The French and Spanish Designs on Mexico
We recently published some very important
information that we received from our correspon-
dent in Havana, in regard 10 the reported designs
of the French and Spanish governments on Mexi
co, and the probability that those COVE nments ac-
tually intended to establish monarchy in that
country, end'place the Infant Don Enrique on the
throne. This intelligence was extensively copied
by cur contemporaries, and was much remarked
upon wherever it appeared.
We published it as we received it, merely re.
marking that the evidence that is set forth was
sufficient to warrant the conclusion that these
governments really had some designs on Mexico
Since then we have found additional facts and
conclusions to support the proposition, and pro-
coed to give them in their order.
l The French have at this moment four or five
vessels of war off Vera Cruz; while England,
which has an immense commerce with Mexico,
and is deeply interested in the result of the pre-
sent war between that country and the United
States, sees no necessity for having more than
two.
2. Don Francisco Murphy, great friend and
confidant Of Santa Anna. has often been
heard to say that Mexico would never prosper
except as monarchy
3 In 1889, an eminent Mexican statesman,
named Curing Estrada, wrote pamphlet, advo
vocating monarchical institutions. Latterly he
has resided sometimes in Madrid, sometimes in
Paris, sometimes in Havana! Who knows but
that he may be prime minister OF Henrico l., King
OF Mexico We may observe, that Estrada's bro
ther-in.law, the well known Count Cortina, is sus
pected of being imbued with monarchica ideas;
and he too has lately gone TO Europe!
4. Within the last few years great many
Spaniards have emigrated TO Mexico, and &C
quired immense wealth and influence. These
Spaniards are strongly attached to the political in
stitutions of their fatherand.
5. When Santa Anna returned to Mexico from
the Havana, he brought with him host of Span
ish officers, amongst whom was the celebrated
General Alcorta. One or two regiments of Mex
lean volunteers are differed by Spanards solely.
6. The Havana correspondent Of the NeU Or
leans Bulletin, wrote a letter to that paper some
months ago, wherein he stated, that he had had
a long conversation with two Mexican generals
and that one affirmed that the Mexicans were not
worthy of living under a republican form of gov
eminent. These Mexican generals were, Ca
nalizo and Rejon, both OF whom are now men,
bers of Santa Annals administration
7. A letter from Paris, dated January Both, pub.
lished in the Providence Journal, says that the
writer was informed, few days previous, on very
high authority, "that Paredes is in Paris, en-.
deavoring, but without success, to entangle this
(the Freacb) governmentin the affairs of Mexico"
To say the least, these circumstances, as well
as those which we published few days since,
favor the suppos,ion that the affairs of Mexico
are now receiving the consideration of Spain and
France, TO say nothing of England, and
that BIT is not improbable that they really
intend to subvert the present government
of Mexico, and establish monarchy on its ruins.
If such be the case, their ultimate object is plain.
They will do it with the view Of checking and
overawingrhe United States.
We leave our readers to form their own con-
illusions from This chain of evidence.
