Relations rith Meric0 .

correspondent Of the Journal of Com
merce, writing from Washington a few days
since, speaks of the result of his inquiries OF
those most intimate with the retiring Mexican
Minister, Mr.. Rosas, in what condition he left
the relations of his country with the United
States. He says the Mexican government
has determined on two points
First. Never to give the right of building a
road through their country, TO any company of
foreigners. They will never allow foreigners
to make AMI own, and have the management
of, road across the Isthmus of Tehuantepcc.
The grant to Garray is annulled, and will new
er be made valid nor will any new grant ever
be made.
2nd. They will never relinquish the elev-
enth article of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hi
dalgo, never release the United States from the
obligations of that article-nor in any way
compromise them. They simply notify the
Government occasionally Of the progress made
in ascertaining the extent of the just reclama-
tons of Mexico under that article. They will,
as they say, stand on these two points, and any
Mexican who abandons either of them will be
branded as traitor.

Mr.. john w. Fsrasy-The FORFEIT Gaze
We have for some days had on fle q very
remarkable letter ELECTED 10 the course Of the
Forrest trial. II is letter from Dir. JOHN w.
FoRsEY, the present Clerk Of the House oil
Representatives. Mr.. F., we would conjec.
ture, must be very sociable and agreeable
gentleman, one who accomplishes much
through soeiabiiity. We were struck with
familiar and endesring terms employed by wri
tiers speaking Of him pending the canvass fo'
the Clerkship of the House: "ourfrie For
ney"-"My friend Forney." Sc. The letter
to which we allude is written by Mr.. F. to Mr.
George Roberts of Boston, the editor Of the
Boston Times. II has been acknowledged by
Mr. Forney as having been written by him. 1
discloses a plan which Mr. George Roberts is
urged. by an appealto his friendship, TO execute
by which he was very much to endear himsel
to Forrest. Mr.. Forney informs Dir. Robert:
that Mr.. Forrest had discovered very suspi-
cious intimacy between his wife and Dir. Geo
Jameson, and had determined to separate
from her. To obtain a divorce, however, he
wanted proof Of the Illicit nature of this init
macy; and Mr.. Roberts was urged by Dir. For
ney to procure it in the following manner
I'VE quote from Mr.. Forney's letter:)
al named youi TO him, (FGrrest,) as safe
steady and intelligent friend, and he will never
forget what you may do for him in this, to him,
most vital matter. He suggests that you might
institute intimate relations mith j., and then
induce him, either in yonr presence or in com
pday, TO admit as a thing to be pr0ad of, has

him; he is game too small for Forrest, and
any admission he may make may be impor.

relieved from hateful bond.
"Cau you manage this thing my friend III

is nearly crazy at the idea Of being placed in
his present position: but he wiN spend halt he
is rorM TO be released from 10. This matter
must be kept secret. Abore all, do not name
me in connection uiM it-excuse me for trou
bling you to regard to it. My ardent at
tachment to glorious Forrest must be my ex'
cuse. Now, won't you help to relieve him2''
As further means of accomplishing the
plan, Mr.. F. suggests that one John Green, an
actor, who is devoted friend of Forrest, may
know Jameson, and might help to begule
him. This is one of the coolest plots we ever
read Of 1t seems to have been copied from
lagos scheme to ruin Cassie. This plotting
of Forrest and Forney-this making a man
drunk to draw from him confessions pleasing
to his vanity of what may or may not have
happened, will hardly elevate either in stand
ing and responsibility.

New YORK, Jan. Is.
The aspect Of the Forrest case is daily grow
ing darker for MIR. Forrest. The Forney let
ter, and the testimony of witnesses produced
to-day, have perceptibly turned the current OF
public opinion in favor ofihe W fe. Forrest is
shown to be loose in habits and reckless Of APP
pearances. So the endless trial wags on.
Another accident occurred to-day, by the
falling of a wall. A young lad was killed by
thesrubbish falling upon him. This is the third
event of melancholy interest in the loss OF
lives, which has occurred this week. There
is carelessness somewhere.
The new City Government is making clean
| sweep of the Wing officials; the Democrats
having clear majority, and consequently,
| following the bent of til cir INCLINATION without
material hindrance. The curious antics whic h
are the natural result of new order of things
here, are being acted out in this way.
The physicians of the city are busily en-
| ployed. The mortality is large, and the amount
| of sickness somewhat greater than is usual at
| this season ofthe year. The deaths per week
average upwards of four hundred.
The Hahnemann Academy Of Medicine held
its annual meeting last evening, when the in
augural address of the President elect, DR..
| Curtis, was delivered. The Homeopaihisls
who constitute the Hahnemann Academy are a
large and reputable body, and their proceed
| ings give great offence TO the a-conserva-
tive OF the Old school of Medicine.
