MEXICO.
The most unhappy condition of Mexico, where
| to-day new revolution is taking the place Of the
| reaction which occurred a month ago, where men
and principles the most opposite succeed each other
from day to day, not only in the presidential chair,
but in the administration of the government this
state Of social distress, which checks all advance
ment in that unhappy country, appeals powerfully to
the attention Of Europe, and especially to that Of
the politicians of England. The Times with refer
cnce TO the disturbances which are taking place
in the Mexican republic, publishes an article inter-
estlng in the extreme, TO which request the atten-
| ton Of our readers, and of her Maiestys govern
ment. Ii is in these words:
"Our last letters from Mexico give most depor-
able picture of the condition Of that country TIE
government was DESTROYS of sending small detach-
| ment of troops to California, but in consequence of
the wan. Of money the soldiers refused to leave the
port of Acapulco.
1.-THE governor of the province of Sonora has also
| pronounced against Mexico, and all the provinces
thus successfully detached from the confederacy are
destined speedily to become the prey of the United
| States. Finally it is probable that the next mail
will bring the intelligence Of a new revolution in
| the capital. Herrera will undoubtedly fall before
Paroles, who is at the head Of the only corps of the
| army which IS now obedient to a commander. In
different quarters Of the country the Indians and
Mestizos have awaited themselves of this state of
complete anarchy, TO commit the greatest outrages
The European capital embarked in various enter
prizes runs great risks in Mexico. 1t is evident
that the situation of the country is preparing it for
a horrible tyranny.
"Thus, after having combatted, in order to be in
dependent of Spain, Mexico will be compelled to
PROSTATE herself at the feet of the Congress of
Washington. Mexico cannot be permitted 10 remain
in this extraordinary condition. and but one satlsac.
tory mode Of escaping from it be perceived. She
must either submit to the yoke Of neighboring
republic, or unite herself with some European power
in order to be protected against the conquerpg am
bition of the United States, whose aim is to become
| master of the whole of the American continent
But in order to be united with Europe, it is necessa-
ry that Mexico should resume the monarchical form
| of government, and return to the arms of SPAIN
| from which, in an evil hour, she was separated
| The world is now witness of what Mexico has
gained by her independence Under present cir
cumstances 1t would be easy for handful of SOL
| diers, despatched from Cuba, to take possession
| anew of Mexico. Would it be impossible, consider
ing the facility of this conquest to give its inhabi-
tants institutions suitable to their necessities and
so devised as to dispel the dangers which hang over
| herr
ain proportion as we become more and more sem
sble of the incurHbte weakness Of Mexico and of
the projects Of the United States the necessity Of
solving this problem appears more urgent and the
| remedy which we are about to propose more practi-
cable. As it respects Spain, an enterprise Of this
| nature would not be unworthy Of the man who, by
his military triumphs and energetic and resolute
character, General Narvaez,) has shed so much
lustrc upon the Spanish monarchy. With respect
to Mexico, prince of the royal family of Spain,
| carrying with him force sufficient for the re.
establishment Of order in the country, and guaran-
teeing the liberty of the people, would be received
with enthusiasm by great portion Of its inhab-
itants. Among the relatives of Queen Isabel who
aspire to her hand il is not difficult to designate the
who from his personal qualities and his liberal
sentiments would be the best suited for such an en-
terprise-the infant Don Henry
"If the United States should see their plans
thwarted by a measure which they would have no
right to oppose, they would be unable to contend
with the united powers Of Europe, whose only OBJ.
ect would be to establish in Mexico a national gov
emment to repair the disastrous losses which the
provinces once Spanish have suffered from so many
abortive revolutions"
Thus far the English Journal We shall not now
say all that we might concerning the responsibility
resting upon those nations whose influence succeed
ed in converting Mcxico--once happy, tranquil,
and prosperous provpce--into a nation plunged in
frightful anarchy, and now in danger Of becoming
colony Of the United States.
Time, the great teacher Of nations as well as Of
individuals has unfortunately already demonstrated
to Europe the melancholy results, to great part Of
Spanish America, ofthe separation from the mother
country. But we shall ask the attention Of the
statesmen Of England and France, as well as Of
SPAIN to consideration Of the great interest which
