A new chapter in the brief and cheqner
ed history Of Mexico, it seems, is about to
open.-The latest arrivals from this coun
tr,. bring several numbers of a new paper
iust started, which advocates the establish
ment, on the ruins Of that republic, OF a
constitutional monarchy, as protection
agains, the 'annexing process, aPpreht nd
ed from the United States. This project
has been in the progress of gradual deve-
1opemen It for little more than year past.
In the first place, il was dimly shadowed
forth in publication made in Paris, about
a twelve month ago, by an attache to the
French legation III mexico, and was usher
ed TO the world as a sort OF fceler, under
the immediate authority of the French
Government. Subsequently, the French
prints, in the confidence of the ministry
would occasio nsly allude to the subject,
with evident appreciation. and IN connec-
tion with it, nj. Guizot made his famous
declaration concerning the balance OF
power in America. Gradually, the idea
seemed to be taken up in England. with
out any apparent concert Of action on
the subject, and, as it would appear to the
casual observer, without any understand
ing on the subject betw cen the two govern
ments. The correspondent Of the London
Times, in the city Of Mexico, dccidenily, OF
course, imbibes the same idea; and on
the 18th Of January,I think. devotes an
of monarchy in Mexico, guaranteed by
the monarchs Of Europe, which appeared
in Paris, in the first place, as mere sug
gestion, Is broadly and unequivocat and
almost simultaneously with this, we have
the establishment OF a monarchical paper
in Mexico. These condolences are singu-
lar, to say the leas, of il; and before we
have full view Of this drama, which lie
now apparently 10 the course of prepara-
ton and rehearsal, the .nonintertere nee
resolutions of Mr. Allen, may be imbued
with a much more serious meaning, tha u
.stnere record of opinion. Al least, !
mink so, because l take il !, that the repub-
lie is prepared to stand by the noble SEN
timent proclaimed in 1928, with SO mucl
effect, by President Monroe. If the peo
Pile of Mexico, really prefer manarcbica
institutions, and without European inter
ference establish them among themselves
/ do not know, that, recognizing. as we
do, the right of the people to arrange these
things as may suit themselves, we should
have any right TO interfere.--Bn as II IL
now procl aimed, il a constitution al mon
archy' 10 to be established in Mexico, thro
the influence and agency Of com hinat'r I
OF European mobafchs, and the permanen
CIV of that throne is to be guaranteed by
an alliance Of European powers, the q"es
tion is presented to us in an entirely ne"
aspect. The fundamental principles o
self government, for which we contend
and which we are bound 10 defend will
all our energeries and resources, are es'
sentiully invaded, by distant people, en-
tertairipg views of government hostile tt
our own. They aIe not only invaded, but
the opposite principles are sought to b.
inculcated, at the point Of the sword; ant
if we permitourselves TO remain passive
we shall soon be surrounded, as with
meah, ready TO be sprung upon us, by thess
anrSgonistical institutions. Will il b,
