SPAIN AND Mexico. o.-There appears to be
but little doubt that the invasion Of Mexico
by Spain has the continuance, if not the
direct connivance of the Church party in
that country. 1t is certain that Spain relies
on the cooperation Of the Church party.
Prom the following extract taken from the
New York Herald, il appears that General
Miramon, the leader of that party, has been
intriguing with the Spanish Government,
and that he isrewarded with distinguished
command In the service. 1t says:
1t seems that Gen. Miramon, the defeated
leader Of the reactionary party In Mexico,
is taking active measures TO aid the invasion
and conquest He has been for some time
past sojourning in Madrid, and we have been
assured that his visit to that city had mere
ly private business for object, which is just
as likely as that, should the arch rebel JEFF
Davis take trip to London, at present, the
traitors going thhher would be solely oc-
casioned by the pressure Of personal inter-
eets. Our Washington correspondent, how.
ever, removes all doubt as 10 the real bus
ness Of Miramon in the Spanish capital, by
announcing that the Mexican Chief has been
appointed Lieut.. General in the service of
Spain, and that he is to be second in com
mand of the military force destined to in.
wade, within few weeks, bis ill-fated coun-
try. His acceptance of a commission in The
army of Isabella, his consenting to be lea
der Of the very expedition which Is about
to assall his native Republic, only too plain
ly demonstrates the object Of his visit to
Spain.
