Rost, writing on the Goth Of August, says:
Some continental journals stated long
since that the difficulty between Spain and
Mexico was about to be arranged. Such
assersions originated simply on the declared
wish Of both parties that France and En-
gland should mediate. But in point Of
fact no real advance has been made Of q
pacific character. NJ Lafragua, the Mex
lean Envoy, never got his instructions at
Madrid, and has now left that city. Mean
while, the authorities Of Mexico are Or
dered to call the people to arms. 1t is
more than probable that Spanish expe-
dition will sail in few days. The Spanish
Government by this time must have learn
ed that the Mexicans only pretended to-
negotiate in order to gain time.
