, and the year 1851 will see the close of the Spanish rule in Cuba, I leave to your able correspondents all details. CUBANO. Havana, Aug. 16—Saturday Night, Midnight. Anaiety of the Government About the Troops—No News from General Lopez—The Latest Accounts. The greatest anxiety is felt here by the government, as no news has been received from General Enna of later date than the night before last. The steamer Tor, one of the ferry boats, has been sent down to see | what the matter is; and one hour since, an engine | was sent express to Guanajay, the western terminus of our railroad. to bring news, either good or bad. Nothing bad been beard from the troops that left Pinar del Rio to attack Lopez; and it is feared at have gone over to him, His forces are momentarily increasing; while the fact of nothing being received here by land, to the supposition that the count: all turned in his favor. Should Lopes soon receive reinforesments, with arms to distribute to the crowds that go in to him, Gen. £nva wut either surrender or retreat by sea. In either esse, Lopes's march to Havana will be uninterrupted. You cen imagine the hopes and fears that agitate the city. I rend you the supplement to the Prensa, which is Worth translating. SPANISH OFFICIAL ACCOUNT. We translate from a supplement of the Prensa, of August 16, the following article :— JUSTICE.

During Saturday, the report was that Gen Lopes had cut off all communication between the government ‘aptain General forces and Havana, and the fact of the Ci no despatebes from the General in com- steamers: having rece | mand seemed strorg proof of it. Nor had his cruising on the coat any better success. On that even- o'clock, he despatched the steam ferry boat Jor ‘o Bahia Honda to gain intelligence and returm the same night. She, however, did not get back until, | next morning about 7 or 8 o'clock, without news. Soom | efter, the Habanero came in, bringing about forty or fifty wounded roldiers, but as we were about to sail, we could learn no more respecting aflairs at Babia Honda. You will no doubt, receive files of the Spanish papers, but no dependence can be placed in their statements, as the Government suppress everything that would lool like failure upon their side, while the most trifling suc~ cess is magnified into the grandest achievement these fifty men were doing among the Cayes, where they were taken, is a mystery, nor could we learn whether they were armed. Some suppose that they were Proceeding to a village on the coast nearer to Ha- vaoa, and that they ran in among the Cayes te hide frem the cruizers, They wire first seen by @ fisherman, who made it known to the coven mand, when the Habanero was despatohed in pursuit them.
