The MEXICAN PRorocoL Difficulty
Correspondence between the two Gov.
ernments.-The Washinglon correspon.
dent ef,he New York Express, says:
or "lhe Mexican PROTOCOL" | learn be.
yond what have before said. that it has been
subject Of controversy between the official
representatives OF the two Governments, but
the correspondence has decided nothing, and
the subject has been beguealhed to the new
Administration by The late dominant party
as one OF the most intricate, perpleIing, and
difficult TO be disposed Of.
The Mexican minister claims that 10 all
nienls and purposes the SO called Protocol"
is part OF The Treaty and that without the
explanatory provisions it could never have
been "spproved and signed" by the execu.
tive and Ministers OF the Mexican Govern
ment.
The answer is, that the Mexican Con.
gress approved the treaty independently Of
the Protocol, and before the Pfaoco was
signed, and that the explanations were an
alter act. The response is that it was no
treaty without The official signatures, and
thai The Executive was pars of The uea,y
making power, and the only nego,ialory
known to The Mexican Government.
The replication again is that the treaty,
as approved by The Senate and Executive
here, is left open only to the fair cons,ruc.
ton OF The original text by both Govern.
