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- can Homl, unintentionally shot one of tile waiters, Timothy Corrigan, yesterdky afternoon.

Advices from Port an Prince to the 2d inst. linve been’ received at Boston. Gen. Duff Green, the special agent of the United States, had arrived in the U. S. steamer Vixen, and on the27th of April had an official interview with the Emperor and his Ministers, and demanded that a per son should be appointed to meet and confer with him on certain claims he had to present. ThiBwas accorded, and the Government named Devur, the late Minister, as their agent, and a meeting was to take place on the 2d instant. One of the demands will bo for the same rights anil privileges for the United States consular agents that are now enjoyed by other nations, and especially by the English. The matter between Mr. Wilson, the U. 8. consular agent, and the Hayden government, is supposed to be satisfactorily adjusted, as Mr. Wilson was on the point of returning to Cape Hnytien. The sloops of war Albany and Germantown were at Port nu Prince, both short of provisions, and to re turn home. The News by the Europa. The new stenmer Atlantic arrived out in thirteen days, reaching Liverpool on Friduy evening, May the 10th. Her condencmg pumps guve way, and licr floats broke,- proving too frail. She lost 49 hours by tho accident, before which she had attained a very high rate of speed. She will not sail from Liverpool on the 15th ns advertised. Her day of sailing had not been fixed.

All was quiet—not a sin gle arrest occurred. Tim Socialist Journal, La Fondle Duvellnge, was seized iiy order of the Attorney General. Kngland. The chief events of tile week, have been concentrated in steam navigation. The Atlantic waa looked for with great anxiety, nnd with very frirndlv feeling. The'lriBh Trans-Atlantic company have nlready laid an experimental vessel. The government con tracts with tile West India Mail company have been renewed for ten years. The Company are to pro cure new and swifter steamers than those hitherto used. In Parliament an attempt to take oft' the duty on newspaper advertisements failed. One of the wealthiest Lnnnssliire manufacturers, Mr. Threlfall, had been arrested on the charge of for- ging hills to the extent of 40,000 pounds; 12,000 had been discounted when he was taken, but the money recovered. It was thought lie would have left in th e Europe. Lord John Russell is still too ill to introduce the Lord Lieutenancy bill. 0 The crops are looking extremely promising. Liverpool Markets. There have been large sales of cotton during the week at former prices. There is no alteration in the figures from those given by the Hibernia. The week’s sales aro 50,170 bales. The distinguishing feature of the Liverpool Cotton market was n continued firmness at the prices quot-. ed the week previous when the Hibernia sailed There were fi,580 bales American taken by specula tors, 2.380 bales do. by exporters. The Flour market was unimated at an advance of about Is.'per bbl. Sales at tile close, of Philadelphia and Baltimore, at 23s. fid. a 24s., and of Canadian at 23s. fid. The demand for Coffee was chiefly confined to the ordinary qualities—better descriptions were much neglected nnd relatively cheaper. St. Domingo was quoted atOOs fid. to 34s. perewt.

This over flew succeeding the backwardness of the seppon, will we fear, provs very disastrous to our river planters, cutting off-the coming crop very considerably " The News from Culm. In nnoiher column will be found the chief details of the events which have occurred in Culm within the past, 10 days. The news by the Isabel was issued in an extra from this office on Saturday, nnd sent to our city subscribers free of charge. We republish it to-day with some unimportant corrections for the benefit of our subscribers who did not receive our ex tra. Committed.—Justices Russell nnd Eden, before whom tlie individuals charged with setting fire to Winkler’s Mill were examined, have decided to com mit them to jail, to nwnit their triul before tlie Supe lior Court, nt its next session, which will not take place before January next. , Destruction of Cotton uy Fire.—The steam er U. L. Cook, from Augusta, arrived yesterday after noon about 4 o’clock, nnd we are informed that when she was wittiin seven miles of t'aia city about 3 o’ clock, a lighter attached to her, containing 398 bales 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 ing up thirty-eight bales. She returned to the city a- 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 bo on fire was immediately thrown overboard, but in less than ten minutes after the flames burst out witli great violence entirely enveloping the whole lead. rjjF* Mr, M’Douoai.l will give one of his amusing Entertainments this evening, at Oglethorpe Hail. Mr. M’Doun all is worthy of ti large audience, which, we doubt not, he will linve. M’llo. Amilie will assist him in several parts, nnd appear in some of her beautiful Dances. Mr. M’Dougall is said to he equal to tlie celebrated Dr. Valentine, who ln« amused the people of different parts of this country. All who want to have a hearty laugh to dispel the '•blues,” should not fall to bo there. * 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 Henry Williams, Esq. Attorney of tlie United States. R. M. Charlton nnd W. B. Gauldin, Esqrs., Counsel for Gen. Loruz. 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. Gen. Lopez accompanied by his aid Scnor, J. San chez Yznega, took liis departure on Hie ears for Mo bile yesterday morning. Ml NIVAL OF THE 8 Ii i i ©team I SA B E L! &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 unfortunate occurrence lias caused Thi, check to btuim es. “ncntury We have not received any letters from. Havana f the j in p t two days, because at soon as the jiandarriv^ they took possession of the Railroad Cars and Ellg j nnd, it is sal A, sent men upthe country to tear un*' rails. The invaders did not molest the persons of th inhabitants—although nearly every one took raft, on board of Hie vessels of thu harbor. \v e tr « that by to-morrow, entire tranquility will be reator > 1’ and the business of the town go on ns usual. > We open our letter to advise the safe return of Governor, with the two officers captured by l nD ° Ur Near Cayo l’ieilra, they fell In with a fishing kmslk' und it is said that Lopez agreed to put them on boar I on condition tho Gov. would use his influence to s 0 . the lives of those left behind,—five of Lopez’s '! are now ill tho Blocks.
