AN INDIRECT PROTECToRATE OVER Sonora
Mr. Nc Kibben, one of the representatives iu
Congress from California, has addressed a COM
municatiOn to the secretary Of the navy, in
which he suggests that the CaliiOrnians are a
highly migratory people, and that the thirty
thousand who have just returned from Fras"r
river, will be very likely to go next to northern
Mexico. He therefore asks that naval force
may be sent to the neighborhOod of Guaymas,
the chief port Of Sonora, to protect the lives
aud property Of such American citizens as may
make that port their point of destination. He
says the Mexican government is unable to pro-
tect our citizens in that quarter, aud that Pes
chiera, the dominant chief OF Sonora, is deadly
hostile against all Americans and there is there.
fore an absolute necessity that sufficient force
should be sent to protect American emgranis
Once the reply to this would have been that il
our citizens choose to emigrate to other coun-
tries, they must take the institutions Of such
countries as they are and run their own risks.
Now it seems to be assumed that we may estab.
lish our own government within the Mexican
government, aud the Cali foruia representative
demands this action in behalf of his migratory
constituents in ad vance. The fact, as We sup
pose. is that this is a part Of the process by
which Sonora is TO be appropriated.

THE LAST MEXICAN NEws,--A chief difficult
comes from the fact that most of the fighting is
done in the newspapers and by false rumors.--
War seems to be conducted very much like one
of our political campaigns and ali the factions
busy themselves in circulating tremendous sto-
ries Of their own victories, in order to frighten
their opponents. The Vera Cruz newspapers
are full Of reported defeats of the Zuloaga par
ty all over the country, while the news from the
city Of Mexico indicates that the actual gov.
ernment is in fact strengthening itself aud sup
pressing all opposition. 1t seems to be the fact
that all communication between Vera Cruz and
the city Of Mexico has been cut Off and thai
the castle of Perote, which commands the state
of Vera Cruz on the inland side has fallen into
| the bands Of the Zuloagist. And If we may
believe the Vera Cruz papers, Gen. Echeagaray
by whom the castle was taken, has with shock
ing cruelty ordered all the officers and one fifth
of the men taken to be shot, in revenge for the
assassination of Gen. Manero and others, by the
liberals at Zacatecas The city of Vera Cruz
is evidently in danger of attack by the govern
ment forces, from the fact that the military
commander has ordered all who may scale the
walls of the town to be shot, except boys under
eighteen, who are to be hogged. At the city
of Mexico, Zuloaga was forcing another con
tribution from the capitalists to provide for tht
| defense Of the city.

LORD NAPIER AND HIS REcALL.-TLe specu
lations at Washington upon the recall of the
British minister run into an unexpected aud Gu.
rious channel. Like most of the foreign minis
ters, ne had established intimate relations with
the pro-slavery side Of society at Washington
and throughout the country, and excluded the
representatives of the free labor sentiment from
his intimscies, il not from his courtesies and
has thus identified himself with the home poll
cy and purposes Of Mr.. Buchanan's administra-
tion. This is believed to have been distasteful
to the new minister of England, whose atteD-
lion il is suggested has been called to the po-
sition Of their representative by Mr.. Sumner
now in Europe, and VINO prefer, it is inferred,
to be represented here by gentleman of more
independent if not opposite sympathies. II the
successor Of Mr. Napier should therefore be
more impartial in his intercourse with Washing
ton society, and represent more faithfully the
English view Of our domestic politics, his pub
lie usefulness may not be impaired or his pri
vate relations rendered less agreeable and in
structive, while that class of our social politi
clans who worship distinguished foreigners
and live Lords will not escape an instructive
lesson. The republicans at Washington are
certainly quite reconciled to Lord Napier's re-
turn, much more so, it is believed than either
himself or the representatives of the other par
ty.
