The Arkansas advocate., 1836-12-02


 The Globe professes to have no information rela-
 tive to the causes which have induced Mir. Gofestiza 10 quit Washington; nor can we for moment believe that he made call the Government te dismiss Gen. Gaines who has been acting under instructions, and is of course only amenabe to the proper authority for hls conduct. The Globe, however, republishes the follow ing letter as key to the present movement.

 The Mexican ports are now open to the Spanish flag, and the Governor of Mexico has despatched com mssoners to Cuba, for the purpose of erecting naval armament te cruise against the Texians. Is t Pfoba be that men embarked n this warfare, would, or viii return to port without pfize money! The Texans have no commerce 10 gratfy their enemies with, and all their armed vessels would not equal one decent Therefore il behooves the commerce of these seas to be well protected against piraseal movements Several private letters from the interior of Mexico were shown to at Tampico from which the sentiment ap pears 10 be universal among the MeSicans, that war will be declared against the United States in the event of their recognition Of Texan Independence"
 war against the United States would not, we think, be declared by Mexico, because 1t would be followed by an immediate recognition of the independence of Texas, and the march of very powerful army 10 lake possession ot all the Atlantic seaport towns n Mexico, preparatory to an attack on the capital itself. But should that rash step be taken, cannot believe, that spain, n her present coadition would desire to become party to the war that the prudent and well inform ed Governor of Cuba would permit pfyateefs te be fit ted nom that island to cruize osensibly against Iex commerce. but ill realiiy against the commerce of the United States. Spain has yet some commerce 10 be disturbed and some ports 10 be bockadsd which would be etfectuay done should any movement ofhat kind take place. It may be well to make known the fact that the Southern and Western States will per- mt Mexico 10 indulge in any menaces of war against the United States, founded the course pursued by the Iexans. The Government has not by any off. cal act nteriefed h the matter, will they be told With impunity that acknowledging the independence of Texas will submit to war with Mexico We &C., ktlowledge6 the independence of al the South Aner- can provinces without any interruption in Spanish relations
 We are not quite certain that we may not have an affair or two in hand with Mexico arising from other causes. There is a scheme ahoat to place Mexico once more under the dominion of the Bourbons, by es- ablIshing Don Carlos the throne of iexieo should 1t become necessary for France and England 10 stis- tam the cause o the Queen Of Spain, and drive hita from that country. The compromise would be made 10 appease Austfia Russia and other powers espous ng the part ot Den Carlos in the present conflict; and II England and France shall deem 1t prudent to re- nam neutral and the Queen in consequence be com Feed to abdlcate Il IS the intention of Don Carlos to make an attempt recover part of the Spanish possess sons in America, by sending his eldest son to Mexico as sovereign, supported by strong force from the Northern Powers The present distraction in Mexico and the difficulties of keeping the people united, may account for the present attempt to sound Spain as to the disposition to join in crusade against American com merce' under the plea that is Texian commerce to be assalad War IS by no means desirable, and always to be avoided, but 1t folly to suppose that this coun- try will submit to any attempt the part of Mexico to dictate terms to us in the pending conflict between her and a revolted province.
