HALF-PAST ONE,
The French Papers contain a letter from Mexico of the :10th May,
which is not quite of so late a date as previously received, but being of
some interest we give an abtract :—" The Mexican Government are at
their last resourse, and if an arrangement does not take place soon, they
will not h]ve a piastre in the Treasury: they wanted to make a forced
loan of 2,000,000 piastres, but the senate opposed it; the consequence
will be they will be reduced to the greatest misery.

It is expected that communications will soon take place between the
Government and M. Detfandis.

Urrea is still on the side of Mayalb an. This town was taken by the
Government troops, but they are so few in number that it is probable
that Urrea will retake it, and march immediately on Guadalaxaia.
General Mcejia is marching on Oaxaca."

Consols are not quit, co good as in the morning, and may he quoted a
