From verbal accounts which we have received,
we are led to believe that Arisas popularity is on
the decline, and that revolution against his gov
ernment is extremely probable. Indeed many
persons consider it certain, and say that it will
occur in few weeks. Ii is said that the President
has abandoned the Liberal party, and allied HIM
self with the clergy, for brbe. This course, II 10
understood, was adopted by the clergy TO secure
their large possessions, which were menaced by
the government in order 10 replenish the treasury
These reports, however, receive no continuation
in the newspapers.
The Monitor, which still yields quasi support to
Aristas administration, wages as vigorous war
ever upon the priests; whilst the Untusrsai, the
acknowledged Jesuit organ, continues to exhibit
rumors of revelation made public by the press
fer to the designs and Vaccinations OF the Santan
istas. These rumors have received more credit
from the circumstance Of the recent journey Of one
OF Santa Annals agents to Mexico, and the singu-
lar announcement of Jamaica journal that the
cx-President would return to his country in June,
in accordance with the general desire OF the peo-
pie. We have before US u supplement OF the Mon
ifor, of June l5 which is filled with an article
titled "Deliios de los ReroItosos." 1t commences
thus
"rhc indefatigabie patriots, tho able agents of
the illustrious prescribed, those who will not even
eat while his 6snemsrih excellency does not direct
the destinies of the country which 10 30 dear TO
him, have engaged in the wild undertaking Of
causing it to be believed that the victor OF Cerro
Gordo will some day return to this capital; and
they add, with candor worthy of compassion, the
most condescending assertion that Senior Arista,
no doubt from pure fear, has resolved to give up
tho government 10 Senior Uraga. and retire to San
Lvis Potosi."
Congress is busily engaged in dcvising ways and
means to raise revenue for carrying on the govern
ment.
The Chamber of Deputies has adopted the propo-
siton in regard to the dsrecho de consume" This
imposes an additional tax Of eight per cent. on all
foreign merchandise imported through the mari
time and frontier custom houses into the interior OF
the republic The Chamber rejected the re- cstab-
lishment of the alcdbala in the district. The alcG
baIa is tax on the transfer Of property. Senior
Pena Cuevas had introduced four propositions for
the raising of revenue The first imposes contri-
button Of four dollars on Thousand on all the su-
burban and rural property of the republic, except
ing only churches and benevolent or charitable
Institutions The second re-establishes the capita
tion the third provides for collecting the duty
OF three per cent imposed blythe law OF 1871 on the
production Of gold and silver; and the fourth inn
poses contribution Of five per cent on the con-
sumption Of tobacco. II is doubtful whether any,
all Of these measures, can effect any thing in the
way OF relieving the government from its embar-
easements.
There were but 100000 in tho treasury, whilst
$500,O00 are owing for May alone, and it will be
still worse during the summer months.
The government seems determined to follow
strictly the lead Of Congress in the Tehuantepec
affair. In accordance with the late decree annull
ing the grant to Garny, the supreme government
has addressed the following official communica-
ton to the authorities of Oajaca
s'In another note communicate to your excel
Ioncy the decree rendered to-day by the National
Congress, annulIing the decree of November 9th,
lS46, which prolonged the privilege conceded to
ID. Jose de Garny for the opening OF an inter-
oceanic communication across the Isthmus Of Te-
huantepcc.
"Hs excelency the President understands the
imperious duty imposed on him by the constitu-
ton, Of causing the will of the National Legisla
ture to be enforced, desires that your excellency
publish the said decree without loss of time; and
that in the prescribed manner you prohibit all la
bor or scientific reconnaissance at Tchuantepec or
Coatzacoaloos, making the Americans concerned
in the work depart from the republic; or, if they
be permitted to remain, giving them to under
stand that under no consideration will they bc
suffered to prosecute their work. and that they
only remain subject to the laws Of the natisn, in
the same manner any other foreigners
We learn from private but reliable source
that four hundred regular troops have been ordered
to the isthmus to enforce this decree.
The Trait d. Union asserts that foreign diploma
cy had nothing to do with the action OF Congress
on the Garay grant. That body alone must bear
all the responsibility. The government itself can
not be accused Of participation in this act. which
was passed against its inclinations. The only re-
proach which can with propriety be urged against
the administration Is, that it did not oppose the
proceedings of Congress energeticaiy, and with
all the means in its power.
A conductd TO leave the city of Mexico on
the 22d ut. for Vera Cruz, with large amount of
specie.
The Captain General of the leland of Cuba has
officially demanded of the Mexican government the
recall of nj. Buenaventura Vivo, Mexican consul
at Havana, on the ground Of being connected with
the partsans of Lopez. The Captain General in
timated that if the consul not recalled, his
9uatur would be withdrawn. Notwithstanding the
Mexican government is convinced of the inno-
cence of Senior Vivo, it compelled to displace
him. Angel Iturbide has been appointed to the
office.
The port of Vera Cruz for some time has been
almost completely deserted by vessels of all kinds
1t will be recollected that soon after the opening
of the port of Iampico to foreign flour, the city
ny,sntdnienfo imposed tax of bit on every bar
rel imported. This, it was thought, was not legal,
as the States have power to lay duties on foreign
importations, and consequently the commercial
houses OF Diego de la Lastoa and Delong s. Ca
mache refused to pay the tax. On this, an officer
and five policemen went to those houses to enforce
payment. The merchants still refused, saying
they would not yield till the supreme government
should decide the question; and, therefore, the
avunfa1piento had to back out.
The Trait d. Union learns that the vessel which
recently alarmed the people of Mazatlan much,
from its being reported that she had on board
number of American adventurers, has arrived at
that port from San Francisco. 1t appears that the
Mexicans were unduly alarmed, as there no
expedition on the vessel. When she left San Fran
cisco she took fifty Mexicans down to San Diego,
and thence took as many more to Mazatlnn. The
Mazatlan people, on learning these facts, got
their fright
Miguel Esteva, bandit chief noted for his depre-
dations in the State of Sinaloa, recently killed
rc an encounter with the government troops.
The vote OF Congress relative to the Garny grant
has already had effect on the measures OF the
govannment. On the Sth of June, the order pub
lshed in our paper last evening, prohibiting the
continuation OF the survey Of the Isthmus, was
made known to the expedition. committee of
the Chamber of Deputies, at the suggestion of the
government, presented report recommending
that four military colonies be established the
Isthmus of TehuanteDec. and the government be
