sent thither from this country under
stipulation solemnly agreed upon.
Our correspondent at Havana, before
the establishment of the revolution was
known in Cuba, threw out hints Of the
most significant import on this subject.
He predicted the success of Paredes be-
cause he was the tool (cats-paw) of the
two factions-"one led by the Almonte
and Santa Anna faction, the other got up
and wire-pulled by the British and Span
ish ministers, who call themselves the
MoNARcHIcAL PARTY" The French min
lister was for the time being absent from
Mexico, having left that country on ac-
count Of personal row in which he In
volved himself with such sacrifice Of dig
nifty and character to give rise TO a suspl-
cion that his expulsion was courted for
some ulterior and sinister object. 1t has
been so long since the Spanish Govern
ment was mixed up in any great move
ment on this side of the ocean, that her
diplomatisls mutter their affairs, and hence
the matter transpired in Havana before
the result Of Parades' expedition was
known.
In this connection the following para
graph. which first made its appearance in
''El Imparcial," periodical Of the Isle
of the l4th Dec may shed some light.
We find the article reproduced in the
"Memoral Historico" of the 4th inst
The latter journal is the "Siglo" revived,
and IS published in Mexico, under the
ewes Of the new authorities. We quote
as follows:
"By way Of Havana, it's known that
Spain, France and England have entered
into an alliance to place in Mexico and
Guatemala stable and liberal Govern
ment, for which purpose each power will
furnish quota of men;at the same time it
is assured that England has already at sea
thirty ships Of the line, which are on
their way to the Gulf of Mexico"
The Yucatan editor states that a
knowledge Of what has before transpired
renders this intelligence worthy Of ere
dence. The ''Imparcial' deplores the
condition Of the Spanish Republics, but
without acknowledging outright the crisis
to be so humlliating as to render the in
terventton necessary. 1t thinks the three
powers mean TO give effect to the pro-
jected movement. /. indJlges forebodings
ofulierior purposes on the part of the IN
terventors, and winds up with flourish
of patriotism and vglor.
The publication of articles like these
in one department Of Mexico, and their
reproduction in others, without comment
prove that the consprators think it time
to fimiliarize the public mind with the
idea of European succor, followed by a
European dynasty. We have before
stated that the schemes bruited have been
unfolded in convenient places by adopts
of the monarchial party. A system OF
proseiytizing has been privately but per
severeingly pursued, as we have reason
to believe, in majority of the States, and
every new revolution has been improved
by the very persons who assisted III get
ting it up, to encourage the belief that
nothing short Of Monarchy, with Euro
pean alliances, could secure the integrity
In this posture Of American affairs,
does 1t beft the United States to remain
passive! S hould the weakness Of Mexi-
co serve any longer as an excuse for in
science, especially as there is good rea-
son to believe her conmmely is prompt
ed by stronger powers! 1t would seem
that nothing was wanting to convince
every mind that peace will never be re-
stored as long as the United States E.
vinces tolerance Of the present state of
quasi-war. Il is capital for demagogues,
revolulionists, and forign intriguers. Ha-
tired OF Americans is becoming constitu-
tional feeling in Mexico, whilst French
men are better received, Notwithstanding
France and Mexico have been at actual
blows within few years. A proper re-
f dress Of injuries and insult inspires re-
spect; and respect is the precursor Of IN
dividual and national friendships. The
sufference ofthe United States under re-
peated indignities, has inspired the Mexi-
cans with contempt as well as hatred Of
US, and Europeans receive her admiration
whilst we get her gasconade. This is no
longer harmless. 1t is doing positive and
continual hurt Il is exciting, day by
day, a greater and more inveterate dislike
of the United States amongst near peo-
pie, snd in territories becoming theatre
on which the problem whether European
or American rule shall sway the destinies
of the Western continent viii be decided.
