rn. Movements or Paredes-The Prospects
M Penee-Tho Hall OF the Capital.
The Mexican question is just about as un-
decided and as unsettled as il was many months
aso in fact il is involved in more mystery than
af-w weeks since. The arrival OF Paroles 10
matter of much importance. and VIII probably
give different complexion TO the whole affair
Before Paroles left Mexico for Europe, he was
the grand head of the war party, was elected
as the war President, and as such opened the war
on the Rio Grande by ordering Arista to cross
that boundary. and take up his position on TINS
side In the course Of the frequent revolutions
in the espital of that distracted country, ne De-
came deooscd and had to fee the country Du-
1ae his exile he has been plotting against or Tor
bis cnnntrv. no one knows which-and whether
ia bos accomplished any thing one way or The
,,h.r il asesyet a matter Of much doubt. All
we know is. that he is in Mexico, and it is our
impres,ion tha, he will be heard from before ma.
ny days elspse. II is impossible to keep the run
Of these fellows no one can tell when they go
ont of sight, where they will come up next
They are all the time engaged In some scheme
or other, and contrive to further their own inter-
est at the expense of the miserable people they
pretend, or attempt, to govern. For ages the
Mexcans have been subject to all the extortions
their leaders have inflicted upon them, without
the power of resistance.
There is every probability Of the movements
of these fellows for the future being confined to
very small focus; and the one that takes the re.
sponsibility Of making peace with the United
States, upon the guaranty that his administration
shall be supported and consolidated by an Amer
lean Army of Occupation, will get the start of
all the rest, and get them in his power. The
city Of Mexico governs the country, as much as
Paris governs France. Every thing emanating
from that city carries an influence and power with
il sufficient to enforce il in all the departments
Of the Government; and whoever holds the cap
ital controls the country.
The presence of Paroles in Mexico can do us
no harm, aud may do lib some good We have
nothing TO fear from him or any other Mexican
leaderi in existence, either in or out of the coun-
try The whole territory is in our possession,
and the government, ifsuch thing really exists,
will soon be wandering round the country seek
ing resting place, with long train of followers,
the most conspicuous among which will be the
u
functionary follows the orders Of Lord Palmers-
ton. We would advise Mr.. Bankhead not to take
with him anything worth stealing, tor he will
surely lose it if he does All the aspirants to the
dictatorship, will compose this train, and it
would be good operation for some of the que
rills parties to keep an eye on their movements
They will find some game there worth plucking
as they make no distinction between friend snt
foe.
We have considerable curiosity to hear from thi
Paroles, to learn what is the result of his negoti
atoms in France. We want to know if Loui
Philippe has made any arrangement, through
him, for the establishment of member of hi
family in the Halls of the Montezumas al
these things we are anxious to solve, and trus
Mr.. Paredes will give, at once, to the world
the desired information. EXPIRES dents of Mex
leo are small potatoes. We have captured seves
raj of them, and did not consider them worth
keeping. 1t would be pity to take this one, for
there is every chance, in the event of his getting
among the other leaders, of some rare fun Of
getting up fight among themselves, and in
the way of pronunciamentos. The patriotism Of
these fellows is so extensive, that they boil over
and these pronunciamentos act as kind Of
safety valve
Gen Scott's entrance into Mexico will, with
out doubt, be contested, but there is very it'll
probability of its being arrested. Another grea
and glorious victory in the vicinity Of the CAPT
tai, would bring the Mexican Congress to thei
senses and MAKE them more peacefully inclined
We do not, however, look for peace from tn
present government of that republic-we do no
want it unless il is likely to be permanent TIL
frat thing after the capture of the city will b.
the establishment OF government with which
treaty can be made; then we can get our owl
terms, and have things all our own way. To thi
end must this war come ut last.
The FRENCH STEAMER MISSOURI steamer
left'her dock yesterday afternoon, at two O'Clock
precisely, having on board as pilot T. Harvey
Smith When she reached the stream, she me,
with very disagreeabe accident. The Mis-
souri, Influenced by the water, moved towards
the wharf below the place where she used to lie
and came in contact with barge having cargo
of wood, and broke her upper deck into pieces
damaging, ALSO partially, part of her own bull
warks near the bowsprt. She then proceeded
down the river, and, after landing some friends
among whom were the agent aud the consignee
disappeared gradually below the horizon; wher
we lost sight Of her
very large mail is carried by the Missouri
Ths royal mail agent told us that he had abou
twenty thousand letters and six thousand news
papers, in different bags; but the passenger
only amounted TO fifteen, including two person
in the steerage. The cargo of the Missouri wa
small, being only composed Of large snm Q
French FIVE franc pieces and Mexican dollars
and few boxes directed to importers in Havr
and Cherbourg.
We wish Captain MORN a trip as speedy an
happy as the passage Of the Union, which saile
his very day for New York; and we hope h
will return here without landing at Halifax.
