Erhedition. against Cuba.-It was lately


rumored at Vera Cruz, that the Columbian


Government was fitting out an cxpcditionyto


attack Cuba, and that the Mexican Govern


ment was to furnish certain quota OF the


force. As a confirmation of the correctness


of this repart, it is stated that the Scio, capt.


Graves, of Philadelphia, had been chartered


by the latter government, to transport troops


to Campeachy, which was to be the general
rendezvous, and that it was in treaty for
number of other American vessels for the
same purpose, they being preferred.


A number Of troops had assembled at We


"a Cruz and more were momently looked
| for, as they were marching from all parts OF
! the country. The quota of troops to be fur
nished BY Mexico is said to be 7,5oo. The
Columbian troops were assembling at Car
thagena the quota of that republic said to
be l2,50O. The forces were expected to
sail for general rendezvous about the mid
die of January, and the combined army to
arrive off Cuba about the first of April.
Those at Havana who were in favor OF
more liberal government, were anxiously
looking for the arrival of the expedition.
A very splendid dinner and ball was given
at Vera Cruz on the occasion OF the surren-
der of the castle of ST. Juan d'Ulloa.
