eight millions, and the weak and windy character OF
this financial enterprise generally, as seen from
Mexican point OF view, need not be dwelt upon.
Should Mr. Daniel WOOdhouse, OF happy memory, pc
concerned in the movement 1t is TO be hoped that he
will be induced to step out OF 1T for there is not
the smallest probability that war VIII result
therefrom, that Mexico will be annexed or,
in any event, much wind be raised or many
cents paid on the dollar with respect to German
claims and other like fancies in the rOOrback inter

inspires the enemies of Mexico, is probable and 1T
may have more less TO do with the movements
which are constantly attributed to that vain old
knave Santa Anna Some journals of tolerable name

Herald of NewYork is here believed to be the organ,

Government paper is moved to resent the swarm OF

Thus the penalty which MeXieG suffers a st Tor ha

Government forces have obtained advant-
ages, and promise to gain more; but the
case is still exasperating. All the ferment
that exists in Mexico at the present day may be ana
nOunced idleness the whole operating IN effect as
pronounced robbery. For want of freed, stimulated
industries, railroads machines, and the like, the
country must pay taxes 10 the hlghWaymen. Ihe

correspondence with Gen. Carbajal, and here, per
swelling effort which some disappointed and unscru-
pulous spectators are making to frighten the Gov
eTnment of Mexico INTO recognition OF their claims.
What Carbajal and Benavides can have to do with
this affair is hard 10 conceive; Benavides did
good work for the Liberals during the war. The
worst known of Carbajal is that he came
near being dsastrOusly swIndled by a New-YOrk
sharper. 1t does not appear plausible, therefore,
that he should engage IN any military enterprise the
tendency of which wOud be to verify such claims as
those made out by the magnificent Mr.. WOodhOuse
That Carbajal aud Benavides should league with
Santa Anna and the Yankees TO upset their country
seems little prepOsterOus. About QuirOga none are
so particular. Upon the whole, the filibuster expe

with old and secondhand claims, poorly reftted and
badly cooked. venture to believe that the flibus-

As for the present situation of the country to speak
finally, it exhibits serious question Of police and

The affair at Mazatlan pOrtends nothing new thus
far. The GlObO thinks that Gen. Corona ought TO
have settled with the British captain amicably; and
this view appears TO be sensible enough For a sum
of $500 il is not worth gong TO the expense of many
thousands, unless radical principle of dignity
be involved. That any grave trouble is in prospect
growing out of this affair, none believe; but it would
be pity if in respect TO Great Britain il continued
nOn-intercouse policy. The full particulars of the
MazatlaO affair have NOT vet come IN hand how
