We find the following in the St. Joseph's (Fl.) Times of the 15th inst. Intelligence so astounding we naturally receive with the greatest doubt. But should it prove true, then will Cuba be a bone of contention, about which our Stripes and Stars will float over scenes of blood and carnage until the question is decided, whether Great Britain is to continue her commercial monopoly, or this Great Republic progress in her noble career:
"From a Lieutenant in our Navy, who came passenger in the brig Moses, from N. Y., by way of Key West, we learn that the night previous to the departure of the brig from the latter port, a vessel arrived there from Havana, bringing intelligence that Cuba had been placed in the military occupation of the British, as a pledge for the payment of the debt due by Spain to the English Government. That the Jamaica Regiment had arrived on the Island, and that the Bahama Regiment had also arrived there. Our informant did not know what credit to attach to the report."
