thought the time appropriate for announcing
that In future persons found in arms, pretend
Ing to be soldiers, will bc dealt NTH by his
officers IS robbers and pirates. Il Is true
that since he Issued That notification. one

taken by the Republican foTusi and that the

johnson has chosen for sending Gen. Logan
as Minister, and With him hi own priynte
Secretary, to represent him ut the anbutatory
md almost fugitive court OF President ,Juarrz.
HIS appointment will couil1m many In their
opinion OF the invetcrate ecccntricity Of lie
Amefican character, and Of the impossibtli.y
Of accounting upon my rational principles Of
the nets Of the people and Government Of that
country. Most persons Will aerce, however
that when the Americans deviate most Irnm
common ways there is method IN their mad
nees.
We can not perceive, however, that this
inst aet OF the american Government involves
any departure from the principles whic, L
has publicly declared, or the policy It has
notoriously followed for the last.three years.
President johnson sees nothing In Mex1co Int
q state Of war between the. Representatives Of
the nation and the French and other Invaders.
