Further Me xtcan News.
Our files of papers from the city Of Mexico. by
the Alabama, reach to the 18th utiIno, and find
in them good deal of news.
The Eco del Commsrcio OF Vera Cruz says that
the Alabama was detained in port some time, on
account of the desire of the captain TO avoid paying
tonnage duties. For her three previous voyages
the Alabama, in conscquepce OF an arrangement
with Colonel Ramsey, had. not paid these charges,
but now that the cement is at end the col
lector of the port demanded payment. hecaptain
affirmed that, as our treaty with Mexico requires
the admission of vessels into her ports on the
same terms those accorded to the vessels Of the
most favored nations, and that. the English
steamers paid no tonnage duties, the Alabama was
entitled to similar exemption. To this the Eco
replies that the English steamers carry only the
mails and passengers, whereas the Alabama had
freight in addition.
We mentioned last evening the rumors of a
revolution which are rife in Mexico. The govern
ment to be at its wits ends, and Congress is
no better off,
After spending many months in a vain endeayor
to devise ways and means for replenishing their
a worse condition than at first. The only practi-
cable measure, that of removing the ''prohibi-
tions,' or restrictions which now paralyze the in
dustry and commerce of the country, has been set
aside. For some time the Chambers have been
gagged in discussing the expediency of granting
the President extraordinary powers, SO that he may
be able to raise funds in his own way, without any
necessity for recourse to Congress-. This measure
counts. still under discussion in the Chamber OF
Deputies. A committee Of that body had reported
in avor of it, and there ia little doubt that it passed
on the last day Of the session. This would make
Arista virtual dictator, and will open the door
for the attempts OF other aspirants. In fact, the
country seems to be in very distracted condition,
and rapidly approaching state Of anarchy simi-
lar to that which preceded the war with the United
States.
We do not find in our papers any thing definite
about the Tehuantepec treaty, or the grant to Ga
ray, though we have no doubt that the Information
we published last evening was correct. The dis
cussion was conducted with closed doors, but it
was generally understood that the final action of
Congress would be the same that referred to by
Correspondent. Cn the subject Of the unnulling
OF the Garay grant, the Trait PCfnion, after say
ing that no serious mischief would result from
the rejection of the treaty, makes the following
marks:
"But in regard to annulling the concession to
Garay, the case ia very different, as in this the
Legislative powers have been made TO infringe on
the judicial, and, according to the American Jour-
nals the legislature has not the power ofannulling
that which comes exclusively within the jurisdic-
tion Of the courts, and as the Garay grant has
passed, by contract, into the hands Of Americans,
they will see in the act Of Congress denial JUS
tice, or q usurpaton of power, which will very pro.
badly give rise to diplomatic dficulties.'
The UaiUs,sai, paper published in the capital,
endcavors to throw upon Seaor Lacunza all the
odium the negotiation. To this accusation the
minister replied that he fully accepted the re-
sPonsibility, if responsibility there be, of every
thing that done relative to this affair." while he
wns in Office. The Trait d. Union says that this is
noble answer, and that Sefior Lacunza will here
after remember ii with pride; that If by any sad
chance the Tehuantepcc treaty should not be rati
fed, and the concession to Garay not be rccog-
Missed, time will come, and that before very long,
when his acts during his term of Office will be his
best title to the esteem of the reasonable people Of
the country.
