MEXICO, Wednesday, Aug 20, 1851.
Since the project of the meeting Oh the
Governors of the States for the purpose of creating
permanent revenue, Congress has done nothing of
any importance, and several days have passed with
out there being quorum in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties
The said Governors and other representatives, OF
the States have held several preparatory meetings IN

what they shall do. Finally, to-day, they notified
the Minister Of Finances that they desired his project
for creating a revenue, In order to have base to
guide them | am aware Of no other plan OF Pima
Cueyas than the one embraced his four celebrated

capitation tax, contribution of four per cent on all
the real estate of the country, and consumption du

ticnce. 1t is not very improbable, however an at
tempt will be made to obtain the recommendation of
the comforting of extraordinary faculties on the Elk

The Monitor continues It's attacks on the Church,
advocating the appropriation of the Church revenues
to the Government. IL is general opinion that If
the former will not lend the latter must take the re-
sponslbility Of forcing them to do So But the ques
ton is how is this TO be done with success when the
consent OF Congress IS required ms Is difficult TO
answer but the Monitor rests its hopes of this on the
favorable result of the elections far as heard from,
assuring that the next Congress, which will meet In
January, Will be composed of those Of the liberal
party. ,
