Mr. Otray Learep dc.
On the 18Th we were advised by mail from the United
States Of the action of the British House Of Commons upon
ME state of Mexico The alluson made by Lord John
Russell TO the conduct Of Mr. Otway is accepted with
smiling faces by all the British residents Of Mexico It is
clear from that aluson that Otway is not only recalled
but that he is certain of being entirely from the
diplomatic SERVICE for will BIO impossible for him de-
fend himself against any Of the accusations brought
again him. His defence can only drag him down deeper
into the dirty pit into which he has thrown himself.
Everybody is rejoicing at the approaching elevation Of
Mr. Mathew to the position of Her Majestys Charge DAT

coming in Of Mr. Mathew and the going out Of Mr. Otway
all the priests, Spaniards and violent partizans Of
the present clergy clique but I can, with al
truth, say that every Englshman and every
American in Mexico heartily rejoices at tho
change well the great bulk of respectable French
men and Mexcans. Mr.. Mathew is understood to be
thorough going, squaretoed John Bull, gentleman who
will stand from any government, and who
will stick out for the rights of his countrymen and be
found wanting in lending friendly hand for the proec
ton Of citizens of other countries should circumstances
leave them unprotected. His presence here her

sincerely to be hoped that the British government will
give him the character Of full ambassador in order
to convince these people Of the appreciation in which he
is held.

Parties are rapidly forming here as American and anti
