The invasion of Mexico.
--The French journals publish the following:
‘
We are informed that the last dispatches received from
Mexico have decided the allied nations to adopt final measures as regards that country, and to occupy its capital until a permanent 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.
