The Projected Invasion os ,Gex.
iCO..Great Preparati0ns 0f
Spain at Havana.
A gentleman of this city has received
some private letters from Havana, of re.
cent date, giving private and reliable in
formation of the preparations that are be-
ing made there for an invasion of Mexico.
These letters he has placed in our hands
for use, and we have translated such por
tions thereof as are of public Importance.
They are as follows
HAVANA, October 90, 1851.
Ny DEAR FR1END-As somebody has
said, when matters affect US nearly, We
have all right 10 speak. Therefore you
must not be surprised that l, business
man, and more learned as to sugar than as
to matters of state policy, should assume
my pen to discuss somewhat subjects of
the latter character.
Know, then, sir, that it is fact that
quite martial spirit has again been evok-
ed here, and that the equipment of an ex-
pedltlon is announced as to take place i'm
mediately, which is to give the finishing
blow to the power of Mexico, and to con-
vert that republic into Spanish COLONY
1t is said that Comfort presists in his poll
cy, and has intimated that if Lafragua
were not admitted to Madrid, so as to pave
the way for further negotiations, he would
not listen to reasons of any kind, although
backed by all the Frances and Englands in
the world. The consequence is that the
Mexicans have been continuing their prep
arations for war, and we know TO certain
ty that in Vera Cruz they have been rails
ing Notifications, DC.
But while the children of Montezuma
are thus preparing for war, we, who call
ourselves the descendants of Cortez, are
not idle In the Moro and in San Nazarre
cartridges are being made by thousands,
and in all haste, and the soldiers are hast
ening to learn the use of the Mimic carbine.
There is not the slightest doubt that these
people are cooperating with the Santa
Anna party, and that il, under the pretext
of favoring the pretent;ons of Santa Anna,
who is supported by the clergy and Spain
ards in Mexico, they can succeed in affect
ing proper landing on the soil, they will
then march into the interior up to the very
palace of Comfort Thus at least, say and
believe those brave sons of Pelayo, who al
ready imagine themselves to be living in
the good old times of Balboa, Pizaro and
Cortez.
The royal funds set apart for the -pur-
pose amount to over four millions Of dol
lars, and, if necessary, the Spanish bank is
relied upon, and also the twelve millions
offered to that bank for the term of six
months by the capitalists whom Conchs
consulted in the moments of the financial
panic.
Latterly the regiments designed to tako
part in the expedition have been decided
on, and it appears that they are only wait
ing for the arrival of the opportune mo-
ment of action. As Concha knows that
he is removed, and as he does not wish to
abandon his seraglio, he has come to the
conclusion that his best plan is to urge on
the strife with Mexico, because then ne will
be left in his post SO as to ensure the peace
of Cuba, which Concha alone-as they say
can do.
As to other matters, the landing Of Chi
nese continues, and they will soon COM
mence, it is said, to bring us apprentices.
If they 90 on as they have done up to the
present the day will arrive-and that short
lv-when it will be little short of impos-
sible to say which is tie dominant color
in the society of our island.
What thinks Mr. Buchanan? Is his Ex-
cellency so stupid rs not. 10 know how to
take advantage of circumstances! Ono
thing is certaia-that it is necessary to do
something, and that all feel the necessity
of action, although no one ventures 10 in
dicate the mode or the time. We shall
see.
Adieu, and tells us what occurs, so that
we may know how to act.
p. S.-The yellow fever Tor the vomitto)
continues to fulfill its proyidential mission
that is 10 say, killing Spaniards. Do
You recollect the DR.. Humbolt who pro-
fessed to cure the malady. The poor dew
il has died for heretically attempting to
stop the justice of God. His holy will b,
done.
From Another Correspondent.
l have learned positively that the expe-
dition to Mexico is certainty. They are
making million of cartridges in the Moro
and another million in the San Nazarre,
for the MIME carbines. 900 horses are in
readiness; and it is an undoubted fact that
they are working in accord with the Santa
Anna party to 60 to support it. Santa
Annals mother-in-law has received letters
to the effect that there have already been
risings in some part, of the Mexican repub-
lie in favor of Santa Anna. The ship Asia
the Berenzuela, and other vessels of war.

that some Spanish merchant vessels have

do not know why the Diario de Ia
Marina did not publish to-day the news
