Senior El Tor Covarruhias has been elected
President. and Senior Ruiz de Leon Vice Presi-
den, OF the House of Representatives; FL Senior
Ramirez and Senior Trigueros President and
Vice President OF the Senate.
We have now TO present The French Minister,
The Baron de Cyprey, 10 our readers, IN new
difficulty. IL the Baron has not made hiInseil
eminent as diplomalist, ne has, nevertheless,
gained for himself the reputation OF being
fighting man.
|, appears that on the night of The 10th OF Sep
,ember. The Baron was al the theatre in Mexico,
as was also lawyer Of The name OF Oflero.-
While The latter was coming ont OF his box, the
Baron went up 10 him, and observed that he mad
word 10 say 10 him, 10 which the lawyer replied,
"as many as you please, sir" The minister
then called French gentleman, whom he wanted
10 act as interpreter ASK Mr. Olero, sad ne,
"whelher he is The author OF the editorials IN me
Siglo Diezy Nueve" 10 which Mr. Otero REPLIED
that he did not feel disposed 10 give him any an
swer. The question being repeated, and SINH
lar answer returned, The Baron Immediately hi
The lawyer with his cane, and then the lawyer
struck the Baron with his fist the Minister then
spit in The face of Mr.. Otero, and Mr. Oiero did
do 10 the Minister.
Ii was very pretty quarrel as it stood, but al
this part OF the performance the belligerens were
separated, Lot, however, without The Baron telling
the lawyer "at II he lcaatcd am saiisfa1tlon, nc
kner rirre he Qhe Baron) Tired" This TencOn-
ire created great excitement throughout The city
OF Mexico, so much 50, that The Government
placed guard before The house OF The French
Minister, in order 10 defend his person and his
pIUpcIJ. HONSpSii OSIo'iSu ~ aie'o'b
The peace OF the city.
The next day, the Government sent polite
note 10 the Baron, which informed him, that, as
he had received his passports, in compliance with
his request, and there was no necessity for his re-
naming in the Republic any longer, he would be
please, 10 leave the city mikhin three days Thus,
then, the Baron de Cyprey has, second time,
brought himself into noloriety. The first affair
was al The Baths OF Las Deicas, which may be-
come a Government question; the latter, how
ever, is entirely personal matter, with which
France will mol interfere.
We do not find any intelligence of the move
mcnl of the troops indeed, the Vera Cruz papers I
are extremely pacific in their remarks about this
country.
On The 9th instant, there was lying in the har !
Dor of Vera Cruz, The Spanish hrg-of war Pat |
rioa; the French iS-ot-war Grffon; The British |
sloop-of war Eurydice and the brg-of-war Per- |

sells OF war: John Adams, Falmouth, Saratoga, |
Somcrs, Porpoi,e, 81. Mary's, and steamship !
Mississippi; the Princeton was of the harbor.

We have hurriedly ran through our files, but |
have sought in vain for any thing 10 indicate that |
there has occurred any improvement in The al |
fairs of Mexico. On The contrary, she is plum
gins deeper and deeper into difficulties, and a |
powerful party clamors for the overthrow OF The |
present administration. They ask not only
change in the Cabinet, but that Gen. Herrera
himself should resign and retire 10 private life
Sonora, too, is in state OF instruction. Du-
range is overrun with savages, and poor MEXICO
looks utterly Frustrated. But We will commence
with a letter from an intelligent, American officer
al SacIlcios 1t may be fully relied upon:
U. S. SoCApRoS, SAcRiFlcros,
Near Vera Cruz, Ocl. .. 1915.
Gentlemen: | lake the liberty OF sending you
some Of the latest Mexican papers, from which
YOU will bs able gather intelligence OF interest
Tor your many thousand readers. | think yon
will find The tone Of The public journals here
much less violent than a month or Two ago, and
The change is more phe in the Government
papers than in those OF the opposition. In truth,
difficulties begin TO throng so lhickly upon them
that they are coming round 10 the opinion,
that those North Americans, after all said and
done are as good friends 10 Mexico as others
who make greater professions.
The late French Minister, Baron de Cyprey,
has had an unpleasant affair in the theatre with
one OF the Editors OF the Siglo xix, OF which
YOU will find an account in Courier Francois,
which send YOU The populace of Mexico is
highly incensed against him, and the Govern
ment has informed The Baron, that unless he
leaves the city in three days, they cannot be an
swerable for his safely. II is said, 100 that seve-
raj Mexican gentlemen have challenged him.
The British Minister has entered protest
against measure row under consideration III
Consrcss-namcy the revision OF contracts en-
tered into by Santa Anna in 1873. The house
of Manning & Marshall, it appears, obtained
the lease Of the Mint Of Guanajuato for num-
her of years upon terms ruinous 10 the public in
,eresls, though at1ording The Government tenn
porary command Of money. This act, they knew,
was subject 10 The revision of Congress, and The
les, proof of this, as the committee very peril
nentv observe in their report, is the fact, tnatihey
applied 10 Congress in July last TO confirm the
contract. But The British Minister maintains,
thai il would De a breach oil ialln 10 annul Inc
contract, as recommended by the committee
This, Won will perceive, does mol increase INC
proba bilily Of negotiating The Eileen million oan'
of which, BY the way, nothing IS now heaId' !,
ONLY remained that the Spanish Minister should
take umbrage at something or other TO complete
The diplomatic tableau now enactng IN Mexico,
and this he conlrved 10 do, on the occasion oil the
public oratons delivered on The anniversary OF
some revolutionary glory. Like our Fourth Of
July orators | presume The grandeur Of Their
subjects led them TO express themselves IN no nat
terina terms of The Mother Country; so Her Ca
thoIic Majesiy's representative closed his house
on day OF general rejoicing. The Government
paper came out disowning the sentiments OF the
speakers, wnich u cuse'.eu "eiS ,'etey vi
pressions Of private sentiments. The Spanish or,
gan Ola Hesperia) then expressed itseli satisfied
with the disclaimer, and The affair ended.
Nothing is heard OF any military movements,
and il may be confidently asserted d, mat no HOOPS
have left San Luis Potos Tor the Texan frontier.
"Moncy! money!! moncy!!!" is the cry of the
Government; and if Governments have hearts, |
DOUBT not pesos is engraved en- The Mexican heart,
as Nelson said "lrigate' was on his.
We have here now eight American vessels oil
