Diario del Go6ierno
MExco, May 23-With great pleasure we have
read the statement given by the editors OF the Diaro
as TO the bases which his ExceIency The provisional
President has proposed the adventures OF ieAas'
through the medium Of Judge hobinson, l1r 'he re-
estabis hment of The peace OF that Department, ana
its restoration 10 the Mexican Union. Said bases
were nroposed with the knowledge of the Supreme
,oy.rnment but nothing is at present obligatory re-
speetng them. They are only offered for considera
ton, and no fear need be entertained by the Next
cans concerning the tenor of these bases, their evil
consequences, which, in their former cases, the
patriotism and uncommon foresight Of his Excellency
the President will know how to avoid. II is TO be
presumed that if these bases are brought into discus
sion Mexico will exact whatever is honorable TO
herself and suitable for the establishment of peace
and the recovery Of her usurped territory.-El Nos

in the Diario, says

Treaty provisions, or whatever they may be called,
concede TO Texas privileges which no Department at
present enjoys; and consequently involve principle
OF iniustce and germ OF the dissolution Of the Re-
public To this OBJ 5ous and papable reflection the
Diario makes no reply. We repeat then, again and
again. that negotiation which violates the prnci-
pies Of Justice and equity, cannot be honorable
The Diario simply says that the treaty in question
does not place a seal of ignomnity upon Mexico
Ii would have been more correct to say that it does
not impose any oneIous condition. But this is not
all that is necessary order TO make treaty hon
orable."
The last number Of the Estandarte which has
reached us, (May 29h,) is entirely blank except
about column, which is occupied with an account
of the repeated visits of the government officers to
The Office Of that paper in search of Vicente Garcia
Torres, the printer of the same. He however abb
sented himself, and at the latest dates had not been
taken. We suppose that similar measures were pur-
sued in regard to the Siglo In short, the govern
ment, unable TO resist argument by argument, has
resorted to force in order TO destroy the liberty of
the press.
