Five hundred Africans landed at Cuba.

--The steamer Karnak, from Nassau, reports that the ship America, Capt. Brown, was wrecked on Key Lobos, on the 8th inst., with five hundred slaves. The schooner Lilly landed the slaves on the Key. Capt. Brown forcibly possessed himself of the Lilly, compelling her captain to carry himself and three of the crew to Nuevtas, where a Spanish brig was procured and took all the slaves to Cuba. A light-house schooner with troops was sent to the wreck after the slaves had been removed.
