HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE.


Az. NsiiforA1who on earth was Il that originated
the sceeg aud bali'' story that perceive has
been raiar .he roands Of tho American press, thai
8 naval lad military expedition Of twenty Thousand
man WAS being fitted out here to operate against
the liberal party in Mexico have, during The
tast III fhree weeks beenincessant in my inqui
rsas Ill relation 10 this subject, in every quarter
knosn to fae where thought should be able to
oi,tasa correct Information, and although have
observed great and continued activity At the gov
ernmeut arsenal Ideck-yard,, yet now uniies-
itatisgy pronounce the report to be utterly devoid
of sTcn the shadow Of truth. Spain i is true has
made great progress during The last twenty years,
and her easy victory over Morocco nayhage ID
aud puifed her up somew what, YET those who are Ct
iii head Of her government possess too much COM
mon sense % run the risk, BY attacking the Juarez
partg IN Mexico Of forever losing this fair isle and
liz aopondsncies to Tic Spanish throne, It being all
that ii now left TO Spain Of the splendid empire
she I5rmerly possessed in this hemisphere.
M, BIZ assured Spain will never run the risk Of
breaking lance with the young and vigorous
Unted States anation Just arrived st manhood, and
which could crush an old and almost worn out mon
archy suoh as is Spain, as easily as kill mosquito
at this moment upon my loft hand. And any at
tack upon the Juarez party in Mexico by Spain
waula asreiy bring about an encounter between
fhat country and Tho United States Knowing this
fulwbiI, SPAIN though she may buster and bully,
via not dare strike blow. Let the future prove
IL bs NOT correct in this opinion.
