Conflicting accounts have been received from the
city of Mexico, via Vera Cruz, as to the Tehuan-
tepee treaty. The ship American, which left Vera
Cruz on the sth of May, reports that news had
reached that place of the ratification of the treaty by
the Mexican Congress. On the- other hand, from
other channels it is reported to be still under discus-
sion in the Mexican Congress, and further that Go-
vernment were dispatching troops to the Isthmus to
repel an anticipated invasion by Americans.
The answer of the Mexican Government to the
merchants of Vera Cruz as to their claims produced
some dissatisfaction, and disturbances were appre-
hended. Business was very dull at Vera Crus and
Mexico.
The new Mexican Minister was to be presented to
the President on the 22d. It is said President Arista
declares, in his communication, that Mexico will never
consent to the opening of the Tehuantepec route by a
foreign company; in taking this position Mexico
looks at the contingency of a war with the United
States, and relies on the aid of the English Govern-
ment to maintain
