CoTTRoTEEsT AMONG THE JEws.-FOr some
years past an animated controversy has been going
on among the Jews in the United States relative to
the observance or neglect ofancent ceremoniaIs and
the "Orcdent," an able periodical in this city, edit
ed By the Rev. Mr.. boeser, has contained many com
munication9 on The subject. In New York and
Charleston it has been especially warm. and pro-
gressed far that synagogues have been erected by
each party. The difference consists in the fact That
portion Of the sect desire TO secure freedom Of ac-
ton TO the matters Of keeping open their stores on
Saturday, and the eating Of prohibited meat at cof-
fee houses. The opposition party demand strict
conformity with all tile acquisitions Of Tie Jewish
creed and an observance Of the forms aud ce1cmoni
ais Of Jewish worship.
At St. Lofts, few days ago, the difficulty ran
so high that the law has beea appealed to- Quite

The MEXICAN PRoToCoL.-1'he National In
telligencer contains an elaborate examination of the
subject of the Protocol to the Mexican treaty, which
no dOubt.eNpcSSes the views and conclusions of the
present Administration. The Mexican government
has shown disposition To consider the Protocol as
key or guide To The construction of the provision
OF the Treaty of Peace. That such a view Of it is
not justified either by the facts Of the case or bv the
law and usage Ut nations, is abundantly shown by
this exposition.
The following is a summary of the results to
which the article referred TO, arrives, after full in
vestgatiun Of the whole matter:
j. That our Commissioners had no power 10 NE.
gntlate on any Of the points 10 which the Protocol
refers, except as to the mode of payment of the
twelve Millions on which, however they could
conclude nothing until the Treaty of Peace as a.
mended on our part, had been ratified by Mexico
2. That the explanations and assurances given
by our Commissioners 10 the Mexican Government
arc IN direct opposition to the of the treaty of
peace as clearly and unequivocally shown by its
terms.
}. That the treaty was ratified by the Mexican
Government, without any protest, exception, or OBJ
objection Whatever Ill It's acts Of ratification TO any
part of the treaty.
a. ! hat the ratification was given by the MeXi-
can Government with the full and certain knowl-
edge, oil lis part, of the eXactness of the first and
second of the above propositions.
5. That the Mexican Government confirmed its
assent TO the treaty by Immediately afterwards ac-
ceptlng the first insament of three millions Of dol
lars, made payable to ii by the United States under
the twelfth article. and by other acts in accordance
with other slipulaiiohs of the same.
If these propositions be admited-and no grounds
can be seen Tor impugning any ore Of them in any
way--ii follows necessarily that MeNco is bound TO
the observance ofthe treaty in all respects by every
principal of national law and national honor: and
the nited States re equally justified i'm dsIeua rdnu
the interpretations 10 which their Commissioners
assented, in signing the Protocol without any pow
er or authority to do SO, and in express conrayen
tion Of their Instructions.
