Richmond Enquirer

August 9.

Letters from Madrid of the 11th of July, mention, that General Castanos has resigned the Command of the army of Catalonia, and had been succeeded by General Lacy. In the above province and in Andalusia, considerable levies are forming to equip a new expedition against Spanish America, as the government now despairs of any good consequences resulting from that of Morillo. They find it impossible to pacify, and that it is only by main force that the royalists retain those points they have been able to conquer. Propositions have been made to several Guerrilla chiefs who distinguished themselves in the late war against the French; some have accepted active service; but in the midst of all these hostile preparations and threats of revenge against the Spanish American Insurgents, money is wanting, the treasury of the Peninsula is empty, no credit or trade exists, so that it is a problem among the most clear-sighted, whether Spain is able to fit out another expedition of 5,000 men against her ultramarine provinces, now fast approaching the attainment of the great object, for which they have been fighting during a period of 7 years.
