WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN
MAILS.

(By Eleettle Telegraph.)

SOUTHAMPTON, MoNDAy, 10.30 A.M.
The Dec has just arrived with the West India and
Mexican mails. Her dates are: Vera Cruz, Nov. Bth;
Chagres, 10th; Jamaica, lath; Demerara, 11th;
St. Thomas, 19th. Amongst her cargo is specie to
the value of 1,63.%780 dollars from Vera
Cruz and Chagres, 112,482 of which are on ac-
count of Mexican dividends. Tho Dee brings
thirty-six passengers, amongst them is Lieutenant
Cumberlege, the consul of Tampico.
From Mexico, we learn that the country is for the
most part in a state of insurrection, particularly the
state of Tamalipas.
In Jamaica the cholera continues fatal in several
parts of the island. A gale had been experienced
near Black River, doing considerable damage to the
shipping.
From Demerara, we learn that the last fort-
night has been a holiday in the political world ;
the courts of all kinds have been in non-session
since the departure of the previous packet. The
governor has returned to the seat of government.
The weather was favourable, and the planters were
getting in their crops as fast as they could. The
shipping in the Demerara river was loading rapidly.
The market was well supplied with provisions.

Efft,—Day after day have I with regret and asto-
nishment read the approval, in some of our "liberal" pa-
pers, of Louis Napoleon's policy, and their unflinching
support to measures whose only aim was to forward his
personal interests. Here was a man chosen as a President
of a Republic, which he solemnly swore to uphold and con-
solidate, who might, by having thrown himself on the sup-
port of the republican party, have made France at this
moment great and peaceful. But, no The republic
which he swore to defend was and is the special object of
his hate and envy; for here alone be found an opponent
capable of dividing with himself the approval of the nation.
To its destruction, then, ho bent all his energies, and, for
this purpose, flattered all parties in turn, and deceived all
in turn. Badly, indeed, does It speak of the standard of
intelligence in any country, when such petty cunning, such
false hypocrisy, as that which marks Louis Napoleon's ca-
reer, should have been admired and extolled. Why need
' I enter into detail of tho expedition to Rome, the persecn-
tion of the liberal press, displacement of all authorities fa-
vourable to the republic, and replacement by his own crea-
tures the dissolution of national guards, whose only
crime was adherence to their republican constitution—his
'Rismes with all parties except the republican—his con-
stant custom of calling all republicans "Red Republicans"
—his pretended discoveries of their plots and wickedness—
Is it not enough that he found a republic—young, cer-
tainly, and consequently not over-strong—end makes it
weak, distressed, tottering, and the laughing-stock of the
world ? But neither for this do I address you ; but to raise
a warning—a prophetic voice. Louis Napoleon has, it
would appear, the army on his side. He may succeed on a
grander scale of self-elevation than he yet openly suggests.
Then—nay, even now—must we look enxiously about us.
We have the military governments of Russia, Austria and
Prussia, and the head of smaller states in league against us.
Should they declare war with England, Louis Napoleon
has a rare, a successful game in his hands by joining the
alliance. The whole army, the great mass of the people, would
forget all—forgive all—could but a great, a successful war be
raised against our envied and too-often-hated land.lt is a card
which be will play—it is his only course to conciliate the
despots with whom he seeks to ally himself, and cajole a
nation who worship above all other the God of War. Let
us be prepared : the clouds are gathering. We may hear
the rumbling of the distant thunder ; and the storm may
soon break. Yours, &c. CAUTION.
