GENERAL PAREDEs RETURN 10
MEXICO.
We mentioned last week in connection
With other important news from the
South, the fact that Paroles had made
his way into Mexico. Our space did
not then admit Of our MAILING many
comments upon the subject. We now
propose few remarks. Ii will be re-
n'efnbered that after Paroles had created
revolution in Mexico. by which means
ne effected the Punishment Of Santa. Anna
and assumed the functions Of dictator,
the opinion became quite prevalent among
allsclasses in Mexico, that he was secret.
y and quietly intriguing for. the es,ab-
lishment Of narchy upon the totter-
Ing ruins of The republic. This opinion
became so strong that in August 1916 he
was deposed, imprisoned and Santa Anna
recalled. He finally after brief con-
tinement, regained his liberty and left
the country for Paris, France, in which
place he has remained. until we hear
ssef his mysterious entrance into Vera
Cruz on the I4rn Of last month. Public
opinion has made him kind of selEcre-
ated Embassador to secure the nterfer-
ence Of France and England in bringing
this war to speedy close, as more sure
guarantee for the establishment Of En-
ropean monarchy in Mexico, and from his
known friendship for such form Of gov
eminent and the mystery connected with
his return, i. would appear that such opin-
ion is entitled to much credit. Hereto
fore this opinion we suppose has rested
upon the single fact that he was hostile to
a republic and therefore friendly to mon
archy, but now it is confirmed by the
almost positive certainty that England
and France have aided in plotting him
safely into Mexico, whether their designs
extend to active operations on the soil OF
Mexico is Of course, for the time being a
matter OF uncertainty. One thing is
very certain, that both England and
France are greatly alarmed a: the spread
of republlcanism, and would not we think
hesitate at any course, which would tend
i TO check its advance, providing they
would hazard nothing in the way of re
putation Or interest. But as ever true to
a foreign cause. in time Of war, many of
the Wing editors, (and as an instance
near home we cite the editor Of the
Hawkeye,J are laboring to dishonorably
connect the administration with Paroles
return. How can they reconcile this
sentiment with the oft repeated assertion
that President Polk favored the return of
Santa Anna. The two chieftans are
personally hostile to each other and their
Interests clash at every point-Santa
Anna is known to be an ardent supporter
of republican form Of government,
while Paroles is acknowledged to be
equally as ardent in his attachment for a
mpnarchy-if President Polk ever en-
couraged the return Of Santa Anna, it
was TO destroy the monarchical party
which had been reared up under the
profigate administration of Paredes.-
What has the sequel proved, that Santa
Anna has been less devoted than former
~ 10 the interests Of repubIicanism? no,
but that Paredes has been more devoted
IN carrying forward his original plan Of
preparing the way in Mexico for for
eign Prince. For The last year he
has been at Paris intriguing with the
French and British Ministers for this
change and the first ground for suspicion
with US, that his scheme has met with
any success, is his mysterious entrance
into Vera Cruz and thence to the interi-
or. Is there any doubt that his arrival
was understood and Anticipated by the
british authorities residing at Vera
Cmz-.hat he was 20 arrive on board
such boat that a peculiar signal was
TO be exhibited-and that every thing
was 70 be provided at Vera Cruz 10 facili-
/ tate his escape into the interior, before
knowledge Of his arrival should be
known to the authorities? This is as
plain as the monday sun to an impartial
eye and understanding. But let us look
5kt another fact connected with this case.
