that they ought not " force Mexico TO pay what she did

by The same habits and usages He accused tho Spanish

He alluded also to the project Of foun ling Mexico

ought TO be made responsible for the murders
committed on Spanish subjects. They brigands who
perpetated those crimes and the Mexican authorities

Some Of the criminals arrested, tried condemned
and executed It was clear that the Mexican authorities
had done all in their power 10 give satisfaction to Spain
After showing that there unfounded demands
among the bond fde ones, and which Mexico could
and ought not TO pay and that the urderers of Spanish
subjects had already expated their crimes with their lives
General Pm ended with these words'' you desire
make war, why do you attack the savage hordes
Morocco who insult flag? Why do you remain satisfied
with the payment by the Emperor Of Morocco Of the prc
Of sh captured two years ago by the Moors OF the Riff
Is the blood Of Spanish soldiers shed in combas with the
Moors on the Mella frontier Of no value to be OF no &C
COUNT Are these insults, which will detail for very
shame sake unworthy OF notcer Yet they far
real and more dshonoring than any grievances We may
have against Mexico. Why much energy against
ration which is falling to pieces every day, and much
patience with Morocco DO not the Moos of the Riff hold
soldiers prisoners, and do they threaten TO put
them to death unless restore the guns which they used
in batterng Mellas Why, if you are so ardent do you
not demand satisfaction from the English government for
the expressions uttered by Lord Mamesbury against
country Do not be 80 arrogant 20 Mexico which cannot
oppose you with army feet What do you expect
TO gain by this expedition. You viii gain nothing but the
destruction OF the influence which the Spanish ought
TO possess there. Hold back, them if il be yet time If
be too late and If your guns have already opened fire in
these waters must certainly wish the flag of the country
to be victorious. Certainly that is what DESIRE and IT,
in order TO conquer have need OF addt sword
you may count upon mine.
The debate resumed at the sitting of the lith aud
