ADDRESS OF GENERAL LOPEZ.
Freemen of America ! In an ago when the des
potism of an Old World are font crumbling to the
ground, in spite of the myriads ot bayonet, by
which they are vainly propped, it cannot be that
one of the moat oppressive and corrupt of them all
should continue any longer to maintain an unnatu
ral dominion over a land almost in sight ot your tree
and happy shores. . .
Two years ago I sought your ever open hospitality,
in consequence of the premature discovery, by the
Bpanlsh Government, ot a then projected insurrection
in Cuba, under my command. Not in vain did I and
my companions in exile rely upon your sympathy
and succor, in such a cause; and a chivalrous band ot
the choicest spirits from among yourselves, nrdent
with the same noble enthusiasm that warmed the hearts
and nerved the aims of Lafayette and Kosciusco, have
now followed mo, to unfurl the flag of freedom on
the fairest and noblest island of the globe; in no sense
as.invaders, but as brethren appealed to by brethren;
as a generous, invoked by a suffering people; in the
name of that liberty so sacred and so dear to every
American heart; to afford the requslto nucleus
around which will gladly rally tho long impatient
patriotism of Cubn herself.
Its notoriety supersedes any need of proving tne
truth which might be attested by clouds ct witness
es. that tyranny was never more bateiul in itseii
nor more hated by its victims, than that which now
afflicts the land where rest the ashes of Columbus.
A weight of taxation such hb has never before in
any age or .country, borne down the energies ot an
equal population, is the least of our evils; though e
are made to behold it employed in riveting our own
chains, in pampering the luxurious vlce °f “ V®,®,
court, and in latteninginsnoate swarms of proud
corrupt officials of every grade, sent u .® r ™““® r ,
the ocean, destitute alike ot sympatby w11h our pe p ,
of interest in- our country, undo! care tor any thing
but the maintenance of their dominion: rod the h -
crease of their extortion For the b™efit ot au aBr
culture throe thousand miles distant, our very bread
is made a dear luxury, by a duty ot ten dollars a. bar
ret upon your flour. The Cuban, indeed,
country, guaranties nor rights. He holds hw p
perty, his personal liberty, bis very existence on his
nativeeoil, at tlie mere pleasuso ot a master whose
absoluteism is more than Oriental. He can scarcely
journey out of sight of his home, extend his hospital
ity for a night to a friend, assemble his acquaintance
for tlie most innocent purpose oi entertainment, with
out the servile necessity ol first obtaining a paid per
mission from some neighboring petty functionary oi
the all-pervading despotism. All the yearly millions
of his money which go to Madrid, do not suffice to
purchase him the right of a single representative
there; nor can he with impunity even utter aloud,
whether iu the form of complaintunder suffering, or
of petition lor redress, a syllable tending to attack the
corrupt interests of his tyrants, or to expose any ol
the abominations of their system.
His sons have no career possible to any degree of
talent, enterprise or ambition. His daughters are not
safe from insult and persecution at the caprice of an
insolent governor. He knows only a press fettered
into utter servility by the severest censorship; a reli
gion fatally tainted in its ministry, through the in
fluence of corrupting association with government so
corrupt; and a justice notoriously venal, while mfal-
libly ruinous if it can entangle him within its grasp.
As a general rule, no office in Cuba is humble enough
to be accessible to the Cuban; bribery and extreme
subserviency affording the only explanation of its rare
exceptions. On a soil capable of sustaining ten mil
lions of prosperous inhabitants, he beholds, in a di
minishing population, the surest proof of misgovern-
high sovcreigiV veto which ft is yours, and yours alone,
to exerciec in fitting-wise, on your side of the broad
Atlantic, upon that attrocicniB menace of on equally
weak and cruel despotism, which, however sure the
failure of any attempt to exercise it, could not even
be defeated without most deplornble consequences.
We invite you, therefore, to come, Freemen ot
America, in your own modes, with your own gallant
hearts and trusty arms, to the shores where your
brethren will rejoice to welcome, honor and rewara
you. The flag of the Republic of Cuba once uni ttried,

A dreadful fire-damp explosion took place this morn
ing at the mines of Bainbridge Sr Byerson on Mill
Creek, n*nr Port Carbon, as the operatives were go

dreadfully burned thirteen of the operatives; some,
it is thought, are past recovery.

demoralized administraiion, from highest to lowest, is
enforced by the visible presence of the soldier at

it is rendered doubly odious by an habitual insolence
on the part of his official masters, as a nationul cast ar
rogating an affected superiority over the subject deg

Toronto, May 30.
The Inspector general stated in the Legislative As
aembly to-day, tliat the Canadian government would
not grant, free navigation to the U. States, unless the
latter assented to a reciprocity of trade.
St. Louis, May 30.
The steamer St. Louts collapsed a Hue on the 28th
hist., below St. Louis, which resulted in the death of
25 persons and 40 very dangerously wounded, some
of them not expected to recover. The Buffering lies
principally among tlie deck passengers.
Apalachicola, May 38,1850.
The barque Norma, took fire last Thursday night
about 12 o’clock, and in the course of 24 hours, burnt
to the waters edge. She had about 500 bales of cotton
on board, which, with tho vessel, was mostly covered
by insurance.
Middling cotton is worth to-day, from 11 to Hi
good middling 11J. There has been some inquiry
for the better grades, a smull lot of fine sold to-day at
Tuesday Morning) June 4, 1S50.
Southern Mutual Insurance Co. Theprompt-
ness with which this company lias discharged its in
debtedness to those insured, who were burned out ot
the April tire, lias greatly increased the demand for in
surance, nnd yesterday we are informed a large num
ber of policies were issued. We would impress upon
our fcitizena tlie importance of insuring their proper
ty, for no one can tell how soon he may have to regret
his neglectiin this important matter.
In another column will be found the address
of Gen. Lopez to the people of the United States. This
should be received of his landing on the Island of
Cuba.

ships have been taken, and 1 cent to N. Y. Several
vessels are repoted to be on their way from Mo

Our receipts reach 130,000 bales in round numbers,
and will probably go to 135,000 bales, if all the cotton
comes forward.
The Fire on Sunday Night.
The building in Broughton-street, belonging to Mrs.
Marshall, which took fire on Sunday night, is so
much injured that it is beyond repair, and, we under
stand, hnndsoVie brick buildings will be erected on
its cite in a short time.
Mrs. Laura Yonge's furniture was greatly damag
ed in being removed. It was valued at $2,500, and in
eured in the.Southern Mutual office of this city, to the
extent of the damage. Several enterprising persons,
in their anxiety to save, threw looking-glasses, crock
ery, etc., from the upper windows to the street, which
as a matter ofcourse’were broken to pieces—their ob
ject was accomplished, the articles escaped being con
suined, and the pieces could be saved. We noticed
one person breaking a mahogany bedstead, valued at
$60, and throwing tlie posts, &c., out of the up ter
windows.
Mr. Wm. F. Chaplain, residing next door to Mrs,
Yonge, had his furniture slightly injured in being re
moved. It was insured to the extent of the damage,
in the Southern Mutual office.
Mr. M. Pendergast’s furniture was .also slightly
injured in being removed. It was insured in Hie
Howard office.
Mr. John Wait, residing weat of Mrs. Yonge, had
his furniture considerably damaged in beingremoved,
No insurance.
Mr. Jos. Lippman's furniture was also injured con
siderably, and had no insurance on it.
We regret to state that Mile Ajielie lost her en
tire wardrobe. No insurance.
The fire, we understand, was the result of accident,
Mrs. Yonge sent a small negro boy to tlie attic to
procure some cotton which waa in a ciosset, and it
supposed a epark from the lamp ignited the cotton,
and eet the buil ling on fire. Our citizens canuot be
too careful in trusting lights to young servants, who
at best, are very careless, and cannot form any con
ception of the misery a moment’s inattention may
It is not merely the cannon and the bayonet, but an
atrocious policy more potent than cither, which have
alone, tlius far, freemen of America, sustained tho
tyranny thus briefly sketched, against, tlie general in
dignation of the people of Cuba. Spain has hitherto
succeeded in paralysing her suffering victim, not alone
by a system of severe and vigilant military police,
rendering it scarcely possible to commence the re
quisite organization for insurrection, but chiefly by
means of the.perpetua. threat of another and bloodier
San Domingo, if she should dare to stir. In pursu
ance of this truly infernal calculation, while she has
studiously excluded the immigration of white labor,
and prevented the organization of local militia, or the
arming of the white population, she has kept pouring
upon our shores, alike against our wishes, the mora;
sense of mankind, and the faith of her own treaties, a
constant importation of Africun savages, (her very
royal family participating largely in the unhallowed
traffic,) to whom she has pointed as ever ready, on tlie
outbreak of a revolution for independence, to be cno-
verted ir.to the instruments of a farewell vengennee
at which the human ruce should shudder.
While Ehglund has proclaimed her purpose <apur-
{ iose now manifestly fast ripening to its fulfilment) of
caving Canada free to go in peace whenever the mass
of its population should desire tlie severance oi the
colonial relation, the brutal barbarism of our tyrants
bas, on the coutrai y, in many forms of expression,
proclaimed that, if driven from Cuba, they would
leave tlie land behind them a crimsoned waste, nnd
that the island should cease to be Spanish only to be
come African.
But in spite of tills menace, the success of which
Heaven is too just, and you are too near, to permit,
the hour has arrived when Cuba can and will no
longer endure die biuiben of her chuins; and acting
in sympathy and concert with the indignant and im
patient patriotism of the island, we go to carry into
effect tlie revolution planned and commenced among
tha sous of tho soil, and to give the long desired signal
for the overthrow of tho worst form of colonial des
potism now existing on the luce of the earth ; to sub
stitute a noble flag of Cuba’s own for that disgraced
hunner, once renowned, whoso twin colors now sym
bolize to us only tlie blood of cruelty, and the gold of
corruption. The flag ia beautiful with three colors
of Liberty, and shines with a stur of kindred lustre I
to the constellation of your own. We give it to the
winds in the same holy cause, in the strength of tlie
sauie sacred principles, in the same resolved spirit
and in firm trust in the same protecting Providence,
the supreme urbiter of national right, as when your
fathers, too, first raised the hunner which now sweeps
every sea. and committed to tile Heaven-blessed
sword of Washington the high mission of its defence
and its triumph.
We need not invoke your sympathies and your
prayers to follow the career of that flag. They have
never been wonting to the side oi" human rights, on
ovary battle field Between freedom and despotism,
whether in Greece, in Poland, in Columbia, in Hun
gary, or in once more glorious Rome, ever since tlie
God of Nations lias entrusted to your young giant
atrength the ark of the sacred cause. This is no dis
tant struggle, freemen of America, for transatlantic
liberty or nationality ; scarcely can it be called a for
eign one. We are your close neighbors as well as
friends and brethren. Our shore "is almost visible
from your own. Cubn is the well-known key of your
GuU of Mexico, across which it blocks and guards
the outlet of your-wholo Mississippi Valley, like a
watch-dog stretched across the threshold of y our door.
No Europeuu Monarchy ought to hold a position which
would be made one of fatal evil by alliance with, or
subjection to, any great naval power hostile to you.
Our institutions huve to a great extent identified our
necessary destinies. Thousands of your l'ellow-citi-
zeus, and many millions of your property, ure already
established among us; and your contiguity, and a con
stant intercourse, which ail the restraints of Spanish
jealousy could only discourage but could not whol
ly prevent, have made irrepressible the noble as
pirations we have learned from you and are now
' obeying.
We want and we ask no aid against-the fair
force of the tyrants themselves. Cuba lias nothing
to fear in a atruggle'.im tlie principles of civilized war
fare with Spain alone. We invoke your assistance
solqly farthe purpose of making sure, pfompt, and
i±S bloodless ah possible, that achievement of our in
dependence on which we are now reablved—to sup-
From Jamaica.
Accounts from Kingston to the 14th ult. have-been
received at New Orleans, The Falmouth Post says :
Throughout the whole of -Hits and tlie adjoining
parishes the planters are complaining seriously for
want of rain. The young cane plants possess not'that
green and lively appearance which would lead to the
hope of the next crop being a good one.
The papers confirm former accounts of the degrada
tion of the negro population. It seems from the fol
lowing, which ia taken from tho correspondence of
the Cornwall Chronicle, that the blacks are relapsing
intotheir original African barburism:
In one of your late numbers reference was made to
tlie growing frequency of adultery among the work
ing classes. This I am led to believe arises from two
causes.
1. Tho power and wickedness of those who prac
tice obeah. 2. The want of a divorce bill, which is
applicable to the circumstances of the people.
That obeah or witchcraft is at present advancing
among the negroes, few who know them will deny
The obeah people are generally the most profligate-
qiembers of the community, and exercise unbound
ed power over their dupes, and especially over the
fomales. Two cases which recently came under my
notice will prove this. One obeah man is an old vil
lain, who has brought much mischief in the families
in ills neighbourhood. Superstition will not suffer
the married women to resist his beastly advances, nor
the husband to punish him. This is well known
throughout the district. Another obeah man carried
off a wife from her husband and openly lives with
her. Lately he induced tlie wife of one of his neigh
bors to desert her husband, and live with him in a
house olose to that of her huebnnd. Neither party
had power to resist him. After a time he was carried
to orison, when the wife eought refuge again in her
husband’s dwelling, if the most rigorous measures
ore not adopted to arrest such practices society will
be ruined. The plan suggested by your correspon
dent, I think, is excellent, of severely flogging those
who can be proved guilty of obeah practices ; and I
would propose as an improvement, that when prac
ticable, the chastisement should be inflicted at the
F lace where tho obeah man planted or practised. This
doubt not would more effectually break the spell
by which the people are bound, than any other means
that could be adopted.
StiU Later. The steamship Philadelphia arrived at
New York, and brings Kingston dates to the 21st inst.
The Standard makes the following announcement
of the capture of a slave trader :
We understand that H. M. schooner Bermuda,
Lieut. Jolly, commander has cuptured and brought
into Ocho Rios, a slaver, with upward of 200 slaves
on board. The agent general of immigration nnd
the gentlemen of tne mixed commission were sum
moned to Spanish Town yesterday forenoon, by ex
press, to confer with his excellency, the Govcnor,
as to the disposal, we suppose of the slaver and her
cargo.
Tho Kingston Journal announces the arrival of the
schooner and her prize at Port Royal. The latter was
a Brazilian brig. Her living freight was landed at
Ocho Rios, St. Ann’s, there to await the ordor of the
Governor ns to its disposition.
The immigration from Jamaica to Chagress still con
tinues. Three sloops, crowded with passengers, left
Kingston on the 20th.
Retirement or Mr. Clayton.—The Washing
ton correspondent- of thfc New York Tribune states
unequivoca’ly that Mr. Clayton has it in serious con
templation to retire from the cabinet—from reasons
however, which have nothing to do with his official
acts.
Balance Due—Smashing Ahead. It is calculated
that the value of exports to California, from all the
States on this side of the Rocky Mountains, amount
to $50,000,000—imports of gold dust in payment,
$15,000,000—balance yet due, $35,000,000. If this
Bhould not be paid in nine months, won’t their
some smashing ?
Mr*. Swisslielm and Mr. Webster, Again.
Some time since we published an extract lonmon
article by this woman for tho purpfcse of showing
the character of the abuse directed against Mr. Web
ster by tlie Abolition, Free-soil, frec-tlimking, free
speaking clique of Socialista, Atheists, and Agrarians,
which tho Tribune is the organ. The article pur
ported to have appeared in tlie Tribune, but seems not
have been printed in that paper, though it emana
ted from this vulgar woman, who disgraces the repor
ter’s gallery of the House of Representatives, as its
regular correspondent, und was, doubtlessly, miscred-
ited, from the fuct of its bearing so strong a family
resembiunce to tlie billingsgate abuse and fisli-market
ecandul which make up the staple Conteuta of Hint pa
per. We published tho nrtiele alluded to, much
against our will, that our readers might judge how
ranch respect such assailants ns the Tribune and its
female correspondent were entitled to. But though
witli this motive we udmitted the offensive paragraph
to our columns, we cannot, even to sustain our own
assertions in regard to the character of tlie Tribune
nnd the writer, admit the disgusting article which did
appear irom this woman in a late number of the
Tribune, in vindication of her assault upon tlie pri
vate character of Mr. Webster. The article is not
only coarse, but utterly nausenting, and proves, be
yond a doubt, that tills western virugo is as destitute
of all sense of decency and refinement ns she is of
any true notions of virtue or morality. We think
that our friend who so promptly vindicated the Tri
bune from the charge of having given publicity to
tho first article against Mr. Webster, will agree
witli us, that tlie women’s apology is worse than the
offence.
In the course of her article, after, in effect, reitera
ting her slanderous charge against Mr. Webster,
Mrs. Swisehelm innocently remarks :
It maybe, Mr. Greeley, I nm not competent to judge
of these matters, for having been brought up, and re
siding nearly all my life in a small western village,
where everybody knew everybody’s business, or in
the woods where there is no fear ot observation, the
entire machinery of city life is an enigma. It is a
mystery how people can bear to lie afraid of one an
other, to tremble nnd turn pale lest some one should
find out what they are doing, what they have done, or
what they intend to do. Some creatures are only fit
to live in the wood. I, for one, seldom go out of
them without trespussing on some one’s vested
rights. ,
It is, indeed, a very great pity that the unsophistica.
ted creature could not have been permitted to remain
in her native woods, where, among beasts, she could
hnve found companions better fitted for society. We
think Philosopher Greel<$ has much to answer for
for having brought her from her seclusion into a
world of which she knows so little, nnd for which her
education, tastes and sentiments are so ill suited.

The schr. Madona nt New Orleans, left Tampa Bay
on the 2Istult. Her officers report that ubouttliirty
Indians, with their families had come into Fort
Myers, in order to havp an interview with the Semin
ole delegation, preparatory to their departing West.
They expressed their determination to follow Billy
Bowlegs no longer. Gen Twiggs had had a talk with
Billy Bowlegs. The latter expressed a wish to re
move west, and asked for ten days’ time to consult
witli the chiefs. Gen. T. said he did not care much
for the result of their deliberations; that he was leav
ing Florida himself nnd if they did not depart at the
expiration of ten days he would call out tho volun
teers to force them to go.
The Cuba Expedition. The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Evening^rfletin says:
“Further orders have been issued to-a0 with refer
ence to the Cuban movement. It is said that Gener
al Quitman will bo called upon to clear himself from
all agency in the matter. The Spanish Minister has,
it ia likewise averred, sent a letter of gratulation to
the President.
Sentenced. George Evans, capitully convicted
of murder, at Columbus, Ga., has been sentenced, by,
Hon. R. B. Alexander, Judge of the Superior Court
of Muscogee county, to be hung on the 5th of July
next.
Marriage Extraordinary—At the Catholic church
in Franklin street, this morning, Signor Benedeti, the
celebrated tenor, was married to Signorina Trufti, tlie
charming vocalist. The ceremony was performed by
Bishop Fitzpatrick. The happy pair have taken a cot-

Saturday.
The Pizarro and the Creole. Action of the
U. S. Schooner Petrel. The Editors of the Baltimore
Sun have been favored with the perusal of a letter
from an officer on board the surveying schooner Pet
rel, nt Key West, dated May 22d, giving the particu
lars of the entrance of tho Creole and Pizarro into
that port, and the communication that took plnce be
tween the Pizarro and the Petrel, on that occasion.
From this it appears that Lieut. Rodgers, of the Pe
trel, did furnish the Pizarro with a pilot, as requested,
but he left tlie steamer, in his boat, and on returning,
stated that when he told them to steer noth-west they
steered north-east, and that a file of soldiers was sta
tioned on the quarter-dock to Bhoot him, in ease he
should run her on a shoal. Under such circumstan
ces, he thought it best to leave, giving ns an excuse
that he would return on bo ard the schooner, and
thutthe Pizarro could follow her through the chan
nel.
The Petrel then started through the channel, but
observing that the steamer did not follow, Lieut
Rodgers lowered his boat and proceeded on board the
Pizarro, volunteering his services to pilot them in,
which the commander, much to his surprise, declined,
and told him tliat he should report him to our Gov
ernment for preventing him from li king a pirate, and
asked his name whereupon Lieut. Rodgers handed
him hie curd, and returned to his own vessel.
This letter, in alluding to the invasionists, says
they are most intelligent,men, far above the order of
which such an expedition might be supposed to be

From Texan.
Advices from Gulveston to the 23d ult., state that
very little damage if any, has been done tojhe crops
of Texas, by the overflow of rivers. The weather is
now dry, and no fear is felt from high waters. Sopic
injury hes been done by the long continuance of
rains, operating directly on the fields; but it is yet dif
ficult to say to what extent the damage will go. At
present tho crops are rapidly recovering, and promise
not to fall short of those of last year. 'J
The wheat crop in tlie northern counties of Texas,
which was otherwise highly promising, has suffered
seriously from tlie ravages of rice birds, immense
swarms of which have visited tl-at region,and in some
instances almost destroyed whole fields.
A storm or tornado passed through Grimes county
a short time since,prostrating several houses—among
others the court house nt the town of Anderson, the
County seat. The records were not destroyed. The
court house at the sa ne place was destroyed by fire
two or three years since.
The Indians were continuing their depredations
They hod attacked und shot the mail rider n ’nr the
Neucei, and had robbed the settlements ot 130 horses.
The Hydrographic Survey of th?coast was nearly
completed. The depth of Galveston Bay is very far
from uniform, varying from six to fifty-iour feet, this
last being a much greater depth than wo had imag
ined was to be found. Tho channel along this city
varies from eighteen to thirty feet deep. Lieut. Bald
win has found a greater depth of water on our bar,
thnn is generally supposed. The lowest water he
lias found during the whole time he has been emply-
ed on these surveys is thirteen and a half feet, and
this depth was found at the extraordinary low stages
of waters produced by a strong and constant norther
that had continued for three days.
The maximum variation on the bar appears to be
about two feet, giving fifteen and a hulf feet water at
full tides. It is tlie opinion of Lieut. B. that the main
channel is deepening, though very slowly.

half past one, and passengers were landed at two P.

was ten days and fivo hours—no more, no less."
