By the barque Claremont, Capt Lermond we have re-

letter from Guadalaara states that many of the in
habants who had intended going to the California gold
region had abandoned their design, upon learning that
proclamation had been made by the American authorities,
dec arng that none but citizens would be allowed TO work
at the placers
The conduct of General Minon is highly praised for
his efforts to suppress Indian incurslons into Nuevo
Leon.
bill had been introduced into the lower House of the
Mexican Congress- for the construction of railroad
the republic, commencing at Vera Cruz and ter
minaling at Acapulco The details OF the measure arc
not gwen but the road is TO be constructed by the federal
government
The legislature of the State of Puebla had voted against,
Cong allowing Santa Anna 10 return and it be-
eved that Vera Cruz, Jasco, Zacatecas and San Luis
will adopt resolutions 10 the same purport.
The citizens of Alvarado had pettoned Congress to
make that place port of entry for foreign vessels.
The Mexican papers discussing the expediency OF
the return OF Santa Anna, propositions both for and
against the measure being now pending before Con
gress.
The legislature of Jaisco had appropriated "a 900 for
the relief of Plus TX.

The Monitor contains letter dated Maza,lan, Febru-
airy 10, stating that Gen p f. Smiths proclamation, rel
alive to foreigners respassing the public land of the
United States had been circulated that vicinity Some
persons believed it forgery concocted to prevent too
great influx into the gold country On the 18th Feb
ruary the Peruvian barque Fanny left Mazatlan for San
Francisco carrying than one hundred and fifty pas
sengers. Gen Smiths proclamation had alarmed many
of the emgants but they conc uded to TAX The chance
1t appears the press of Mexico is nearly unanimous
against the return of Santa Anna.
In the Monitor OF the 4th instant appears long
munication from Messls. Manning Mcintosh, setting
forth deliberately the superior advantages of the Tehuan
,epec route over that OF Panama They state that they

told that have s1uandered something like half mil
lion of dollars for the introduction of Coolies from the
East Indies who now, instead of aiding us by their
labor, wander about the streets and literally nothing
but beggars And in this deplorabe state of things our
legislature is at open warfare. The assembly having
passed bill making reductions of 10, 90 and 30 per
the council has vetoed it, giving for that the
offices being held for life, their salaries cannot be
changed Our revenue, meantime, even If these re-
ductlons were made, would show deficit of 100000.
By way of reprsa the assembly, in voting the reve
nue. bill, the income from which is usually applied TO
the payment of salaries has added resolution that for
this year the income shall be employed only in maintain
ing the public institutions, such as hospitals, &c. How
the officials are to be paid remains question.

revenue bill would not be voted, and that merchants
would take advantage of the omission escape the pay

REVUE DIES DEUx MONDEs.


NouvelIe Periodic, avec la Collaboration des
COMMITTEES Litteraires ct scientiriques, de
la France ct DIES pays strangers.
Published on the first and fifteenth OF every month.
Each number contains l76 pages, Svo., at $l2 80
per annum
~ The Revue DIES Deux Mondes has been formed
for the purpose of establishing am intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. Ii Is
proposed in this collection to give prominent
place to the affairs of the American Union, to the
labors OF its politicians, and to the Literary and
Scientific publications of its Authors. The Revue
DIES Deux Mondes now makes a public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending TO it,
through Mr.. Putnam, OF New York, copy of each
of their publications. The Revue is in better po
sition than any other organ in Europe to serve IA
| an intellectual link between the Old and the New
World, which has as Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
OF France. Many of its contributors have visited
North and South America, and it still counts among
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps.
Each number of the Revue, in addition its articles
signed by the first of France, contains under
the title Of" Chronique de la Quinzane," bistori-
cal summary OF the principal events OF the political
world, which will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European move
