THE SPANISH EXPEDITION AGAINST MEXICO
The n, .. Pcayune says letters of the highest
authority have been received in that city
which leave no room 10 doubt that an expedi-
ton is preparing at Havana against Mexico. 1t
adds:
They assert positively, indeed, that an expe-
dition of not less than 10000 men is actually
being fitted ont i'll that city for Vera Cruz
And OF this no secret Is made. Even the troop
comprising the expedition, their regiment is and
companies, are mentioned. They are for the
most part he accimated troop of the island.
Their places Will be filled by recruits at home
and reinforcements from the Peninsula, the
vanguard OF which were daily expected. The
ostensible grounds of quarrel between Spain
and Mexico have already been stated. The real
object of the present expedition, however, il
ever il should proceed TO the Mexican coast, is
armed Intervention, looking 10 a permanent
protection over the country, if not its ulti-
mate acquisition. However QuiXotic this may
seem TO us, ii is no doubt actually in contem-
platIOn. A thousand recent events foreshadow W
1T, and especially the recent recognition OF the
MlramOn Government in MeXicO-a Govern
ment with which no other nation holds dip1o-
matte relation. In that ceremony the power
ful in terposition of the Spanish Government
was openly invoked "to give peace to the
country, and the Minis ter promised 1t, in dl-
plOmatic terms II Is true, but stll in terms not
