NEW York. March GA special
dispatch to the World, dated San Fran.

Mexican affairs is imminent--so near,
and approaching 50 fasts that the Uniteds

moment in behalf of. the tights and lives
OF its own citizens.
The French troops in tic Northern
and Western Mexican States have beene
driven ignominiously to the coast, and
are hemmed in iii few port. towns,
from whence they are liable to be driven
on board their vessels of war for safety.
Mazatlan is besieged, it's streets. bar
ricaded, and the Liberals, undes Corte.
mas, are pressing close upon its rear.
Fighting has occurred, in which tho
Liberals, aided by Americans who re.
Gently enlisted, had been victorious.
ihe antipathy of the French, and the
Imperial Mexicans to the Americans is
increasing. There are instances of.
Americans having been thrown cause
lessly into,prison. Threats Of the indis.
criminate slaughter of Americans are
boldly made by the Mexican and Impe.
rial authorities Of certain towns. 1t is
necessary that war vessels Should be dis,
patched by the United States to prevent;
trouble, and demand decent respect.

The SO.Called Committee on RccOnstruc.
ti0n.

In the House of Representatives on
tie 26th ult., Mr.. Rogers, of New Jer
sey. the only conservative member Of
that Jacobihical cabal styled the Com.
mittee on Reconstruction, thus spoke of
this committee:
The name of this committee ought to
be changed from the committee on re.
construction to the committee on des.
truction. 1t is source of despotism
and partakes of the character of the
English Inquisition and the Jacobin
committee Of France. II usurps the
power to regulate the affairs ofthe Union,
SITS in secret inquisition over the liberties
'of the people, issues edicts and mandates
To Congress, and with imperial dignity
orders Congress to pass laws which
would sap the life blood of the nation,
PROSTATE the Constitution, break down
the Union, and destroy the rights and
liberties of the people of America Its
conduct has been recorded for posteriLy
to Judge OF. and that judgment will con
sign its acts to oblivion and eternal
shame. 1t was established to prevent
the Southern States from having repre.
sentation in the Union, to reduce them
to conquered provinces, and to blot from
the flag OF our country eleven of
its stars, and to allow none to even
come by act Of Congress until it
wonld ratify these abomlnable and des.
potic amendments to the Constitution.
This is wicked, pcslilcnt. and odous
despotism. / say that the liberties of
France were no more invaded when
Napoleon sought to regulate the destin
les of France. The bloody acts of Nero
and Caligula were not conceived in a
more determined hatred of law, liberty
and order than are the results of the ac.
tion of this committee. do. not believe
they intend to do wrong, but they are
mad and know not what they do. They
are like John Brown. who believed he
was doing Gods will in the murders at
Harper's Ferry. know they would
not do an intentional wrong, but fanati.
cism has made them delirious in their
vengeance upon the South. Do not IN.
angurate this spirit of despotism within
the portals of this Capitol dedicated to
the immortal Washington.
x Il
In regard to this committee, I say
that more fatal and bloody tyranny
did mot insult humanity when Louis
XIV. proclaimed his edicts than ,hro'
the operation Of that committee is stalk.
ing forth over this country. The En-.
peror Tiberius harbored no more ven.
geance toward the Roman people than
do the radical portion of this committee
toward the liberty and rights of the peo.
pie of America. When Charles T. sent
his file of soldiers to the British Parlia-
ment to arrest members of that body,
he did not defle liberty more than is
proposed to be done by these constitu.
tional amendments in sweeping away
the civil, religious, and political rights
of the people of the States.
