INTERESTING To TRAVELLERS THROUGH
MEXICO. the National Intelligencer publishes
an official correspondence held lately between the
Mexican Minister at Washington and the Secre-
taries of State and War, in relation TO the rights
Of Mexico over the armed parties of Americans
who are seeking the Pacific by routes through
Mexico. The Intelligeneer calls attention TO it. as
evidence that the authorities Of Mexico are pre-
pared and determined to resist and punish abuses
of Mexican hospitality, such as those said TO have
been committed in the State of Chihuahua-and
that they will not be connived at, ro- the guilty.
persons screened by the authorities Of the United
States" The correspondence was commenced by
Senior De Ia Rosa, in formal complaint of the
excuses committed at the town of Paso nv Ameri-
can citizens who entered, armed, without pass
ports, and committed acts of violence and insult
upon the inhabitants He calls the attention of
this Government to these acts, and gives formal
notice that the Government of Mexico will not
allow foreigners of any nation to traverse its ter
ritory, without carrying and presenting TO the
proper authorities their passports in due FORM and
if such foreigners armed for their own defence,
the Government will subject them TO such restrie.

turers; so that, he says, " the latter unless they
submitin future, as they should, to the laws aud
authorities of the country, may be pursued and al
tackled as highway robbers, (Joragidos,) and tried
according to the laws, if apprehended." To pre-
vent such conflicts he asks the interposition of the
authorities of the United States to restrain these
parties. Mr., Clayton referred the letter to Mr..
Crawford the Secretary of War, who replied, in
a letter, which was communicated TO Senior De Ia
Rosa, Mr.. Crawford can find no law authorizing
the Executive to restrain armed parties from going
to Oregon or California but says that if they lsavs
the territory Of the United States and enter that of
Mexico, they are liable to Mexican laws for ali the
breaches of Mexican internal regulations and that
the United States cannot righilully interfere in
their behalf They must, as he says, " abide the

that if Mexico is unwilling that armed parties
should enter her territory, she should cause notice
to be given along the frontier Parties of emgrant
should be aware Of this correspondence, and guild,
themselves accordingly.

IDIosYEoRAsT.-The Rev. DR.. spragus gives an

Spague, lately arrested at Brooklyn, for supposed
attempt at violence and robbing, made on a lady in
the street, and in broad day Mr. SpraRne at
tempted to get possession of ths lady's Shoes The
following facts old by his father, explain the cir
cumstances at Brooklyn, which we published a
few days ago: From early boyhood, this son had
eyinced strange propensity for getting possession
of the shoes Of the female part OF the family. This
propensity was not steady, but periodical As early
as at thirteen or fourteen years of age il was de-
velUped, the fact being notorious not 10 the family
only, but TO the domestics, some of whom being
now married and settled at BROOKLYN, are referred
TO by name and address. When the son was about
that age, the shoes OF Mrs. Sprague and her daugh
tiers began to disappear, especially new ones some
times one shoe, sometimes the other when found

his trunk, his bed, his room, and syly concealed in
various other paCes,) they were generally wet
thoroughly soaked in WATER or if dry had the shrv-
elled appearance of having been thus soaked and
they were made unfit TO wear. The father charged
this upon the son, threatened and reasoned with
him, but in vain. Sometimes the habit would
sleep for months, and he would be joked upon his
improvement; then it would return, and no means,
severe or kind, which the parent could devise
would check it; and the only remedy was vigil
lance, which was occasionally mingled with such
remarks as, Glad when Charles is married. then
we can keep our shOes'-shOwing the nOtoriety of
this propensity"
