In regard to the loan attempted to be raised
from the clergy Of Mexico, we have the official
letter Of the Minister Of the Treasury Senior
ItuGbc, dated the 18th, before the news of the
actions of the 8th I'D 9th could have been re-
ceiVed. 1t sets forth the grieYous necessity OF
money for the war, and urges the duty of the
clergy to submit to the hardship forced upon all
by the national calamities. He tells thetArch-
bishop that the Government has appropriated all
revenues which were mortgaGed, suspeudng
without exception all payments to its creditors;
that it withheld fourth part OF the salaries Of
all Its employees; that all classes were called
upon to make sacrifices, and the clergy must
not be exempt He then calls for loan Of
$4,000 900, payable in twelve monthly install
ments, commencing the 30th June The Arch
bishop is called upon 10 partition the loan a
mong the various bodies Of the clergy, On
the 5th the Archbishop replied that he had
summoned an ecCeslastic convention TO meet
that morning, before whom the matter would
be laid; and that he would cooperate to the ex-
tent of his powers Gin a war il which were at
stake the two precious objects Of Meyicans, its
independence and IFS religion The next we
hear Of the loan is an announcement in FL Re-
publcano, Of the 2lst, that the metropolitan
churches could not contribute the $4,000 a
month allotted to them,as the total OF their reVe-
nues will fall short OF that sum. The same paper
states that the collection OF such sums as are
assigned to the other churches is utterly I'M
practicable in the present runous state Of the
tithes and the general depreciation Of eccesias-
teal property, This disappointment will prove,
according to all accounts, very in urious to the
Government. The wealth of the clergy had
been relied upon as the ultimate resource of the
Government in its emergencies. Whether the
disappointment will be total, however, we are
too little informed to pronounce. II it be, it
will prove fatal to the Administration of Pa
redes.
The New Orleans Bulletin says, the journals
are filled with the gasconade of Ampudia and
other Mexican generals. They beat old TAY-
LoR most shamefully-on paper When it
came to cold steel and gunpowder, their vapor-
ing vanished in the dismal certainty Of being
themselves most RercilessIy thrashed. The
following from an address to the citizens Of Co.
ahulla by Gen. Vasqucz, is too exquisite spe-
cimen oftantaronade TO be lost:
"My friends, will only inform you that
at this moment in Matamoras our cannon
has already Numbered, and that our worthy
and exc, lentIG eneral-in-che Of the division,
Don Mariana Arista, and all the valiant SOL
diers under his command, amid smoke and
dust and death, are hewng with their swords
and moistening with their heroic blood the
crown which is to immortaHze our august
country, on the day when its treacherous enc
mics shall bite the soil which they nave sought
to pilfer from US, &c. &c Sci!
The Vera Cruz papers are outrageous at the
blockade, and are full Of the most heroic pa
triotism and devoted yalor, besides being prol-
fc of the abuse ofthe hated "Stars and Stripes"
which the copious Castilian furnishes.
The Diario gives most mendacious account
of Capt. Fremont's expedition to California
stating that he approached Monterey at the
head ola number of Dragons, but that on the
valorous Mexicans going out against them,
them fled precipitately.
A letter from Vera Cruz TO the Delta, says.
Our city is assuming a warIike appearance.
San Juan de Uluais in an euCellent state ofde-
fence, and every thing in perfect order to begin
operations in case Of need. Our streets are
promenaded day and night by the bands of mu-
sic and recruiting officers, raising volunteers;
and the cries of death to the Yankees! Death
to the usurpers" echo in every direction
(Mueran los Yankis! Mueran los usurpadoresD
Notwithstand ing tins, our government hasact-
ed as politely and courteously as circumstances
will allow.
As to the interior, it is quite a different affair
altogether. Gen. Paroles seems determined to
dshonor the post which he undeservedy occu-
pies; and he endeavors TO conceal his proceed
ings by carrying on war with the U. States.
