Our RELATIONS !WITH MExIco.-h is
believed by many, says. the American, that
the revolution now going on in Mexico was
instigated by British influence, and that the
object of the whole movements toaplace
in power a party inimical to the United
States. The purchase of California by our
Government most probably was contem-
plated when Mr.. Slidell went on his mis-
sion, and a knowledge of this could no
fail to set British interest at work to defeat
his consmmation Of such purpose. Mex
leo is largely indebted to British subjects
to whom the transfer of large portion ol
her territory to the United States would no
be likely to prove agreeable. Besides Il
would be desirable to the British Govern
ment to have California.


These views, suppositions and inferences
are freely urged as explanatory of the posi-
ton which Mexico, it would seem, is about
to assume towards the United States.
