The Universal, of the oath utimo, says: "Ths
House Of Representatives approved yesterday the
resolution taken by the Senate to grant eighty
days respite TO the committees Of both branches to
try to effect arrangements compromises with
the public creditors. The opposition to this was
strong; for, Messrs. Medina and Banco pointedly
observed, unless before coming to this resolution

the bakers make difference in the quantity Of
bread they deal out for a certain value when flour
is cheap, and desire the attention of the govern
ment to this point.
Gen La Vega, instead of proceeding directly to
Yucatan to carry on the war against the Indians
has gone to the city of Mexico, we presume, for
fresh instructions.
OOIOncl Carro6CO, an OIuCCer well known In the
valley of the Rio Grande during the war with
Mexico, appears to have made himself particularly
obnoxious to the authorities of Chihuahua. He il
accused Of atrocious and cowardly conduct and
the general government has been called upon to
punish him severely.
The Indians continue their depredations in Du-
range and other States in the north. Near Canu-
tillo, a few weeks since, they made descent upon

la &c herd Of cattle and other stock.
They have finally introduced the Schotisch in the
Mexican capital, and the dark-eyed seloras and
senoritas in raptures with it, if the newspaper
