The Spanish expedition against Mexico.

--It is reported that a Spanish expedition against Mexico was being organized at Havana. Five thousand infantry will disembark early in October at Vera Cruz, thence marching direct to the city of Mexico. Six screw-frigates, two steamers, and numerous transports are also to be employed.

A decision of Marshal O'Donnell is published in the Madrid Gazette to the Captain General of Porto Rico. It declares the principle that a slave who touched the soil of Spain must be considered as emancipated even without the consent of his former master.
