1t is said in official circles in Washington
that undue Importance is attached to the re-
port that iilibnstering expeditions are getting
ready TO invade Mexico, as our Government
will enforce the neutrality laws with regard
to that country,as well as any other with which
we are at peace. Our Minister at the City Of
Mexico has been instructed to give particular
attention to the subject of raids into Texas,
with view to their prevention. Should the
Mexican Government fail to do its duty in the
matter, the action of General Mackenzie, four
years ago, in pursuing certain marauders in
Mexico may become precedent for similar
action in the future.
