SrANIsn EXPEDITION TO MExIco-Lct-
tcrs were received Mt New Orleans by the last
mail from Vera Cruz, to the effect that the
Constitutional Government had received Ger
tain information that large and imposing cx-
petition to those waters is being fitted out by
the Spanish Government. 1t is not believed
however the expedition is of hostile charac.
ter, any further than this, that it is designed
to lend moral support TO the Miramon or
Church faction of Mexico In connection
with this subject, it is stated that the greatest
preparations arc being made in the interior
for the third threatened expedition 10 tic sea-
coast, in view of which the Notifications of
Vera Cruz arc being thoroughly repaired. -
We may, therefore, expect lively times on the
Gulf conSt the coming winter.

is in the eighty-third year of his age. He
has been in the service of his country for
period of thirty-three years, and participated
in forty actions. The capture of the Cyane
and Leyant, while commanding the Constitu-

maritime feature of our history, as it is the
grandest public act of his long and well-spcnt
life

old man, nature has fulfilled her work she
loads him with fruits of well spent life
and surrounded by his children, she rocks
him away softly to the grave, to which he is
followed by blessings. God forbid that we
should not call it beautiful. There is anoth.
er life, hard, rough, and thorny, trodden with
bleeding feet and aching brow, a battle which
no peace follows this side of the grave which
the grave gapes to finish before the vict
won and STRANGE that sf obould tk;n q. II
