By the arrival of the steamship Empire City at this port, yesterday, we received confirmation of the news from Cuba, which we publ -hed in yester- @ay’s paper, and which was conveyed to New Or- Jeans by the steamer Cherokee. All doubt is now at an end in regard to the fate ef the expedition which sailed from New Orleans, | under the command of General Lopez. Wo have at length received reliable intelligence concerning the invading army ; and of a melanch ly character it is, Numbers were killed ; many were captured, and are about being sent to Spain, and Lopez | hhimself has been garroted. Of this there can be no question. Thus has ended the expedition of the Pampero. We cannot but feel for the friends of the brave spirits who lost their lives in this i to accomplish Cuban independence. He who says that a majority of them were not actuated by the best and holiest of motives, in our opinion says what is not true. They were unsuccessful—they were mistaken—they placed too much reliance on the reports that reached them of the willingness of the creoles to rive as soon as they landed, and srike for independence. such matters @ mis- take is worse thanacrime. Indeed, there is the best reason to believe that Lopez himself was de- seived. That he was a brave wan—rashly brave— Bo one can deny. The creoles of Cuba either do not wish indepen- @ence, or they wish it, but are too cowardly to run aay riskin obtaining it. They may wish it, but they may not be willing to peril their lives in struggling for it. They may wish to hire out the aequisition of liberty az a job. tizens are not Hessians, and when the time comes, as come it will fm the nature of things, when Cuba will be incor- porated with the United States, the creoles will not be consulted in the matter. There is every reason to suppese that the men composing the expedition which sailed in the Pampero, were lured to under- take it by creole promives and creole professions. Faith was broken; and, no doubt those who glori- fed and huzzaed most at the execution of the Ame- Ficans at Havana, contributed most to wards fitting ut the expedition. The whole afair was 2 cruel deception, from the commencement to the end. fr Newepaper Circulation and the Census We have received several communications from publishers of newpapers in this State, complaining of the list published in the Herald of the 16th August, so far as the amount of circulation stated was, as these editors or printer? allege, underrated. The number of those who complain of the list is, however, but few, from which it may be inferred that it was in the main correct. We stated ex- Pressly that our only authority for the accuracy of the list, was the returns of the census made to the department at Warhington, nor did we hold our- selves responsible for any falee returns made by proprietors of newspapers, or for th sible objéet could we have in making mistatements in the list referred to, particularly when any misrepre- sentation could be so easily detected by applica tion to the proper depsrtment! The circulation of the Herald is sufficiently large without re quiring to be overrated, and an examination of the lt published will show that we did not hevitate to give the circulation of our cotemporaries as larger ‘han our own, when they had so reported, as facts in the Oensus returns. The principal somplainte we have received are from papers in the country, concerns which certain- ly do not interfere with our interests, and we have Bo reason to wish them anything but prosperity.

It was stated at | of 500 passengers. Should anything prevent the 20,000 in the census returns. Mr. Lee says, “you | may safely set down the agricultural journals pub- lished monthly in the State of New York at a mil- | lion copies g year,” which would be over 83,000 monthly. | The proprietor of the New York Democrat, a Gor | man paper of this city, complains to us that his cir- | culation is put down at 1,200, and says his damage | would be very heavy in the advertising business, if | so understood by the public, whereas his daily cir- culation is 2,500, and that of his Sunday paper 4,000. As we have said before, we are not respon- sible for the census returns, and the German editor should make his complaints to the censas depart- | ment at Washington. | The Evening Post, of this city, endeavors to | tween three and foar thovsand, but that was to be expected by all who have watched the per- | severing efforts which the Union safety journals have made for the past year to possess them- selves of ou: advertisements.” Now, the Post knows very well that we are not among those of | the Union press wko have made any efforts “ to possess ourselves of its advertisements.” We care nothing about either its circulation or advertisiog custom, and have not thrown a straw in iss way. In the census returns, the Post is thus put down, doubtless by the authority ef some one in the office of that paper—‘* New York Post, daily, semi- weekly, and weekly, 7,300." As it was necesssary in classifying our list, to divide this circulation, re- ported in this blind manner, we endeavored to do it faily, by stating it thus—daily, 1,500; semi- weekly, 3,000; weekly, 2.$00. If this is incorrect, why does not the Post give its actual circulation, as | it was in June, 1850, and at the present time, if it pleases? Sucha statement would be satisfactory to the public. ‘The United States census being taken for the public benefit, we submit that the returns of the marshal:, when duly made to the Department at Warhing‘on, are public property. As such, we have not hesi- tated to obtain copies of such portions of the The proprietors of other papers have, of course, the same privilege, but some of chem are, it would seem, more interested in suppressing the truth thaa in publishing it. | The following extract of a letter, from our corres- pondent at Washington, shows in what manner our census returns were obtained, and with what care they were made up:— Crensvs Orrick, Wastixoros, | August 12, 1851. | Sin—Having now furnishel you with the newspaper statistics of the United States, as given tn the census of 1850, I will state to you the usture and amount of the work performed.

We bave put the circulation of the Morning £x- press st 4,000, which is probably a full proportion | of the total eireulation of that paper, morning and evening editions, which the proprietors report at 10,700. It will be seen that the circulation of the Heratp was, last year, nearly equal to the circu- | lation of all the other morning papers published in | the city, at and above two cents per copy, the re- | gular price of the Herarn. | The above statement is made upfrom the census | returns, but it is more or less incorrect. Ac | cording to the Jowrnal of Commerce, the ciroula- tion of the Courier and Enquirer is less than that | shown in the census, and we suppose that the eir- culation of the Journal of Commerce is also some- what above the mark. On reference to our books, | we find that our circulation in June, 1600, was 28,416, and not 32,000 ; but we believe that our actual | circulation in June, 1250, was equal to the combined | circulation of the Courier, Journal, Tribune, and | Morning Eapress, at the same time. | | Tne Comrrrottens’ Rerowt—Tar Taxation ‘oy rum Crty.—From the Comptroller's report, which we published a few days ago, it is clear that taxation is going ahead at a fearful pace ; and that @ most reckless and profligate expenditure looms out in almost every department of the city government.
