Unanimity OF Mexican Feeling against
Foreign IntervcntiOn-The Moral.


This Mexican affair threatens to degenerate into sad

injured by tho Mexican contempt for Justice agreed TO
seize the Mexican ports and obtain from tho local 60

their repetition. II the Mexican government yielded.
the expedition would terminate in the appointment Of
commissioners TO collect the customs due at the ports.

The intelligence just received TO indicate that
SPAIN in her hasty thirst for aggrandizsmen has not
