Europenn InterventIon In NTexIco,

The London Globe (organ Of Lord Pal
merston) says;
England and France are both largely in
terested in the welfare of Mexico. There
are debts to be paid, there are lives to be
saved. England has q larger amount of
capital employed in Mexico than France, but
the subjects of the French Empire there are
more numerous" Nor are Spain and the
United States uninterested. The lives and
properties of their subjects are also in immi-
nent peril day by day. England has right
to enter and seize the custom-houses, and
appropriate the revenues for the payment of
debt. No one can question for one moment
the right Of Intervention. No one can doubt
that the subject has occupied the anxious at
tention of France and England, of Spain,
and even Of the Government OF the United
States.
But it is easier to note the peril than to
devise the remedy. Intervention is easy. No
large force would be required to bring the
country to its senses. But no Government
would enter on such a course without ample
deliberation and a careful forecast of the
consequences. 1t is impossible to doubt that
England and France alone, with a small
force, could walk into the City of Mexico
whenever they pleased but, if needed,
Spain could supply all the cavalry that such
an expedition would require. There would
be no difficulties in doing the business thor
oughly, so far as the mere occupation of the
country and Capital were concerned. The
| difficulties would arise afterward. They are
| great but not insuperable. Any interven-
ton of the kind we have indicated, when
| ever resolved on, whenever executed, could
not fail to succeed as a mere measure of
military police, called for by the outrages
on common humanity in Mexico. That
such an intervention is extremely probable,
and indeed only question of time, is what
all feel who have considered the subject.
But it is clearly one that can not be un-
dertaken without very careful preparation,
without clearly defined objects, and due
| subordination of the means to the end. All
the parties concerned are interested in OBJ
tanning is a recognition and liquidation OF
money obligations, guarantees for the Sc
curity of life and property, and the ex-
emplary punishment OF those who have
committed atrocious crimes on the persons
of Europeans. The question is, how can
these objects be accomplished with the leas
loss of life and the least cost That an at
tempt must be made, sooner or later, to &C
complish them, we are not able to doubt, al.
though it is not 30 easy to see the precise
means which may be adopted for reaching
the ends in view. The condition of Mexico
is worldwide scandal and a reproach tC
civilization, and cries aloud for amendment
THE MOVEMENTS OF SPAIN.
The statements respecting the expedition
against Mexico are authentic and positive
says the Madrid Correspondence. Spain
without any project Of annexation OF
conquest, will proceed on her own prop
er resolve against Mexico, in virtue o
the right she possesses to demand sat
isfacton for old offenses and injuries
