FROM MEXICO--LATER.
BY the arrival yesterday Of the brig
DELrINA, Capt. Focal, from Vera Cruz, we
have received our files Of papers from the
city Of Mexico to the 2sh ult., and dates
from Vera Cruz to the 4th inst
Almost the only news of interest con
sists in the proclamation of Herrera, the
President ad interim Of Mexico, convoking
an extra session Of Congress for the LIST OF
July, for the purpose of taking the follow
ing subjects into consideration:
Art. lst.-Constitutiona Reforms.
! Art. 2.-Review of the Acts of the Pro
vincial Government.
Art. 3.-Review of the two Chambers
relative to the United States and Texas.
The elections in August are for one hall
Senate, one half of the Assemblies of the
Departments and for the President of the
Republic. The canvass does not appear
very animated.
General Bustamente had reached the city
of Mexico. He was received with abund-
ant demonstrations of kindness and good
feeling on the part of his friends.
A communication in the HEspERIA of the
25th states that the road leading across the
MONTE DE LAS CRUCES near the Toluca is
swarming with brigands, who attack, rifle
and maltreat all who fall in their way; and
that unless the government take speedy
and certain measures to exterminate these
robbers, the road will cease altogether to
be frequened-so much terror do their
misdeeds excite.
Speaking Of Santa Anna, the MONITOR
CONSTITUTIONAL remarks that il is assured
that Gen. Santa Anna has received the
Cross Of Charles Sd, and advises the Gov
eminent to ascertain the truth of the state.
ment, as in case of its correctness, that in
dividual will have forfeited his title as a
citizen of Mexico, and cannot claim the
pension granted him in the act of amnesty.
The papers in the interior are chiefly
engaged in the consideration of local af-
fairs. Many of them are in favor of Her
rera as President of the Republic.
A correspondent of the BULLETIN, writ
ing from Mazatin, under date of the 23d
April, relates a case of illegal extortion
and oppression exercised by the authori-
ties of that port towards the only Ameri-
can houses in that place, Parrot & Co.,
and Mott, Talbot & Co. According to
the writer, forced embargo has been laid
on the property of Parrot 81 Co., which
amounts to $4,000, for the purpose of sat-
isfying demand for duties to the amount
of $4,000 caused by law of the State OF
Sinola, in 1884, which law was annuIled in
1887 by the tariff Of that year, and from
that time had never been enforced. The
house of Mott, Talbot & Co., was spared
through the interposi,ion of the commander
Of II. B. M. frigate ITALIA, one Of the
partners of the house being British sub
ject.
Mr.. Parrot, in the absence of any di.
plomatic agent of the U. States, called in
the French Consul TO witness the proceed
ings, and before that functionary drew up
a protest. which will be submitted to the
U. s. Government. The Project of the
Port addressed letter to the Governor OF
the State, complaining of these violent and
unjust proceedings, which he imputes to the
caprice and tyranny of the Collector. The
embargo, however, has not been raised
and the Consul (Mr. ParrotD is determined
to resist the payment and suffer his prop
erty to be sold.
The writer in question explains the'pre-
|
tempted, as follows: 1t is proper to remark
that in the year 1884, this State passed q
law imposing duty on foreign goods i'm.
ported, of one eighth part of the import du.
ties, to defray the expenses of the State
This duty was paid up TO 1887. when the
tariff of that year took effect, and the Cen,
trail System of Government established
the State Governments 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 paid, agreeable to the tariff
of 1887, which was a general disposition
of the Supreme Government.
If Mexico is to signalze her hostility 10
the United States by such unjustifable acts
of private oppression. she will speedily
have cause to rue her insolent and petty
tyranny.
