suspension of specie payments BY the banks 1t

that no timcs any circumstances justify resort

English creditors to agree to the arrangement Of
tho foreign debt in the manner decreed by the
Mexican Congress some months since.
The Senate had decreed an annuity of $4,000 to
the x-President, General Herrera.
Rumors were ahoat of pronuncidmenfo in Ma
zatlan, in which number of officers of the regular
army were concerned. They had been arrested by

The Mexican Congress had granted to Don Jose
Maria Esteva the exclusive privilege, for one hun
dred years, of railroad to be constructed by him,
from Vera Cruz to Madellan; to be commenced
within five, and finished within ten years. In fifty
years the government commences to receive ten
