Mexico.

In reply to the recently presented memo
rial from English merchants trading with
Mexico. for protection of their interests,
Lord John Russell says that her Majesty's
government is enleayofing to como to
some understanding with the other Powers
respecting the advice to be offered, and as
sures the memorialists that no opportunity
will be lost Of interfering, by counsel, with
view to bring about termination of the
present devastating aud sanguinary war
His lcrdship ailades to the difficulty Of as
certaining which is the de facto government,
as Great Britain and Eraace acknowledge
the President who has possession eff Mexico
and the United States another President at
Vera Cruz. Itseems that every succeeding
development goes to prove the necessity Of
prompt and energetic action on the part Of
car gsvefpnsntaa The asaIs Of Iszies !.

Arrival of the Arabia.


The Arabia arrived on the 9th, bringing
three days later news from Europe, the
most important Of which is a manifesto by
Napoleon, expressive of his views on the
Italian question, and the temporal power of
the Pope. The Emperor proposes in sub
stance, that the Pope shall retain certain
temporal power, without any political au-
thority, and free fronl the cares and trou-
bles of government, his territory to be con-
fined to the city of Rome, where he shall
maintain royal State, supported by the
contributions of Catholic Europe Romag-
ma, which refuses to submit to the Papal
rule, will not be restored by France nor,
will Austria be allowed to press it into mea-
surcs by force Of arms.
This manifesto is likely to shape the ac-
ton Of the European Congress, which is
soon to assemble, the adjustment of the
Italian question being the principle object
of its Convocation. Since the policy of
Napoleon is received and applauded, in Eng
land, and Russia has always been favorable
to the Napoleonic idea of Italian Affairs,
and Austria in the face Of this declaration
Of the French Emperor, dares not interfere
to defeat his will, we may consider the OBJ
ject Of the Congress anticipated, and vir-
tual settlement of Italian affairs attained.
