The Daily Dispatch: February 13, 1862., [Electronic resource], The invasion of Mexico. (search)
ermanent and regular Government is established there with the free consent of the population. It is announced by a semi-official organ that France will send to Mexico a body of troops equal to that which was dispatched some time since to Syria. In fact, a regular campaign is proposed, if that name can be given to an advance against troops who will, no doubt, fly at the first approach of the invaders, and content themselves with pillaging and murdering their own unhappy citizens. In the agreement between the Spanish Admiral and the French Captain of the Foudre, it was stipulated that, "even after taking possession of Vera Cruz in the name of Her Catholic Majesty, the Admiral commanding in Chief the French forces might, after his arrival cause a number of his troops, equal to those placed there by the Spaniards, to enter the town and fortress." So that it is plain the French will not allow either England or Spain to take a more active part in these proceedings than themselves.
