MEXICO AID TN yxpxlAI uxlox.

The latest advices from tho city Of
Mexico, are TO the It'll Nay.
The Trait d Union, one Of the leading
journals Of tho country. and . strong
representative Of the Libcsal Party and
tho foreign influence, in noticing Mr..
Corwin's arrival, says:
In what capacity does this reprcsen.
tative, appointed by Mr.. Lincoln. come
here Evidently in the capacity Of Min
lister Of the United States, that is to say,
Of the Confcderacy, such M it was before
the separation Of the States Of the South
Can he, ought he to be received in that
capacity That is the first question to
be solved,
We must be very careful on us
point. The first step on such grounds
may be very dangerous. Mr.. Corwin
would not bc simply recognized as the
representative Of only the States Of the
North and the Mexican Government
cannot recognize him As representing the
States Of tn" South
II Mr.. Lincoln's envoy limits his pre-
teptions 40 as to be only the representa-.
tive Of the North, he strikes blow at the
dignity Of his own Government. and. ad-
mits thereby that tho Administration
whose commission he holds is making at
this moment an unjust and unlawful war
on the Southland that it is not possible
for him 10 do
"If Mexico should receive him ~ rep
rcscnting at once the State Of the North
and Of the South, it would thereby dis
credit the legitimate authority Of the
Confederate States and Of the Govern
ment at Montgomery-and this is not
more possible for them.
Mr.. Corwin comes, as is said, to con
Glide treaty That question may be
handled later The only question for the
present il. that of his reception, and
frankly, the case seems to US very en-
barrassing one. Perhaps it will be- sub.
mittcd to Congress We will see how
they will get out Of it.
II must not be forgotten that the
Republican party the same which MIR,
Corwin represents refused 10 ratiiy the
treaty Of McLanc, which was 50 favora-
BILE at the time 20 the Liberal cause, on
the main ground that the treaty had
been iDsdc by o government whose an.
lhori'y did not extend over the whole
nation. This argument may now be
returned against the Republicans for
the authority Of Mr.. Lincoln is certainly
very far from reaching over the whole o.
the country which once formed the con
federation OF the United States

In regard to the necessities of an i'm
mediate further supply Of cotton for the
English markell the Liverpool Post says
The stock Of American cotton in Law
erpool on Monday last was estimated at
$50 900 bales, and the quantity OF cot
ton at sea from America 266, 900 bales.
Thi. wouid give an available supply
here and on the way Of l,0s6.o0o bales
Of American cotton The purchases oil
the trade in this maket so far this year
have been fully 100, 900 bales below the
same period last year, so that spinners
generally can hold no great amount OF
stock. Supposing, therefore, thas Tor 'he
seventeen weeks they take low est''
mate of their consumption OF American
viz. 10000 bales per week, and cx.
portcrs 1000 bales per weck-soo, ooo
bales would have to be taken out OF this
market by the LIST Of September, ana
thus reduce the stock on that day to $50.
600 bales of American cotton, provided
the blockade Of the Southern ports should
be sufficiently effective ~ to prevent any
further shipments thence to this country
Whether this be 40 or not, tho prospects
ARC by no means encouraging and II is
10 be hoped that such supply Of cotton
from India and other sources, Will be
forthcoming az may mitigate, TO some
extcpt tho evils Of cotton famine, with
which va are now threatened by the I'M
fortunate political state Of America
The present excited state OF the cotton
market need not. therefore, be matter
Of surprise. for the whole amount OF
American cotton IN this port, and known
10 DO on ito way here, is only equal tf
twentythrce wceks' supply at the prcs
ent equircmsnts Of consumption and eS
mort. whilst the quantity Of East lnd'ar
cotton is only 1000 bales. against 95,

HNoLAuD AND rHK COTTON PRODUCT.

A Southern planter. recently arrived
from Europe, = man Of standing and Of
extensive information, says. - per let
ter inst received from = friend in New
York
"Mr. - says that England will not
lend the South dollar, and France can.
not if she could lie says we have no
idea Of the energy with which England is
prosecuting the cultivation Of cotton in
India and Australia In India, twenty
six millions of acres are under cultivation
for this purpose. As a planter, he felt
interested in investigating the subject.
He says that in much less than ten years
she will need no cotton from America
Why will not the South see this 2"
We find the above taking the round Of
the press. 1t has, pvima face, no charac
ter whatever, for il is thing Just AS
easily manufactured in sensation news
paper Office as any other lie. 1t is very
wonderful that Mr., - should be so
familiar with all England as to know
that she won't lend the South dollar
Mr. - knows also that twenty-six
millions of acres are under cultivation
for the growth OF cotton in India alone.
Astonishing that we have not received
assurances Of this fact before, and that
Mr.. -- is the first man TO get the asrs.
And then Mr.. - says that in ten years
England viii need no cotton from Ameri-
co, and pa,hetically exclaims, why will
not the the South see this :" The ques-
ton with which the extract closes proves
its bogus character. for the true form Of
the in,erroga,ory put by Southern
planter would be, why will not the
Nmh see his ~ If England shall OBJ.
tain all her cotton from India and Aus.
'ralia. and in quality and price these
British dependencies shall compete with
and exclude the Southern States, it is
the North that will suffer ten fold more
than the South. The South understands
all this, and cannot be humbugged by
such ,rumpcry AS that set out by Mr.
-. Granted that the North understands
its interests, is it not reasonable To sup.
pose that the South understands also lis
ewni
But what is the argument implied
above? England will obtain all her cot
ton from India and Australia in ten years.
Why will not the South sec this, and
mcckly submit to that political inequality
which is prepared for her. BY sub
mission to an inferior position in the
Union, and conscnting to sectional IN.
