The Madrid mail of the 28th ult. arrived in Paris late
last evening. M. Isturitz had arrived at Madrid, on
his return from London. It was said that he had
tendered his resignation, which had not been ac-
cepted. The budget was presented in the Chamber
of deputies. The receipts are said to amount to
1,283,631,000 reale, and the budget of the expenses
will be reduced to the same amount; for which pur-
pose the minister will demand the authorisation to
make reductions which he may consider the most
urgent to effect the equilibrium.

The news from Mexico by way of the West Indies,
which s e yesterday noticed, is smte days later than
that r. crived rut the United States.
_ _

The members of the Mexican Congress had re-
solved to remove the scat of their deliberations
to Morelia, as at Queretaro they could not feel
assured of their personal safety. It was generally un-
derstood that they were favourable tonegotiationa with
a view to the restoration of peace, but that
the governors of several of the states had assembled
at Queretaro, with the object of pointing out to the
government the means of protracting the war. It
was also said that those of I'otoei, Guanajuato,
Michoacan, Queretaro, Jalisco, and Mexico, were
in favour of continuing hostilities, and that they had
even off, red to the president an army of 50,000 men
and the sum of 4,000,000 dollars, promising him that
both soldiers and money would be forthcoming during
the ment hot December. 'the army is to be composed ex-
clusively of National Guards, and to be commanded by
Gen. Bustamente, who would be empowered to select his
own officers, either out of the old army, or from those
newly called into service. The bells of the church, a
of Cu nijutita have been pulled down, for the purpose
of casting pieces of artillery.
The following contains the latest news from Vera
Cruz :
We have been informed by a leit r written at Mexico that
General Anaya has been elected pet eident, rid interim, of
the republic, and that the news of his election has been very
well received by the majority of the Mexican people.
General Herrera is about to he superseded in the com-
mand of the army by General Filizola, who has the reputa-
tion of beiug the most seientLic officer in the whole of the
country.
The government has offered Generals Arista and Menon
commat.de in the note army, which is to be orear.i.ed at
Queretaro, and it is reported that they have already accepted
them.
General Ampudia, who was suspected of entertaining re-
voluti o,try projects against the ,:overnrnent, has he. n
banished to Guailalaxsra. and it is also rumoured that there
he has been sl tiu. *Requieseat in pace.
General Morte came to Quere, aro to see if he could he
elected pre.ident, but his pretension was received with the
utmost contempt, by both soldiers and citizens.
TLe tea from Mexico presents a most complete scene of
waste ant sti en. At the approwth of au enemy the in-
habit...:.:3 of the small villages abandon their houses, and
run to emcee! thetnselves in the woods. Nearly all the
thatches have been tamed into hospitals or stables for the
troops, and the bells of all the churches at Guanajuato have
been pulled down for the purpose of casting pieces of
artillery.
On the 30th of November a train of 700 waggons, with
about 8,000 men, under Major-General Butler, left Vera
Cr,,,.
General Peterson left Jalapa on the 25th of November,
having previously hung two teamster for killing a boy
under taclee years of age. He also caused two Mexican
officers, who were taken prisoners, commanding guerillas.
to be executed; they were afterwards buried with great
pomp and ceremony by the people of Jalapa, which greatly
displeased the general, and the alealde was immediately
sent for, who stated that the funeral had been spontaneous
with the people, and that he had no power to interfere.
The exportation of bullion is for a time prohibited, as will
be seen from the following extract :
" GENERAL ORDERS. —ficad-quarters, Mexico, Nov. 25,
1941.—1 t is ordered, that no uncoined bullion, ban, or
ingots, either of gold or silver, shall be shipped from any
port of Mexico until the further orders of the government
at home shall be made known on the subject, so es to give
time to the said government to fix the rate of export duty
on such bullion, and, perhaps, a smaller duty on gold and
silver coin—By command of Major-Oeneral Scott,
" 11. L. SCOTT' A.A.A.G."
This order only arrived in Vera Crux by the English
courier just before the Severn sailed, and, c.maequently, after
the ipecie which she brings was on board.

Accounts from Alexandria, to the 20th ult., state
that the Ezst India Company's steam-frigate Moo-
staffer left Suez, for Madras and Calcutta, on the 11th,
baring on board the Earl and Countess of Dalhousie
