manity of the Americans in wagng war upon the inno-
cent, simple and virtuous Mexicans-the poor Mexi-
cans!-the kind-hearted Mexicans! Who would not
sympathse with such generous and courageous race
Iii somewhat singular, however, and difficult to ac-
count for that the Inteligencer approved and JUS
titled the unprovoked aggression of the English upon

to prove that the English had right to force the Chi
