She; in connection with England and France have avowed their intention fo invade Mexico, we all know for what purpose; and now: England improves the first pretext ofierecL„to demand bf us, in our conditions and apolo gies intended to humiliate ns at home, and disgrace' 'ns in the opinion uf man kind abroad. Judging-by what has taken place in nine months, itTs impossible to form any conception of. the degradation to which we may be reduced, should this infernal parricidal rebellion continue but for a single year. S&“ Russell, in a recent letter to tile London Times, speaking of Mason and Slidell, says that “if they are surrendered, this Government is broken up,” —that “there is so orach violence of spirit among the lower orders of the people, and they are so ignorant of ev erything except their own politics and passions, so saturated with pride and •vanity, that any honorable concession, even this hour of extremity, would prove fatal to its authors.” W e wonder if this is the reason why the Englkh Government is so insolent in her demands for apologies as well as prisoners 2 Well, Mr, Russell, the pris* oners have been given up and still the government survives.
