BIOLKR IN .PHILADELP/I/A A monster meet- Ilk; of Philadelphia Demomicy was held it the Chios's. 31oseutu on Thursday evening, 214, which was addressed by Col Ittof.ca. In the published sketch of hie rem`arks,,we finil,the following pant. graph s which will show the favorable impression male upon the Democratic candidate by his visit to the Nonh. "Within the last ten days he had passed through Northern Pennsylvania. a district of country which be had never bifore had the . plea3uro of see Those who bad'never passed through that region had but a very inadequate idea of the vast resources of this glorious Commonwealth. He would take this occasion of saying that, great as bad been his erpeetations as to whet he should behold in that . . portion of the State, elevated as had been his esti mate of the vast resources of that portion of the State, of the intelligence, and energy and enterprise of the citizens there, his highest espectations had been more than realized. And when there should he completed for the use of that section of the Cori.. monwealth an important improveinent now in pro gress, the wealth of Northern Pennsyvlania would increase as rapidly as that.of any other section of the Commenereatth." Tn . ?: NEXT Coneaess.—The twenty-second Con gress will be largely Democratic. Of the 62 mem bers of the Senate, 59 have been elected, and of tfiese 35 are Democrats, and 24 Whigs. 'Two of the Democrats and three of the Whigs are what are called Free soil. The:e are three vacancies, viz : ...one in Connecticut, one in Tennessee, and one in: California. The Legislature of Tennessee just elected is said to be Whig in both branches, which of coarse secures the election of Whig flenator.— The California Senator will probably be Democratic. Connecticut doubtful. Of the 233 members of the House, 191 have been elected, of which 110 are Democrats and 81 Whigs, a Democratic gain of 51. Eight States have yet to elect their representatives, and taking the last Congress as a test of their politi cal character, the return will be 10 Whigs and 32 Democrats, maki:ig the total strength of the two parties in the House stand as follows: Whigs 91, Democrats 142. if by any chance the election of j President should devolve upon the House, the Democratic candidate will of course be elected.

The Captain General sent out about 801 Y Men to meet Lopez, when he heard that he had landed, but after they hail avanced to ascertain his position, they would move no timber without reinforce ,- monis ; lie then sent 700 more. The next day. the .13th, the report was that Gen 'Lepez bad cut off all cotrammications between the government forces and Havana, and the fact of the Captain General having received no despatches from the General in command, seemetrairong plan( or it. Nor had his steamer's cruiziug on the coast, any better success. Ott that evening, at 8 o'clock, the Governor des patched the steam (tiny boat 100, down to Bahia- Honda, to gain intelligence and return the same night. She however, did not get back until next morning, 'about seven or eight o'clock, without news, as it was reported in the official Gacela, but as some of the passengers by the Cherokee say, with news that they were afraid to publish.' . One report in Havana was, that General Lopez's forces hail swelled to eleven hundred men, and that he had fought a battle with the Spanish forces at Bahia-Honda, in which eight hundred of the latter were killed and wounded ! Another report rept ces the number to from lour to six hundred Ser. enty-eight wounded had been brought in. This, and the fact that not a single prisoner of the invad ing forces had been taken, except some taken in the boats, would go to show that Lopez was victo. A Havana letter sap. that the encounter between the expedition and the Spanish trooplook place on the morning of the 13th, at Las Posas, a small vit. lege about three milts from the coast, where the Americans had entrenched themselves during the night, and received large reinforcements of Creoles and oilers of the native population The letter adds: " In this engagement, the Spaniards were com manded by General Enna in person, who hail his horse shot from under him ; Colonel nodal and seven o ffi cers, and about seventy-eight men were killed. So unerring and deadly was the fire of the brae' liberators, that Genet al Enna was three times repulsed with loss. At this moment the Lieuten ant Governor of 31ariel, Colonel Gurrea, came up, with about two hundred men more, when the Cold. net received a shot, theongh his leg, and his men such a check, that Gen. Enna. (as he states in his official communication to the Captain General, 'la ted half-past three o'clock on the 14th,) saw the uselessness of attempting anything further against • the pirates without more artillery, as it Would only be exposing his men to certain death, without any result ; consequently he demanded further rein. forcements. Accordingly two steamers, the Haba nero and the Almendaras left that day with more troops. to the number of fourteen hundred, 'so that according to their own account, with those who have been concentrating from the other districts, they have got upwards &BP° men, including ca valry, and up . till this moment they have only made three captives, who, as they say in the official belle tin, they instantly pot to death. Two of theta per sons were sailors belonging to the steamer Pampe r°, who, after landing Lopez, had gone into a taw. ern and got drunk ; the other poor fellow was found in a hut, tingle to move, Gum a fracture be re. mired when landing. 4..-443 e the. 15th;' it was known that the liberators, who•have been joined in large numbersby the pets. pie oftthe country, made a move in the direction of Diegiada Nunez and Cubanas, with the intention of pneseesing.themselvee of the fort at the latter place, when unfintunately, some fury or fifty of them, who had, im the most daring manner, en deavored to get there by sea-in four launches, with the intention of taking the Spanianls in the tort by surprise, were themselves, atter a most desperate resistance, captured by the Spanish Admiral, who with his steamer, and an immense number of men, succeeded in taking them ) , after a fight of four hours It is computed that there . were no less than 329 soldiers and sailors engaged in the capture el these Americans." These poor fellows, as we learn from Purser Boyle, were brought to Havana, by they Habanero on Saturday morning, the 16th instant, at I A. ix.. placed on board a spanish frigate lying in port, and executed at 1 t $5 A. at. on the same morning They were shot on the public road in' Havana, and, at the least calculationon the presence of twenty thousand ipectators After they were shot, they were dragged by the feet by neeroes, and then left to the mob, who corn. menced stripping them of their clothes, and carry ing then, on sticks through the streets—yelling Irks ea many demons just escaped from the bottomless pit, sad trying to seek revenge on they knew not what, Many of the passengers ,of the Cherokee who. were on the spot of execution, were pointed at with a sneer of contempt; and ethers were stopped in the 'street and insulted, the Spaniards telling them they were Americans, and that one of these days they 'vrould.be served the , satite - ivay, At night it was dangerous lot an American to be in the streets alone. The steamship Falcon, white on her way up the coast ofCuba from- Chagres, was fired at three times, by the war steamer Habanero, and was obliged to heave to, al boarded by the officers of the Habanero. After the Falcon stopped, the offi cers cheered as if they had gained a glorious ;Pieta s kSk t ry. This is the third time the Falcon has been ser th e same trick.

The Courier has telegraphic ilevalch from Now o►leana and Mobile, giving further Havana news, and confirming the reports brought by the Cherokee at New York. The steamship Empire City from Havana, arriv ed at New Orleans on Friday last. She left Ha vana at noon on the 18th, and consequently brings two days later intelligence than the Chemkee. The advices received by the Empire City state that Col. Crittenden, of Kentucky, was one of the party of fify-two patriots executed near Havana. The accounts state that Lopez had been victori ous in all his engagements, and proceeded on, thrcugh his intentit as are not rated- The U. S. steamer Vixen had arrived at Pensa cola, with dates from Havana to the evening of the 16th. It is reported that Gen Lopez had made a stand at Marie, and had two engagements with . the Government troops, in both of which he was suc cessful. The Spanish loss is said to have been eighty officers and three hundred men killed and wounded, who were carried to Havana and buried with great pomp. Gen Lopez is daily receiving accessions to his force of from twelve to fourteen hundred men. On the night olihe 14th, over one hundred men left Havana to join the invaders. The Spanish steamer Pizarro was ashore on the . Keystone. One Spanish General, one Spatlish Admiral, and one Spanish-General of Marines are reported among the killed. Tut Austraurrasrma AND Coss —The telegraph report condenses the following from yesterday's WashinEp:pers The this morning recapitulates the Cuban news, ant says that there was no reason to doubt that the Spanish Government wanted to take sum mary vengeance on those caught invading her soil ; btu theeditor intimates that such a wholesale slaugh ter, without a trial of the prisocers, will require a strict investigation by our Government. The laidligeicer mates, by authority, that the steamer Saranac will be dispatched forthwith for Havana, With Commodore Parker, who has been instructed to inquire into all the circumstances atten ding the capture and execution of American citi zen, and to ascertain under what prool they have heen s pin to death. A full investigation will also be had into the circumstances of firing at the steamer Falcon, by the Spanish cruisers. At the same time renewed and rigid instructions will be issued to the civil, military and naval offi cers of the government, to take all legal steps and employ the means at their command tocheck and break np any armed and illegal expeditions, and arrest all persons concerned therein; It is the fixed determination of the government to man;ain the treaty obligations, andlo enforce the laws of the land, the recent violation of which has led to such lamentable results. The U. S. steamer Saranac will leave Norfolk thi• afternoon or toanorrow. The larelfigenur says that a despatch has been received from Mr. Ones, our Consul at Havana, at the State Department, which states that all the ,prisoners were tried previous to thearitaecation. The Department will require a satisfactory ex planation from the Government officers at New Orleans for their apparent neglect in allowing the. steamer .Pampero to depart with General Lopez.- ft is believed here that the whole of the force of Gen. Lopez were in the lour launches that were all run down by.ffie steamer, and that the Wty Omen who were executed were all that were saved from drowning.
