With reference to the reported difficulties between
Great Britain and Mexico the Herald says :
" Some time since we published accounts from Mexico,
stating that the difficulties between that Republic and the
Spanish GovernMent had been settled by the Spanish
Minister, who had made concessions to President Comon-
fort. The last news from Spain informs us that when this
news reached Madrid the O'Donnell Cabinet worked itself
into a high state of indignation. The Minister to Mexico
(Alvarez) has been recalled, and his whole action dis-
avowed by his Government, so that matters are pnt in the
same position which they previously occupied, only that
they look a little worse for Mexico. We learned by tele-
graph yesterday that the British Minister to the Mexican
Government had had trouble with the Comonfort Govern-
ment. He demanded his passports, and sent a courier to
Havannah to order the West Indian fleet to Vera Cruz in
order to enforce the compliance of the Government with his
demands, with the nature of which we are unacquainted.
The present Government of Mexico is not popular in Eu-
rope, and we soon expect to hear that France has followed
the lead of England and Spain, and that Mexico will be in-
voi vdd in an imbroglio which may result in the most serious
consequences.'
