ENGLAND AND HUCATAN.--Ihe London Times,
of the 18th ult contains an article in reference to
the Yucatan question: of character very different
from one on the same subject, published some months
ago. wherein itdeprecated British interference with
this question, being likely to disturb the friendly
relations with this country England then stood
with high-strung expectation, waiting the result of
the storm in France, and it desired no enmity with
us by breaking in upon Mr.. Madison's declaration
against foreign occupation of American soil. This
last article, after stating the case as it exists, and
the imminent danger of the whites of Yucatan
concludes thus:
" if the contending parties We're left TO themselves
we have little doubt that the result would entirely
correspond to the present promise of the fray and
that Yucatan, at least, would again revert to the
red man Of America. Nay, we fully believe that

when the American army commenced breaking up
the other day from Mexico and La Pueba, Mr..
Peoples the warlike editor Of the Vera Cruz Star,
received and registered volunteers on his own ac-
count for an immediate expedition to Yucatan. 1t
seems, however, thatthe government OF Washing
ton enteralns the idea of despaching less irregular
succor, as General Butler cancelled Mr.. Peopess
edition Of war by issuing an order that no soldier
should be discharged until his arrival at some Amer
lean port. In their Distress the whites of GuCatan
are said to have made simultaneous proposals of al
legiance and annexation to more than one power
supposed to be interested in their possessions and it
will not of course be permitted that any fraction of
the European race should be visited with total eX
termination as penalty for having lost the ability
of seltdefence. But other considerations enter also
