'urs. we draw TINS conclusion from the repeat
ediy- aVoWed determination of the present Ad-
mlnlstration, to make no new engagements
whatever, that may, in any manner, unauly
mix the United States up with the domestic
affairs of any other government, even on this
continent At present, we have but a single
engagement of that sort. That is, the oblica.
ton IN the Clayton and Bulwer treaty to pro
tect the Nicaragua Canal Company. which. We
presume will, of course, be done, if ever the
interference of the United States be requisite
in that quarter which is hardly probable, a.
it is known that the Nicaragua government
has, substantially, no revenue except what is
paid them by the members of the Canal Com
pany holding the guaranteed transit right over
the Nicaragua isthmus.
However, We presume that NJ Marcsietta,
the Nicaraguan Minister, and Mr.. Beelan, the
Secretary of our Nicaraguan legation, arc now
engaged in negotiating notifications of Mr.
Borland's treaty, in this city, with the ex-
pectation, on the part of the American Gov
eminent, that terms will be agreed on between
them, such as will enable the President t.,
send in the treaty to the Senate, shorn of its
protectorate clause. of course

night time. But for all that large class whose

the gravest kind would Justify such delinquency
in the eyes OF the MussHiman. At the close oi
the RamaZan occur the three days Of Bairam. a

We learn from the Brownsville Flag that there
Is a growing discomfort among the citizens OF
Matamoros. and throug hout the State OF Tamau-
ipas. account of the arbitrary DEGREES recently
issued BY the Mexican Government. One of the
infamous DEGREES recently published. provides that
the property of every Mexican citizen who alb
sents himself fifteen DAYS from the country. shall
be contscated Another decree imposes d duty
o.. per cert. on all moneys leaving the interior
for the frontier. besides the per cent. export du-
ty. What makes this decree still more onerous
is the fact that no merchant can move his money
from the interior. without the special permission
OF the Government Another decree imposes an
extra duty of half per cent. on all goods mpor-
led into the country. the Flag says this is in fact
equiv vaient to about per cent
We copy the following from the Flag. OF the
oath ult.:
The black clouds of discomfort still continue to
gather around the political horizon OF our neigh
bors of Matamoros. Within the past week MANY
of the leading men OF that place have left and
taken refuge beneath the starry emblems of a
purer liberty than is at present vouchsaed to the
citizens OF the now mi>-called sister Republic.
Finding themselves threatened with the de-
privation of both liberty and property by the
ions OF the tyrant of Mexico. several of the lead
ing men OF the frontier have anticipated the meas
ures preparing for them. and .ed to this bank of
the river. Among .hese gentlemen are several

their countrymen has marked them out as objects
OF dread and hence OF persecution. Foremost
among these stands the celebrated rancho chief
tain. Don Macedonia Capistran, a gentleman
puted to WELD more influence than any other man
in the State of Tamaulipas.'
Desertinns are daily occurring. active prepara-
ton being made to meet antici pated attack
and evident alarm is everywhere manifest. We
know not the grounds upon which they hase this
alarm. unless it be in verihcation OF the old sa wing
that "a guilty conscience needs no accuser." We
see to anticipate revolutionary organi-
Zation among the exiles now in Brownsville
neither with those from Matamoros or from New
Orleans. That desperate struggle is inevitable
is eve. ywhere apparent, but it will blaze forth
upon Mexican soil and not as has been wrongly
surmsed by MEN organized among foreig gners.-
This accusation is wholly unjust and uniounded in
truth. We do not believe there is a single Am
erican in the movement. nor do we believe that
it is desired there should be.
