The notes of war preparation bogin to ring upon the ear as the cloud gathers, but we perceive no misgiving in consequence; all are sanguine, and unless there be trea- on among those im bigh aud responsible places, who twine the threads of destiny, the young warrior Presi- dent will receive a lesson from the “heroics? whiob, perhaps, ho needs te temper his steel and his confidoace. From official sources and private letters, we learn that on the 234 of January Cobos was defeated by the consti- tutional forces at Villa Juarez, under the command ef General Porfirio Diaz, with the loss of two pieces of artil- lery and many killed and wounded, The Governor of Oajaca, on receiving intelligence of this loss, put himself at the head of 800 men, or more, amd met the brigade of the Sierra, under the command of Colonel Salinas, and was regularly whipped, leaving on the flold with his antagoniate six pieces of ordnance, baggage trains, camp equipage, munitions, &¢., and many said to be killed. ‘We wish to learn something more of these two engage- ments before we believe the statement, as it is prepared for our nerves.

PROTEST OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE MON-ALMONTE TREATY WITH SPAIN. E ‘the direction to be given her affaira, an act, offensive to- her dignity and injurious to ber interests, has shown how far the enemies of liberty can go to do her an injury. The party founding its title of power on the defection of a portion of our armed forces has established itself in the city of Mexico, styling itself Government of the Re- public, notwithstanding we have refysed to acknowledge jt during a struggle of more than two years, and has con- cluded, at Paris, with the representatives of her Catholic Majesty, in September of the past year, a treaty unjust in every respect, foreign to the of nations by the principles which it establishes, unlawful in the manner in which it has been sottled, and contrary to the rights of our own nation. ‘These sentiments are not born of party spirit, nor of the passions it often engendors; nor is it the result of fl feelings towards the Spanish nation. In the noble mission of legal government, im the noble interests that it, no other eg . mien reterielngaae ‘he rel Sa ponding eaggeats are sufficient to prove the good faith of this government im this particular,as also the obligation it is under of noticing the same, for fear silence in so grave a matter should be construed into mational acquiescence. ‘The entered into by the representative of also of thoee engaged in the no Jess to be that took place in 1856 in San Dimas, in the State of Du- rapgo. According to the second and third articles, although the Mexican government is convinced that neither the authori- tues nor any one employed them are for the crimes referred to, it consents to indemnify the Spaniards for any damages that may have becn by such criminal acts. The Spanish government consents (article fourth) to the understanding that these indemnities shall not serve as a basis or precedent for others of like nature. France and England will determine (article fifth) the amount of the indemnity granted. By article sinth tho treaty of 12th November, 1853, is re-eetsblisbed ip all its force and vigor, without makin, the least mention, even incidentally, of the revision debts that are not ib. The injuries and damages (article 7th claims shall be regulated by agreement ‘the ratifications of this treaty shall take place at Paris (article 8th) within four mouths from tho date at which it wae signed. It ie evicent that this agreement is br to our country. How, and in virtue of whet right, can we con- sent to these stipulated indemuities, when, at the same Ume, the government of Don Miguel Miramon declares that it is convinced that the agents of public power were not in the lesst culpadie? In what can we found this consent? If peeuniary responsibility for injuries done vy crimes committed im the ordinary course of things was alew of natiens, the Spanish government would never have coneepted that the concession made by the Mexican government in thie cage ehould not serve as a precedent lor future ones. Thus, its agreement to this understand. tng is a proof that the spanish government was convinced of the injustice of its demand. It could not be other wise, for the representative of her Catholic Majesty could not bave been ignorant of the fact that te obligation a govern- ‘Ment is uncer, in case crimes are Committed in the ordina- ry course of events directly injurious to strangers, is to poréue od puvich those Who are guilty of ‘them according to the laws of tbe couatry, and not to grant pe- cunisry indemnity for those injuries; and it is certainly strange that tha person who figured as represectative of the supposed Mexican government should bave ad mitted, on the part of bis country, contrary to all reason and con- trary to all rigbt, cblalions which the party itself that claimed them did not hesitate to declare were withousany founoation whatever—obligations which, if they bad ex- ited, Would bave been suflivient to reduce toa noliity the uatioual indepencence. To satisfy yourselves that this Iset statement is exact in every reepect, it is only neces- for paring, rT, an sary to consider the impossibility of any government, whatever its means to prevent the ordinary acts of crime: and tbat if we were to allow indemnity to subjects of na- tions friendly to us for injuries that may be done to them, W would ruin her treasury and absorb all her means of Bubsistence. . How is it that this party, which takes upon iisoif to throw up to us infldelity to our country has so humbled itgelf 8s to consent to tho above act without the least ex: cure. Nations can only accede to just claims; otherwiso, every time their hopor is brought in question they are ex: Re wo the contempt and demands of the rest of tho world. \cuiber is it decorous for @ nation to permit ber debts to de falsifixd on the plea of faith to treaties, nor to trailic to her prejudice-with creditors who cangot be legally pro- tectet by there treaties. Why will not tho Cabinet of Macria consent to the revision of these debte, when her g00d name requires it and the interest itself of the Span feh creditors Legally cemands it? It ia the duty at least of the lawful government to op Powe itself to these abuses, submitted to by an interested party without copect nce, and which in no cage are sanc horcd by the jaw of nations. Nations are only responsi. Ble where they absolutely refuse justice. If Mexioo docs Lot find hereeif in this eiiuation there was no right to sab Ject ber to conditions that rendered her despicable ia the the eyes of the civilized world, Independence, honor, ocd Dame and the great interests of a people should not de mere iltueions for Mexicans, but a reality for all, at bome and abroad, Hapyiiy the treaty in queetion does not prejudice the in tercete of the republic nor i:jured its good name, becan‘e it has been gotten up and ratified by’ persons not author zed to treat in the name of Mexico, A politcal party whose power is derived from a re- bellion that a «reater part of the country condemu a faction that, wih armed force, is hindering, in tie con. tral cities, the free. rigut ot voting publicly; ® party that bas inaugurated its power wi'h the understanding that it would become the goverument of some department, some citce, accordixg to the agsistance the nation might give it; a party, in One, that, notwicustansing the terrible war it has eustaned and belped oa curing two years, making ‘te of overy meapa, bas not been able to acquire the surength it wished, and neither is nor ean be the govern- ment of the Mexican republic.
