WASHINGTON, 10th April, 1876.

from the Mexican Correspondent of the Herald
Intelligence arrived yesterday containing mani
festo Of General Paroles, announcing his having
been compelled to reject the Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenpotentlary of the United States!
and your readers will at once perceive in the mani
festo OF that distinguished parsonage, the ultima
tum of Mexico" as declared in the Herald of the
9TH February last If that government, therefore,
has taken upon itself the responsibility of dis
nrbing the peace Of the world" has not done SO
without having been duly warned OF the conse-
quences by Mexico, in the columns OF your widely
sought after journal
The rejection of Mr.. Slidell will occasion mes
sage from the President to Congress. 1t may be
proper therefore, to draw attention to particular
fences of the manifesto of Paredes that your read
ers may promptly discover that the results already
prognosticated in your journal will surely happen, if
the ns Of Win
hcited." This will be evident by the examination
OF the language OF the document issued in ustifica
ton of their course by the government of Mexico
his mission was not circumscribed to the discus
SION Of the Texas question:" In other words, be-
cause the character in which he appeared was, In
effect declaration that it was offence to "per-
form the gross scandal OF selzing upon Texas in the
face OF treates," although the envoy of Mexico had
previously emphahcaly asserted, that the annexa-
ton OF it would be deemed equivalent to a declara-
ton of war" Sending Mr.. Slidell to Mexico in
the character in which he was not begged of Mexi-
CO to be received, was then telling Mexico, I'VE
have done you no wrong-we had inherent right in
us to annex your territory in the face Of treaes-we
have right by the same antecedents, known to all
the civilized world, to annex more Of it-and not
only your territory merely, but the territory OF any
and every other nation" In this stand made by
Paroles, will be only the reasonableness OF the
rejection, ''n order not to furnish an example that
might sanction, by pernlcious and illadvised act
a usurpaton not founded in reason or any plausible
motive, but which nicely relies in United States
hopes Of intmdating Mexico by force"
Your readers have more than once been informed
THAT the attitude OF the army at Corpus Christi, was
regarded in Mexico one of intimidation" yet
knowing by surmlse the quarter whence the repeat
ed statements OF 1t In the Herald was derived, this
government commanded General Taylor to advance,
and in the old language Of one Of the Senators re-
presenting Texas, "a citizen of the United States
who abured his country, and took an oath OF featy
and abjured independence for his country" plant
the American standard in defiance on the Rio
| Grande."
Will the Honorable James X. Polk be able to dis
Germ ground for a war message In the rejection OF
Mr. Slidun under such circumstances! or will he
f.saky admit the dignity of his nations the march
Of an American army on the Rio Grande, the head
quarters Of Mexican troops and the threatening ap-
pearance Of United States fleets in both hems.
pheres sufficient reasons for Paroles causing to be
expedited, without any hesitation, the demanded
passports OF the American Minister, whose ml66lOl
was!not crcumscribed to the discussion f.the Tex
| az question Z"
The United States took awar attitude, and in a
war attitude, desired the reception OF envoy, as
il the attitude of war was necessarily to be con-
sidei ed by Mexico the attitude OF peace. That the
hight the matter is viewed in by Paroles, and he
has ROBBED himself in imperishable renown for re-
polling SO ungracious an assumption. The Language
ID the language Of the republic OF Mexico; Mexico
despoiled of the rich and extensive territory Of
Texas, which always belonged TO il by the direc
acts Of the supreme authority OF this "a neighboring
republic) after discovering her designs to seize
some other adjoining or frontier possession"
! But, although Paroles admits the republic oi
Mexico is despoiled of the rich and extensive ter
ritory of Texas, he holds the language Of the uti
npatnm'' sent you that " she does not acknow-
ledge the right Of the American flag on the soil
and that she will defend her invaded territory, and
never, never permit new conquests or new advances
OF the government OF the United States"
The auaon by Paroles !" to the disturbing the
peace Of the world" has direct reference to the in.
reference that will, Of necessity, be demanded by
Mexico of European powers.
The " manifesto" it will be perceived, neutral
yes all the grounds upon which the reported attemp
of Santa Anna at new revolution are predicated
ana which, If undertaken, will not succeed
