pnaITtn4 OF MEXICO.

rbc Nsp York Herald publishes the following
"Ul,mspm - Mczico," which, il SAYS, has been
furnished ~ ~ ,ntiY,dnal intimately associated
with Cen hmon'c IN this country, and we'll &C
quain,ed with his views:
"Mexico can enter into no new treaty Q! boun-
Diary with the United States. The treaties OF
boundary and amity antecedent 10 The revolt IN
Texas, are still in force; though, in effect repu-
dated by the United States. lflhe treaties area-
dy in existence are, and have been, no protection
10 Mexico, of what use will il be 10 her 10 enter
into any other lreaty2 The merchant will not
trust merchant without guaranty, after his
bond is once broken-nei;her can a nation. If the
United States, through friendly power or pow
eIs shall Offer regret and PREPARATION Tor the injury
done, and that regret and repatriation prove salts
factory and be accepted By Mexico-Mexico will,
in that case, enter upon the subject OF new
boundary, to be guaranteed 10 her by Spain,
France and England. A new treaty OF boundary,
without such guaranty, Mexico can, in no case,
(excoriated as she is by the citizen and govern
mental perfdy OF the United Sta,es) enter into or
pu, faith in.
"Mexico cannot view annexation as the simple
ACT of two Independent, nations. Annexation, in
the eye Of Mexico, commenced when Gen. Jaci-
sons friend, Sam. Houston, went 10 Texas 10
raise flag Of revolt therein after the former
kOuUu us CdluSst UuSio W pultHuSS ASauS NouiNi
not be acquiesced in by the government OF Mexico.
Annexation, in the view Of Mexico, progressed
when the U. S. government BY 'mJscrly inac.i-
yity,' permitted its citizens 10 make war upon a
neigh6or with whom, Tor itself and citizens, The
United States had entered into treaty OF 'pcrpc-
tual amity' Mexico has claims, therefore, on The
United States, for her public lands in Texas, and
for the expenses OF the war in Ter vain attempt,
thus far 10 establish the national authority los,
hy he Hfp M ell rlv in act-
vily' of the United States, in respect 10 CURLING
its own citizens.
"Mexico denies that Texas was eSranged
from her rule by Mexicans. The government
and citizens of the United States are solely respon-
sible for all The evil brought upon Mexico By The
Texas revolt
"Under these circumstances, to send messenger
into Mexico to make offers for still larger ter
ritory than even Texas, cannot but be viewed by
her other than an additional insult 10 her nation
aty especially as the presses Of The u States are
advocating the like emigration 10 that larger terri
tory California; wherewithto re-enaci the Texas
wrong Whether Mexico accede or not 10 the
offers OF purchase b. The United States then the
territory in question must BY United States ac-
counts, be lost TO Mexico The independence of
Mexico thus jeopardzed by stronger republic,
she has no alternative but 10 throw herself under
the protection OF powers stronger than the United
Stales-unless, as we have above shown the U.
States prefer ample reparalion, and new lrea-
ty Of boundary, guaranteed BY Spain, France and
England, settle all differences between the two
governments.
1.-THE FIRST aggressive movement Of the U. s.
feet in the Gull, or the U. S. army al Corpus
Christi, will be the signal tor Mexico 10 throw
herself on the protection of Spain, France and
England. The navies Of these powers, &C ncen-
,raied al Havana, will then sail to Vera Cruz,
and there intimate The fact 10 the commander of
the United States squadron. Ii The latter, in de-
fance Of this inlima,on, proceeds TO demonstra-
tion against Mexico, the combined fleets will pro-
coed to capture il, in much the same way as the
Turkish fleet was captured at Navarino.
