an Expodision fiting out in the Habana for this Cuntrey thare was
a rumor en Neworlans that en the Habana they was aPresing Vesels
to Carry men to Some Port, But in a few Days after all Was
Contradicted and aserted that it was fals and By what I Can larn if
the Spanish troops leaves Havana thare will with out [doubt] be a
Revilusion in that Piase and I expect that in Spain they are now
in the same as the french troop had orders to march from Spain and
at that moment it was Begun in Some Parts of Spain, But the
Reason that Col. Pedras Rote this ofisial Was that a Mexican Rote
