      FRANCE . Beyisioh of ths Ck > H 5 TiTTrno » . —Several councils of arrondissement , which did not allude to the revision of the constitution at their fint meet . ingi , have lately held iccond sessions , and have expressed their wishes in the affirmative . That of St . Etienne demands the revision at the earliest moment possible . That of Macon has demanded sjbe revision , and also that tbe general elections Stay precede the presidential election by at least three months . The council of Arcis , the only one -jn the department of the Aube which omitted to fotefor reTi 8 . iQU ou Reformer occasion , h « now Remanded it with especial reference to the dangers « f 1852 ) and particularly with respect to Articles 45 and 111 . The council of Neufchatel has denanded the revision , Md rejected a proposition in favour of the repeal of the law of May : 31 .

      That of Dieppe , which voted for revision during its first sittings , has now expressed a wish that the period of the elections should be advanced . The council of arrondissement of Orleans has met for the second p « rt of its session . M . Oudet proposed that the council , approving of the decision come to -by the council-general , in favour of the revision of the constitution , should declare itself in favour of the revision by legal means . This proposition was carried by seven votes to three , one member having abstained . The following is the programme of M . Lamarfine , as published in his journal , ' Le Pays' : —

      ' Our line of policy is as follows ; we feel the necessity of accepting it : —Acceptance of the partial revision of the Constitution in the interest of the Republic ; re . eligibility of the president U the country denies it , and the revised Constitution sanctions it ; candidature of Louis Na poleon Bonaparte , as that of any other citizen , freely left to the vo e of universal suffrage ; preliminary establishment of universal suffrage by the repeal of the law of May 31 ; no personal opposi tion to Louis' Napoleon Bonaparte ; no direct or indirect support of his election by the propagation of Napoleonist prejudices among the . people ; Bonaparte to be considered as a citizen , neither more BOrless . Snch is our line . ' '

      Restriction or Labotjr . —The council-steneral Of the department of the Nord have passed resolutions complaining of the inefficacy of the existing regulations for enforcing the law limiting the hours flf labour in manufactories . Previously to Sept . 1848 no legal restrictions existed , and the -manufacturers , urged on by tbe pressure of ever increasing competition , often employed their work people as much as fifteen hours a day .

      The Municipal Council of Lyons have petitioned fhe government to apply the greater part of the four million of francs , voted on the 9 th of August ] ast for the railway from Chalons to Lyons , in executing the works in the immediate neighbourhood Of Lyons . In support of this request they urge the necessity of providing employment for the nulnerousabhvbodied men who may be expected to be thrown out of work this winter in consequence of the slackness now observable in the Lyons

      manufactures . The * Evenement' has come out under the name Of the * Avenement , ' supported by Victor Hugo , who takes the place of bis condemned sons . Thb War Against thb Prkss . —The government continues , in defiance of common sense , justice , and public opinion , its infatuated crusade gainst the press . The Procureur of the Republic Jias had the ' Avenement du People ' of Thursday evening seized at the post-office and at the office of that journal , and has ordered a prosecution to be Commenced against the responsible editor , for pub * lishing a letter from M . V . Hugo , and an article signed by Augmte Yacquerie , the editor in question .

      The ' Avenement' is prosecuted under the charge © f making an attack on the respect due to the law , * n apology for acts designated crimes or misdemea-Boaxs by tbe penal code ,. and provocation to civil War . The ' . Presse ? of Friday has been also seized for publishing the letter above alluded to , and for Adding an article signed E . de Girardin . Tbe latter paper is prosecuted under the charge of making an Hack on the respect due to the law , and an apology for acts designated crimes or misdemeanours by the penal code . The journals least hostile to the government are bow alarmed at tbe persecution of tbe press . The

      ' Pays , ' a paper which habitually strives to put a favourable construction upon tbe conduct of the ministers , feels called upon to acknowledge that for a long time past accusations of political libels hive heen much too lightly made . It dwells especially upon the bad taste of fixing upon M . Victor Jiugo ' s letter as a subject for prosecution , written , as it was , under the influence of feelings natural to t father whose two sons had just been consigned to a gaol . As to M « de Girardin , his article is incriminated for a single word , and that word is neither § n insult nor a provocation .

      The 24 th of September is fixed for the trial before the Court of Assize of the managers of the' Presse ' gad the ' Avenement du People . ' The Presidency . —M . Sarrans , on behalf of the democratic press of Paris , has sent a circular to all the democratic journals of the departments , requesting them to send delegates to meet in Paris and decide upon the mode of electing a conclave to choose the red candidate for the presidency of the Bepablis . - The Prefect of the AUier has ordered the disarming of all the National Guard in that department .

      . The Assize Court of the Deux-Sevres has sentenced M . Ginestel , the editor of the ' ( Eil du Peuple , ' to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 2 , 000 francs , for an incorrect report of the sittings in which the case against the' A B C DemocratiquV was tried . The responsible editor was sentenced to 100 francs fine . The ' Suffrage Universei' of Montpelier has been seized for prosecution . Several of the persons recently arrested in Paris , in connexion with what is called the Paris conspixacy , have been set at liberty within tbe last few dsys . It is said that the number of prisoners com * promised does not exceed sixty . The Revisionist movement continues in the councils of arrondissement . About thirty of the councils , which had abstained in the first part of their session from expressing any opinion , have Bow passed resolutions in favour of revision .

      The'Messaeec de l'AssembleV has pronounced IB favour of the fusion . This would look as if there was some screw loosa about General Changarmer , Whose candidateship for the Presidency of the Republic has probably met with an unpleasant check . By a decree in the ' Moniteur , ' Colonel Couston , who so lately presided over the court-martial at Jryons for the trial ot Gent and others , is promoted to the grade of commander in the order of the Legion of Honour . The Prefect of the AUier has issued an order , directing all the National Guards of that department to deposit with the mayors of their communes their arms and accoutrements within a delay of five days . These arms are to be re-distributed when new lists shall have been made out . The conductors of the' Presse' and

      the'Evenewent' have each been condemned to 1 , 000 francs fine , and six months' imprisonment . If the' Presse' and' Avenement should be condemned to suspicion , both papers are prepared to reappear , the former under the name of the ' Presse & b 1851 / and the latter under the new title of ( he * Revenant . ' Three fresh seizures of newspapers have been made in the provinces , at Alontpellier , in the Averguoo and the Basses-Pyrenees . Police Tyranny and Espionage . —M . Pascal

      yuprat , the democratic representative of the Landes , has been paying a visit to the annual fete at Barbaste , in the conterminous department of the Lotet-Garonne . He was invited to pass the day at the country-house of M . Dubroca , a wealthy proprietor , in whose spacious grounds a large concourse of friends , accompanied by some thousands of citizens , tad assembled to do honour to the eloquent member of the Mountain . M . Pascal Duprat was about to return thanks for his friendly reception , when a tagadier of gendarmes came forward with two of »» men , and wanted to stop him from speaking . MnHV ?

      ay or of Barbaste being appealed to stated that he was not aware of any orders of the prefect inter , ceding the present assembly ; whereupon the brigadier asserted that a special decree bad been issued applicable to the property of M . Dubroca . The mayor answered that he was responsible for the maintenance of order , and would invoke tbe intervention of the police on the first utterance of an unconstitutional cry . As there was no reply possible , M . Duprat was suffered to commence his speech ; but presently the brigadier returned and redemanded his papers . Hereupon the orator stopped , unfolded his passport , and showed bis medal as representative of the people . No sooner had he resumed ( ban his interpreter , who had momentarily' disappeared in the crowd to receive the orders of a

      secret agent of police ,: came back , and using alternately menace . and entreaty , said at last in a low tone , 'Stop youmuit , else . I have orders to arrest you . ' ' Make this declaration in writing , ' said the orator , * and I retire at once . ' The gendarme refused . -A murmer of indignation rose from the crowd . Finally , apprehending that the excitement manifested at this gross interference of the authorities with a perfectly legal and harmless proceeding might lead to some regrettable disturbance of the peace , the . representative of the Landes exhorted his audience to offer no resistance , but to disperse quietly after giving a cheer for the Republic . Thus terminated this extraordinary scene , which exhibits in a striking light the degree of liberty enjoyed under the passing phase of the French Republic .

      ITALY . The Papal States . —The French Court-Martial at Rome tried on the 26 th ult . seven Italians , working men , or farm labourers , for having assaulted a French sergeant , named Lftcbaume , at Viterbo . On the 7 th of July the sergeant was standing before the guard-house , when nine Italians came up . One of them produced a large knife , and brandished it menacingly at the sergeant . The sergeant , attempted to seize it , but the others pelted him with stones , and injured him rather severely . He called out the guard , and three of the . men were arrested ; four others , being recognised , were subsequently taken ; the other two could net be . discovered .

      AH the accused denied that they were on the spot at the time . Two of the band , named Delfaello and Allegrini , were condemned to two year ' * ' imprisonment ; Comparini to one year ' s imprisonment ; . ' and the other four , Stella , Mole , Boccucci , and Bertaelli , were acquitted . ; The Court on the 28 th ' ult ' . tried five men for having been concerned in the throwing a stone at a French patrol , in . the night of the 30 th of July , from the window of a public-house in ' . tbe Borgho Vecchio . The five men were-arrested because they had all slept in the same room , but before the court it could only be proved that one of

      them , named Fugini , had thrown the stome , and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment ; The others were acquitted . A stonemason , named Gigli , was then sentenced to six months' imprisonment for having thrown stones at a French patrol on the evening of the , 3 rd of August . The Court next tried a carter-named Manocchi for having illegally carried a cutlass , and drawn it against some soldiers of the 32 nd , With whom he had got into a dispute at a public house . - He Was sentenced to six months' imprisonment , seventy-five francs fine , and the costs .

      Letters from . Rome , of tbe 12 th inst ., state that the ex-Triumvir Caiandreih bad been transferred to Ancona , and placed heavily ironed among tbe convicts sentenced to hard labour for life . Dr . Ripari experienced a similar fate . - The ' Risorgimento * of Turin quotes a letter from Ancona of the lltb , stating that the curates of . that province having addressed a petition to the Austrian commandant of Ancona , praying that the inhabitants might he permitted to have arms for felf defence against the numerous brigands that infest the country , and this petition having been ac companied by-v letter from Cardinal Soglia , the commandant ' s answer was , that it was only out of consideration for the cardinal , whom he could not suspect of revolutionary . intentions , that he would refrain from bringing . the citrates before a court , martial .

      NAPLES . —A letter from Naples of the 2 nd , in the ' Costituzionale' of Florence , states that the Supreme Court of Justice has overruled the objections started against the competency of the tribunal by the persons now under trial for the affair of the insurrection of the 15 th of May , 1848 . The objections were—1 st , the royal amnesty for all acts committed on the 15 th of May ; 2 nd ! y , the accused being deputies at the time , and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Peers only * , 3 tdly , Signor Scialoia being a minister at the time , and Signer Leopardi on an embassy to the Court of Sardinia . The public prosecutor bad consented to the third objection , but . tbe Court overruled them all by five votes to four .

      Neapolitan Atrocities . —The Neapolitan government is defending its acts of cruelty towards political prisoners , in the form of a reply to Mr . Gladstone , an analysis of which appeared in the 'Times ' of Monday , The pamphlet expresses deep regret that the right hon . gentleman did not apply to the proper authorities for information . The 'Times' correspondent gays ;— 'I have no doubt that the government answer will be deemed triumphant at Naples , but public opinion here and with us is based on different grounds , and the names of the Earl of Aberdeen and Mr . Gladstone give a weight to tbe accusation , against which an array of facts or figures offered from here is not likely to prevail . '

      The correspondent of the ' Daily News , ' writing on the same subject , says : — ' The president of the grand criminal court , Navara , who conducted the illegal trial of Poerio and his companions , and is now playing the Judge Jeffreys with the victim of royal vengeance , has been rewarded by having his son appointed keeper of public records in the Abruzzi ; one of the most valuable gifts of the crown . The same gentleman is also made a cavalier . His Majesty thus rewards the violation of the courts of justice . '

      ' After tbe publication of Mr . Gladstone ' s letters , seventeen compositors were thrown into prison , and some printing offices shut up , because it was supposed Mr . Gladstone's revelations would be reprinted in Naples . And yet the government is preparing an answer to the very accusations which the public are not to read . On a late occasion tbe Minister of Police , Pecche . neda , wrote to the sub-mayor of Melfi ( the scene of the late earthquake ) for information as to two gentlemen whose political opinions were supposed to be hostile to the government . These unhappy men had lost mother , wife , child—every relative , in the ruins of their dwellings ; and yet , with such an accumulation of misery around them , they were arrested on suspicion .

      The government is now employed in confiscating the property of absent members of the Neapolitan parliament . This act , prohibited by tbe old Ian as well as the new , is performed without any trial or regard to families , whose ruin the government systematically contemplates . Since Mr . Gladstone ' s letters have appeared none hut the near relatives of prisoners are allowed to visit either the accused or the condemned . On a late occasion an aunt took her niece to visit a prisoner confined in Santa Maria Apparente . The turnkey said the young girl could not pass , but that she might remain in his room . No sooner had the aunt moved on than this scoundrel made improper advances to the unprotected girl , who , by violent screaming , saved herself .

      The governor of tbe lagno , at Ischia ( where Poerio is chained in a cave below the level of the sea ) lives publicly with a mistress , and to this woman the mother , the wife , the child must apply when they visit tbe father and the husband . The woman it appears , has so much influence over her innamorato that she actually threatens the prisoners with flogging . All this is known to the government —probably known to Prince Lujgi , who , as grand admiral , has full control over the island prisons ; and yet we hear so much about religion and morality in high quarters .

      LOMBARDY . — -The 'Milan Gazette' of the 15 th publishes a notification from Lieut . Marshal Scbulzlg , commandant of the fortress of Mantua , announcing that Count Alexander Arrivabene , late lieutenant in tbe Austrian army , has been condemned by court-martial to be hanged , for having written and spread an article entitled ' The Secret Agitators , ' containing injurious expressions against the government , and , moreover , for having a stiletto and a tricolouted scarf in his possession ; but that the punishment has been commuted into that of two years' imprisonment , in consideration of the said Count Arrivabene having fought bravely on the Austrian side in the late war of Italy , although he knew that his father and brother were fighting on the other side .

      been introduced on 'Change . It it the opinion of the most respectable moneyed men in Vienna that the active interference of the police authorities in such matters is highly injurious to the credit of the country , preventing , as it does , ' a free and natural digestion of the public funds , state paper » & c . ' The fact is , that people are terribly hampered in their movements , it being notorious that no speculation , whether on the fall or the rise , can be undertaken without its becoming known to the police authorise * . A Civil and Military Governor ( not Palatine ) of Hungary has at length been appointed in the person of Albrecht , the eldest son of the ; late Archduke Charles ; BaMa Gfthlfingel ? w ! jll probably be taken Into ' the Reichsratb . 1 ,. " ; , "' ; . " , ' . ' , ; . r

      - Archduke Albrecht has been appointed civil . ; and military governor of unfortunate Hungaryr-an , appointment of small promise for the inhabitants of that groaning kingdom . The character of the new governor is a guarantee that the iron rule under which Hungary suffers will be redoubled rather thau relaxed ; Archduke Albrecht is arevengeM , arto gant , tyrannical man ; whose disposition has caused him much unpleasantness , when commander-inchief in Lower . Austria . ' He it was who commanded

      the troops . from whose muskets the first shots were fired upon the . people in the month of March , 1848 . Subsequently he was sent into Italy to avoid the consequences of this act ; he remained there until the beginnina of last year , when the army in Bo . hernia was placed under his command . Thenume . rbus executions which have tak ' ei »; place in Prague between' the end of 1849 and now are attributed to his unmerciful disposition by the public , the Hungarians will not receive mercy nor gentleness at his hands . ¦< •'

      Vienna , Sep . 20 . —By the ordinary course of post , information ought to have arrived here of the embarkation of Ko : suth and his companions from Kutahia ; but as' no intimation of . that event , has reached here , if is believed that the government wilfully suppress it . Kossuth was to have left Constantinople on the 13 th inst . * Sept . 21 . —Tbe public functionaries have commenced taking the oath according to the new form . In this formula the passage is omitted which refers to the constitution , and the functionaries only take the oath of allegiance to thf king and to the 8 tatea . A letter ' 'from : the 'Emperor ; announces that every

      functionary who shall refuse to take > the oath shall immediately resign office . - i ¦ : The military commandant of Lemberg , in Galicia , a Prince Schwarzenberg , made known to bis officers the ordinances of the 20 th of August , with the following words : —f Gentlemen , Ibaye to announce to you that the faithful army of his Imperial Majesty has gained another victory , , 't hold in my hand the imperial decrees by which the constitution and every thing connected with it is abolished ; In communicating this joyful intelligence to you I . must request that you will hot express your gratification in places of public resort ; ar such conduct might give rise to demonstrations againsti-the government . '

      The Minister of War has issued a decree to the governors of the military colleges , prohibiting for the future the juvenile pupils in these establishments from spending their holidays at bome / in ' order to prevent their minds from beinz contaminated , and to . keep them faithful to . ' ; their Emperor and his government . ' . The same decree makes known that the colleges are to be removed to the neighbourhood of small towns , where the > danger of mental infection of apolitical kind is of course much smaller .

      ¦ PRUSSIA : The offence of- ' abusing officials in the discbarge of their duty' is on the increase ; ten charges are reported in the last number of the legal journal . The . officials . have become more , sensitive , or . the public less guarded . In one case a , man is sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment for accusing a watchman of binding himself when he was wanted , ' which , considering that if you have no door key , you are dependent on that functionary / or admissiori ; and half an hpuron . a door step on a rainy night is something of a provocation , seems severe . , Another citizen is condemned to a month ' s confinement on a charge of telling a lieutenant ' not to make an ass of himself ; the

      said lieutenant having refused him passage through a barrack yard , by drawing his sword and pointihg it at the defendant ' s breast , the officer being at the same time in the citizen ' s debt for ci gars ! The man denied " using tbe words , natural as they , would appear ,, and two soldiers swore it was a brother officer who gave the friendly advice as he came up and put the sword aside . But the ' comrade' declared- it was contrary to military etiquette to interfere in such a case'between a soldier and his wrath , and as somebody must have used the epithet , the citizen is imprisoned for it . If the non-interference principle is the rule , the Berlin military code is of a ' nice morality . '

      Tbe brother of the ex-President . of Police of 1848 , Von Minutoli , was murdered in that year in Meinengen . Three persons accused of the crime have just been sentenced in the Court of Appeal ; the one who fired the shot by which the deceased was killed is condemned to be beheaded by the axe ; and others ! as accessories , to imprisonment for life .

      . GERMANY . A telegraphic despatch , dated on the 18 tb , from Frankfort , and received on the same day in Pans , announces that the Senate of the city would publish on the following day a federal resolution abolishing the fundamental rights ( grund rechte , ) and would present to the legislative body a bill of great rigour against the press . . FRANKFORT . —The following resolution on the liberty of the press was adapted on the 22 nd of August by tbe Germanic Diet : — 'The Assembly charges the political commission appointed on the

      10 th of July by the Conference of Dresden to pro . pose to it as promptly as possible some general law , to prevent the abuse of the liberty of the press , and invites the Federal governments , even before the promulgation of the depositions , to employ every legal measure for the suppression of newspapers or periodi . cals which have an Atheist , Socialist , and Communist tendency , or which aim at the subversion of monarchy . The person guilty of this shall be duly punished . The assembly likewise invites tbe government to furnish themselves with every legal method for carrying this out .

      HAMBURGH . The ' Independence Beige' says : — ' Our correspondent at Hamburgh mentions a very grave rumour , which has been some days in circulation in that city , and has caused great disquietude . It is to the effect that the Germanic Diet intends nothing less than to suppress the independence of the three free towns , Hamburgh , Bremen , and Lubeck , and to incorporate them in other German states ! Hamburgh is to fall to Prussia . We mention this rumour with reserve . Tbe fact itself would constitute a very grave affair , and all the powers which signed the treaties of Vienna would have to intervene . It cannot , therefore , yet be definitively settled , even if it be true that the project has been submitted to the Germanic Diet . '

      SPAIN . A private letter , dated Madrid , Sept . 14 tb , says :-- « T he Spanish government has adopted a high tone towards that of the "United States ; and as public feeling is decidedly in favour of such a line of conduct just now , it will render itself popular by so doing . Moreover , it counts upon the support of the British and French governments ; hence probably its pugnacity . ' Despatches are on the point of being transmitted to the Spanish minister at Washington , directing him to protest in the strongest terms against the supineness of the American government in having permitted a second marauding expedition to attack Cuba , and to demand satisfaction for the outrages the Spanish consul at New Orleans has been subjected to by the annexationists .

      . A reinforcement of 4 , 000 men has been just sent to Cuba . Madrid , Sept . 20 . —The government Is taking active measures to despatch considerable reinforcements to the Havannah . For this purpose guns and men have already arrived at Cadiz . Great satisfaction is expressed at the attitude taken by France and England on the Cuba question . ~

      UNITED STATES . Arrival of the Atlantic—The ; steam-ship Atlantic arrived in the Mersey from New York on Wednesday morning . By this arrival we have later dates from Cuba , from which it appears that four of the prisoners had been liberated by the Captain-General , Concha , at the entreaty of Captain Piatt , of the United States ship Albany . It is reported that the Captain-General stated he would have liberated tbe remainder , but for the riots at New Orleans . Among the items in the hew York files we find the following : —

      ' Baltimore , Sept . 12 . —Passengers in the cars from York , Pennsylvania , furnish the following details of the attempted artett of some fugitive slaves ,

      It appears that Edward Gorsucb , and his son . Dickinson Gorsucb , residents of Baltimore county , accompanied by Nicholas Hutchinson , Joshua Nelson , Doctor Thomas Prince , Joshua Gorsucb , and others , went to Christiana , to recover some fugitive slaves , who ran off a year ago , belonging to Edward Gorsucb . Upon nearing the house where the fugitives were , some negroes , armed with muskets , & c , rushed upon them and prevented them from entering . A large crowd of whites and negroes soon assembled , and were commanded by the marshal to assist in the capture , but they refused ., Mr . Gorsucb and his friends being completely overcome , retired , when they were fired : upon by the negroes , from the * windows of * houses , and were also attacked

      by the . crowd . -Edward Gorsucb was shot » n the breast , and fell dead . His son , Dickinson , was shot in the arm and shoulder , and died . - Both the deceased were afterwards ' beaten with clubs . The other" Mr . Gorsucb '" was also * mortally '"' wounded . Doctor Thomas , Prince was shot and badly beatenr and it is feared he cannot survive . . Messrs . Hutchinson and Nelson escaped ' to ' Phlladdphia . ' Two or three of the negroes were also shot ' .: Such wasihe violence ; of the attack that none of the survivors could remain with the wounded , but : escaped as they best could . ; The crowd of blacks " and whites numbered about 200 , and none interfered to save the lives of our citizens . The gentlemen from Baltimore county are amongst our mosjt respected citizens . The excitement in Baltimore is most in-¦

      tense . . ., , .. .. ' , . P ^ BAV THE CUBAN INVASION . — CAPTURE AND KXKCU

      TION OP LOPEZ . The following i » the account of the capture and execution of Lopes and his followers , aa brought by the steam-ship Cherokee " ;— . . . # . General Lopez was . garroted in Havana . Passengers who witnessed the execution state that he ended his life manfully . This mode of punishment is horrible . The victim is bound and an iron collar placed around his neck , which is gradually tightened by means of a screw , till the sufferer ceases to exist . Previous to the death of General Lopez , he declared that he had been greatly deceived in regard to promised aid in Cuba . 'We . learn that' Colonel Pragay , ^ . the gallant Hungarian ^ and ' ' the " friend 6 f'Kossuth , bad been shot at Pagas ... ! ! 1 ... ; . „ ¦ ,... ; . ' ; . ..,... ¦• ¦' ¦> ,.....

      , A . meeting of passengers was held on board the steamer Cherokee , at ; which General Lane , of Oregon , presided , and the following resolution was unanimously , passed : — ' Resolved , —That Mr . Owen ; the American consul at Havanna , has forfeited every right' : and title to be regarded as an American citizen ; that he has outraged every sentiment of humanity , and deserves the execration of every friend , of liberty . ' " ' ' ' ; Another resolution requests his recall by the American government . '

      It seems that Lopez was taken in the interior , wandering alone—nearly exhausted , from fatigue and hunger . He asked for- something to eat at a ' farm-house , and permission to lie . down ; , while asleep he was bound and made prisoner . . - Of his followers , 155 are now imprisoned , and are to be sent to Spain . for ten years' imprisonment . These men say their sufferings' before taken -were intense . For several days they lived on the leaves of trees , and the last meat they ate was the horse of General Lopez . They had no arms when taken , the remainder of the party have either been shot or have perished from hunger . ' ;'; t " .,. . '

      Lopez was garroted on Monday morning , Sept . 1 , at seven o ' clock . The scene of execution was at the ' Punta , ' opposite the * Morro . ' There were assembled from eight to ten thousand troops , and as many citizens . A few minutes before seven o ' clock Lopez was brought forward , and ascended the platform with a firm and steady step . ; Facing the multitude , he made a short speech , and his last words were , I die for roy . beloved Cuba . ' . , He then took bis , seat—the . machine were adjusted ; at the first twist of tbe screw his head dropped forward —and he was dead . Thus ended the- career of General Lopez , so long the dread and terror of the Cuban authorities . ' In ho instance ( the prisoners say ) have the Creoles of the island manifested the least disposition to join them . The excitement in Havannah is fast subsiding since the annihilation of Lopez and his forces . ; i

      There are killed and wounded of the Spanish troops 2 , 000 during engagements with the sympathisers , —1 , 500 killed and 500 wounded . In every engagement with Lopez the troops are said to have suffered severe loss .
