O* THE SI* YORE HBKA1.P.
M aphid, March 11, 1868.
In ibt Chamber o; Deputies today Itravo Murillo,
the Speaker, presiding, the following speech was
made by Cipriano del Mazo, in support of his motion
calling on ttie government for papers and information
reflecting the continued failure of Mexico t<f
comply with the obiigations of her treaties, as well
respc- ling the outrages and assassinations committee
m Mexico on Spaniards; and in view of the
political considerations to which these subjects tend,
Uut tbey receive the consideration of the committee
which shall report thereon to the Cortes for such action
as they may deem proper to adopt:?
Scner Mazo raid?Perhaps there may be some
who will think the presentation of this call ill-timed
at a moment when a bill is under discussion for the
collection of imjoste, but 1 think, Deputies,that that
aibjei t may well enough wait a little which is about
to extract from the country ">0.000.000 ol reals
IM.600.000). however necessary it may be, in com
yliment to a very important subject that affects the
Rational honor, and as well the moral. With this
apology lor interrupting the Congress while engaged
tberwise, 1 advance to the subject. One of the questions
that calls loudest upon the attention of government
is that wiin Mexico, which should arouse no
party , is uot of private interest, and lies not within
tbf confined irele of faction; it is a subject near to
the honor ?>t a nation noble arid brave, which in other
limps his known bow to vindicate it? wrongs, and
which was never sparing of blood and treasure when
its national honor was in doubt; and for this reason
je the wonder greater, when the bad direction is considered
that has beeu permitted to public affairs, suffering
ourselves to be the ridicule of a weak and inconstant
nation like that of Mexico, despised
and scorned abroad, after being disgraced at
tome by her internal conflicts. That the powerftil
reasons that impel us to action may
be understood, it will be necessary, although
m rough lines, to trace the history of past occurences,
while having before us all the documents thai have
been made public, as well those that have appeared
in the Mexican press as elsewhere, and the memorandum
ef laifrngua, her last envoy?a papeT
written with a prejudice and feeling against
Spaniards equal to Its bail faith, wherein act- are
disfigured or covered up, and the most of them turned
ont of resemblance to themselves, though it never
tbeless confesses, for it could not conceal so much,
that crimes have been committed against Spaniards
but seeking at times o explain the causes that produced
them, and at others attempting to adduce the
reasons that have prevented the Mexican government
from punishing them to that hour. Our discords
wuh Mexico are no* of to day. They date from
the insurrection of tne colony which began in the
year 1810 and concluded in 1821 with their independence?an
unfortunate country from that hoar.
Mor ha- time nor have circumstances sufficed to cxtinguish
the ill will with which the Mexicans h.tve
ever looked uj*>n ns; whether under the ephemeral
empire of Iturbide or the government of it- aeitated
'ndependencies. the same d?ep dislike exists to all
that ts ar- the name of Spaniards, regardless of our
common unity by language, ance-try and religion.
Ihirinp the*revolution which led to the emancipation
of Mexico, and even before that time, under the
government of the viceroys, our countrymen held
many debt- against that State, which subsequently
t made its own by an enactment of the year 1824,
recognizing and obligating it-elf to nay them by a
treaty with this country, signed in 1836; for Spain,
then conducting herself with more dignity than now
exa ted that a.- a condition ?inr qui ru>n of reo>p
cozing the independence of wliat had. until
thai rune. been a colony for a period of more
than three hundred years. Other debt* to Spaniards
are likewise < ld and the holders of them have lieen
continually derived a- to their payment, injured and
even persecuted. For the adjustment of these debts
a convention was made in 1h47. hot which <>nb'
served to sb'-w tlic bad faith of the Mexican government.

sum a show, at least, of that energy that was need- ! j
i d. Hut the new diplomatist disappointed our expee- 1 <
tat ions; lie did nothing the government had charged | 1
him to do and which he hail promised. The minis- i
ter nearly as soon as he arrived at Vera Cruz, left I i
the vessels and took his way? j 1

Mexico. Arrived there he humbly said to the r
government of the republic that he had nothing i
to do with the vessels tnat bad brought him to Vera 1
Cruz, that they were under the orders of the Captain <
Cenei.il of the island of Cuba, aud that their pre- 1
sence in the harbor of the port should not be con- 1
sidered as indicative of menace. The government of o
Mexico, acting for the welfare of the country, re- v
quired of Senor Santos Alvarez, as a condition, sine s
ijiki non, of proceeding to business, that be should n
cause his little squadron (for so the Mexicans called t
our force) to retire; and the Minister did so, giving (
directions accordingly to the dignitied commander of o
the licet, whom I now ?ee before me occupying one n
0i the -eats; and whi n the Admiral asked him for d
what purpose had be been brought there, he was an- it
swered:? c
We bave come here with to purpose, and if we tawl o
some wo hive it no longer. Von can go bacs with your 0
rissele to Havana. j,
Thus it was that the one which appeared first as tl
giving satisfaction wa? Spain, that the Spanish
government would take njion itself new obligations
to the end of' entreating the favor of the powerful
republic of Mexico, a conduct that was the common
talk of all Spain for its weakness and pusilanimity. h
which gave grounds tor the Mexicans to become em- t
boldened and to set about preparing for our countrymen
another Sicilian vespers, such as subse- fc
quently took place. Senor Santos Alvarez d
tnen promised, moreover, (and it was much to pro n
mise.) that the Spanish government would t<
accept the new revision desired by the government JH
of Mexico, that Power insulting us anew bv telling oi
us that if it should satisfy the arrears it would be be- P
(KM it had att.lined the object it had in view? b
another revision. And that was not all: our Min- w
ister authorized that government bv acquiescence to g
publish its decree of the 12th of July, 1850 by which n
it claimed to reserve to itself the right to proceed by u
civil suit and criminal prosecution against any of the n
creditors, it in that revision it should be di 'covered ol
that their claims ha J been wrongfully admitted, ei
setting forth at the same time tluit a commission a
would be appointed ,,f ,,u two peiMMoa tic put ti
11 either government, contlned to examining the
credits in their origin, continuity and existence. t<
Peputies.it is tiioughto disclose at once the bad n
faith of the Mexican government, to compare the h
context of the decree of July, 1850, which was can- li
relied to exact as sufficient to give title the facts of d
origin and property, with this requirement of origin, ti
continuity and vitality, whii . the Mexican govern- r
ment exacted contrary to the genuine spirit and the r
letter of this treaty of 1*53, that insisted on the Urst n
terms only, since in holding the property one may fi
well enough pass, cede and alienate it; hut that t
government knew well that it was not easy to prove o
these qualities, and reserved to itself the right to fj
reject such claims as did not show them. o
1 we see in this fatal arrangement made by p
Senor Alvarez a proof of the unskillulness with n
which he labored in this matter, in which he not h
only let sour his dignity in a doubtful position, but o
has rendered all friendly transaction difficult. Never- s
thejoss. it is not the only error in this business during o
the administration oj Senor Zavala. Ignorant of k
the trie character of the business, the tone which
had l?een need at the liegtnning that such general
satisfaction was not only abandoned, but * hen all the In
woild believed Spain wu able of herself to chastise g
her wrong! th Minister of State thawed himself dia b]

im. The relations of this country with that repubc
arc not yet warlike; there are dissensions and
iscussions- dissensions that may end by negotiaion
as well as by war. That is in the future. The
epresentative of Mexico, it is known, was not offliallv
received by the government of Spain. The
linister who th( n filled tliis seat held unofficial conprences
with him: consequently it cannot be said
hat Senor Pidal held any communication that he
ught not to have done. The result of all these j
rets is that the subject is at this time in the charge ;
f the governments of Prance and England, which ,
roposed their mediation to prevent a war that in '
!s consequences might all'ect not only America, but j
lurope; and not merely ourselves, who, on i-count
f our possessions beyond the sea, have much to coni?ler
before we enter on a war. but likewise because t
f the international relations between the Powers of

nil MISSIONARY PACKET MORNING STAR AT BONOLFLU
iKrom the Honolulu Advertiser, Feb. 11. |
ne packet returned from her first cruise to
ilie westward on Thursday last. We have obtained
From Rev. P. J. (lulick and from ("apt. Moore the
following particulars of the voyage, which will
loubtless interest all our readers:?
The Morning Star left Waimea, Kauai, on the 11th
jf August with light trade zephyrs, which continued
eighteen days till she reached the Menzikofl' group,
which lie in N. lat. 11 deg., E. Ion. li>7 deg. 20 min.
From thence to L'alan. or Htronar's Island, the vessel
had a sue, e8sion of calms, squalls and head wind*,
with nn easterly current, where they arrived Sent.
Nth, bnt were not able to enter the harbor till the
11th. and it is doubtful whether they could then
have ente red but for the aid of Capt. I wrence, of
the whaleship Com. Morris, who sent three of bis
boats to tow the packet in Capt. T awrence put
into Strong's Island to repair a leak.
The Mission families stationed on this island were
found well and 1 it ifTering for want of supplies, as
would have been the case had they not fortunately
procured some from ships. They had not, however,
Fiad any letters or publications from abroad for nearly
two years. .Their joy on the arrival of the missionary
packet can therefore be readily imagined.
The arrival of the Morning Star at this time seems
to have been providential, and tended to allay the
anxiety and excitement with which the missionaries
had been oppressed night and day for two months.
It appears that a sort of tilibuster war was raging
between some old resident Roturna men, assisted by
some white men, against the Kusaians, as the natives
of Strong's Island styled themselves. These
Rotuma men arc from the island of Rotuma, situated
south of the equator, and are considered superior
and more energetic than the Strong's islanders,
and have always entertained the idea of some day
subjugating the neighboring islands. The contli<;t is
*ai<^ to have been commenced in this manner:?
The Rotumas had long been collecting arms and
ammunition, and had intimated that they would t.ike
the island or that their countrymen would come and
do it. Karly in July last they planned to have a
grand feast, about tne 8th, in the house of one Co
kcrt, an American, and formerly mate of a -liip
wit eked on that island. A little previous to the day
af the feast the King learned, through the wives of
sonic of the Roturn is, that they had saent much
time in putting their muskets in order, and that on
the day or night after tlte feast ihev intended to tall
upon tlie chiefs and their adherents, murder them
and the missionaries, and take possession of the
island.
The Kinp, therefore, very early on feast day, sent
11 mid men to the hou-es of part of these Rotuma
men. and found they had already started, muskets
in hand, for the feast; hut in their houses were found
ind seized seventeen nne-kets, several kegs of pow
lor, and a large number of cartridges. His men
ilso pursued and killed live of the Rotnmas, and the
it hers took ret age in Covert's house, where he and
lis partner, Johnson, an Knglishmwn, defended
hem.as they said, because they were their Mllj
ind like them, breathed outthreateningsand slaugh
er against the Kusaians, who, on the other hand,
sere watching night and day to catch and kill any
who came out.trying also to bnrn the house. A few
ither Americans were at first enticed to join the
ebel party ard entered the feast bouse, but when
t was found that they would not engage in fight
hey were sent out. Yhe foreigners, though closely
esieped by the king's men. and scant <>f provisions,
loped to hold out till a sliip would arrive whose
row would espouse their cause, when they expected
o be able somehow to rid themselves and 'he island
>f chiefs, and of the missionaries, who had opiKwed
;beir plans. But Captain l-awrence, who arrived
imultaneoiialy. after having heard the whole
tory, told them they could receive uo aid
Ironi his ship. Being thus foiled in their
lope ol succor, they were glad to get out of the
crape as easily as they could. Hence, soon after
he arrival of " the Morning Star. Covert as their
coder. had a parley with the King on board the
racket, in the presence of Captains M'K>re and Lawenceand
the missionaries.
The King, finding the tilibus'ers at his mcr?y, de'larod
that none of tliem should leave Covert's nou?e
mless they would previously stipulate that they
vould all leave the island n? "on > practicable.
Daring the revolt sane three or louroi tne Ki-.f.ins
aid been killed by Covert's p.n'y and they had do
larcd that nothing short of th"' King's head would
atisly them. But as they now saw that he w is tirm
Hid that their hope from the shipping was likely to
rove abortive, altht ugh hia terms w< re very paring,
hey were compelled to accept them, and were tireu
illowed to dispose of their property.
Up to this period the missionaries here, owing to
heir fears for the result of thia contest were unfiling
to have their supplies landed from the vessel,
xcept a tew for immediate use. and did not feel
hat both families could goto the general meeting,
hough anxious to do so. The disturbance having
if< n ?ettled, their supplies were landed. and
hey prepared to po with the vessel, leaving
ianoa with his family in charge of the
tation. At their urgent request. four of the
?ading Rotuma* were taken to As Tension,
I being thought they eould do little if any harm <>n
'ot.ape; and a few week* after Capt. L. took off the
wo white men and ail the others whom the Kng
enud dangerous.
The schooner left Strong s Island Sept. 15. airivrig
at Hhalong,on Ascension Inland. tr.e '.'3d. and
ra* Curded ny Dr. Oulick when en'e:ingth? baror.
A I th" mission families w , Me r ,-ual
leaith, though several of their number were- teeble,
Lid 11? ugh quite out of provision-, they hud not ?ufrred
?eriou?ly for want of supplies. Their joy,
. wever, on the arrival of su h a vessel tor the use
i the mission, with ample supplies and a rein:or< enent,
m enud unbounded.
All the stations in Micronesia give et den e of
rogrfss. It appear* in diverse ways, hut chielly in
he standing ana influence which the missionaries
i w have. Quite a number one hundred, perhaps,

01'r caiip0kn1a correspond)!ncr.
Fan Francisco, Cal., March 20,1858.
The Mormon llTar?The .Mystery Explained--Col.
Kant? IVho He Is.
By the last mail 1 wrote to yon respecting the
passage through the city of an agent of the govern- j
merit on his way to Utah. At that time there was
nothing definitely known of who the gentleman was, j
further than he was known at San Bernardino as i
Col. Kane. The I,os Angeles .Star, from which I j
gathered this information, was considerably in the
fog in associating with his passage through this |
eity the leaving of the leading Mormons of this |
Btate for Utah, and making, with other journals, i
quite a mystery of the affair.
On inquiry I learn that the " mysterious personage"
who appeare in California some time ago,
and around whom the Mormons here quickly clustered,
was no other than one of the apostles from
England?Orson Pratt, brother to the Pratt who was
1 killed last summer by Mr. McLean, in Arkansas. The |
living Pratt arrived here with a small company from ;
England ,via Panama, which immediately caused a stir
among the Mormons in the city and in the diggings
contiguous.
j The II fsffrn Standard, the ^oitdob organ of 1
the city, was stopped, the office el oscd, and in four
days after the apostle's arrival he left for Great Salt
lake City, with the editor, Cannon, and his corps
of writers and printers?all Utah Mormons?together
with a number of their truest men as his body
guard.
The government agent did not pass throngh here
for some time after, and had no relationship with ,
the Mormons?in fact they had all left some con I
sidcrable time before his arrival. TliiH gentleman. I !
am informed is Col. Thomas L. Kane, brother of I>r.
F.lisha Kent Kane, the Arctic explorer of imperishable
memory.
The Colonel appears to have long sympathized
with the Mormons?possibly because be saw them '
in deep disties^. I remember well that iust ten
years ago this month he addressed a public mooting
of your citizens in the chapel of the University, in behalf
of the remnant of that people then suffering on
the Plains after their expulsion from Nauvoo. He
related then what destitution he had witnessed i
an.ot!:.' the to in -u ii an b-ouent and touch, iwinner
that several of your leading citizens, with Mayor
Brady p.t their head, passed resolutions recommending
a Mormon relief committee to the consideration ,
of the public, which ultimately turned in to tlicm
sutstantiai sympathy.
Ttix very "probable that the Colonel's sympathy
has not been exhausted sir.ee that time, and I think
it not unlikely that the disinterested benevolence
that prompted him to speak in their Ubalf iu New
Yoik mav have led him to Washington, qnd furnished
tne opportunity to President Buchanan
of saying to Brigham Young through a friend what
he would not do likely to notice through any other
channel, it he can bring the Mormorato terms, and i
prevent the effusion of nlood and the misery that (
war would entail 0:1 nunv innocent persons, he will .
accomplish an important tusk. though it should disappoint
our tight.ng men of anticipated glory.
The hearty welcome that the Colonel received |
from the Mormons with whom he rir*t met, and the
ready service he reeeiv< d from the leaders left in
charge of the migrating Mormona r>? >-vutr for Utib,
she wed that they attached great importance to hia I
tniaaion.
The mail from Utah preceding hia arrival was
brought by Mormona.aa the Inuianaon the route had
refused to let others ptm freely, mi that. by accident,
or design a? ?ome would have it. Ephraim Hanks, j
the mo?t dai.ng and Intrepid of the Mormon mail
conductors, was called into service, and lett in 'he
greatest haute and aecreay with th? envoy concealed
n his carriage.
It is not unlikely that you will learn the result of
hi* mission from ti e exnmliikm oefore you can learn
it frc-n thi- ola c We may. lew -.c;. have - .ni?
thing on the enbji * next mail.
You will see > y the Dturrt Xrm that the war
like feeling l* quite as manifest now in Utah as on
any previous 0 :.a?ion.
NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS.
However sparingly the Mormons may dispense |
their favors to the Gentile*, it is unquestionably a 1
prominent tin It in the character of the formvr to lie !
lavish of speech in addressing the latter. A general j
ifvbw of the Pcseret .Vrow by this mail confirms j
again this noticeable peculiarity. The addresses (
and the resolutions accompanying them, ostensibly
intended fur the h:ef executive of the nation, the
Senate and the House, were doubtless expected to
find a place in the Eastern papers.

there, ard they are not able to remove. Tbey were
told, at the start, that they wouhl have to .-enounce
their religion, or el-e come whining b.i k 'o the.-e
