Who In Genernl Lopez *
This question hits frequently been linked, since the
sailing of the Cuban expe< itio i The sulijoiucil i ketch
of his career, we find in the Philadelphia bulletin,
condensed from a long account in u New Orleans pa
per :
Narciso Lopez wss liom of wealthy parents, in 17-
98 or 9, in Venezueln, and is now n little over fifty
ears of age. He was the only son that, grew to
manhood, though be hud numerous sisters, tie was
trained to the saddle, as is the custom in South Ainer-
icu. His father being obllged by civil disturbances to
remove to Caraccas, where lie entered upon a com
mercial life, his son Narciso- superintended a brunch
of the House at Valencia, in the interior. Here, du
ring the troubles of Itolivor’s time in 1824, young Lo
pez took a prominent part on the popular side, and
narrowly osca]>od from massacre. At length, when
reduced almost to desperation, lie enlisted in the nrmy,
ns his only chance for life. At the end of the war be
tween Spain and the insurgents. Lopez found hittfaclf
u Colonel, at the age of 28. lie had also received the
cross of ban Fernando, ns a further reward for var -
ous gallant deeds during the war. On the evacuation
of the country by the Spanish army, Col. Lopez re
turned to Cuba.
Since that time, (182.7.) Lopez hns been a Cuban,
having married and established himself in the island,
lie was known to tie possessed of liberal principles,
which prevented him from obtuining olllee In the
island, and thus remained in retirement. During the
first of tho Carlist troubles in Spain, Lopez happen
ed to bo in Madrid with his wife, urging a private
claim on the government. He distinguished himself
on tlje government side; was made first aid-de-camp
to the Commander in Chief, Gen, Valdez, and receiv
ed several military decorations. Ho became the
wnrra personal friend of Vale ez, who was afterwards
the mostpopular Captnin General of Cuba. He was
for a time, Commander in Chief of t.he National
Guard of Spain, and subsequently Commander In
Chief of several provinces. During all this period
of favor with the royalist party, it is said that lie re
mained faithful to his democratic principles ; and
though caressed by the Queen Mother, Christina, he
despised and distrusted her.
On the insurrection which ended in tho expulsion
of Christina from the regency, Lopez was made Gov
ernor of Madrid, a post whicli lie held until Espartero
became regent, when lie positivity refused to hold it,
in spite of the solicitations of Espartero. As Senator
of the Kingdom, from the Liberal city of Seville, he
studied tim politics und institutions of Spain, and
then first learned die condition of tile Spanish colo-
nios, and especially the oppression under which C'ubn,
till! country ol his adoption, labored. The expulsion
of tho Cuban deputies from tlio Cortes further dis-
f usted him, and, resigning his offices, lie departed for
lavana, not without some trouble in obtaining per
mission.
At this time, (1839,) General Valdez was Captain
General of Cuba. During the various political
troubles of Spain, Lopez held different posts of honor
nodrijmolument In the Island, but, at length he resign
ed all except his rank aB General, and then undertook
the working of an abandoned copper mine, us n pre
text for returning to the Central Department. Here
lie began to mingle with the people and concert a plan
for the liberation of Cuba. The enterprise of lust
year, which misenrriod so completely, was the result
of Ills first efforts. The second effort better matured
and more extonsive, is now on foot.
New-York, Maij 20, J 850.—John G. Smith, a painter
from Tennessee, who hgs been hoarding at. tho Amefl-

Destruction of Cotton uy Fire.—The steam

of cotton, tookfire, supposed from aspnrk, and imme
diately sot the cotton on firo. Every exertion to ex
tinguish the tire was made but without success, as
it spread very rapidly. About 40 or 50 bales were
thrown overboard, and the balance destroyed. After
it was found impossible to sink file flat, she was cut
loose. Tlie JJ. L. Cook sustained no damage, further
than being a little scorched. The cotton was con
signed to Messrs. G. W. Gaum ANY & Co., and Messrs.
Allen At Ball, of this city. We learn that it was
all insured^ /
An soon as the steamer had innde 1 her passengers,
she proceeded back to the flat and succeeding in pick

bout eight o’clock last evening. Capt. Shaw inform: us
that at the time the tiro was discovered the wind wrs
blowing very fresh. The cotton which was see n to

in less than ten minutes after the flames burst out
witli great violence entirely enveloping the whole

Arrest ami Discharge of General Lopez.
Geu. I.oi’EZ, whose arrival iu the Isabel produced
such n sensation in our community on Saturday
morning, remained u sojourner in the city during tlie
day. Information of liis presence having been dis
patched to Washington City, by the Spanish Vice
Consul for tins port, a-dispatch was received from the
Secretary of Stats in the course of the afternoon, di
recting his arrest, on the ground of his having violated
the law of Congress, of April 20th, 1813. In accord
ance with these instructions, the U. S. District Attor
ney took tlie necessary steps, and the General was
nrrested ut his lodgings by the U. S. Marshal, between-
eight and nine o'clock in tho evening, under n war
rant, issued by Judge Nicoll, U. S',. District Judge
for the District of G> orgin.
The General received tlio officers with great cour
tesy, nnd after hearing the warrant, expressed the
wish that he might be allowed a bearing as soon ns
possible, us be desired to proceed to Mobile in the
Cars, on Sunday morning. In accordance with ilia
request, ho was brought before Judge Nicoll fab
examination, at about half-post 10 o’clock. Notwith
standing die imusunlness of, tho hour, tlie court-room
was filled by a large concourse of citizens, who
waited, with much interest, tlie result of the pro
ceedings.
After the organization of tho court. Gen. Lopez,
being cnUod, advanced towards the bench attended
by his aid J. Sanchez Yzneqa. A.-s he stepped with
u firm and graceful bearing into the open space so flint
he was in view of.the whole assemblage, the nudi-
euce. which hail but a moment before preserved a
brenthless silence, broke forth in a burst of applause
that was utterly beyond tlie, power of Che court and
its Officers to suppress, ioul which demonstrated in
un unmistnkea!ile manner, tlie sentiment of our peo
ple towards the distinguished stranger.
Judge Niooll, after rebuking in a very drilled
nnd proper manner this nmniiestsiibu of popular fuel
ing inn court of justice, directed the ease to proceed-
The warrant, with -tho purport of which!General
Lopez bud previously been mode acquainted, win is
sued upon the affidavit of the Spanish Tice Consul,
and the charge preferred was in the words follow
ing :
. ‘-Thathe. (the w'p umb) is informed and believes
from circumstances and reliable sources of knowl
edge and information, nnd from reports published
from time to time in the newspapers oi the day, mid
from tlie general end prevalent belief among the citi
zens of this County and State. Which the deponent
believes to be well founded, and irom evidence id-
folded to liim of admissions made by tile person
thereinafter charged, accused and mentioned, flint
Narciso Lopez, commonly called General Lopez, did,
ou or about the 1st day of May, 18,)D, within the ter
ritory and jurisdiction of tho United States, to-wit:
in tlie city of New-Orleans, in tlie Htntc ot Louisiana,
in lilt! said United Urates, begin and set oil foot, a cer
tain military expedition and entarprize, to be carried
on from thence against tlie territory and dominions
of a certain foreign prince, and ot u cerium foreign
state, to-wit: against a certain island called tile island
of Culm, the said island being then and there it por-
i Hon of the territory-and dominions ot a certain for
eign prince, to-wit: of in r Catholic Majesty, Isabel
la tlie Second. Queen of Spain, and ol iccertam for
eign urate, to-wit: of the kingdom ot Spain, with
which saiil foreign prince and state, the said United
States are and then ami there were at pence, and did
tiien and there provide anil prepare the means loi the
said military expedition und enterprize, contrary to
tin: laws of the said United States ol America.”
On the opening of tho case Mr. District Attorney
Williams moved tlie court for an adjournment of
the case until Monday, iu order that he might have
time to collect testimony important to tho govern
ment. Objection being made by die counsel for tho
defence, who urged the injustice of detaining Gen.
. Lopez over'Sunday, especially as he* was on his way
to the city where tho allcdged offence had been com
mitted, and where tho best testimony for tlie govern
ment could lu- obtained, Judge Nicoll overruled Hie.
motion of the District Attorney, and directed that the
cuse proceed.
Several witnesses were then called on tbe part of
tlie government, some of whom being sworn testifi
ed in substance that they knew nothing of their own
knowledge or from any admissions of Gen. Lopez,
respecting hie having “sot on foot” n military expe
dition within the territories of tbe United States.
This being tlie only ground on which Gen. L. was
amenable to the laws of tbe United States, and it
appearing that none of the witnesses were competent
to testify to the fact alleged, the District Attorney an
nounced to the court liis determination to proceed no
further in tlie examination, nnd to leave tho case in the
hands of tlie court. Whereupon the court rendered
its decision as follows.
The Court—No sufficient cause to authorize the
commetment of Narciso Lopez being proved, it is
ordered that lie lie discharged.'
Tills decision was received by the people with the
liveliest demonstrations of approbation, and before
it was possible for tbe General to retire from the court
room the crowd pressed eagerly around to shake him
by tho hiuid and tender their hearty congratulations

States.

The General was accompanied to liis lodgings by n
large portion of the crowd, who cheered him fre-
qiie-oUy on the way to Hie Hotel. From the steps
of the hotei, Mr. Gualding made some remarks on
his behalf tendering liis grateful acknowledgements
to file people of Savannah, for the kind and hospi
table treatment lie had received nt their builds.
We were sorry to observe in the crowd which ac
companied Gen. Lopez from the Court House to tlie
City Hotel, some slight mauifestaHons of disapproba
tion of- the conduct ot Mr. Doon, at whoso instance
the arrest was made. The feeling, doubtless, was the
offspring of impulse, and not tlie result of reflection
upon his course as Vice Consul of Spain, nnd, we
doubt not, that those who shared in it, have, ere this,
become convinced of its injustice. As a conscien
tious officer nnd good citizen, Mr. Doon could not
have done less than advise Hie Spanish Ministers of
the presence of Gen. Lopez ip our city, and it was
equally his duty to obey the instructions received
from Washington City in regard to his arrest.
Mr. Williams, tlie U. S. District Attorney, deserves
grent credit foi the manner in which lie conducted
the proceedings, as the prosecuting officer of the
Government, in tlie face of such decided demonstra
tions of popular sympathy with the accused. His
course was dictated by a just,sense ol' the obligation
imposed by his office, the respect due to the laws of
the country, nnd n delicate regard for the feelings
and rights of tho distinguished foreigner whom it
was his duty to arraign.

&ater and important!
Landing of General Lopez !!
RESULT OF THE EXPEDITION !
*i 1 '
Tlie Isabel, whose arrival from Havana lias been
looked for with so much anxiety lor the past few
days, reached our port Saturday morning about 4 o'
clock, bringing Havana dates to the 22d instant She
also brings 113 passengers General Lopez and Staff',
with several of tho volunteer officers of tlie expe
dition.
By this arrival wo are put in possession of the
letters of our attentive Havana Corresponieut,
which will lie found below giving all account of tbe
failure of the attack upon Hie island, by Hie Americans
under tlie command of Gen. Lopez.
From a member of the General’s staff' we received
tbe following particulars of the movements of the ex
pedition.
Gen. I.orEZ sidled from New Orleans in tbe
steamer Creole, with n portion of his force, on tho
7Hi inst., nnd landed nt the Isle ot Woman, on the
14th, win re he remained two days. Previous to
leaving that Island on the 17th. the General learned
that there were some 20 or 30 men who were unwil
ling to proceed with liim, on which he issued an
order that nil who were dissatisfied might return to
Novy Oilcans in the bark Geqrginito, on board which
vessel, passage, etc., was provided for them. About
thirty men availed themselves of t'nis^ppnrtunity to
withdraw from the expedition, and the General sailed
on the 17th, with COO men rank and file, for Cardenas,
which place lie reached on Sunday the 19th, ef
fecting a landin'.: about I o'clock in the morning.
Owing to some delay in getting on shore, one of
the hoars having grounded, tlie garrison, numbering
about 100 men, got intelligence of their approach, and
were thus prepared to offer n spirited resistance to
tho advance of the Americans into the town. After
a brief engagement, however, hi which the pup-iota
behaved handsomely, tho town was surrendered
tend the govenpr made prisoner to Hie invaders.
Sonic of tho troops who escaped from the town, tore
up a portion of the railroad in order, to-preveut the
Americans from penetrating into the interior. As the
intelligence of the attack ou Ciu-dc-nas must have rea.
died the Government nt Havana on the evening of
the day in which it was made,-and as u few hunrs
would serve to concentrate « large force, by sen nnd
bark his small force, and effect a landing on the oth
er extreme of tho Island, by which means he hoped
to lio able to distract the attention of the Govern
ment, and avoid any serious collision with its forces
until tho expected reinforcements, both from 'the
States, and from the Cubans could lie received, Ac
cordingly tbe troops were re-embarked in good order
ut-9 o’clock in the evening. After a skirmish witlia
small irregular force which attacked their rctirciug
column.
Speaking of tills nttnok, tho Key West Correspon
dent of the Republican says : .
In the evening nliout sundown, a hundred and
twenty lancers marched into the city. A part took a
position in one street to cut off' a retreat. The others,
fifty in number, charged tlie Americana and were all,
with one exception, shot down. The lance that es
caped showed reckless valor—twice, single handed
and alone, ho charged—ut the second charge liis horse
win killed, liis iirm was broken und he taken prisoner,
and brought here. In this attack no assistance was
rendered by the citizens. On tlie contrary, the Cap
tain of the lancers was found to be tlie very man who
hail feasted the officers sumptuously nt i inner, and
made them believe that he was with them.
One of the Aids of Gen. Lopez, Gen. Conznles,
lays here badly, hut supposed not dangerously,
wounded. Col. O’Uni n, of Kentucky, is al o wound
ed, but not dangerously. Capt. I.ogim, of Kentucky,
died of his wounds, and liis body was thrown over
board tho day after they left Cardonas. Among those
killed was. an Episcopal parson from the West,Whose
name I have not loomed.
Ill attempting t,o get to sen, the stenmer. got aground
where she remaind six hours, in sight of land, ex
pecting the momentary arrival of the .Spanish war
stenmer from Havana. The vessel got alloat, how
ever, und put to sea.
After leaving the land out of sight, sho changed her
course nnd soiled for Mantua, n small port on tho
eastern portion of tho Island. At this juncture a
portion ol' the men notified the officers that they were
unwilling to return to Culm without reinforcements,
and expressed tlieir determination to go to Key
West. Gen. Lopez remonstrated* with them, and
urged Uiem to return with him to Mantua, where they
would be reiuforced before the Government troops
could he directed against them. But a considerable
portion of tlie men steadily refused, and ordered tho
vessel to bead for Key West. Gen. L. refused to give
the order, and begged to be landed with those that
wore willing to follow him, or alone with his staff',
at some point on tho Island of Culm ; but the vessel
was put on her course to Key West, und armed men
stationed by tlie compass to see that her direction
was not changed.
Shortly before reaching Key West, tlie Spanish
wav steamer, Fitarro, hove in eight, and closely pur
sued theOeoZs, which she would doubtlessly have over-
ttkeu, had she not got aground in approaching the
port. As it was, she leached tlio' wharf a few niiutcs
after the arrival of tlie Creole. Thd Spanish officers
offered a reward of $130,000 fur the delivery of Gen.
Lopez, mid held a consultation in reference to the
propriety of boarding the Creole in the harbor of Key
West. She also threw up her ports and prepared to
fire into her, but was prevented by oue of our nation'
al vessels, , which placed licrselt in line with
the Creole and hoisted tile American colors.
The Creole was seized by ibe officers of the V. S.
Govcnment on her arrival lit Key West, and Gen.
Lotez ufler giving to the officers and men of liis par
ty all tho money in his possession, took passage with
liis staff'and several of the American officers in the
Isabel, in which steamer they arrived here this mor-
niug.
We understand that General Loeez will take the
cars to-morrow morning for Mobile. We found him
pi good spirits, though'deeply regretting tlio untoward
course of events. He is not discomfited in spirits
and looks with confidence to tlie day when the cause
for which lie hgs striven so earnestly nnd in which lie
hns periled so much will triumph. He is r.n exceed'
ingly agreeable personage, mid we should think him
a mail in every, respect calculated to inspire the con'
fiileucc and respect of these with whom lie is asso
ciated.
The Fizzaro fell iu with the Gcorginnu on lier way
from the isle of Woman to New-Orleans and took oh'
the returning volunteers, whom she carried to Havana
ns'pvisoDrrs. • She then took four companies of Span
ish troops to Cardenzns, where 6he arrived after the
Creole had got to sea with Gen. Lopez and liis party,
whom she pursued to Kc y West
HAVANA, May 22, 1853.
W. T. Thoki-son,
Dear Sir : We beg reference to cur respects of
the 8th inst., and hand you tlie annexed report:
We subjoin an extract of a letter we have just re
ceived from Cardenas, from which you will observe
tlmt tbe invading Expedition met with no sympathy
from tlie inhabitants. It is said Hint even the convicts
whom they liberated from prison, refused to join
them.
The rumors which have prevailed respecting these
events during tlie past few days hnve been very vari
ous and conflicting ; and of course a great deal of ex
citement was occniioued. We believe wo give you all
tlie intelligence that can be considered authentic. It
appears certain that this attempt of Lopez, about
which so much wus talked and written, lias proved a
miserable failure ; not likely to encourage any other
adventurers to repeat Hu: same experiment.
Lopez, und his party landed in a steamer, whicli
we understand is the “ Creole." To which point they
linve now gone, is of course uncertain, although it it
not probable that they will renew tlieir attempts as
landing oil tho Island. Tho Government steamers,
are all on the search for them.
Tho Falcon brought nothing new from Guilfornin,
as tbe mails bail not reached Chngres, when tlie Fal
eon left.
We understand the Georgln took out nliout 1100
passengers for Chngres. ThAiassengers in transit,
during their stay here, were not allowed to land,
which must be considered a judicious and necessary
measure under tlie cricumstances, while there was so
much excitement in tlie city.
There was said to have been some informality in
the papers of tie Fulcon, wliich’inight subject her to
detention. But if so, every thing was arranged, and
her departure was not retarded.
The Government declared the Island in u state of
Blockade, which measure may subject'vessels com
ing within Hie Spanish waters to some scrutiny. But
we believe that merchant vessels, engaged iulawiul
traffic, will he exposed to very trifling, it uny incon
venience, unless their papers should not be in order.
The Cholera is very much on the decline, and, in
fact, nothing hns been heard about it tor tho last few
days, owing to the greater excitement occasioned by
tlie expedition.
We we truly, dear sir, yours most obedient,
carrying with them the Governor and one ,
officers, besldcr the money they robbed from n
Bul.lic Treasury. They had a second action bef
leaving, and several were killed on boffisij,,, ' C
