A report has been current...
A report has been current for some days in the city, that a Spanish expedition, consisting of two frigates, with trans- ports sufficient to carry *2,000 troops, was getting up at the port of Ferrol, destined, in the first instance, for Havan. nah, and ultimately Mexico. IVe refrained from noticing the report, not believing a Littleof the intelligence commu- nicated ; and the letters received yesterday fiomn Corunna by the Spanish mail fully confirm us in that unbelief. The trle state of the case is, that the port of Ferrul, whichl lies opposite to Corunnia, about ten' miles distant, cannot at present boast of the possession of any vessel of that class; that the whole province of Galicia, we might say, the hvliole kingdom of Spain, cannot furnish the troops nsecessary for such an expelition ; and that if these slighit difficulties vere overcome, there is not to be found in the Treasury at Miadrid a single niaravedi towards their pay and equipment.
