The United States steamer Vixen arrived at Pensacola on the 20th, in four days from Havana, with some further intel/igence from Cuba. General Lopez, it is sald, had made a stand at Mariel, and had two engagements with the Spanish troops, and was successful in both, The Spaniards lost 80 officers and 300 men in killed and wounded. ‘The wounded and dead were conveyed to Havana, and the latter buried with military pomp, on Friday last. ‘The force of Lopez is increasing with great rapidity. From twelve to fourteen hundred new recruits join his ranks daily. On the night of the ldth, over one hundred men left Havana for the purpose of joining the invaders, ‘There is a report, also, that one entire regiment of go- vernment troops had gone over to the patriots. ‘The people, too, are rising in many quarters, The last report of the results of the two engagements of Lopez is, that one general, one commodore, one ene- ral of marines, with two hundred privates, were killed, ACCOUNTS FROM THE CUBANS. We were last pight handed a lengthy communication, signed by the © Editors and oc-laborers of La Vurded,’ @ Spanish paper publithed in this city, We have room only for the following portion of the statement :— SACRED FIFTY. A desire bas been shown in some quarters to relieve the Spaniards in Havana from the just odium and dis- ust paturally awakened in every bosom by the revolt- = prcefapation to which some of the dead bodies were subjected efter the massaere. The undersigned, therefore, feel called upon to publish the following extracts of letters received by various Ju- ban gentlemen in New York, from their friends in Hava- pa. Inall cases these letters proceed from persons of tly reliable characters, One of them [2] is feom peniard himself. writirg to his own son, with acknow- ledged shame for what he confesses ; another (1) is from & gentleman ¢f the most eminent repute in Havana for the best qualities of human nature. We might easily multiply similar proofs, We send the originals of several of the letters for the tnepection of the editors to whora we have the honor of addressing this communication We degire to have it particularly borne in mind, that the authors of these barbarities were the Spanish rabble of Havana, and would pledge our lives that no Cubao be held the scene with other emotions than horror, They constituted the class to whom it was a day of bieody joy andexultation, No person familiar with the history of the Spanish civil wars among themselves, will receive with eny surprise this « nen of the ferocious instinccs character, one of the symptoms of which is to be seen in their bloody buil-tights, and figuts of wild beasts, Hundreds of fur more horrid atrocities are well known to have occurred im their massacres of prisoners, and treatment of their remains, Even cannibalism is not unknown on such occasions to the experience of ‘some of the Spanish provinces, ‘The letters are all of the dato of the eventag of 16th or the 17:h inst.

General Lye landed at Playitas, on the 1th, it is raid, and the following day the news was kaown here. You can imagine the excitement caused by it; the go- verpment on the one side full of the greatest alarm, and the people exhibiting their satisfaction in their counte- nances, A column immediately set out under the commend of Enna, the second in command, and is said to have had an engagement on the 13th with the liberating force, in which @ vast number of Spaniacds |. our friends having obtained a complete vio- Kona sent out to ask more reinforcemeate, which have been scat to him. We krow nothing more at present. It remains only for me to relete to you that Havana has been the witness of a scene | which has bad no parallel in the annals of civilized pations. The steamer Habanero entered this morniog with fifty American who wero shot to-day at eleven, without form of trial, and without bavi ven them even the time necessary to p: for don & The marched out to the Uastie »s Christiana, ot, the place of the execution, where was found as- ‘© numerous multitude of Spaniards, «ace there did not remain « clerk in a shop who did not go to be Present at the act, This circumstan se would be nothing in itself, had it not been for the bar barities that followed; for after the were shot in the back, their bodies were mutilated in the most horrid manner, and not only soldiers but officers themselves took pleas ia sty and trampling on the corpses, which were tied by feet, their members being mutilated, which were oxhi- bited as trophies of vietory. I cannot continue further, my pen trembles in relating such acts. Our Washington Correspondence. BY MAIL.

Bince then, Spain declares that she will nt sell ; that it is now matter of honor with her, to show te the world that she is able to keep possession of the island, &o, The British and French governments, too, may have given Spain some assurances of co-operation ; but I doubt whether, when the worst comes to the worst, England or France, or both, would seriously attempt to enforce Mr. Guizot’s foolish notion of an “American equi- librium.” The great idea of this continent is that of unity of government (¢ pluribus unwm), and not of ba- lancing one State against the other; though eome mad- ‘men, even here, have, at times, indulged in such a dream. Some eight or ten weeks ago, before Mr. Webster left ‘Washington, the British and French diplomatic fanc- tiomaries here hinted, in a eemi-official mapner, at the necessity in which their respective governments might be placed to prevent the attempts of our citizens to seize ‘upon Cuba; to which Mr. Webster, Utetieve, gave a very comprehen- sive reply, stating that the government of the United States had done, and hourly continued to do all in its power to prevent other «apeditions agai: st Cuba; but thot this government was not to be threatened by any foreign power, and would not listen to such threats. Mr. Webster's note remained unanswered by Sir Henry and the Minister sent us by Mr. Louis Bona- | parte. Mr. Webster may bave progressive ideas; but the | administration, of which he is the head and front, has none, and Daniel Webster cannot stand any longer on | the Albany platform. He must quit the concern—the sooner, the better for his reputation. A commercial treaty has been agreed upon between Mr. Webeter and Mr. Marcoleta, the Minister from Nicaragua; but the latter refuses to sign it until the po- litical treaty between the two powers, which is not yet | Gefinitely agreed upon, is about to besigned. Mr Mar- coleta wishes to sign them both at the same time, and bas written home for instructions. It appears that Great Britain, as condition for abandoning the Mosquito coast, requires that Nicaragua should recognise King Gallinipper the First, and that Nicaragua refuses to do 80, Foild le mot de VEnigme.

At | Dall, aud it was observed bam pg ‘The First Grand Dress Ball at Saratoga Springs. According to custom, a grand ball was given at the United States Hotel, Saratoga, on Friday evening last. It bas been the custom, for a number of years Past, to give & grand costume ball st the time when it is supposed there is the largest number of visiters In Saratoga, The season of 1851 having been Prolonged, the ball was put off a week or two longer than it otherwise would have been, When it was first spoken of, the question arcee, shall it be acostume ball, or simply an elegant dress ball? After some discussion, it was decided that no fancy cortumes should be worn. A meeting was then called, and on motion of Mr. Hamersley, of New York, Gen, O'Donnell, of Baltimore, was called to the chair, and James I. Harvey, of Philadelphia, appointed secretary. It was decided, upon a resotution offered by Mr. Waddell, that the ball be a dress ball, instead of a fancy ball, as heretofore. After some diseussion, the price of tickets was fixed at $10, uniformly. ‘The meeting next appointed seventy-six managers, whose names were published in yesterday’s Herald. Tho army and navy were well represented in this list, as wer : also the States of New York, Mississippi, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Maryland, Khode Island, Miehi- gan, Massachusetts, Delaware, Ohio, Florida, Connecti- | eut, the District of Columbla, and the islands of Great | | turn.

In fact, the list was selected with great care, and prevents many names of renown. Afte the menagers had been selected, Capt. Ritchie, U. 8. N., moved that eight directors be selected from the Board of Management, to officiate on the evening of the ball, and to have complete direction of the whole affair. This motion prevailed, and the following gentlemen were appointed :— DIRECTORS. J. W. Gerard, Major Chotard, Captain Ringgold, ¥. L, Waddelt, Jchn Btidelt. Reverdy Johnson, Captain Kitehie, Col, Taleott, All things being now arranged, the directors adjourned, to meet on Friday efternoon for the tale of tickets, After all the preliminaries were setuled, the ball became the topic of conversation at the breakfast and toa tables, “Are you going to the ball?” “ What Ikind of a ball shall we huve?" “How is the ball going off?” and a great variety of questions of similar import might be heard from all quarters, while all sorts of responses were made. The merits of plain and costume balls were also discussed at length, and it was generally agreed that, for once, it would be well to try the success of a grand dress ball, There were some, however, who held that a costume ball would be preferable; but as the thing was fixed, they | submitted with good grace to the decision of the direc. tors, expressing a hope that the floor would not be occu- picd by dancers of the German cotillon, to the exclusion | of these who withed to dance other figures.
