The brig Delina, Capt. Focal, at New Or
leans from Vera Cruz, brings dates from the
latter to the Sd ult and from the city of Mex
leo to the esth June. We copy the following
intelligence from the Bulletin, with the remark
that the Picayune gives a rumor that Mexico
was to send 10000 men to the frontier Of Tex
as Immediately.
The Mexican prpers are unusually silent on
the subject of Texas and the position she
holds at present towards the United States, al
though the intention of the u. States Govern
ment to send troops to the frontier of Texas
was known in the Capital or the 18th utimo.
The Mexican Government had made a new d-
vision Of the Republic into ten military de-
partments-the fifth comprises Nueva Leon,
Coahulla, Tamaupas, and Teras-thereby in
tlmating that she still intends to provide for
the Texans as citizens of the Mexican Re-
pSblic.

The President has convoked the Congress
for the consideration of various internal i'm
provements, affecting the tariff, etc., and also
to place before them the proceedings taken by
the Government on the resolutions concerning

tions empowered the President to make terms
with Texas on any condition save her annexa-
/ ton to the United States. We shall now see
what effect the consumnation of this act will
have on the Chambers.

! PERSECUTION OF AMERICAN CITIZENS AL.
READY COMMENCED IN MEXICO,
MAzArLAN, esd April, 1916
On the 18th inst. considerable excitement
was caused in this place, occasioned by a body
of artillerymen marching through the principal
streets to the Custom House. On their arrival
that place, the officer in command received
orders from the Collector of the Aduaua Ter
reetre, to accompany one of the clerks of the
said office with Sestigos and lay forced en-
barge at the point Of the bayonet on the pro-
perty of the only two American houses in the
| place, Parrot s. Co., and Mott, Talbot s. Co.,
to satisfy demand for duties caused by law
of the State of Sinolon, 1884, which law was
/ III loo' NY IdIlll vi tfldL year,
/ from that date up to few days previous to the
date of this, the Custom House had never de-
mandad from any house such duties
The house of Parrott s. Co. of course was
enlarged, on property to the amount of s45,-
600, to satisfy the clam, only amounting to
about $4,000; after which the troops were
marched to the house of Messrs. Mott, Tai
bott & Co, with the object of laying an en-
barge on their property, but Capt Hope, of
H. b. M. frigate ITALIA, nterfered, and pre-
vented the embargoes being laid one of the
partners Of the said firm being British sub
ject.
MIR, Parrot, who for many years has been
our Consul at hlaZatlan, suffered with much
patience the indignlty to his person, and as the
diplomatic relations between the United States
and Mexico are suspended, he has no resource
in seeking redress from the Mexican Govern
ment, and very properly called in the French
Consul to witness the proceedings, which are
Illegal and unjust from the commencement, as
no Judge or competent authority in the place
had passed sentence, or judgment, in any shape
or form, on the proceedings. MIR. Parrott has
gone before the French Consul and made out
his protest, and will submit it to his Govern
ment, to be settled with the other difficulties
now pending with Mexico. There are at Ma
zatlan nearly dozen importing houses, and
Notwithstanding not single demand has been
made by the Collector against them for duties;
having, as it appears, determined to take his
revenge out of the Americans.
Many respectable citizens seeing these scan
dalous proceedings, have used their influence
to conciliate matters. 1t is proper to remark
that in the year 1884, this State passed law
imposing duty on foreign goods imported, of
one-eghth part of the import duties, to defray
the expenses of the State. This duty was paid
up to 1887, when the tariff of that year took
effect, and the Central System of Government
was established, the State Government were
abolished, the General Governments abolished
all the rights of the States to make and enforce
laws. 1t appears that all the duties have long
since been mid anreonhly To the tariff of 1921
