Thus the Mexican broth Is cooking. On the
opposite side Of tho Atlantic We find Austria,
France, England and Spain throwing all their
Influence into the government Of the United
States to urge us on to Mexico, Mr. Summer,
Chairman Of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
appears to be entirely in the hands Of the tor
eign ministers, who evidently think that great
diplomatic games are best played st good
dinners. Beauregard and his circle In New
Orleans, finding the national banks have no
more feathers to pluck, are bent on taking
possession Of Northern Mexico, while another
ring in the Same city have interests that are
seriously jeopardized upon the arrival of the
liberal government in the city Of Mexico
providing Mr.. Otterbourg, so kindly detailed
for the dirty work Of saving his own and
others interests in Mexican jobs, does not pro-
tect them by some process similar to that by
which he became the agent of the empire in
Washington last fall.
Congress, II Is quite certain, will take up
this Mexican problem so soon as they have
disposed Of the reconstruction business. They
are little inclined to see Mr.. johnson make
Mexico Ills banner cry, and thereby turn atten-
ton from the Reconstruction act. Therefore
of all the u ca. topics Mexico scarcely stands
second, and, from the gathering influences
brought to bear upon the administration, Is
daily taking larger proportions. We now see
the effects Of Mr.. Stewards Mexican policy.
Every act OF his with reference to that country
has been the prelude Of one still more stupid.
Instead OF q manly, open course, such a. be-
comes a great nation, he has wavered in his
imbecility until. entirely in the hands Of
concession jobbers, he lets them foist upon
a1 tr;a
who in no sense represents the United States,
but rather q certain circle which desires to
throw into Mexico as many elements of dscord
as can be found. Then they may raise the
| cry, Lo Mexico cannot govern herself Know
! ing that the present government will not
dispose Of territory under any eircum-
| stances, they now demand Ortega, who,
thoroughly unprincipled, would for a small
figure move into Yucatan and sell the balance
Of the Mexican States; hence we may see this
move strongly agitated from the line Of the
| Rio Grande. II would, however, result in the
shooting Of Ortega, now prisoner at Monte
reg. The great feature Of this Mexican news
Is that almost the entire rebel element in the
South, through the press and through their old
army leaders, are urging an invasion Of our
neighbours territory as the great cure for all
their political ills. Northern democrats also
are pouring In their petitions to the admins.

hope that the people will rally around IL, as
they did In the war Of ls47. Their point

liant idea, and there are many powerful &C.
cessories to aid them The policy Of France is
doubtless 10 have US take possession Of Mexico
and recognize the immense war debt that she
rolled up there. They care less for Macmillan
than they do for the payment Of the imperial
bonds Of the empire which food the French
market, and which are worthless so long as the
Mexican republic exists intact The Cabinet
are not fully agreed Is yet on an aggressive
policy. Mr.. Stanton, warm friend Of the re.
public and the liberal party is the glorious
minority; and to carry out their plans the plot
tiers must have new War Secretary. General
Grant, too, stands boldly In the way, and the
greater part Of Congress- also determined to
give Mexico chance 10 govern herself, will
make sturdy fight before they permit be'
