frit History of Foreign Intervention In
tbtt Voitaty.
BY HON. HENRY J. RAYMOND.
The project Intervention in Mexico first
took diplomatic form on the 3 1st of October,
If 61, when the Convention between England,
France, and Spain was signed in London. The
Btenaible reason for the intervention thus
greed upon was the decree of the Government
of Mexico of July 17, 1801, by which Mexioo
iuspended payment of her foreign debt. But
to understand both these events we must go
back in the history of Mexico, and ascertain
her political condition at the time.
On the 12th of January, 18.r)7, a Constitution
was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of
Mexico, in which every State was represented.
In this Constitution (Article 41) it was de
clared to bo "the will of the Mexican people to
constitute themselves a representative, demo
cratic, federal repnblto, composed of States
free and sovereign in all that concerns their
interior regimen, but united in a federation
established according to the principles of this
fundamental law." This Constitution, on
being submitted to the people, was ratified
and adopted by the popular vote in every
State. The adoption ol this Constitution was
the result of a severe and protracted struggle
against the system of pronunciamiontos by
which Mexico had been governed for forty
years, and was hailed everywhere as the be
ginning of a new and a butter era. Iu accord
ance with Article 75 of the Constitution, tiene
ral Comonfort was elected l'resident of the
republic, and December 1, 1857, took the oath
of office; and by Article 71) it was declared that
in case of vacancy in the office of l'resident,
the Chief Justice should be acting President
until a successor had been chosen.
Two laws were passed of great importance,
both in themselves and by reason of their
bearing on future events (1) one bringing
mortmain property held by the Church into
circulation, indemnity according to the annual
value of the property being made in every
case; and (2) the second subjecting to the
laws those of the clergy and army who had
been previously exempt and responsible only
to special courts called fucros, which were
abolished.
The clergy and army, thus deprived of their
special privileges, conspired against the new
order of things, and under their influence
Comonfort, the l'resident, December 17, 1857,
only sixteen days after taking the oath, in
connection with General Zuloaga, overthrew
the Constitution he had sworn to support, and
declared in favor of a reactionary plan drawn
up by himself and his agents, and known as
the plan of Tacubaya. lie arrested Juarez,
Chief Justice, and threw him into prison, but
being satisfied that he was in this the tool of
others, released him on the 11th of January,
1858, whereupon Juarez immediately repaired
to Guanajuato, and on the 19th issued an ad
dress, declaring the treason of Comonfort and
taking possession of the vacant Presidency in
accordance with the Constitution. Comonfort
virtually abandoned the Presidency, and ac
knowledged the justice of his own deposition,
by ceasing to sign as such; but only as Gene
ral. A Government was organized and held
its sittings at Guanajuato. On the 22d, three
days after the regular Government began
operations at Guanajuato, the insurgents
under Zuloaga took possession of the vacant
capital. Another contest followed. The in
surrection was, however, confined to the cities
of Mexico, Queretaro, and Pnebla all the
rest of the republic, eighteen States in full and
others in part adhering to the Constitution of
1857 and the Government of Juarez established
tinder it.
It is not neceEBary to follow the history of
this contest farther. At the very outset, on
the 23d of January, representatives of France
and England, the former M. de Gabriac, and
the latter a chargG d'affaires, Mr. Lettson,
recognized the insurrection, which bad been
for the moment, owing to the treason of
Comonfort, triumphant in the capital; but
this recognition gave no rightful authority to
that insurrection, nor did it affect the supreme
authority of the Constitution of 1857, any
more than the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy at any time by foreign Ministers
would have overthrown the Constitution of the
United States.
But the conspirators had for the moment
possession of power, and they proceeded to
undo the work of the Constitution. First, by
decree, dated January 28, 1858, they abolished
the law respecting the alienation of ecclesias
tical property, and then re-established the
fuerot or privileged tribunals for the clergy
and army. The people rose in arms, the
contest raged, and the reactionists resorted to
taxes to supply themselves with funds. 'By
decree of May 15, 1858, they imposed a tax of
one per cent, on all capital employed in any
industry whatever over $5000. This aroused
. universal execration, and was protested
against by John Forsyth, United States Minis
ter. May 2a, and soon alter by mercuants,
traders, and everybody else, including the
Ministers of England and France. But the
necessities of the Treasury were inexorable.
In February. 1859, personal properties of
$1000 were inoluded in these exactions. By
decree, May 30, 1859, household property was
taxed ten per cent.; and by anotner decree,
July 19, 1659, by the Peza law, all these taxes
were made payable a year an advance. And,
finally, Miramon, who, by a new insurrection
in the bosom of the Union party, had been,
December 25. 1858. nut at the head of the
Tacubaya Government, issued a decree dated
marcn u, by which fresh taxes were
imposed, which raised the rate to four times
the amount they had been three years before.
And these exactions fell upon foreigners with-
ouv uiBcriiuiuituuu. meantime the war was
waged by Miramon and his troops the ott-
ecourlng or Mexico the most atrocious mas
saores were perpetrated, a hospital full of sick
and wounded being in one instance, at Tacu
baya, April 11, 1855, mercilessly slaughtered
lay Marquez, by orders of Miramon, including
Seven surgeonB in attendance, one of whom
was an Englishman, named Duval.
In its extreme distress the Government pub
lished a decree, October 29, 1859, which re
sulted in what is known as the Jecker bond
transaction, by which the Swiss banker
. Jecker, by an actual payment of less than
1 .300,000, became possessed of bonds to the
amount of 3,000,000. The Government of
France afterwards insisted that the regular
Government was bound to redeem these
bonds. The English at this point began to
doubt the propriety of their recognition ' of
the insurrectionary Government. Mr. Otway,
Enelish Minister, in a note to the Mexican
Minister of Foreign Affairs, August 4, 1859,
said "it was not sure it had done well
in giving an. uninterrupted preference
from the commencement of the troubles
to the Government of which that Minis
ter was the organ." And. December 16,
1859, he said it was difficult to say which
was the de facto Government of Mexico, for
while England and France had recognized
VrAsident who was in possession of the
ru nf Muxioo. the United States had reoog
Aa President at Vera Cruz." Finally,
while Miramon was pressing the siege of Vera
Croi. tbe English Muaister, Mr. Mathews
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY,
(Otway having ben recalled), and M. de Oab
riao, the French Minister. tnderi to the two
contending parties, April 12, 18C0, their me
diation for the conclusion of an armistice,
"during whioh they should proceed to elect a
National Assembly to decide the definite form
of government for the conntry." They in
sisted upon a preliminary declaration of civil
and religions liberty. The Miramon Govern
ment demurred to this, saying it would be a
surrender of sovereign power. Juarez objected
to the surrender of civil and religious liberty.
On the Uh of May, 18G0, M. de Gabriac,
being recalled, left Mexico for France. Mira
mon sent Zulonga (the real President of the"
insurgent forces) into the interior, and claimed
to be the substitute President. The British
Minister refused to recognize him in that ca
pacity, and as the Mexican authorities de
clined to hold intercourse with him on any
other footing, Mr. Mathews, by order of
his Government, broke off relations with the
Mexican authorities, and on the 17th Septem
ber, 18C0, withdrew to Jalapa. Relieved of
his presence, the authorities renewed their ex
actionsdemanding first of Mr. Jecker 2000,
and on his refusal to pay it, breaking
into his house and finding nothing; next levy
ing 100,000 upon twenty-six capitalists; and
finally seizing by armed force the sum of
152,000 belonging to English bondholders,
and deposited for safe keeping, until it could
be shipped to England, with the English Lega
tion, under protection of its seals. The seals
were violated, the locks broken open, and the
money taken by a band of men acting under
orders of General Marquez, the Quartermaster
General of the forces of Miramon. Against
this proceeding M. l'acheco, the Spanish Min
ister, and the Minister of Russia nrotested.
and Mr. Mathews, the British Minister, de
manded restitution and an apology; but the
authorities did not even condesoend to reply.
During all this time the war had been going
on at various points. The spirit of the people
was aroused in support of the Constitutional
Government at Guanajuato, which had never
suspended its functions, and in December,
ISO'0, the army commanded bv General Ortesa
had advanced upon Mexico, scattered th
forces of Miramon, and on the 11th of January,
1861, precisely three years after he left it.
Juarez; returned to the capital and resumed
his position there as constitutional President
of the Republic. The first act of the Govern
ment thus reinstated was to dismiss M.
Pacbeco, the Minister of Spain, together with
the Papal Nnncio and the Ministers of Guate
mala and Ecuador, on account of their com
plicity with enemies of the Republic. On the
17th of March, 1SG1, M. de Saligny, the newly
arrived French Minister, recognized the Gov
ernment of Juarez, and the Ministers of all the
other powers continued their diplomatic rela
tions with it. Fragments of Miramon's army
continued to hover around the capital, and to
harass the country as predatory bauds; but as
an army it had ceased to exist. The Mexican
Congress elected, June 27, General Ortega to
be Chief Justice intending by that act, ac
cording to Mr. Corwin (despatoh June 29,
lbfal), to make him President if Juarez could
be induced to resign.
ihe Government was ereatlv embarrassed
by the exhaustion of the war, the pressure of
loieiga uovernmems ior tneir claims, tne
entire lack of money, and the necessity for
rigorous measures of administrative reform.
A new Cabinet was formed in June, 1861, and
the Government addressed-itself to its new
task. One of its first acts was to reorganize
its financial system. By conventions of two
or three years' standing, 35 per cent, of the
revenues from French imports were appro
priated to the payment of English claims. The
expenses of collection, amounting to 30 per
cent., were paid by Mexico so that only 35
per cent, of the duties on French goods and
19 on English goods remained for the use of
the Government. Congress, therefore, on the
17th of July, 1861, passed an act "suspending
all payments for two years, including the
assignments for the loan made in London and
for foreign conventions." The obligations of
these debts were expressly acknowledged, and
a commission was authorized to make arrange
ments for their luture payment. The mea
sure was temporary and one of absolute neces
sity, if the Government of Mexico was to con
tinue its active existence.
But with this act properly commenoes the
history of foreign intervention in the affairs of
Mexico. Instantly upon its passage the
Minister of France, M. de Saligny, and the
Minister of England, C. Lennox Wyke, de
manded to know if it was authentic The
Mexican Government entered into the most
elaborate and sincere explanations of the cir
cumstances which made such a resort inevi
table, and gave the most solemn assurances of
the inviolability of the debts, and of ample
provision for their payment. But all was to
no purpose. On the 25th of July, 1861, both
these Ministers, having previously demanded
the annulment of the decree within twenty
four hours, and that demand having been re
fused, broke off all official relations between
their respective Governments and the Gov
ernment of Mexico. The Mexican Govern
ment addressed itself most anxiously to the
Governments represented by these Ministers,
but without effect. M. Thouvenel, then
French Minister for Foreign Affairs, refused
peremptorily on the 3d of September to listen
to any explanations from Mr. De la Fuente,
the Mexican Minister, and declared to him that
they fully approved the conduct of M. de
Saligny: they had issued their orders in con
cert with England, and that a squadron com
posed of vessels of both nations would exact
from the Government of Mexico due satisfac
tion; and, he added, "Your Government shall
learn from our Minister and Admiral what are
the claims of France." Previous, however, to
despatching this squadron, the London Con
vention of October 31, 1801, was concluded;
but, before giving its terms let us examine its
history.
During the fall of 18C0 and the winter of
1861, while the reactionary party in Mexico
was approaching its downfall, several of its
more prominent chiefs had repaired to Eu
rope, and were known to be in active commu
nication with tne leading powers. Humors
filled the publio prints of schemes on foot for
foreign intervention in Mexico, for establish
ing a new form of government there, and for
placing on the Mexican throne a European
prince, to be maintained by foreign authority.
Among these exiles were Almonte, Comonfort,
and others. At London, so far as appears,
they received no countenance. The English
Government had claims and reclamations upon
Mexico, but it would enforce them only by
seizing upon her seaports, and would have
nothing whatever to do with her internal
aflairs. In France these schemes were received
with more favor, and without committing
itself absolutely to their projects, the Govern
ment certainly did not repel them. But in
Spain they seem to have had still greater
success. That power, after a lone and ignoble
sleep, had been seized with a sudden revival
of her old ambition. ur aruly had met
with success in Morocco. Dominica, formerly
one of her possessions, had repudiated repub
lican institutions, and again invoked Spauish
authority. Spain had a magniiioent colony in
Cuba, a splendid port, and a superb base of
"operations; and as it became clear that the
United States, tie. pnjj power gh.e h.a4 to few,
was about to plnnge into a gigantic civil war,
dreams of future conquest in Mexioo un
doubtedly begun to seize upon the Spanish
imagination. Indeed, it is by no means diffi
cult to trace in the diplomatic correspondence
of Spain, for two or three years before this
crisis had arrived, indications of a purpose to
bring the affairs of Mexico into the open field
of European politics, for such disposition as
the powers of Europe might see fit to make of
them. And the leading actor in this whole
scheme seems to have been the Spanish Minis
ter in Paris, Mr. Mon, who, as early as Novem
ber 24, 18f)8. suggested in a despatch to
M. Walewski, then French Minister of
Foreign Affairs, the necessity of esta
blishing a firm and stable Government
in Mexico. In this, however, Mr. Mon seems
to have been acting upon his own responsi
bility, for in a despatch dated January
3, 1859, to Mr. Calderon Callantes, the Foreign
Minister of the Spanish Government, he com
plains that be is unable to impress his own
views properly upon the Spanish Government.
"The thought," he says, "that I have not
been able to make your Excellency compre
hend is to find out if it is not possible to aid in
forming a Government in Mexico, which, sup
ported at first by the three powers, might
afterwards exist without any assistance." And
he asks Mr. Callantes to inform him "what
form is best, and what means most available to
attain this end." The Spanish Secretary, in
reply, on the 10th, concedes that it is of the
"utmost importance to establish a strong and
durable Government in Mexico," and adds that
he thinks "moral suasion and diplomatic dis
cussions" will prove adequate to induce
Mexico to such a course. This was in January,
1859, a year and a half before the rupture
of France and England with Mexioo, and
shows clearly that Europeau intervention in
the internal affairs of Mexico had been a
favorite idea with Spain long before it was car
ried into execution. Nor did she stop with
the efforts referred to. Her scheme was vigo
rously pressed upon the Frenoh and English
Governments throughout the interval. On
the 16th of March, 1860, the Spanish Minister
began to urge his claims against a country
"the situation of which could not be worse."
On the 18th of April Mr. Callantes speaks still
more explicitly, and refers to the efforts pre
viously made by the Spanish Government to
enlist England and France in her favorite
project of intervention. "Your Excellenoy
knows," he says, "of the attempts made
several times by the Government of her
Majesty to join in the adoption of measures to
put an end to the anarchy now exhausting the
Mexican republic." And he then proceeds in
the following very explicit manner:
"I had a consultation some time ago on this
grave affair wilta M. Barrol, the French Ambas
sador. M. Barrot transmitted my remarks to
the Department of Foreign Aflairs of the Em
peror, and recently be reud we an extract from
one of his dtspalcb.es, which says that tbe Uov
ernmeut8 of France and England are now dis
posed to combine their efforts to establish a
Government In Mexico to be recognized by the
whole nation, and put an end to the painful
condition of that nmortunate country.
"M. Thouvenel thinks the best way would be
to piopose a constituent assembly to tlx a per
manent form of government and settle all ex
isting difficulties, whatever their nature or im
portance. 'Her Majesty's wish is that your Excellency
have an interview with M. Thouvenel to try
and contrive some way for the three powers to
intervene in tbe disorders of the Mexican re
public Her Majesty's Government thinks that
the simple news ol this resolution and the first
steps taken will be enough to encourage the
honest people of Mexico, and dispone them to
act in favor of that Government which, without
limiting the exercise of legitimate rights and
guarantees enjoyed In other civilized coun
tries, may suppress the spirit of rebellion that
has caused so much harm to tnut unhappy
country."
There is no intimation here of a purpose to
change the form of government in Mexico, but
only to make it stable. But in a despatch
dated two months later than the one just
quoted, hints are thrown out that the Mexi
can people may prefer a monarchy, and early
in September, 1861, Mr. Mon, the Spanish
Minister at Paris, who seems from the begin
ning to have been the spring and strength
of the whole project, in a despatch to his Gov
ernment, after stating the embarrassments of
the Government of the United States in conse
quence of the war then beginning, says, "The
Government ought to know that this is a good
opportunity to awaken old memeries and
place upon the throne of Mexico a Prince of
the Bourbon blood, intimately connected with
that House."
To all these suggestions it is simple justice
to say, England gave no encouragement. On
the 27th of April, 1860, in reply to the pro
posal of cooperation, Lord John Russell in
formed Mr. Isturitz, the Spanish Minister in
London, that England would not reject it if it
was understood that no force was to be used in
its execution, but he added that England
would require protection to Protestant wor
ship, to which Mr. Isturitz rejoined that in
this she could not have the cooperation of
Spain. M. Thouvenel also, on behalf of the
French Government, on the 18th of May,
1860, disclaimed all ideas of using coercion
against Mexico, whereupon the Spanish
Government hurried her military pre
parations, despatched a fleet with troops
to Cuba and sent secret instructions to the
Captain-General of that Island. On the 6th of
September, 1861, the Spanish Government in
structs its Minister in Paris to inform the
French Government that a Spanish expedition
is on the eve of departure for Mexico. The
matter of a joint expedition has been in pro
cess of discussion, aud on the 11th of October,
1861, M. Thouvenel writes to the French
Minister in London, Count de Flahaut, saying
that he agrees with the English Government
that their coercion of Mexico "shouki be
caused by their complaints against that Gov
ernment,;' and that "the prevention of their
repetition was the only ostensible excuse for
a Convention;" and he adds:
"But it f eems to me useless to object to legal
participation in tbe events caused by our ope
rations. It is lawful to suppose that If the re
sult of the American crisis should be a separa
tion of the North and Houlh, tbe two new
confederations would seen competition on
Mexican territory oflVred by anarchy to their
rivalry. England would not remain ludiilorent
to such an eveut; aud the only thing, lu my
opinion, that could prevent it, would be the
establishment of a new Government lu Mexico
long enough to prevent its internal derange
ment. As to the form of government, any
that would olier proper giiuruuiees would suit
us; and I believe Kuglaud has no preiereuoe,
and has coma to no conclusion, lint If the
Mexicans themselves, weary of their former
mlHerable Governments, should return to the
iiiBtlucts of their race, and form a monarchy,
1 think we ought to aid tnein, yet leave them
free to select whatever form of government
they may think most conducive to their hap
piness. Continuing these ideas lu the form r
a confidential conversation, I added that, Jo
case of such an event, the Government of the
Emperor, entirely disinterested, did not pro
pone a prince of the Imperial family, but, w 11
lng to satisfy all parlies, would be pleased to
see tbe Mexicans select a Prince of ttue House
of Austria. " i
All this is a report of what was Baid In con
versation with Lord Cowley, the English
Minister in Paris before the Convention of
October, 1861 and in the same despatch M.
Thouvenel relates a conversation with the
Spanish Minister, Mr, Mon, to whom he said
that, in case of a monarchy in Mexico, France
would accept the Austrian Archduke. Spain,
however, as has been seen, had already pro
nounced for a Prince of tin Bourbon Hood,
Herein lies the secret of the subsennent with
drawal of Spain from the enterprise.
"uf mnaiiuine were on tneir way
to era Cruz, and the draft of a Convention
had been canvassed by the three powers, with
very different ideas and motives. (1) England
Wcnld consent to nothing beyond the satisfac
tion of their claims upon Mexico. (2) Spain
was for giving Mexico a stable government,
and in case the people should choose a
monarchy, she wanted a prince of the Bourbon
uiooa. (j) trance was for the "Bame thing,
but wanted a prince of the Home of Austria.
With these views the three powers, on the 31st
of October, 1861, feeling compelled by the
arbitrary conduct of the authorities of Mexioo
"to demand more efficacious protection for the
persons and properties of thtir subjects,
as well as a fulfilment of the obligations
contracted towards them by the Republio of
mexioo," signed me convention of London,
agreeing:
1. That the three powers would send a joint
force sufficient to seize the fortresses on th6
coast of Mexico, and that the commanders of
the allied forces should be authorized to
"execute the other operations which may be
considered on the spot most suitable to effect
the object specified in the preamble, and spe
cifically to insure the security of foreign resi
dents." 2. The parties engaged not to seek for them
selves any acquisition of territory, nor any spe
cial advantage, nor to exercise in the internal
affairs of Mexico any influence of a nature to
prejudice the right of the Mexican nation to
choose and to constitute freely the form of its
Government.
3. A Commission of three was authorized to
distribute the indemnity that might be se
cured. 4. It was agreed that the United Stafes
should be invited to join in the Convention,
but operations were not to be delayed for the
purpose of obtaining their accession.
This was the Convention of London. It
seemed to be sufficiently explicit in its terms.
and it would be difficult to find in its language
any excuse for the different interpretations
that were put npon It.
The military movements which followed its
adoption are ref-erved for another chapter of
this historical sketch.
