Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1859-05-27

WAsHrNoToN, Nav 20.-The dispatches
from Mr.. McLane was received last evening.
I co not find that the prospects Of either OF
the e~ontending parties are 90 gees a. 70 en-
courage much rellauce upon The estsbhshmenl
al an early daF, Of a stable government ~
Mexico. The ofscial dispatches simply show.
a. IS believed, that Mr.. McLane e himself Il q
loss what 70 do, and needs nstruetonss which
be asks. This government i no donbt more
perplexed than ever on the subject. TneTcan-
not well recede from the ground they have "a
ken in favor Of the Jgarez ~goveTnm9lt, and
they cannot proceed on that ground without
meeting grave obstacles.
All The private letters have q desponding
tone in REGARD 10 the situation Ct Affairs They
are likely 10 be worse before they can Be mead
Cd. Mr.. McLane, i Is stated, viii take sum
-mer quarters ~ Miuatitisu, or in some place
out Of Vera Cruz.
NTr. MeLane has negotiatel no treatiea az
vet, whatever be may b. Instructed 70 DO here
after.-Tuarez, itmaY well be believed, il ready
10 enter into any treaty which may be he
means OF giving him support from this country.
The burden Of private letters from Mexico is
that the United States government must put
things right 10 Mexico BY sending q large
armed force into that country, and eonqueuag
Il, and holding it, after Napo'eon's plan OF
managing the Italian question. But THIS
would be war, and the executive government
is Dot the w~ar-makiug power. Congress-
which body can alone declare war Wouldiaugh
at surh a proposition.
Ihave seen a letter FROM a friend q Presi-
dent Juarez, whfch saws thathe would now &C
cept the aid Of United States troops, but still
be is opposed TO tie employment Of volunteer
troops G.. 6libustereus. But The executive
can send bin no troops without TIE action OF
Congress. 70 is about time for another reYolu-
HErw nv H--. Hm nrwfam nnN che mmHHnan nnrr In
conflict may BE- remodelled and the leaders
changed. But il is hardly probable that change
will bring any improvement
Recent and authentic s~ccouuts have made US
better acquainted with the Mexican state Of
Sonora, which has been a possession much COW
eted BY some OF our own people. and is, per-
haps, al some time, 70 be purchased BY this gov
eminent The country Is utterly Incapable Of
supporting a civilized population, though
~aboundIng in minerals which il would be no
expensive to mine.
Arizoni-or, as Il IS now called, .Aud-Lons,
is much Of he SAINT description Of country. but
has beeniooked upon az valuable acquisition,
for the reason that Il affords a very productive
post-routs TO California. The whole "Gads-
den purchase 50 called, is hardly worth what
& has already cost.
II the United States Government had even
been in want Of an adequate provocation for
seizing upon Cuba, it Is not the ease now.
The last and GROWING outrage Of the i~nsolsnt
authorities Of Cuba upon the United States is
the threat Of the Goysrnor-General 20 send the
twenty-five Cuban f'ibusters back to the
United States whence they came. An act Ike
this viii certsillv be considered as 2 c1sus
bclL.
Mr.. Appleton VIII not probably lesfe The
state Department for some months.
Colonel Hatch, Of New York, has been
offered and has declined the mission 10 Mica
Tsgua. He nav, however. be appointed 10 the
sureyorship Of Utah ION.
