TREATY BETWEEN AMERICA AND MEXICO. -TIIC
Philadelphia Journal contains the following :—" Mr.
M'Lean, our Minister at Mexico, has negotiated a treaty
With the Canstitutional Government, which, if its pro-

visions are correctly announces

first place, it secures to us a perpetual transit over the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with ample privileges for the
protection of the route, ports on both sideS of the
Isthmus, and neutrality in time of war. 'ln the next
place, we have the privilege of a route across Mexico to
some harbour on the Gulf of California. Guyamuas,
which lies midway of the Gulf, and which has a good
harbour, will doubtless be the point selected. A

half of which is to be applied to the settlement of
the claim of our citizens against Mexico, to be adjucated
by a commission. The other half will be of im-
mense service to President Jurez, in enabling him to
sustain and establish his Government. Money is the
great sinew of war in Mexico, and it is a matter of
congratulation that we are thus enabled to furnish this,
