MExico.-An article on the subject Of
the participation of our navy in the civil
strifes of Mexico, embOdying the main fea-
lures Of the capture of the two steamers of
Vera Cruz, will be found upon the outside,
taken from the Tri6une We have devot-
ed some space to this matter for the rea.
son that it is the 6rst steps in perhaps a
series, or in a concerted systematic plan for
the plunder Of Mexican territory, and the
extension of the area of slavery. The
schemes of slavery are insidious, as well as
open, aud defiant, and the portion Of the
people who have no sympathies in these
schemes, or the ends they are intended to
subserve, should acquaint themselves with
the facts as they are occurring, of each ot
these successive mannuvres. 1t is with thiE
design that we call special attention TO this
matter, while the whole thing may be grasp
ed and fixed in the mind, without much la
Dor, and while novelty lends interest, and
repays the acquisition.
This affair is causing the administration
some little uneasiness and perplexity A
pretext, amounting to anything like plau'
sibility or Justification, it is found diff
eult to trump up. 1t was first thought a
charge Of piracy would answer the purpose,
but upon reflection, the administration is
unwilling to assume the responsibility which
that charge invokes, Of hanging some 200
prisoners. This would be little too sangui-
nary, and very naturally causes shrinking.
The firing of Capt. Turner across the bows
of the steamers, is said to have beer in con.
sequence of refusal of Marin to- show
his colors. This turns out now to be a
mere pretext, as the steamers we're lying
quietly at anchor, and the time of the at.
tack was after night fall, when the showing
OF colors might be very uncertain affair
even if it were not, as is asserted. that nc
man-of-war ever hoists flag at night The
Mexican statement of the collision at thit
time, has not been received When it comes
some new light may be thrown on this, thus
far, apparently uDjustifable affair. Oul
earnest hope should be that this TRANSACTION
may not complicate us with foreign govern
ments. In the mean time let us watch
Since the above was written, the partic
nlars as given by four of the crew of the
Mlramon, have been published through the
New Orleans papers, which we copy and
commend to attention.
