From the last advices, received by Pensacola
from Vera Cruz, it would seem likely that Mexico
will have more than one quarrel on hand at a time
to settle. The proceedings o. the French minis
ter, in demanding his passports, evinces u deter
mination the part of his government to proceed
TO extremities- France now has heavy claims for
indemnity to her citizens robbed and maltreated by
the Mexican authorities After the bombardment
and capture of San Juan d'Ulloa, several years
ago, there was settlement for the injuries and
sPoliations committed to that date. But since the
last treaty on this subject, negotiated under the
mediation of Great Britain, Mexico has run up
new score that throws her heavily in debt to a
rigorous creditor. The fact is, that the Mexicans
greatly irritatcd, and felt under the rough
treatment they received at the hands of France.
They were chagrned ut the idea of being forced TO
pay Just debt under the batteries Of an armed
squadron. Hence they have ever since entertained
a secret animosity against the French, and when
ever opportunity was presented this spite sure
to be manifested In conseque nee, Frenchmen
living within the Mexican territories, are subject
ed frequent exactions and indignlties. fragrant
instances related OF the rapine, violence and
insolence offered 10 their property and persons. II
our recollection serves arghi, several French
men have ben, within the last year, publicly shot
and executed under some false pretext other,
and no satisfaction has yet been made for their
murder. In this way has a cowardly anlmosity
WI eaked its vengeance on a few isolated and
helpless individuals. AT last the popular fury did
not spare even the French Minister, the represen-
tative of his Governments dignity, whose person,
by the law OF nations, is ever held sacred lie was
set upon in the public streets by an enraged mob,
and after suffering the marks of violence his
person, and the grosest indignties, narrowly
escaped his life 1t is the refusal Of the Mexican
authorities der satisfaction for III last and
highest affront, that has provoked France to
sumo menacing attitude. No doubt there is
something serious in the movement. Mexico will
not be let off till the uttermost farthing is paid
Between France and the United States, Mexico
will find herself pressed by creditors, armed with
power on their side as well as justice.
