Staunton Spectator, And General Advertiser

CUBA.

The New York Express of Saturday contains a copy of the declaration of one of the conspirators concerned in the late insurrectionary movement in the island of Cuba. All the free negroes and mulattoes, it appears, were privy to the revolt; and if the discovery had been delayed a few days longer, nothing, it is stated, could have prevented a most horrid massacre. The whole plan of operations is revealed in the declaration of the conspirator, who was interpreter among the negroes and mulattoes, and was induced to become an accomplice in the plot by the promise of $10,000 and the rank of Brigadier. The Provisional King was to have been Mr. Turnbull, the English Consul now residing in Jamaica, who, it is stated, has $70,000 to cover the expense of arms, ammunition, and expenses of agents in the cause.—The whole Island was to rise at the same hour, midnight. The blacks in the vicinity of Cardenas were to set fire to the buildings, murder the whites, take their arms, and proceed at once to the shore near Cardenas, where they would find six thousand stand of arms, and ammunition, landed from an English brig, which was to have come from New Providence, and fall upon Matanzas with about 30,000 men, where they would join their principal chief.
