IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

The New York Sun has received, by way of
Havana, advices from Vera Cruz to the 9Th and
from the city of Mexico to the 9th ultimo, from
which we learn that the resistance Of the Church
to the seizure of its property is likely to end in
compromise, by which the Hierarchy agree to fur
nish the Government with nearly half million of
dollars per month, during the continuance OF the
war with this country. The details Of this news
are thus given by the Sun:
