The Consultation thinks that the London
Times faithfully reflects the sentiments of the
British people, in urging the recognition by
Great Britain of the Juarez Government in
Mexico, on the ground that the sympathies Oh
England are due to the same party which has
secured the friendship of the United States,
that the constitutional party is by tar the
larger and more popular party, that the inter
csts of civilization and humanity are involved
in the triumph, and that young America is
preferable to old Spain.
The Constitution also treats upon "The
Progress of Free Government in Europe" as
the probable result of the pending war.
The IntelIigeneer publishes an elaborate
communication from Mr.. Geo. l.. Stephens, on
the subject of Mexican disorders and plans for
their remedy, rather TO oblige the writer it
