the sober second thought of the President finally came to
affairs very threatening and our interests in that

WASHINGTON, June 25, 1885,
President Pierce's Present MeScan Policy-Gen. Gads
den's Recall to Washington-IVhat he Thinks Of L.
Senor RoIles Position-Iolity to Comonfort-Another
Haul on the Treasury Expected.
Whatever may be the true object Of Mr.. Pierce in
ordering, at this critical of affairs Mexico the per-
to be confined to Senior Robles and few of his
supporters Americans and Mcxcans who the avowed
enemies of the ComonfoIt liberal government Gen.
Gadsden in his first and only interview with Mr.. Marcy,
informed that conversation with him matters Of
his mission was unnecessary as the President had taken
the subject in hand for arrangement and management
With the President he has been successful than
with Marcy and learn nothing of Mr. Picrces object
in bringing him here. The Mexican Minister is something
more explicit and open, and requests the recall Of
Mr. Gadsden on the ground that he Is unpopular
With the Mexican masses, or, in other words,
that he ayOrs the existing government. The in
tucnce of Senor Robles is very considerable with
the church, State and army party in Mexico and to get
him to accept his present MISSION large payments and
faticrng promises made to him, but with under
standing that he should not be required to give the
vernmen his support Since he has been in this country
he has avaiied himself of every opportunity 10 throw OBJ
staclcs in the way Of Comoniort with hope of bringing
about the old order Of things.
But the opposition of the Mexican Minister is the
only operating agent that is at work with President
Pierce get General Gadsden oat Of the way He has
the services Of those men, Americans, Spaniards and
Mcyoans who planned brbed and finally succeeded in
getting the United States, or rather Mr. Pierce to hand
to them the three millions which, by right, b.
lopgcd to the Mexican government. These men
at work (or further profitable sprculatons
are promised in case OF success) aided by mem
bcrs of the household of the President, who
known to have benefited largely by the distribution OF
money when the three million was on tho tcpis.
That affair acknowledged a good thing, and why
should not Mr. FeI ice take upon himself the responsible
,y of deciding against tho Comonort government and in
favor Of the displacement of Mr. Gadsden, particularly
that his Presidential is at close and that his
Mexican friends require this service at his hands The
truth il that Mr. Gadsden is be Soulisd that he will
have yield mp his mission to already agreed
upon, without why wherefore from the President
for the change Mr.. Marcy cody stands aside, aud
fuses to be implicated transaction that only bring
further disgrace upon the President ami his acts.
