CONFEDERATION Msxrup AND

nyunc of the 18th inst. says: The Monitor
Repnhlicano, the official organ of the Mcxi-
can Government, alludcs to tho s,atcmcn,
that in April last, an agent Of the Southern
States visited that capital incognito, in order
To propose II psnn Of II confederation between
Mexico md the Southern States. The Mon
itor denies OH authority the statement, as
sorting Tint It is false from beginning to
end, that the Government was nawar even
OF the existence Of such an agent; that con-
scrucntly the plan aElm'trl to never was pro-
posed to the Mexican Cabinet; was never
discussed therein, and that the British, Min
i,tor never has addressed n word TO tho Mex
lean Government on such II subject. Thus
this wonderful story falls 10 pieces.
