From Mexico.

BY the arrival of the Water Witch, Capt Brown,
from Vera Cruz, we have received papers from the
city Of Mexico 10 the Both ultimo.
ID. Pedro Garcia Condo, the boundary commits
sioner appointed by the Mexican government, ar
rived at Guadalajara on the 18th ult. The paper
published at that city says that the accounts Of the
proceedings Of the commission published in the
Mexican papers entirely false. The line be-
tween the two CALIFORNIA; was entirely completed,
and only needed the monuments which are 10 be
placed at the examinations. These are TO be con-
structed in the United States Of marble and iron,
and two engineers, one on each side, were to meet
at San Diego 70 place them.
After this the two commissioners are TO meet at
Paso del Norte on tho first Monday Of November
next, as II would be useless 10 pass the California
desert for the third time. Further, says the Qua
dalajara paper, the American commission has not
deserted its post IL han not spent 900, neither
has IL been in need Of instructions, as has been
stated.
An employee of the State of Guanajuato had
vdmosed for the Tapitat with large quantity Of
the State funds in his possession. The people were
greatly scandalized, but the authorities thought IL
best to let the scoundrel go, thinking we suppose,
that guilty conscience II its own accuser.
On the arrival OF Sr Condo at the capital, rcsolu-
tions were introduced into Congress asking him by
what authority he had left the scene Of his duty,
and inquiring the expenses Of the commission, &c.
The Committee on Finance has introduced reso-
lutions declaring that the reduction OF duties on

September, lst7 and the Sd Of May, ls4s, docs not
include foreign cotton. In no custom house

privileges be permitted subsequently TO May 30th,
ls4s.
sr. Tornc has proposed In the Senate TO pro-
rogue the term Of President Herrera till the year

The Trait d. Union asserts that the Mexican gov
eminent has officially declared the accusations di-
rected by the authorities of Matamoros against the
French vice consul at that place TO be without foun-
dalton, and has given orders 10 General Avalos to
respect in future the tranquility of Mr. Bousiques,
who remains perfectly satisfied at his post.
News from Campeachy, TO the 10th Of March, is
not quite 80 favorable 10 speedy termination OF
the war as that previously received All the zeal
and patriotism of the ecclesiastical commissions
says the Campeche Fsniz, has produced no other
result than the submission OF a few families and
villages, and some few agreements with the petty
chief OF the savagcs. General Michcltorena had
signi6ed 10 the ecclesiastical commission his de-
sire of putting an end 10 the war by pacific
means. The chiefs consented 10 open negotiations
and ST. Garcia, noted for his tact and persuasive
powers was sent 10 confer with them The treach-
erous savsgcs however, replied to this pacific de-
monstration by attacking the city Of Thosuca with
a force of 1000. After some time they were re-
pulsed. This circumstance, Of course, broke of
the negotiations.
The election for President Of Mexico comes ON in
