mas occasoned he pnsragc of law by the state BE-
gislsture, to the1oilowng effect

| Colombia and .afe1ieo.--Undcr this he'd the New
York Jonrnal of Commerce Of Friday last has an ur-
tieie III which 1t states that there is there,
and II gives 1t as rnnor only that plan has been
formed by England France and Spain, for the oei-
cntion OF Mexico and Colombia, by establishing re-
gal form OF government in the two countries, and
goarantying IFS permaneuce. Vhe expedi.on OF His
fighnerS Prince William OF Wirtemburp who ar.
rived some time since at New Orleans with the a.
legged En- cnt,on Of crossing the Rocky Mountains to
the Pacific Ocean, for ientc purposes is suspect.
sri 10 nave conneXion with this plan. 1t has been
announced in some of the European papers, tina, sn
vera Thousand stands Of have been procured IL
Iioinnd tor the invasion of Mexico, and that Dor
Miguel has agreed to furnish 900 1900 troops al
part of the expedition in consideration or his binf
acknowledged by Spain the righttul King of port1
gal. 1t has been pretended also, that there was
secret understanding between Bolivar and SOME o
the European courts, which wSuld end In his corona
ton as King OF Colombia.
We confess, says the Journal Of Commerce, thai
many parts of this story 20 extremely impro
bable. That Spain contemplates ncw expedition
for the re conquest of Mexico impossible no,
very improbable; and that Don Miguel should offer to
assist in the undertaking, is considering his charac
ter, not among the seven wonders. 1t may be trua
or it may not. But that France, and especially Ens
lands will dirty their fingers the business is raore
| than We are prepared 10 believe.
