EXTRACT OF A LETTER F.IOM MEXICO, MAY 21.

A few small loans have been made to the Govern-
ment—part of the amount in local notes, and part in
casht—to receive instalments in Custom House duties.
The Government have been obliged to make an increase
of their expenditure, owing to the threatened invasion
from the Havannah. Should it be attempted, there is
no doubt as to its lot—its failure. The expulsion of
the old Spaniards continue. The law for the exporta-
tion of silver bars passed the Chamber or Deputies, but
met with great opposition from the Senatlrs; and
the Sessions have closed without the law passing.—
It does not appear probable that the G.wernment can,
under the present circumstances, remit frr the divi-
dends due in England. •
