intended to enforce. But when wilififiedeli

consent of almost every administratk‘ that has
held successive sway in Mexico for the last ten
Years, these claims have been publicly eatablihed
and made the subject of international stipulations",
it is ton late to debate whether or not they are
to be enforced by national power and as a matter
of national right. Magnanimity well becomes a'
great and mighty empire in dealing with an min
poverishA and distracted sta.e ; but it will
hardly be asserted by our most envious
critics that in the present case we have been
wanting therein. On the other hand, the most
forbearing and lenient will confess tha*:, there
must be !baits to the endurance of indignity,
and that we cannot afford to allow the seal and
flag of England to be not merely trifled with
but trampled in the dust. If any other
or better way could be pointed out for
levying the long arrear of debts and compensations'
which the Mexican Government has pledged itself,
and deliberately mortgaged certain portions of its
revenue to pay, we should be probably content
with it. We cannot, however, see what less we
c.ui do than to insist upon becoming mortgagee
in possession until the admitted oblige.
dons shall have been paid. It is not the in-
terest of England that Mexico should be still
further weakened or embarrassed. While yet in
its infancy u a state England led the way in
acknowledging its independence. Volunteers from
this country fought in the ranks of emancipation ;
and to aid the completion of its escape from
Spanish bondage, 12,000,000/. of English money
was subscribed as a loan on no usurious terms.
During the six-and-thirty years that have since
elapsed Great Britain has acted the part of a dis-
interested and constant ally—with how little en-
couragement and how little gratitude wo need not
say. One thing, however, the rulers of this country
will not do—they will not be beguiled or betrayed
into the foolish and unfriendly office of seeki-,g to
set up what in their opinior, and what in point of
fact might be in a certain sense a stronger and a
better Governn•eut than that which the people of
the country seem to know how to establish.
Nothing could come of such an attempt but
eventual failure. It is the business of a nation,
a+ it is of a man, to work out its own salvation,
even though it be with fear and trembling.

14TEST INTKLIAGENCE, ..•

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.

The meeting of the Italian parliament is fixed
for the lllth of next month. The session is ex-
pected to be a long and laborious one, as the &deli-
nistrative, and, above all, the financial organisation
of Italy, will have to be definitively settled.

PARIS, WEDICEMDAY EVILVI!4Ii.

The impreesion in political circles to-day is that
the Compiegne visit has not been productive et
any important remit. The recognition of Italy by
Prussia is not, I fear, advanced a peg, and the
Italian envoy will be present at the King's coro-
nation only as the representative of Victor Em-
manuel.

The Compiegne special correspondents, after in-
numerable disappointments during the court festi-
vities, were, it appears, able to nee something of the
farewell scene between the sovereigns. Moro than
ono of them recounts, in the character of an ear-
witness, that as the Emperor and the King shook
hands at the door of the railway carriage, Napoleon
111. said, " I am sorry you could not stay with
me longer ;" and that King William's last
words, as his foot was on the step, were,
"Kiss your son for me." Another detail
which the correspondents note is that whereas
when the Emperor met the King at the station on
his arrival they spoke German, but that at the
departure French was the language used. The
Emperor speaks both tongues equally well, but the
King of Prussia has a slight German accent in
spearing French, more especially when he says
merely a word or two and has no.; time to listen to
the sound of his own voice. There is very material
discrepancy in the accounts of the respective bags
at the battue. A correspondent of the Petrie
says the Emperor killed 103 head of game and the
King 101 ; but another account, adopted by
Gang/wed, gives the figures as 105 for the Emperor
and 107 for the King. I strongly incline
to the latter statement, for it is difficult to believe
that the Emperor would have allowed himself to
kill more game than his royal guest. If these de-
tails should appearto you trivial, 1 can were you
that they are carefully selected as the most impor-
tant among a mass of others infinitely less interest-
ing. I can find nothing more to report touching
the visit of the King of Prussia.
We are now expecting immediately the visit of
another sovereign—the King of Holland. I know
not why, the Muniteler announces his arrival on the
12:6, in phraseology implying some degree of
doubt. It is considered important that the King
of Holland will see the King of the Belgians on
his way to France. Some say the interview aPI
take plaoe at a railway station in Belgium.
The Echo du Parlernent of Brussels says on this
subject :
We have hard • piece of news which will be received
with satidaction throughout the whole couotiy. It restated
positively that the King of Holland will come and pay •
visit to the King of the Belgians. The i-iteti:ew of the
two sovereigns will take place in a provincial toe a, wl“ch
is not yet defiaitely decided on, bat which, it is thought,
will be Liege. This fact, should it be realised, will put the
last seal on the frieodly relations of the two governments
and of the two nations, and will be equally approved of on
both sides of the Mosietlyk.

The Bourse was better, iu consequence of a
rumour that the Bank of England would oome
forward to the extent of 50 millions to assist the
Bank of Franco. Route rose 10c. for cash and
15c. for account, closing at 68fr. 15c. and 68fr. 35e.

Pe.63,4p4L OF 741kE LATE LW:IP-LIEUTENANT
OP MONMOUTHSHIRE.

On. Tuesday (says a local print) Pontypool was
veiled in gloom. The saddest day of its history, the most
mourefel era it had ever keown, was the day on which
Capel Banbury Leigh damended to the tomb of his fathers.
All the shops in the town were closed, business was en-
tirely suspended : the whole district was sad and silent.
It was like the solemnity of a sablath. At twelve o'clock
the mortal remains of the friend of the poor, the father of
the place, were to be borne to their but earthly home.
Among the thousands who assembled, there could
only be observed sad faces and tear-filled eyes.
The tenants, servants, sod tradespeople of the neighbour-
hood met at the Pontymoile lon, at 11 o'clock, after
which they marched to the park. The Hanbury, Pootymoile,
sod other rale corps were present, commanded by Major
Rooney. The body, us usual, was placed in a shell, next to
which was a lead, atd then came the oak oulllo. There were
eight plates on thecottio—three each aide, end one each cud.
The crest and armorial beatings of the family were inscribed
on the plates, awl on the breastplate was a plain inscrip-
tion of the name of the deceased, and the date of his death.
The mournful procession was beaded by 144 tenants and
workmen of the deceased, four abreast, and these were fol-
lowed by nine mourning roaches, each drawn be four horses,
containing friend.; of the deceased. The volunteers lined
the road from the park to Trevethin church, and the band
played the Dead March while the procession was passing.
The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lhindlaff, and the Rev.
Thomas Davies, incumbent of Trevetbie, performed the
bet:al service,after which the mortal remains of the deceased
gentleman were deposited iu their last resting place.
After the mournful torentony was over the immense multi-
tudes that had gathered together gradually dispersed, and
Trevethia church once more presented its usual appearance.
