—The New York Express says: Private letters from New Orleans from an authority likely to be well informed intimate that the rumors in some of the Southern papers relative to another expedition for the Invasion of Cuba, are by no means without foundation. The "Lone Star Association," the avowed mission of which is, in the cant phrase of the day, to "extend the area of freedom," are said to be industriously at work, and arranging their plans, so as to avoid the disasters encountered by previous Expeditions to Cuba, and with a view of making the success of the next invasion a matter beyond doubt. Affiliated societies are known to exist in other States, and it is believed that the amount of funds in their hands, raised by voluntary contribution is considerable. We have at present no further particulars but the letters before us referred to above, say: "Before many months pass away, you must not be at all surprised to hear that the Star Spangled banner waves victoriously over the walls of the Moro!"—Balt. Amer.
