which Mr. Brodhesd stands charged.
Mr. j. received information of this fact, an al
so that an officer had arrived IN town With the in

Mr. Brodhead's family ana connexions at the
east are highly respectable, and durng his residence
here, his conduct. far a. we have heard la,
been perfectly unexccpiouable. It may be ard

mcni, either in financial, commercial or political
point Of view.
Proceeding upon these premises, Let us proceed to
INQUIRE how far the conduct Of the French government
will bear the scrutiny of these tests regard TO Their
behavior towards the government Of Mexico. Is II
not an act dictated by common sense for govern
ment 10 protect its native born citizens from outrage
and murder whilst they peaceably trading with
foreign power7 Is il not an act Of common honesty
for one nation to insist that another nation shall not
vantonly rob its citizens who have been invited TO
trade there7 Would not a nation be wanting in
common honor who did not resent wicked outrages,
cruel murders, and wholesale robberies committed on
ts subjects without cause or the shadow Of uslhca-
ton, by another government with whom il was at
peace7 Most decidedly il would.
All this then, and no more, has the French nation
done by insttudng the prssen, blockade. And yet

sanction Of their government upon the wives, daugh
