50. (766) 1862 März 6 erscheint als ein gentleman, verglichen mit Sir C. Lennox W yke. Diese Canaille entwickelt nicht nur den unbändigsten zele in der Ausführung der geheimen Instruktionen Pams, sondern sucht sich durch Lümmelei auch dafür zu rächen, daß der mexi- kanische Minister des Auswärtigen (jetzt abgegangen), Seßor Zamacona, ein ehmaliger Journalist, in dem diplomatischen De- peschenwechsel ihm beständig überlegen ist. Was den Stil des Kerls angeht, so hier ein paar Proben aus seinen Depeschen an Zamacona, „The arbitrary act of stopping all payments for the space af two years in depriving the parties interested of their x money for that spaceof time, which is a dead loss >f so much value to them.“ „A starving man may justify, in his own eyes, the fact of stealing a loaf on the ground that im- perious necessity impelled him there to; but such an argument 2annot, in a moral point of view, justify his violation of the law, x which remains as positive, apart from all sentimenta- lity, as if the crime had not had an excuse.

Wyke antwortet ihm, daß „the population of Mexico is so de- graded as to make them dangerous, not only to themselves, but to everybody coming into contact with them!“ Zamacona schreibt ihm, daß die Vorschläge, die er macht, der w Selbständigkeit der Republik ein Ende machen und gegen die Würde jedes unabhängigen Staats seien. Wyke antwortet: „Ex- cuse me for adding that such a proposition as I have made to you does not necessarily become undignified and impracticable simply because you, an interested person, (ie. als 4 7 30 (1)3—39
