Lord JOHN RUSSELL said in reply An honorable gen
man asEs me question with regard to the affairs
Mexico, and especially with regard to Sir c. Wyke n
answer have to give Is, that government had
gagged to give sort OF moral support to the late COVE
ment OF Mexico-that is to say, such recognu on
til It governn en would give strength to thoseI
authority In Mexico But then the Office OF Minister fr
this country vacant at the time Sir g Wyke III

great intricacy and difficulty that had arisen had
personal knowledge of Sir c Wyke -All that knew

pcal climstes 1 recommended HIM TO her Majes
Tor the appointment 10 Mexico. He did no. cod
home from his duties In Central America till the mon
of May. / in b pes before that pefioi ID
he would have bsen able to 60 10 Mexico bat gn

TO Mexico, but he said his health that t,me was 4
restored, and no went TO the waters Of Carlsbad Sin
that time his health has improved, and he viii be alb
to go by the next packet TO Mexico. Sir C. Wyke b
been fifteen years in tropical climate and during tn
period he has been only year ana ten months
hcme, so that he fully en.tled to the short eaye
absence he had obtained. (Hear, hear.) should s,
that the management Of affairs Mexico has duri
this interval, been ordoct.d by Mr. Mathew gent
man who has great know lc &C Of the circumstances
that country There great difficulties to confer
with there for there government at Mexico al
another at Vera -Cfuz, AMI although he might cut
into an agreement With the government al Me
leo he could obtain redress ut Vera Cru
and If he made arrangement with Il
government at Vera Cruz be could obtain no redress
Mexico. (Hear, hear) Nov there is but one 20 yer
mont, ard when Sit c wyke proceeds there he W
have to dealwith one government only, an trust
will be as successful there he has been
agree with what the honorable gentleman has said OIL
republics Of South America Those countries arc 90
ssssed OF great fertility much natural wealth and

amcLg oil classes OF the people, but long rs theg
main IN the Distracted state in which many Of them no
are, consequences will be that the property of Brit
subjects will Lst he safe. (fsar) There Is nothit
which 1t is more diicSt for oreiga Minister 70 Gotta
than redress and IL is frequently found IN South Am
RIGA that government which mits an injury is Al
solved and another in II. place before redress can be
TAXED. (iear am sorry that II has not been In O,
