BY tho brig Angela arrived " New-OrIeaDs from
Vera Cruz have papes Of tha, city to the l2h aud
from the City Of Mexico Of the 7th May.
The Troh d. Uaion m,Dtions the Simultaneous ar
rival Of three d;plNnatiss, commissioned TO tho
Government, namely, by England, Belgium, and Dir.
Corwin from Washington City. We tran-ate what II
says Of the last named gentleman ard his mission:
" In wha capacity does this representative, appoint
cd By Mr. Lincoln come berei Evidently, III the ca
paty of Minister Of the Uted States that is 70 cay,
If the CoDfederacy such II was before the separation
of the States Of the South Can be, ought he, to be
received in that capacity That Is the fist question 10
be resolved.
ave must BE- very careful on that point. The first
step on such grounds may be very dangerous. Mr.
Corwin would not be simply recognized ~ the repre-
sentative cf only the States OF the North, ana tue
Mexican Government cannot reooonlze him asrepFe-
senting he States of the South.
"If Mr.. Lincoln envoy lmlt. his pre- en.ions 30 rs
TO he only the representa- i've OF the North he strikes
q blow at the dignity Of is own Government, and ad-
mi thereby that tue Administrator whose coinmls.
zion he holds IL making at this moment an unjust ana
unaW u war on the Southland that IL Is not possible
for hin % do.
ali Mexro should receive him as representing at
once the States of the North and Of the South Il would
thereby discredii the legitimate authority OF the Con
Tolerate States and Of the Government n. Montgomery
and this IL not more possible for tDem
Mr.. Corwin comes is said, 20 conclude a treaty.
That question may behandled a'er. The only question
for tbe present ishat Of his reception and frankly TIE
u
will be submitted TO Congress We shall see how they
will get out Off.
II Iaus. not he forgotten that the Republican party
the same which Mr Corwiu represerts-reiused to
ratfy the treaty Of McLane, which wa 70 favorable
vt the tine 10 The Liberal cause, the niau ground
that the treaty had been made by Government uhose
authority did not eLtead orr tie Uhoie nation. Tbs
argument may low be returned against the Repub-
cans for the authority Of Mr. Lincoln Is certainly
very far from reaching the whole OF the country
with once formed the Confederation OF the United
Statea.
This reasoning strengthened by other cons'ders-
ions not lees potent--the Deccrsty which Mexico has
for living on good erms with the Confederate States,
its neghbor The danger ts frontiers OF making Tor
itself formidable any enemy ts peed OF commoreai
relations with the Confederate SItes and many other
irresistible reasons upon which wo shall take more
than one oocasion " diate.'
By this arrival we have also the following letter
from "A correspondent at Vera Cruz:
