The Revolution in Cuba. SPARTLING DISCLOSURES BY WELL INFORMED GON- SPIRATORS—A FLOP CONDUCTED THROUGH THE NEWSPAPERS-—MEN WITH THEIR NECKS IN THE @AKOTTE PLANNING TREASON —GRAND DETAILS OF ‘A MYTHICAL ORGANIZATION TO ESTABLISH A CUBAN REPUBLIC—WILFUL BLINDNESS OF THE CUBAN AU- THOKITIES TO THESE FORMIDABLE MOVEMENTS, ETC. ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New Onteans, Dec, 28, 1858. ‘An attempt will soon be made to revolutionize Cuda. ‘Phe revolutionary party in Cuba is thoroughly organized, with abundance of men and means t accomplish tho undertakivg. ‘They only await the signal to rise and declare their independence. ‘his will be done, Whether they will maintain it or not is another question, and one ‘m which the Southern people will not be disinterested spectators. The plans of the revolutionists are deeply and surely laid, and the men who lead on and control the movement have the entire confidence of more than three-fourths of the people of Cuba, as has been as- eertained by a careful canvass through the island by men uted for that purpose. ere is nota shadow of doubt but that a large mijo- rity of the people of Cuba desire to be froed from the despotism of Spain, and will come up manfully aud fight for their indepeudence. ‘This movement is not a mere ruse to frighten Spain into selling the island to the United States. The leading men of Cuba do not desire that. They revolt at the of being sold as slaves, and sold for 60 much money, and would fight for the continuance of Spanish rule rather than submit to such humiliation, as they covsider it. These are the sentiments of prominent Cuban ntlemen now in our city, and recently arrived from auavana in their Own vessel. Alarge number of Americans are already in Cuba, thoroughly organized and provided with proper means for rendering material aid to the revolutionists. Some of these men have been for a long time residents of the island, Others have been emigrating thither, quietly, for months past, with, it is presumed, a ful! knowledge of what was contemplated. Atime has once been set for the execution of this movement, but the presence of the Spanish fleet, backed by that of France, determined the postponement of the ject. The Spanish government have some inkling of ‘the contemplated movement, and their fleet is sent over to watch Cuba, rather than for the ostensible purpose of ig redrees from Mexico, Leading men in England are fully advised of the move- ment, and an arrangement has been made with the reyo- lutiovists to settle the English claims against the isiaad. Amember of the English Parliament vizited this city a short time since, arriving here with Senator Douglas. He was bardly noticed in the shadow of Douglas, He (the M. P.) canie here for the express purpose of informing bimgeif upon this moyement to revolutionize the island ot Cuba, that be might satisfy himself and his governmeut, if necessary, as to the prospect of success. He stopped here a few days, passed quietly o to Cubs, and there sought and found the information he desired. Mr. Douglas jeft here in the same steamer; and the fact of Mr. Douglas changing his purpose and stopping at Havana has a significance that more than one member of Congress perfectly understands. Tho re- ‘volutionists do not fear the intervention of England, but they are less contident of the French Emperor, who has fewer interests involved. He is determined to bavea foothold, in some shape, on this continent, and if Cuba gains ber independence and proclaims a republic, “he will sink his last ship rather than fail of secaring an infla- ‘ence in Centra) America,” in some form or other. It is asigniticant fact to those who understand the move- mente in contemplation, that the Spanish fleet does not on- ter the harbor of Havana except when they are atwendud by some portion of the French fleet, and itisafact that but one or two Spanish men-of- war have passed inside of the Moro atthe same time, or remained there wether, since they were ordered to rendezvous there. ‘Thus much upon the authority of gentlemen from Cuba well known here, as also upon the authority of well-in- formed Americans of bigh standing now in this city, but who may, ere this reaches you, bo on their way to Cuba Ww prove the correctness of these statements, It is bardly neceseary to say that if the movemont be snccessfit! a republic will be declared, modelled afver that of the United States, ‘Tue declaration of independence is already drawn up, and is similar toour own. Their in- dependence declared, with a force of ten thousand men to Maintain it, the next’step will be to apply for admission into our Union, and our government, having flied to ne- goliate for the purchase of the island from Spain, as it surely will fail, will be able to make a much better bar- gain with the republic of Cuba by merely paying the ex- ‘penses of the revolution. The island will be divided into two States, with thirteen representatives and four Sena- tors, some of whom have already been named. The immediate future of Cuba is “pregnant with com- ents,’ and I have cast a truthful “shadow be- You will de kept advised of il reliable information in regard 10 the movement, £0 far (ue Congress gaya) as is consistent with the interests of the embryo republic. The Rumors about Cuba. VO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Naw York, Dec. 30, 1858 So much is being daily said in the newspapers, and otherwise, in regard to Cuba, and the probable acquisition of it by the United States, that I am induced to offer the public, through the columns of your valuable paper, a piece of information which will be entirely new to mos persone, coucerning an organization having for its objec the annexation of that island to our confederacy. The organization to which I allude, although by no means of recent origin, is a secret one; and with so much caution and privacy have its intrigues and movements been conducted, that to this day iis existence is scarcely known to any not enrolled in membership. By its mom- bers it is callet “The Cuban Cabal,’ and it is a cable which, they confiently anticipate, will, before the expira tion of the present administration, be the means of uniting and binding the ‘Queen of the Antilles” in sisterly fel- lowship to our prosperous family of States. The organization extends from New York to New Orleans, having its branches or lodges in nearly every seaport town, and over the entire ot Cuba. Itis led by men of acknowledged ability and integrity, many of whom have occupied exalted positions, civil and ‘military, uuder ‘our government The immense counts, to th importance of Cuba, country, are well on many ac- known to every intelligent citiven. The desire, tne very laudable desire, of the President to acquire the’ island by purchase, if possible, is also well known. Bat it i also, if not well known, at least very evident, that against the opposing influenc reat Britain and France we cal never obtain the island by honorable negotat on, and that we must acquire it, if atall, by come other means. Itis rendered certain, by the late message of tho Presi dent, that this government will in no manger mterfere with Cuba, “ness circumstances should occur rendering rly justifiable the wrative and overruling law of teil preservation.” W r any circumstances will occur to justify such an interference remains to be ween. It will be owing tw no fault or want of eflurt on the part of the Coban Cabal if they do vot occur, It is the wm and intention of that organization to ota f ba wich will Not on tify, Uhiogs in € cally demand, the interposition of annexation of the to our Uni If the plans of the Cabal are exe they wil! be, a rebeslion will break oud m € remote day.” A undoubtedly 4 at no very y have not of late openly mu: mia apirit, y dis. eatisfaction, and readivess, and detorminaiion to revel, are rendered evident enough by the great number who ure attached to the Cabal, Indeeo, wituia a few weeks past, it bas been observed that several popaiar and ‘influential residents evince a sullen discontent, and conduct themselves mysteriously. This has no doubt given rise to the apprehension among the officials on the island that a revolutionary movernent foot. My own knowledge of the matier enabjes me to say that their suspicions are well founded. A revolution will take he rebels will he promptly assisted by friends from the States, pow members of the Cabal. ‘The government on the island will be overthrown, and the United States must, of necessity, take it under her juris- diction. Some might infer from the quotation mae from the President's Message, in this connection, that his Bx lency vontemplates, in case of failure, to wequire Cuba by purchase, an insurrection in the island and an expedition from the United States, which will result im producing 1 state of affairs to clearly justify the acquisition of the island fwithout parchasing it. But Lam prepared to say that the Executive does not sympathize in the designs of the Cabal, and that the members of that order bave Teason to apprehend Wat any attempt to ft out an es tion for the invasion of Cuba, or to aid in an insurree on the part of the inhabitants of the island, would, if known, meet with the same vigilant opposition on the part of the government that was exerted to prevent the departure of the late filibuster expedition for Ceatral Ame- rica, But ii spite of any effort on the part of the govern- ment to prevent it, an expedition will in duo time be fitted out for the shores of Cuba, and will, it is believed, suc- ceed iu accomplishing the result which the Cabal bas in view.

The companies were all in camp and Seay out, About two hundred warriors, well mount- ed. hed at rapid speed into the camp, dismounted their own horses, cut the ro, of some of Lieut. Averelle’ best horses, mounted them and rode off. Three Indians were killed, but their bodies were carried off by their companions. The Indians did not fire a shot while in the camp. They could hive massacred the guard, but they were bent on stampeding the horses, and hence dis- regarded the soldiers. Col. Miles and bis command arrived at Fort Defiance on the 18th of November. No regular fight occurred on the march. The Indians displayed much fear and a desire for peace. A correspondent of the Santa Fe Gazelle, writing from that point, says that, “whenever the Indians were seen, they displayed white flags and pleaded for peace. The ground over which the troops passed was frequently marked witha crosa in the sand. In one place a email cross had been erected with a piece of white musfin, stained in one spot with w yellow powder. Tne white mus- lim was our embiem of peace, the cross the Mexican, and the stain the Navajo, 1t was @ mournful and sympathetic appeal to our Christian feelings and sentiments—a signii- cant and silent messenger in @ desert land, rejuvenating remembrances of our Christian education, and yogiocng our compassion upon the little naked children and the wo- men of the nation, whoge barefoot tracks could be seen at every step imprinted in the snow and sand, as they fled in sorrow and grief amd pain, and flew before our br apren | troops. One of the chiefs came into the camp aad p! for peace. He said bis people did not want to fight us; they were not able to fight us; that they acknowledged our power to crush them; that they desired to be our friends. On the 20th of November the chiefs of the Navajo nation, ten in number, came into the camp, and after a council, in whieb the wholv merits of the matter of peace were ex- plained and discusged, an armistice of thirty days was ‘anted by Colonel Miles. For weeks previous the Indians «ud been appealing to the troops in every form for peace in behalf of their children, their women, their property, and for the sake of peace, Never bave a tribe of savages been more completely humbled and subjugated than have ‘these Indians. For two mouths they bad no rest. It had been with them @ constant succession of fears and disas- ters, which have brought them conquered and pleading for peace. Their experience for the timo of the war has been a constaut flight—no place has been allowed them to rest for any jength of time, until now they are forced to consent 10 such terms of poace as the United States may deem proper to enforce. The campaign, although inado- quade and carried on with a force at no tine exceeding 300 men in the field, has been prosecuted against the most powertlul Indian wibe on the continent, with almost unpa- ralleled success, and resulted in teaching these Indians a Jeszon tbat will last for all time to come, Thev have been conquered in the most effectual mauner—they feel that they are conquered in a knowledge of our power to obliter- ate them 4s a nation, When their agent met them in private council and in- formed them that their appeal and cries for peace had in- Ouced him to request of the military commauder to cease hostile operations vntil he could meet the chiefs and con- fer with them, and that the result of that request was pro- bably so g00n to restore them to their families and to quiet and contentment, their manifestations of gratitude were truly affecting. Old iron featured chiefs, who had ever heretoiore cherished the idea that their people were the greatest in the world, and that the troops were afraid to march through their country, embraced the agent and hung their proud heads in humility and subjection. One of the most influential chiefs—Armijo—presented the “staia’’ with o beautiful small blanket, and poiating to the little boy, who wore around bis neck a large silver modal with the name and face of ‘Millard Fillmore, President of the United States,” on it, said be wanted peace for the ke of such as he, They were poorly clothed, and suf. much, Another, the great chief of the nation—Zar- s Largor—who is distinguished for his courage and strength of mind and character, pointed to his wife, who stooa by with a white flag in’ her hands, and said he wanted peace for her and the women, that they had had cat for a long time, and the women were much dis- ‘One of the most desirable results of this war is the dis and mapping of a country heretofore terra incogni {a to the white man, and which presents some of the most grand and interesting scenery and featares on the North American continent. Maps of almost every march will be completed in a short time, and the country laid before the eyes of the people. ‘Lieutevant Whipple, who went out as topographical officer to the command, has for some time been engaged in making a map of the country traversed in this scout, His known capacity furnishes assurance that it will be accurate,and, being accurate, will be of invaluable ad- vantage to the army hereafter, should it ever become necessary for another Command to be sent against these Indians, When this campaign was commenced the coun- try was entirely unknown to the commanding officer, and there was no map at the post to give any information or accurate idea of the different zections inhabited by the Jndians. The Civil War in Mexico. Innamtayts ov Oasaca—The same Gachupin Cobos, whose robberies and iniquities are well known to ail of us, is again bringing war into our State. Doubtless he has forgotten that the bayonets of the Oajacans could bardiy catchthe backs of his soldiers. It is necessary to remind him of it, for Oajaca is not to be provoked with impunity. Inbabitants of Oajaca—Cobos, and other Gachupines who accompany him, wish to profit ‘from. our divisions to pre- pare for the domination of Spain. Although some of our misled countrymen may follow the same course as the Tiascaltecas did when Hernan Cortes entered, let us despise the traitors if we do not choose to chastise them. But we who love our country, who are liberals, who have Mexican heart which enthusiastically adores the inde- pendence of our country, let us unite to combat the in- famous Gachupin, who intends to deliver us up to the domination of Spain. Let us forget all the rest only to think of our common salvation. Let us seize our arms, and perish rather than to behold our sons. our wives made the slaves of the Gachupines. The bandit Cobos insults, threatens and provokes us Who is such a coward—who so mean and miserable as not to feel his heart become emboldened, and who will suifer in eilence and indifference so great an infamy? No. Let us answer those villains with the cry of war, with the mouths of guns and canuons, with the points of bayonete. We wiready know that they are cowards—that their in- famous leaders are the first to run in the hour of danger, and that they only dare provoke our courage because they believe us to be weak. Let us show them that we are the same who on the 1th of January made them bend their forehewis to the ground, and then shed tearalike women— made them tremb! lives aud pray on their knees for their jacans, to arms!

People—The independence of the nation is menaced. The infamous Ziloaga and traitorous conservative party have called to their assistance the cowardly Gachupines in or- der to fmpose on you the oppressive yoke with so much valor, at the price of so many sacrifices and blood, you suceeoded in breaking. Spain dreams of reconquering Mexico, and without remembering the infamy with which her arms wore covered in our fleids, has suill the fatuity to provoke Mexican valor. People—In the waters of Tampico are lying four Spanish ships, with 2,000 men for landing. Perhaps at this hour the foreign cannon bas thrown into Tampico its deadly projectiles, Perhaps the blood of our brethren has been spilt in the glorious defence of national integrity. People, it is your duty to punish such audacity—to avenge such precious blood. Never would the Gachupines have dared to insult the Mexican people, had not the traitor Zuloaga and the conservative party called on them to combat the independence of the country in order to kill liberty. People, know the traitors; rise and put them to flight; chastise and confound them, have no mercy on the Gachu- Pines, no compassion on the conservatives, Both are your enemies; both want to enchain you. The reaction threw off the mask with which it had covered itself; the conser: vatives cannot longer conceal that they conspire against independance, that they are the encmies of liberty and of the nation, People—Make known to those infamous traitors that yor are the same who at the mighty voice of Hidalgo and Lue. bide caused to triumph the holy cause, and that the re ee will rather perish than to seo her fertile soil detile t y the unclean foot of the Gachupinos. ‘Long live liberty, long live the federation, long liv» Mexico; death to the Gachupines, death to the conserva. tive traitors.

THE JAPANESE TREATY—TRAGIC EVENTS WHICH HAVE FLOWED FKOM IT—THE EMPEROR SLAIN OK POISONED FOR SIGNING THE TREATY—PRINCES Dia- GRACED FOR THE SAME ACT. {Correspondence of the Philadelphia Ledger.) Untrap States Seamer POWHATAN, NAGASAKI, JAPAN, Oct, 1, 1858. On the Sth ultimo, being all ready for sea, we got up steam, aud on the 10th found ourselves again’at anchor 1m this perfect little harbor; it being understood that Mr. Wm. B, Reed was to follow in tie Minnesota as goon as possible, We found at anchor a Duteh brig, discharging tne cargo of an Amsterdam merchant who had lately arrived to sct- tle upon the Desima, and were also met with bad news in regard to the cholera, This disease bad, it seems, broken out with great violence ghortly after our departure, a month previone, carrying off a8 many as fifty of the Ja: panese daily, and origiuating a fecling of wido-epread alarm throughout the whole southern part of the island of Kin-ein. It was not attributed to natural causes by the lower classes, but to the working of a devil who it was aseerted had been thrown overboard from one of the English ships lately visiting the port, and who had then swam on shore to destroy the people as a punishment for the epirit of “free intercourse with foreigners”” which Ja- pan had manifested by signing the late treaties. It was also asserted that “the English had poisoned the waters;” and the existence of such a conviction among the lower orders is scarcely to be wondered at, whon one reflects upon. the superstitious nature of their religion (?) and upon the acts of some English sailors, which evident: ly gave rise to the belief. Igave you an account of the treaty lately made by us with Japan. Let mo now tell you of some tragic as well 4s interesting events which are said to have alroaly flowed from it, You must first know that though “out of the world,” whilecruising along these unknown shoals, we have still’ an occasional European mail, by some wander- ing ship, and (while anchored here) @ semi-weekly mail from Jeddo, This latter comes overland by a special messenger, who sometimes rides, sometimes walks, and again proceeds by water. A few days after our arrival one of these “poste” came in, and the next day the inter- preters gave our Dutch friends of Desima the Jello news; they, in turn, passed it over to us. It was eaid that, after the signing ‘of our last treaty (20th of July ‘ult.), it was sent by the Tai-Koon, or Imperial Emperor, at Jeddo, to the Mikado, or Spiritual Emperor, ‘at Miaco, for bis approval. The latter, however, who is said to be a young man of eighteen, aware of his rights and power, and determined to’ enforoe them, refused his approval upon the ground that he should have been consuited previous to the signing of the treaty, and departing boldly from the timid policy 0 bis more immediate predecessors, imitated that of ‘the “old régime,” and notified his “Great Ruler,” (or Tai- Koon,) that in obedience to the laws of Japan, the time had Gome for him to commit “Harikari.”” The Great Ruler, therefore, stabbed himself in the bowels, receiving at the’same moment a severe blow on the back of bis neck from a friend and relative, which, dislocating the vertebra, produced instant death. This bold stand ‘pon the part’ of their Mikado, who has been treated by lat» Tai-Roons more as @ pajpet than a master, has startle: the Japanese, and cau: them to expect some great changes. What these are to be, however, they do not say. The above is the news by one post. Another says that the Emperor was poisoned, and that three of the great Princes composing the Senate of Twenty, who actually govern Japan, had been disgraced for the part they had taken in the treaty; while a third arrival varies the news by stating that the Tai-Koon had simply been deprived of his office for a time, and that he will return to power atter a few yeare, The three Princes, it was farther stated, had been dismissed from oflice by the Tai-Koon previous to his own removal, in the hope that the Mikado would consider’ that a safficient Teparation, and consent to stop farther proceedings. This latter was accepted by us as the most natural and conse: quently more likely to be true than any other: but yes: terday all doubt. was removed by the publication of tie following government order. “The Tai Koon is dead! All the people will, therefore, commence the national mourning on the 4th of Octover, and continue it through the following fifty days. As asual, none but necessary work will be allowed.’ Thus, it is certain that the Emperor is dead; though whether by Harikari or poison, ie not known. It's, how ever, equally certain, that it has not resulted from uabural causes, and our Dutch friends say that Harikari is the most probable. Ocr. 4.—On the 2d instant the Flag Officer was officially notificd of the death of the Emperor by the Governor of ki. We were informed, with all the gravit that he had been sick for six woeks with and that he had finally succuinbed on the 14th § Teubsequently said 10 the interpreter, You once told me that it required forty days to get news from Jeddo, and now, When it is only cightecn days since his death, you Habout it, Ido not know what to believe when f you Japanese. ”? “Oh!” he replied, “oh! when the Emperor dies the post comes very fast—in ceven days sometimes.” “Well, now, I want to know how he died?” [said natural “How? He died of bad cold. Ihave speak Commo: dore.?* “Yes, but you know that is the outside account. I want is the inside one.""* “No, thig is not outside. now.”’ “Perhaps be has committed ‘Marikari,’ he hing. “Oh, no,” laughing, with evident amusoment, “thay notso. That cannot be. Never Emperor or Great Prince make Harikari—only Governors and ginal Princes. ‘Thus I place the asvertion of the interpreter against the belief of the Dutch-—myself inclining toward the latter ‘The interpreter, however, was “Yashero,” a remarkably honest and talebted man. The day after, being officially informed of the imperial death, the Flog Officer sont his Flag Tieu- tenant to the Governor, to say to him that be wished to Honor his master's mewory by’ firing 21 minute guns, Just as weshoold for our President or for the head of a@ European Power, were we anchored in one of their rts, The Goverior expressed himself highly flattered y the attention, but replied that as it was the custom in Japan to mourn in silence, unless the Adiwiralf was anx ious to fire it, he begged he would not. So we gayed our powder. OcroreR 6.—Yeetorday another “post”? arrived from Jeddo, professing to bring the true account of the Impe- rial death. It is now said to have been owing to anas- arca. Tho Minnesota, with Mr. Reed and suite, leave to morrow at daylight for Shanghae; she will leavo for home bofore the end of the year, and is ordered to proceed to Boston.
