ambitious snd tloedy intrigues A large pecuniary
lndemnihcation should ia our opinion, be exaeted
Tor the benefit OF the families OF the murdered
Spanish citizens. Nor IS this sufficient reparaton
for so grave sn offence. Mexico should be brought
at once to some satisfactory arrangement touching
the deot she owes. This is az excellent opportu>

NC Whatever obligation. great or small, ancient or
modern, she is under to rs Its only on these con-
ditions snd others like them that this question can
be settled And if the Mexican Government re-
luses to comply with them, our troops will embark
Tor that unworthy country, and our ships blockade

AS further incentive to Spain to open a
war with Mexico, the New York Journal Of
Commerce suggests to its readers, the fol-
lowing:
"Besides the deep-rooted aniDosity which Mar
yaez, in common with the majority OF bis country
men, feels against the Mexican Republic, aud the
chance OF consolidating bis strength, which the
threatened hostilities afford him, be has an oppor-
unity of gratifying the Pope and the Roman Catho
lie Clergy, by Furnishing ComoDiort and his govern
ment, for their con6seation of the i'll gotten wealth
OF the Mexican priesthood There can be little OF
no doubt that the Romish government has instigated
the present rulers of Spain to make cdr upon Meri-
co; aud If they carry their project into effect the Oh
ject of the expedition will be quite as much to re-
establish PapaI supremacy in Mexico as obtain re-
dress for the alleged injuries to Spanish residents in
that country"
