MEXICO.

The schooner Bonita, Capt Sbiza left Vera Cruz on
the 28th ut and arrived at New Orleans on the 5th
inst She brings dates rom the city Of Mexico OF the
Dist ut.
The Mexican Government is taking measures to
orty the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The committee
on Military Affairs OF the lower House Of Congress
have reported bill for the establishment OF Jour militia
ry colonies on the lsthm4s, and for the erection of
works OF defence al the mouth OF the Coaizaeoacos,
and at other points OF the Isthmus
The Trait dUnion says that letters received in the
city ofMexico represent the 1slhmus as in state of
great confusion. Melandez, the Indian chief, conn-
ues to rule over large PORTION OF the sthmus whilst
thesconduct OF Cen Nunoz, sent to subdue him, in
spires dsrus According to the same account, some OF
the soldiers OF Guerrero the Mexican commander, had
gone over to the insurgents 1t was also rumoured that
pronuncamento would lake place In Chlapas, one OF
the States of the Isthmus.
The project Of building a railroad from Vera Cruz
to the Pacific through the city of Mexco, has been
vived. The committee appointed by the Legisa ture
OF the Slate ofVera Cruz to concect with the federal
Government upon the "ways and MEANS" had left
Vera Cruz 5or the city of Mexico
From verbal accounts which we have received, says
the Picayune we are led to believe that Artisans pop
ularity is the decline, and that revolution against
his government is extremely probable. Indeed many
persons consider it certain, and say that it will occur
in lew weeks. 1t is said that the President has aban
doned the liberal party and allied himself with the
clergy, for bride. This course it is understood
adopted by the clergy their large possessions
which were menaced by the government in order to re-
plenish the treasury These reports, however, receive
he Monitor which still yields quasi support
Arista's administration, wages vigorous
ever upon the priests, whilst the Universal, the ac
knowedged Jesuit organ, continues 10 exhibit the most
bitter hostility to the Government The rumors OF rev.
outon, made public by the press refer to The designs
and Vaccinations OF the Santanstas. These ramors
have received more credit from the circumstances Of
the recent journey OF oil Santas agents TO Mexico
and thesngula announcement OF Jamasa journal that
the eX president would return his country in June
accordance with the general desire of the people: We
have before US Implement Of the Monitor Of June
loh which is filled with an article entitled "Dellrlos
do los ReDoltosos." 1t commences thus:
II he interchangeable patriots, the able agents OF the il
lustrous prescribed, those who will not eat while
his benemera eXcelenoy does not direct the destnes
OF the country which is dear to him, have engaged
in the wild undertaking OF causing to be believed that
the victor OF Cerrro Gordo VIII some day to this
capital and they add with candor worthy OF COM
passion, the condescendng assertion, that Senior
Arsta no doubt from pure fear has resolved to give
up the Government to Sonor Uraga and retire to San
Luis Poosi'
Decidedly the most important feature of the late
Mexican news (says the NJ O. Bee of the 9TH inst re-
ates 20 the violent undertaken by the Mexi
eau Government to obstruc the progress of the Tehuan
tepec scheme. 1t appears that the Government has
addressed communication to the authorities OF Oaaca,
requiring them forthwith publish the act OF Congress,
annuing the decree OF November 5th lS46-known as
the Garay grant--and commanding them to prohibit
further surveys and reconnaissance at Tehuantepec
Coazacoacos. 1t lis credbly understood that 400 regu
lar troops have been despatched to the lsthmus 10
force the determination of the Government and to ex-
pei the Americans from the territory.
These demonstrations do not in the least alarm the
Company here. They have advertised fol- five hundred
aborers to work on the contemplated road and if the
Mexicans persist in their insane and iniquitous folly,
the Company will appeal to the Government of the
United States for protection. Trouble is brewing
Mexico has learned nothing from the past. If once
again the taons of the American Eagle should grasp
that country, we may be well assured that she will not
escape easily before. Whether the stupid
policy OF that sham republic be the result OF her
absurd PRIDE of the whsperings ofthe British
diplomacy, matters very little. II ever American
army marches again upon Mexico, manifest destiny
will make short work Oft.
The diligence between Vera Cruz and Mexico
attacked short distance from Puebla by a band OF
robbers. The latter were warmly received by two
and two of their number killed mortally wounded.
The party soon understood they had to do with some
thing more substantial than Mexican valor, and took
to their heels with all possible speed.
