agreed delay and declared that il Seh,r Cuevas did
not fad in the details of the affair sufficient induce
ments for granting satisfaction, he would certainly
execute his threat of Withdrawing from Mexico.
The appointed time expired on the 9Th of June,
! and no reparation had been made. M. de Cyprey
then made a formal demand of his passports.
Nothing further remained for him to say: it for
i Sr. Cuevas now TO decide
| The event was according TO the habitual conduct
of the statesmen of Mexico, who seem TO take pleas
ure in subjectng themselves to gratuitous humilia-
ton, by never according to anything but violence,
that which they might and ought to accord to the
sense of Justice. When Sr. Cuevas found that he
could no longer get on with trick, tergiversation and
bad faith, he then became as obsequious as he had
| previously been arrogant. He had recourse this
| time TO the mediation of the British minister, in
whose presence he had verbal explanation with
M. de Cyprey.
| The conference was protracted one. The Min
lister of Foreign Affairs had to hear many harsh
truths which he did not dare to contradict seeking
only to evade them by wandering from the question,
to which his adversary persisted in recalling him
without mercy. The principal objection of Sr. Gu
evas was, that the constitutional government had no
power to displace public functionary. M. de Cy-
prey replied with demand for the written and Off
cial proof of this constitutional impotence, and add
ing, that if il was real, all relations became mpos-
ment which could not protect their representatives
from the grossest outrages; that such government
put itself out of the pale of the law Of natons and
that OF course, this allegation was for the minister of
! France, but new motive for demanding his pass
ports. He concluded with renewing this demand in
| irrevocable terms.
Sr. Cuevas, having nothing TO oppose TO these ir
refragable arguments, confined himself thenceforth
to making new appeals to the generosity of M. de
Cyprey, beseeching him to make allowances for the
nf ILL
minister replied with good feeling, but declaring, at
the same time, that impossible for him to pass
over an insult which reflected on his government,
especially since the eclat which ST. Cuevas had given
to il by the maladroitness of his mprudent resist
ance. In fine, defeated on all points, the Mexican
minister consented to write to the representative Of
France letter, in which he was to give the latter
assurance that he should receive complete repara-
: ton, and in which, also, he was to beg M. de Cy-
prey not to persist in demanding his passports.
M. de Cyprey was willing to accept this modif-
cation; because, while it put off the fact of repara-
ton, still it established the right and then, because
in this way, he might leave to the cabinet of the Tu
leries the duty of determining what wonld amount
to the complete PREPARATION stipulated for. The letter,
the terms of which had been arranged in advance,
was written, and the receipt of it acknowledged by
M. de Cyprey.
! 1t remains now to see what will be the denodenent
of this little diplomatic drama between the govern
ments of France and Mexico. As to our ambassa-
dor, we cannot but applaud the dignity, moderation
and energy of which he has given evidence.
| All the diplomatic revelations which we have
thus made, we owe to private correspondent
who has written TO us, under date of the 10Th of
June, from Mexico-who was a witness Of all the
facts which he recounts, and the authenticity of
which we do not hesitate to vouch for on the faith
of his responsibility
