important from Mexico.

by the brig Angela, arrived here this morn
jus, says the n .. Poayune, we have papers
ui that city The 18th, and from the city of
Le>ico of the IN May.
The first thing which struck our attention
was an editorial in the Trait q Union OF the
lust date, which contains some significant
I.ietrHcr' 10 political affairs in this country.
II the splIt therein displayed should prevail
ir ah- Government, it viii be very unexpect-
yl % The Lincoln Administration, who have
t-rH counting on Mexican sympathy. 1t will
t- hard Tor Mr.. Seward 10 be snubbed by
.l-AECo.
Ihr iraitd Union men tions the simultane-
aus arrival Of three new dipIomatists com =
Hi-sion-d 10 the Government, namely, by
LrElauG, Belgium, ana Dir. CoTNin from
Washington CITY. We translate what it saws
o. this last named gentleman and his mis-
slJH
"In what capacity does this represen tative.
appointed by hr. Lincoln, come here EVIL
IDENTIFY in The capacity OF Minister of the
iait'd States, that Is to say, OF the Confed-
Grey, such rs II was before the separation of
tue States of The South. Gan he, ought he 10
be received IN that capacity That is the first
question 10 be solved.
We must be very careful op that point
HE iIst step on such grounds may be very
dangerous Ir. COrwin would not be simply
recognized as the represen tatiye of only the
States of the North; and the Mexican Gov
eminent cannot recognize him rs represent
lug jHe states of the south.
Ii Mt. LtncOln's envoy limits his prntpu-
s,ous 80 as to be only The representative OF
the North, he strikes a blow NJ the dignity OF
IA. own Government, and admits thereby that
iu- Almiuis tratlOn, whose cOlnmis sion ne
HOLDS Is ma king in this movement an unjust
aAd unlawful war on the South and that il is
not possible for him to do.
1t Mexico should receive him as repre.

legitimate uthority OF the Confederate Sta tes

tA!s IS not more possible for them.
Mr.. JorWin comes, as is said, to conclude
% trelty. That question may be handled
later, The only Question tor the present is
mat OF his reception, and frankly the case
seems 10 US a very embarrassing one. Per
haps II will be submitted To Congress. We
snail see how they get rid OF it.
'lt must not be forgotten that the Republt-
can party-the same which Mr. Corwin re-
pres"nts-retnsed to raLify the treaty of Me-
Lane which was so favorable at the time TO
tue Liberal cause, on the main ground that
lEe treaty had been made by Government
whose authority did not extend over The
Whole nation. This argument may now bt.
returned against the Republicans: tor the an
thoTity against Mr.. Lincoln is certainly very
lar from reaching over the whole OF the coun-
Try which once formed the confederate of
the United States.
This reasoning is trengthened by other
considerations less potent. The necessity
which Mexico has for living on good terms
with the Confederate States, its nelghbor; the
danger 10 lis frontiers of making for itself so
formidable an enemy its need OF commercial
relations with the Confederate States and
many other Irresistible reasons, upon which
