The Condition Of Mexico. Jfbb Intelligen...
THE CONDITION OF MEXICO . JFbb intelligence from Mexico shows the rapid progress tfthat republic towards extinction . The reactionary * government which succeeded the overthrow of Comonfort has already disappeared , and General Zuloaga , -who called himself president , has fled . The supreme authority has been seized by Don Juan Jcstf Baz , formerly ! an officer of Ctomonfort ' s . It is not known what this per-Bdaiage ' s political views are or whether he has any at all beybndthoee entertained by various successful leaders from time to time , namely , to obtain control of the public revenue , and a sufficient recognition from foreign Powers to enable him formally to negotiate the sale of
fresh portions of his country to the United States , and divide the plunder with his adherents . The absorption of Mexico into the dominions of America , though only a question of time , is accompanied with difficulties , for , although an extension of territory is always universally welcome , there is the necessity for managing it so as not to increase the bitterness between the Slave states and the Abolitionists , and hence has arisen the question as U > a protectorate or annexation . The former might , pernaps , conciliate a majority on both sides , since , unlike innexatibn , it would not directly imply an augmentation of southern power . , .- . ¦ ¦ ¦ . - -: . :.. C : ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ; '' . : : ' \ ' . ' ¦ " . '¦¦ ¦ Meanwhile , delay in arming at a settlement of the
» flairs of the state ia increasing the anarchy and misery irhich , have reduced the republic to the lowest depths . By England the , change , supposing it to be effected . by Ibe United $ tates' -with honour and discretion , can be ¦ niicipa ^ only witn MtisfacUon . There is no country &^ t jifl ^^^ o ^ linm' % ^^ : ^' it : ; ' ' -were ' 'Vin American hands , our mercantile transactions would more rapidly increase . Meanwhile , however , it is the duty of our Government not to lei these considerations induce them to look listlessly on while large indiTidual interests such as those of the bondholders aid being in any way endangered . To see without protest the country being sold bit by bit , unless
& corresponding porlipn of the debt were provided for or discharged , would be tacitly to sanction an act of spoliationm 0 re 4 nean than any in history . ; rW ^ ! r ««» rd to the policy pursued by the United State ? , it must be acknowledged that for several years that power has shown singular forbearance , which is the iiipre remarlable , looking at the provocation to attack Ihe -weak and degraded ever offer to the restless and powerful ^ and also at the limited means of repression which : the Cabinet at Washington can in such cases comaiand . : . The Americans evidently have had the sense to perceive that it was the miserable destiny of the country , as a fitting termination for her career of corruption and dishonesty , to suffer the last shame of falling to a nation -who wt > uld win her without blows .

COUNT HE PERSIGNY ON THE ENGLISH - . ¦ . ¦¦ : : .. . ;;¦; .. . AIXIANCE . - . , ' ; , . At the opening meeting on Monday of the Council General of the Loire , of which C ount de Persigny is the President , the ex-ambassador to London made a speech which , as coining : from one who is prooably higher in the confidence of the Emperor of the French tlian any one else , has great political importance . ' After some preliiiamary observations , in -which M . de Peraigny reminded ^ his audience that from his schoolboy days he had sought the nephew of the great Emperor in exile , and saluted him as the future Emperor of tbe
French , at a time when , to all appearances , tbe Napoleon tradition was buried in the tomb of the Duke de Reichstadt , he proceeded to point out the great services to Prance rendered by the Napoleonic dynasty , and defended its peculiar policy witli regard to the liberty of tlie subject . ; He then alluded to the perils which this dynasty had undergone , particularly that of political assaasination , with a view to its overthrow . He quoted historiciil instances to show how rarely the murderers of princes had succeeded in gaining . their political objects . It waa his belief that if the present Emperor were to fall by the assassin ' s poniard , the loyalty of the people to his fainily would be rather increased than shaken .
Referring to the English alliance , the Count said that public opinion in this country had been unanimous in stigmatising the crime of Orsini , and thnt he well knew the English people to be entirely ignorant as well as innocent of the doctrines and the conspiracies which w « re hatched by the refugees in this country . In illustration of the necessity of preserving peace which is forced upon the two nations by their mutual interests , ho said ;—u Such is this solidarity of interests , that if to morroAv London or Paris were burnt , wo should each suffer immense commercial losses , and while a catastrophe falling upon Berlin , Vienna , or St . Petersburg , would excite only our sentiments of ' pity , were it London we should be wounded in our interests almost as seriously as at Paris itaelf . Now , when two peoples have arrived at
this point , they are evidently destined to draw together more closely eyerry day their present union . Let us first consider the interest to France of the English alliance . With England we are masters of the seas , and consequently have nothing to fear upon our frontiers . No coalition against us is possible ; general peace is assured . Our country can give itself up to all the developments of its activity without any preoccupation , and complete the work of establishing its institutions without inour . ring apy risji . Elsewhere , we have no material rivalry With England / since she has opened to our commerce ns to her own the access to her immense colonies ; it is not her fault if , continuing our system of production at liigh prices , we do not know how to profit by it . As to England , her Interest in the French alliance is , perhaps , even more manifest . She succeeded in 1814 and 1815 in
^ conquering the maritime and colonial supremacy winch was the object of her desires , nnd to which she was in some measure destined both by her intmlar position and the genius of her inhabitants . England enjoys this Bupremaoy beyond all dispute to this tiny : and she says to herself that if she were again to have a struggle with France—supposing ( which God forbid 1 ) that the fate of battles should inflict new disasters upon us—she would gain no other result thiin the maintenance of what aim 'fias already , namely , maritime and colonfal supremacy . " The speech produced the profoundest sensation upon tfie welcot auditory to -whom it woa addressed , nnd wah followed "by unanimous and prolonged applause , and ' cries of » Vive . VEmpereurl "

(Special.) Paris, Thursday, 6jpj, The To...
( SPECIAL . ) Paris , Thursday , 6 Jpj , The topic of tlie day i * a curious discussion wiVi his arisen between the Morning Herald of London and the Press * here , nml to those who . ire behind the scenes the display of virtuous indi gnation on loth rides is extremely diverting . in ordur that yowr readers may understand the matter , and enjoy the joke , it may be as well to premise that ' the m /™ - Herald is presumed to enjoy the favour of ihJoS office in France . M . Walewski i 8 , of coUrse £ grand seigneur , since the Czar of all tl 1 & R ,, ssia ;^ graciously pleased to restore his Polisi , estatwifo ? teited for having served as Secretary to the lterrihL tionary Committee at Warsaw ^ nfont lei wfsiiuKk iiiuoiin
-on ^ ~* •> .. u > . 7 - ^ c » w —on account of thr > generous forgetfulness lie evinced to Itussia n « Foreign Minister of France , to write , or directlv in apire , those articles , disguised in homely Saxon which decorate the columns of your contem norarr Nevertheless , he is reported to condescend to allow some jfidusAcAutes of his ministerial labours to trans mit his political impressions to the journal in ques * tioh . Whetber this report be true or not I do not pretend to say . I can only bear witness to its cur rericy . The French Jpressc has the reputation of being inspired in a similar manner by the Prince Napoleon , the new Minister of Algeria and the Colonies . It is more than justice to state that there is much less apparent foundation for the last thm for the ( first report . Whatever influence theTrinee
may exercise 19 most probably unintentional , and is no move than is due to those liberal opinions -which he hn » enunciated on several occasioiis . The Prince prefers the society of men ot intellect—artists and writers- ^ to that of place-seeker 3 and ministers—hhc HUe lacyjjmas—and wlia do not always owe their lofty fortunes to intellect . Under tlie present regime , Prince Napoleon is the rallying-poi tit of the Liberal party . His ideas respecti « g political economy are known to be much larger than the notions of minis tera or of the g- ( jvernin £ clnss—the monopolist manufacturers in the Corps Logislatif . He has no horror oF a free press , and is inclined to believe it is
the safety-valve of constitutional governuioiits , while he looks oh censors « is the i > romoters of revolution . He thinks free trade a rnosisure of vusdoni , conducive to . th ' e'liappi ' ness of the largest rnunber , and a iicvei' -faiiing source of strong th and prosperity to the nation , without wishing , at -the same tiine , to establish it suddenly and without Avarning . And , lastly , he is not disposed to place iiiiplieit reliance on the fidelity of piiblic functionaries who have served half a dozen governments in turn , pledging their oatli to each when strong , and betraying each in the houi- of danger . If such are the views of the 1 ' rince , the reader will noc be astonished lo learn that his advciit to ministerial
office should be regarded -with souiething more thun dismay by the functionaries before alluded ^ to . All sorts of malicious rumours have been circulated , which , even if true , have nothing to do with public character . Openly his Imperial Highness could not be attacked , and as nothing appears in print without the permission of tlio Ministers , the columns of the French papers are of necessity closed against the bile of tlie holders of office . Accordingly , recourse was had to one of the English organs of the French
Government , not to attack llieTrinco directly-r-foreven then the arm that struck the blow would be too easily recognised—but what is presunied to be the representative of the Prince ' s views in the French press . The English alliance is popular with the intelligent section of the French community . It ; wa ? t therefore , thought a piece of refined policy , a diplomatic achievement worthy of Machiavelli , to trumpet forth that tlve Prince Napoleon ' s journal was inimical to the EnuliBh alliance , and by inference ,
that the Priuco himself was a rank Anglopuobisr , capable of carrying out Prince dc Joinville ' s scheme for invading England by night . As before mentionel , what influence may he exorcised upon tlie Presee I do not pretend to know , but these two tiling are not to be forgotten , not at least by Englishmen . Throughout the ltussian war the / Vewe was , jvitn » 'e Journal des Debats and the Steel * the steadfast partisan of tlio English alliance , the ungrudg ing commentator of the valiant deeds of English soldwrs « iw snilors , and that while the French friends ot tno Morning Herald , both in the public journals taw » l the Ministry , were endeavouring to depreciate JMjfe-ImiuI And tn « v » lfc iliH trUirv and ironcrositj' ( ot wnii "
