holders in England. The to-day's Times states:
Eneb,nd, France, and Spain have concerted an ex-
"pediionto bring Mexico to the performance Of her
"specifc engagements, and to gire protection 10 he
" subjects Of the respectire crOwns.' However in
tie progress Of It's article, TIE Times veers round,
and exclains: owe shall, no doubt, succeed IN ot-
" tanning at least a recognition Of our pee1niary
CLAIMS in fact single Brtish Crisaie could hare
" obtained that amount q satiJaet'oH al any mo
"ment. We may trust, too, that the more seaLdaous
"of the outrages committed will be expiated by
"more immediate and substantial atoDementsi but
e" as clear hat, j only his much acaS 10 be brought
about are need not hare resorted 10 such ertrees
"as are nor proposed
TIE Times, then, confesses in 50 many wOrds that
the reasons originally given out for the expedition are
shalOw pretexs; that for the attainment Of redress
nothing like the present procedure was needed and
that in point of fact, the Recognition Of monetary
" claims, and the protection of European subjects
have nothing all do with the present joint inter
yention in Mexico. What then, is ito real aim and
purposei
Before following Tie Times in its further expl2-
nations, we WILL en- PEASANT, note some more cpri-
osiies" which il has taken good care no, TO touch
upon IL the fret instance, il is real 'curioeIy" TO
see Spain-Spain out of all other countries-turn
crusader for the sancty of foreign debts Last
Sundays Courrier des D,maaches already summons
the French Government TO improve the opportunity,
and compel Spain, into the eternally delayed per
forrnauce Of her old standing engagements to
" French bondbolders."
The second still greater curiosity" is, that the
ve,y same Palmersion who, according to Lord John
Russo recent declaration, is about invading Mexico
TO make its Government pay The English bonoboid-
ere, las hnseh, voluntarily, and despi,e tue aieSi-
can Government sacrificed tie treaty rights OF In
g'and and tie security morgaged by Mexico to her
Briiish creditors.
Bv the treaty concluded with England In 1870,
Mexico became bound 10 not allow The establishment
Of Slavery in any of the territories constituting her
then empire. BY another clsufe Of the came treaty,
she rendered England, as security for the loans OBJ
ained from Bri,ish capitalists, the mortgage Of a.
600 900 acres Of tie public lands in Texas 1t was
Pauer.on who, fen twelve year, later, nteriered
~ the mediator for Texas against Mexico. la tie
treaty then concluded by him with Texas, he sacri-
heed not only tie Anfi-Siarery eaVse but also The
mortgage OF he public lands, thus rgbbiog the In
gli-h bondbolders OF their secmiy. The MesicaD
Government protested at the time, bu' meanwhile,
later on Secretary ohm c. Calhoun could permit him
self the iest Of informing the Cabinet Of ST. james
that it, desire OF seeirg Slavery abolished in Texas
" would be" best realized by annexng TcXas 20 the
United Staes. TIE English bondhoIders lost, in
fact, any claim upon Mexico, by the voluntary sarr
fee on the part Of PalmorstOn of the mortgage &C.
cured to them in the treaty Of 1896.
But tinee The london Times avows thai the Pges-
ent Intervention las nothing TO do either with none
tary caiIns or with personal outrages what, tlen in
all the world, is its real or pretended aimi
Z" An authoritative inLyJTeaee IN beb9J Of

an armed arcoragus for the restoration OF order all

strange, If Fance were, in both the old and new

On reasoning in the same strain, and resumes ils
scruples in this sentence: 8" II is hard 10 sugpose
that the intervening powers could all concur in the
f" absolute preference Of either o! tho two parties
" between which Mexico lie divoed and eqaGRyhard

practicable between enemies 10 determined
Pnlmerston and The Tines tlen, are fully aware
that there "exists L government in Mexico that
",he Liberal party, Ostensbly favored bv England
! "is now in power" that "the ecclesiastical rule
"hss been oyertirown;" thai Spanish Intervention
was the last fororn hope Of the priests and bandits;
and, finally, that Mexican anarchy dying away.
They know, then, that the joint Intervention, with
10 other avowed end save the reseue Of Mexico
from snarehy, will produce just the opposite effect
weaken the constitutional Government, strengthen
the presty party by supply 0; French and Spanish
bayonets, rekindle tie emben OF civil war, and
inftead Of exingishing, restore anarchy to its full
bloom.
The inference The Times itself draws from those
premises il really remarkable" and "cuTious"
