INTERESTING FROM MExrco.-By way Of New
Orleans, VIC have highly interesting intelligence
from Mexico. President BIst..ncnfc had been
induced to change his ministry, and it was feared
that all the Efforts of the Government would be in
etfcctua, in preventing, another popular outbreak
or revolution.
The following officers compose the new cabinet.
jose Maria Bocancgra, Minister Of Foreign
Relations.
Minncl Mari, Perez. Minister of Finance.
Jose Antonio Romero, Minister Of the Interior
and Justice.
Icnacio Mora villamil, Minister Of War and
Marine.
1t was supposed that Santa Anna was at the
bottom of the recent tumults; and although the
Government had a vigiiant eye upon him, they
were afraid to arrest and bring him to trial

thing but the local currency, and the smaller
denominations ofthat must be increased. BY
receiving the notes Of specie paying banks,
that issue no bills Of denominations less than
$40, the local currency would be stimulated
and enhanced. the small notes discouraged,
and specie be used in minor dealings. II
viii be totally impossible to get specie into
circulation under the present system.
Something should be done to restore the
confidence of the community in such banks
as are solvent, and 10 bring up their notes to
the specie standard We wish to protect no
banks that are not sound and capable. We
abhor irredeemable paper money. We wish
to see no paper money that is not convertible
at the will Of the holder into specie. Now
specie has been carried abroad by oyeraction
on the one hand, and distracted from the
banks by the policy Of the Government on
the other. The currency is disordered !;
debtors to the banks cannot pay; and the cur
rency Of the latter is not convertible into
specie at par, as it should be. II is essential
to the general welfare that it should be
made convertible, and it seems to us that the
Government is bound by moral and consti-
tutional obligation, to extend its aid to the
people in this emergency, as far as it can by
a just exercise Of its powers, rather than turn
away with the selfish declaration that "it has
nothing TO do, bax to take care of itself." Let
the circulation Of the country first be placed
upon solid and substantial basis, and the
people accommodated with good and well
regulated currency, by the cooperation Of the
General Government for that purpose, and
then we can hear with more patience, the
proposition that the Federal Government has
no control over the general currency Of the
country, and the general welfare of the
people.

first instance II was adopted, shown in the report,
bu, that cit afterwards put again, and negatived

further examination, you will find not TO be strictly
correct. The original resolution, as reported by
the Committee of Finance, was in the words follow
ing
Tcsolued That the prayer of the respective pc
titioners ought not to be granted"
This resolution Mr.. Clay moved to amend by
strknd out all after the word Resolved" and in
serting "that IL will be expedent to establish a
United States Bank, whenever majority of the
people shall desire such an institution"
This amendment Mr. Talmadgc moved to amend,
by striking out all after the word "thai" and insert
ing inlieu thereof-"in the opinion of the Senate
clear majority of the people OF the United States arc
opposed to the establishment of National Bank,
and that It is inexpedient to grant the prayer OF the
petitioners" Upon this amendment of Mr.. .Ctays

which were ordered accordingly--yeas %, nays ID.
