| THE THREATENED WAR BETWEEN SPAIN
AND MEXICO.
From Our own Correspoudent
LONDON, Feb 20, 1867.
Two questions Of grea, importance pcw present.
Il emselyes to the Spanish C,bines-shN Of Mexico
and hat of Rome. The Mexican question threatens
foreign war; that of Rome sn interior one. On one
side the press-Absouts,, Moderado, Prcsrcsists
and Democrstic--css loadly for qstise against the
outrsges with which the spansrds are being loaded
in Mexico; and the Government. which needed very
little squirting on to declare ii.elf hostile 10 that Re-
public, is making warLks preparations, ADD 10 de-
tsrnined to act with energy. Being martial Gov.
eminent, it can be easily understood that It does
not think much of having recourse 10 diplomacy,
which taking into account the present cream
stances, would perhaps be useless. Go the other
side the spostocal party, whose root takes ts sap
from the Vatican, and its golden foliage from tho
mines of Spain, does not content that
is is triumphant-with the concessions made by the
Government, and wishes TO carry the reaction even
behind the sale OF the national property taxing back
the in mense tracts of Church lands, which were
formerly ncult in the power Of the monks, and
which now produce great riches, cultivated By
their new prOpriesors from the hands Of these and
restoring them to the religious communities, whose
extensive and immediate creation 10 eIscted with
the imperious tyranny which Rome uses toward na-
tons which are wesk. In vain has the Governnoot
attempted to satisfy the desires Of the Papal Sea-
making concessions which pass the limits ses 10 tho
policy of Gen. Narvsez BY the suferance Of the
people. Rome has not yet sent her representative,
and ST. Mon, appointed Embssssdor Of Spain 10
Rome has not yet left for his post under the pro.
tense Of bad cold, of chiloains neglected or OF G
toothacbe which troubles him. But in the actual
state Of the relations between the two Courts tho
Spanish Minister Of State aware that weak hu.
nanity has lungs and feet and teeth VII ch must be
sacrificed upon occasion, ought 10 have recon-
mended 10 ST. Mon patience and the airs Of Italy.
His not doing 90 Ii to most people proof sufficient
that the state Of the relations with Rome 70 very
far from being satisfactory.

says, with reference TO the Mexican question,
"a naval division will ret sail very shortly from our
port, composed Of the ship Of the line Rs rsosSs

It may be relied upon that in expressing this con-
ndenoe the Ministerial organ has not overrased The
sentiment of the country ia its favor, and against
the conduct Of the authorities in Mexico. The
press Of all colors, and of every degree Of influence,
10 out unanimously in articles breathing the determi
nation of SPAN to exact repsrstion for tho sssassi
nation Of the Spsniards BY the troops Of Alvarez
and promising the support Of every class ofSpAnish
society to carry through the undertaking. Eyca
the democratic organs, which are the farthest re-
moved from the Ministerial journals in all questions
Of interior policy, have gone ahead Of them in tho
strength Of their decamstions against the Mexicaa
indisnties and in tho folness Of their promises 10
support the Government in . firm and aoy ieldng
policy toward that country. The signs look war.
