we some time ago laid before our readers
the instructions of the Duke dc Rauzan to NJ.
ue Chasscriau, which threw a curious light on
The views oi France. The Courier and New
Times doubted the genuineness of the Docu
'ieh', resting their doubts chiefly on mistrans-
'ation OF passage, which we afterwards cor
rec'ed. We knew, however, that the anthem
ichy oil the Instructions would not be denied in
farls; SO far from this, the Editor of the Etoile,
h'ihislefiai Paper, says, exultingly, with re-
ference to them:
Let these instructions be compared with all
the declarations of certain pamphlets, against
me french Government. and il will be seen If
" istrue, as some persons would have us to be-
.e'e, mat the Government, on this question: is
iofgctui of the interests of Spain.n
w g waited for this ecii,uissen.e,t before we
shonid gave another document of the same des-
crir'ion-the secret instructions OF the Duke
lie Rauzan to Colonel Galabert.

one OF the hrmcst bases of your mission As TO
The maps which, you have made on the SPOT and
winch are annexed to your different memorials
the originals are to be sent to Madrid wifi, the
greatest despatch as soon as the copies can be
completed. That of the Gull of Mexico is
finished, as well as that indicating the military
points of the t'Ioiiias.
An important point, and on which ron have
ever given hut little Information, is the dispos;.
ton OF The Mexican Clergy. COMPOSED of diff
iercni orders, and OF different ecclesiasc supre-
| r,acies, there must be among them vivairics and

Hind superstition prevails, in the midst of the
most frghtlul liceutiOusncss; the pcop!e suGer

thc clergy sufficiently powerful 10 make n
revolution of themsclves;n but il will sill be ne
ccss2ry to know the influential members % the
superior clergy, and the aspect under which, the
cures and the monks consider the revolution
and the separation from Spain. Valuable notes
must be 1t Madrid on this subject and il is not
OF less Importance TO you than to the advantage
