HOW MINISTER CORWIN IS RECEIVED IN
NENTCn

By late arrival the New Orleans Picayu1e is in re-
ceipt of the Trait Union, Journal published in the
city of Mexico from which it tril states article with
reference the U. s. Mi'isttr. After annou ciog
hi, arrival, the Trait d Union goes on to say
In what capacity does this representative, appointed
by Mr. Lincoln, come htreg Evidently in The capacity
of Minister of the United Stats that is to say, OF the
Couederacy such as before the separlton Of the
Stat OF the South. Can he, ought he to be received
in that capacity This is the fist gu ion to be solved
eve must bs very careful on that point. The first
step on such grounds may be very dangerous. Mr. Cor
win would not be simply recognized - the repr s.nta-
tive of only the Stat of the North aud the Mexican
Government cannot recognize him representing the
States of the South.
"If Mr. Lincolus envoy limits his protensions to be
the representative OF The North the strikes blow at the
dignity OF hs government and admits thereby that
the Administration whose commission he holds is max
ing in this moment an un ust and unlawful the
Southland that is not possible for him TO do.
"If Mexico should receive him representing at
the States of the North and of the South would there
by discrcdt the legitimate authority Of the Confederate
States and Of the government at Montgomery and this
is net more possible for them.
"Mr Corwin comes az is said, TO conclude treaty.
That question may be handled later. The question for
the present is that OF his reception and frankly the
case seems to u9 very embarrassing one Perhaps it
will be submitted to Congress. We shall how they
will get rid Of il. II not be forgotten that tie
publican party--the same which Mr.. Corwin repre-
sents-refnsed 10 ray the treaty of Mr. McLane, which
was so favorable ut the time to the Liberal cause the
main ground that the treaty had Deen made by gov
ernment whose authority did extend over the whole
patton This argument may now be turned against The
republicans; for the authority of Mr.. Lincoln s ccr-
tanly now very far from reaching the whole OF the
country which ones formed the Confederation of the
the United Stltee.
''Tds reasoning ia strengthened by other considera
tons not less potent The necessity which Mexico has
for living on good terms with the Confederate States it's
neigbor the danger to its frontiers of making for it.
se SO formd ,be enemy its need Of commercial rela.
tons with the Confederate States snd many other rre-
sistble reasons upon which we shall take mora than
one occasion to dilate"
