itwillbe perceived by extracts from Mexican

our Minister to that country is accused with
having had an agency in the late revolution

ing had an agency in producing that event, or

set has long been odious to the party in Mex
leo who desire consolidated system OF GO,
serument aud European predominance, if not
subsection to the old Spanish rule; and this hos

Of MS being The representative of our federal
Republic, and from the necessary, unavoidable
sympathy and communion between him and the
heads Of the Mexican federal and republican
party. Other European interests than the
Spanish are also in, olved, and tend TO render
The American Minister, as such, an object Of
