Of their new country, for their personal interest


and that Of their families thrive in il. This will
happen more frequently now that Mexico is nyad-


ed by the United States, and is in open war with
| their government.


Hence il follows that Mexico will have to con-


tend not only with the native Angl American pop
| uatlon, but with the adopted citizens, or what Is


the same thing, with part of the population Of Eu-
rope; aud proof of this has been furnished US in


tho sort of people who compose General Taylor's


army, the greater part of them being Europeans !
We believe that, generally speaking, the sympa-


lhies of the people of Europe not in our favor
but in favor of the United States, even although
they are aware Of the injustice of the latter in


usurping our territory, for there times when pub
lie opinion cares little about the means by which u
thing is done, or project executed and looks only
at the results whcffspring from II.


Mexico not only lacks the sympathies of Europe,
but is almost hated and this results from various
causes and circumstances IN which we ourselves
have had no small share; and however grievous the


confession may be to US, 1t Ii necessary TO make it.
Almost all the publications Of the European press
indicate the i'll will which exists towards US, and
the works written by travellers who have visited US,
with very few exceptions, have contributed to in
ease this tendency against And if it be GER


tain that no people hate another without sufficient


cause motive, IL is necessary for inquire into


the ofthlsi i'll disposition, since it must exist IL


cannot be found in a rivalry Of power in war, com


merce, or industry, because we have been in


position sufficiently advantageous TO provoke the eal


ousy of other nations We must them seek elsewhere
for the cause In our opinion il is the restrictive


system which we have practiced, since iDoepen-
denoe, against foreign commerce, against emgrans,


and against the establishment Of foreigners in our
country.


When the people of Europe perceive that we inn
pose trammels and restrictions the entrance Of
foreigners; that we do not permit them to acquire


landed property that do not wish to tolerate the


exercise of their mode Of worship; that shut the


door their acquisition Of the rights of citizenship;


that prohibit the introduction Of their manufac-


lures, &c, &c, It is impossible that they should


take the slightest interest in fate, for, after all,
national independence the integrity OF ter


ritory, does not benefit them in any And when


they that the United States adopa policy entirely


different, that they seek their interest in combina-


ton with the interests of other nations il natural


that all their sympathles should be directed to that
| country, which has better comprehended the oh.


ects of fraternity among all the nations Of the earth.


Under these circumstances, they perhaps even de-


sire that the United States should occupy Mexico,


for they consider that in that event, lands will


be open only to the citizens of the United States


but also TO those Of all other nations; that all the
| riches Of soil will be explored, and humanity


and civilization will thus gain more than by the pos
| session of these resources by the Mexicans.
II is necessary, therefore, If we desire that the


people of Europe should feel any sympathy for us,
| and take any interest in fate, that we should en-


deavor wholly TO reform ourselves for the fault has


been great; and we can accomplish it only by COM


Pletely changing our policy, and adopting another,


more frank and liberal than heretofore.


The governments of Europe will entertain sym


pathies in favor of Mexico, for II does not comport
with their interests that the United States should be


aggrandzed. They know that the experiment


which that nation has made of democratic fedora
tive republic has great attractions for the people
whom they govern, on account Of its happy results;
and that if 1t should extend through North America
II will pass to South America, and, in course Of
time, even to the continent of Europe, and realize


perhaps, the idea of Chatea BRAND, that republic


will be the future condition of the world; that then


thrones would totter under the impulses of democra
cy, and dynasties would be extinguished by the
abolition Of the principle Of inheritance Of power.


Kings perceive, moreover, that the forms of govern


ment and social organization Of the United States


are drawing away the population of Europe; that
the emigration from Europe increases every day.


that the debility caused by depopuation may reach


fearful point; and that, in fne the Anglo-American


nation will cothe and deck herself with the spoils Of


Europe, as has heretofore been the case.
1t is natural, therefore, that the sympathes OF
kings should be in favor Of any enemy of the Uni-


ted States, whether Mexico or any other Spanish


American nation; for, in fact, 1t is no more than


having sympathies in favor of their own interest,
and of their own self.preservaon and existence in
times to come.


Mexico ought promptly to avail herself of this
disposition and reserve herself to cultivate the SYM
pathles Of the people afterwards but it behooves


her to proceed with circumspecton, and not seek
| sisance on onerous conditions.
Nevertheless, we do not calculate in any case
upon being protected by force Of arms; for the
| mercial interests of Europe with the United States


are of too much importance to be sacrificed by kings
IN war, when they could hardly expect to be COM
| pensated by any concessions from Mexico on the
| re-establlshment of peace; and consequently we
ought not to expect anything more than the aid of
| diplomacy, which, however, is much for although
physical force does not make part OF, moral force
does and that, in these enlightened times, has be-
come powerful


We have seen, in the discussions in the French
| Chambers, the difference between the opinions OF
| the governments and people of Europe. Guizot,
| man of the government, and representing the sent
| ments of the king, used emphatic and almost threat
ening expressions against the propagandsm of the
United States with respect to Mexico, and declared


that the interests Of France required the preservation
| of the American equilibrium. Theirs, an opposl-


ton man, representing popular opinions, addresses
| words OF praise and sympathy to the Ango-AmerI-
can nation; declares that the American equilibrium
is impractcabe, and that France has interest in
preserving the friendship Of the United States and
| in her always increasing prosperity The opinions
| of these two statesmen should not be considered
simply the opinions of two individuals, but the
opinions of two great POLITICAL functonaries, or,


even more, as the opinions of the king and the
people.
